I too was excited for this game .... back in 2005.....

TheHun

anyone else think the pic in the headline is a little NSFW?

Nissan288

Gotta agree with Jihad there that APB has pretty much blown other 'anticipated' MMO titles outta the water for me ( 'cept maybe Warhammer... still looking forward to that). Hopefully there'll be some sorta free trial so that I can play and prove to myself, once again, that MMO's and FPS don't mix all that well.

Infinite_Monkeys

If they release it on 360, I'm down. I just can't get into PC games anymore, I dig RTS's on PC, but thats about all.

3xch4ng3

I find my interest lessening every time this game blips on the radar. Something tells me it's going to be in the same position as PlanetSide.

LightI3ulb

I've been anticipating this for a while. I think its still gonna be good. If you wanna talk about meh, look no further than UTIII. This game already looks better.

cybereality

I'll take the wait and see ticket on this one and calmly go wait in a line for a game I'm actually looking forward to.

vanderblade

I forgot all about this. I had always thought that the 360 was getting first dibs on it.

MasterDex

This is one of those games that has been delayed for so long that you'd swear it had already been released.

It sounded awesome 3 years ago, now you just know it's going to be terrible.

skullivan

Looks like a pay2play battlefield to me.

The_nub_next_door

I have the same feeling towards this as i do Left 4 Dead. I was excited. Once. And unlike alot of other games that get delays, these i haven't seen much improvement in with the delays, so it doesn't seem to make it worth while.

ryivanV2

Huxley...oh yeah...that one...*cough*...it's back now, is it? Greeeat.

Juthan

Well if it's throug Ijji then it's got to be free right [not including the microtransaction] If so then i'll take a shot at it when it's out! I've played maybe one MMO Shooter online but this one looks better anyways.

sUKi

I'll give it a go when it's released but I'm not expecting much.

Guild_Navigator

Was hyped on it years ago. Not so much now...

belo

I'd love to see a demo. Some of the ideas intrigue me and I'd give it a shot if it is more about fps skill than mmo combat since the mmo combat seems to be a little too easy on people. Fps is much more my style for fast paced action.

penetraitor

When I first heard of Huxley and it's premise, I thought "It'll be nothing but chaos." Time passes, about I forget about the game I didn't really care about to begin with (anything mmo = bleh), with ever-so-small reminders popping up here and there.

After hearing this news, nothing has really changed. >_>

mphz

I still love the art direction and design. Koreans have a poor track record, though, of producing games that are actually fun to play.

FightingChance

I'm tingly for MMOFPS lovin

But not Huxley

Jomo7

I remember seeing this game back at E3 in 2005...

Boudabras

Hasn't this game been in development for like 18 million years at this point? I seem to remember people whispering about it several years ago.

Phunk

I was looking forward to this game as an MMO on the 360 but after seeing APB this game has gone right out the window. As for the PC version...once I build my gaming rig I may go ahead and pick this up but I plan on going the AoC route and I can only do one MMO at a time, at least an RPG.

jihadjoe343

I was "tingly" for a long time for it come to 360 more than the PC. I just thought it would be a cool idea/genre for a console game. I really can't commit to another MMO on PC though. Gotta sleep some time.

lionkitten

That screenshot looks so far removed from the UT2k1992 vid of the gameplay they had out last year. If it actually looked like the screenshot then maybe I'd be interested.

Eville1

@Guild_Navigator: Share?

FightingChance

I look forward to another MMOFPS. Hell, I still fire up Planetside with a bunch of friends once week or so. I have yet to see another game that offers battles on the 300-400 person level, and pvp in the fantasy MMOs just isn't the same.

Give me a games with huge battles, sniping, zerging, tanks, and planes and you will get my (and 15 of my friends) $15/mo happily, whether it's Huxley or something that can ship less than 2 years from when it's announced.

McCheeks

@jiffy: Wait, I just found a high res
version of the picture. She does have legs and the thong is justified.

Guild_Navigator

@Guild_Navigator:

One leg at a time just like everyone else?

;)

jiffy

I thought this game looked really cool back a couple years. A console MMOFPS really appeals to me, because its something all of my friends could do. Its a shame now though, seeing it as a game coming to ijji I dont have high hopes for it.
Not that all games on ijji are low quality, but I was under the impression it would be pushed into the market like other MMOs and heavily marketed towards console gamers.

okrangerbob

@Nissan288:

I think it's a little strange that she seems to have thong strings going over her hips. I mean, when you have the lower half of an Alaskan king crab, why bother. Another thing, how did she ever get a thong on in the first place?

Guild_Navigator

I was somewhat excited about this game, but it's taken soooo long for it to actually materialize that I just don't really care anymore.

t0yrobo

@Guild_Navigator: Hahaha, thong justified...

Drake Lake

YES @ confirmation that this game isn't dead.

Doesn't matter to me because I'll be playing it on 360.

Come out quicker!

karasu is my homeboy

@belo: my thoughts exactly.

shouryuuken

Huxley, as far as I know is not being rolled out in an MMO pay model so it's not a monthly subscription based thing. I wonder if this has changed?

okenny :)

@Phunk:

Yeah, wasnt this game featured on the back of the 1st generation 360 boxes?

juscallmeweasel

@Kamesen: Totally disagree. SOE's online ventures never, ever go well.

Blind_Evil

@FightingChance:

Here ya go:

incompleteunit

The Agency is going to be much better than this, and it also has freshness to it. The Agency FTW!

Kamesen

a) APB might be semi-canceled, wasn't there a story that it might get bought by Take Two so they can make their grand theft online or something along those lines? Not more then a name change perhaps..

b) Huxley could be nice, the cool thing was supposed to be you could play cross-platform. Been too long though with not enough progression updates to keep the excitement level even slightly up.

JakeDunn

yay! cant wait to play the beta

Viper

@Dr.Chocobo: And to add to this, it wasn't worth it because in the end, what did you accomplish? Any little empire that was won in the day was destroyed overnight. That is what I feel made Planetside not so great.

That and I personally don't like monthly fees for a single game, so yeah.

Drake Lake

@LightI3ulb: I thought the premise behind Planetside was excellent. I'd have to say it probably had the best FPS massive multi-player "feel" to it. Everyone participates as a whole to get something done. Hundreds of people on the field of battle with a huge variety of things to do. Want to be a sniper? go right ahead. Want to medic? Sure. Want to hack into the other teams base? All up to you and your 50 something cohorts.

The game was a blast, but in the end it wasn't worth coughing up $10 (now $15 i think) a month. It would have been great had they gone the advertisement free to play route like Battlefield Heroes.

Dr.Chocobo

I'm going to give it a try providing the reviews aren't to bad. Late 2008 though? Still sounds like an estimate the way it's phrased.

Sir_Crocidile

I've had high hopes for this game since it was announced. So yeah, I'm still holding on to it being good.

Atsumi

i just saw one of the korean videos in-game... and im not thoroughly impressed. And i thought this was my mmo of dreams

Leepox

my friends and i have been waiting for a couple years for this. hopefully it is indeed later this year, but i doubt it as we havent heard any details of late

kw4k

All I see are boobz. And I have seen better b00bz.

Black_Ops_19

Man I was wondering what happened to this game. Is this going to be a real MMO, or another Hellgate?

Silverbackne

Is it going to be free? It looks way too pretty to be free to play. Though I'm guessing there's going to be a cash shop of some sort.

Aethyr

Meh. I think I'll rather wait for Duke.

Ali

@willyolio:
Thanks for setting me straight. Nothing worse than someone being wrong on the internet.

Guild_Navigator

@Guild_Navigator:
look more closely. she has normal legs. the crab legs are from the mutant monster in the foreground.

willyolio

Sorry Huxley, there was a time i was interested... but you stopped calling so i moved on and met this game The Agency, and things might start getting kinda serious real with us. Nice to see your doing ok though

rinerdar

The game characters actually dress like that? Really?

Jonn

@Drake Lake: And would you prefer it the other way around? Where when one takes over a planet and it's taken forever? Sure they could do with a little achievments boosts, but taking over a planet already augments your base and vehicular stats.

The real accomplishment in Planetside isn't which planets you took over, but the team effort it took to do so. Here's hoping a game comes out like it soon- without its faults.

Dr.Chocobo

Screw Huxley!

All I want is a game exactly like PlanetSide with new graphics and bigger, separate, bases to take over (which require some sort of collosal offensive to caputure, and once captured have some sort of cooldown period).

I've played a lot of FPS and MMOs, but PlanetSide was the only one that actually felt like a proper war was going on. When you ran into action in a heavily contested area, with - literally - hundreds of other players it was like no other game I've ever experienced.

zoz

What the hell is going on in this picture? It looks like a girl wearing a thong and an extremely small top with an ugly helmet is psychically controlling evil tree roots.

That's like a twisted Mad Lib.

Thorax

It's not even a proper MMOFPS (like PlanetSide) it's just a normal FPS with slightly larger multiplayer (like 128 per server, instead of BF2's 64 or whatever)

nonbreakingspace

WoW if the game is on ijji then it obviously turned out like total shit.Ijji has some great games but man.From being pitched as a AAA fps mmo a few years ago to being on ijji.Wow

SlowDeath420

Yeah, I was interested in this game when it was announced for the original Xbox. Now, not so much, especially after seeing the videos -- it looks to me like an even (ridiculously) faster Unreal Tounrment with crappy weapons.

Strangelove

ijji is the kiss of death.

Jon-Claw

Hmmm, you have to wonder why add the MM part to the OFPS bit.
Planetside had a breadth to it that you couldn't achieve in a non MMOFPS.
The successful assault waves in Planetside utilised Artillery, Armour (APCs and Tanks), Air (bombers and gunships and scouts). There was also scope for Spec Ops with behind enemy lines strikes to disable key enemy functionality. So the scale of Planetside had obvious benefits.
I don't know enough about Huxley, but I hope it doesn't turn out like that Starship Troopers scene of the Assault on Klendathu (just loads of men with guns running forward).
Another thing is that with so many players, how do you make a difference? I frequently took part in deep commando raids in Planetside that let to an entire continent being taken. In part, it's why I don't tend to play the MMORPGs as I don't see the benefit of the MM part without just being a tiny cog in a big machine with no way to make a difference....

OrientalHero

I was tingly about MMOFPS games until I played planetside.
It just doesn't seem technologically possible to mix those two genre's because FPS relies so heavily on low latency to achieve a consistent gaming experience.

Low latency and MMO go together like Doritos and Ketchup. (that is to say, it only works in Canada)

phor11

It's about freaking time... I have been waiting for this game for years.
