IGN reports that the Xbox 360 version of the long awaited MMOFPS, Huxley, is roughly six months behind the PC SKU. With localization of the Korean-developed game on PC expected to take around six months and the game due out overseas in the first half of this year, that puts the Xbox 360 release squarely in 2009.
Player Affinity: "Although many MMO-style games try to ape World of Warcraft’s success and formula, there are relatively few quality FPS titles that venture into the MMO arena. Planetside was one moderately successful title in this vein, but often was regarded as too sterile and uncoordinated. Hellgate: London tried it as well to little triumph. With these remnants of titles still kicking around, is there any chance of a MMOFPS that gets it right? Hopefully, Webzen Inc.’s Huxley can fill those shoes. Huxley has been in development for several years and recently expanded to open beta; it will attempt to bridge the gap between modern shooters and the expansive world of MMORPGs like World of Warcraft."
Huxley, a first-person MMO, was first announced way back at E3 2005. The game utilized Unreal Engine 3 and was supposed to come to both Xbox 360 and PC. Things have changed since then, of course. Huxley has gone through numerous delays and the console version has been put on hold indefinitely.
A complete listing of released and upcoming MMO shooter/action games.
That is an incredible list of games with a lot of useful guides and content. THanks!
I am going to make my way through this entire list and be terrible at every game.
They are trying to pretend that its not news though, so there is a story already about it.. well not about the 2009 delay, but the entire article progress report.
Its big news that its delayed till 2009.
Just not the type of news people want on n4g. It would mean that the PS3 isn't the only system with delayed games.
edit:
Ah... I see. approved.
