In what is one the biggest deals of this coming console generation, Microsoft named Cryptic Studios, the creative force behind PC hit City of Heroes, the developer of its upcoming Marvel-based MMO game for Xbox 360 and PC
The solo developer known as Dizzie hopes to push a new update in between six to 12 months.
At Capcom, Hiroyuki Kobayashi helped build franchises like Dino Crisis and Devil May Cry, as well as original games such as P.N.03 and Killer7. Now, more than 25 years after his first credited game (as a programmer on Resident Evil 1), the producer is relishing the challenge of creating an original IP once again.
The spin-off of Legend of Keepers takes a similar concept in a new direction.
It seems like the 360 will become the console of choice for MMOs. This shouldn't take anybody as a surprise. So far we know nothing about the Sony's or Nintendo's online network, if there is such thing.
City of Heroes is one of the better MMO's on the market. This has soooo much potential. Hopefully with MGS helping they either overhaul the engine..or build a new one that takes advantage of the experience Crytic gained with City of Heroes. I'm also hoping that players can use the marvel heroes...and that the characters move like they "should" (spidey's web-slinging animations should be like the ones in the Activision games, Each character or at least the major ones..have their on individual animations for walking, flying, fighting..etc). Having a great story is good and I'm happy to hear it. I hope they have a HUGE server for this allow much more than 16 players in a game...100+ like Huxley is rumored to have would we sweet. Not to mention the content that will be added via xbl. I could go on and on...bottomlike though...the POSSIBILITIES ARE TRULY ENDLESS!!
