Massively-multiplayer online role-playing games (aka MMORPGs) haven't had much success on consoles. The only ones that seemed to make a positive impact were 'Phantasy Star Online' on the DreamCast and GameCube, and 'Final Fantasy XI' for the PS2 and Xbox 360 (as well as PC). Many cool-sounding games have been announced only to be whacked in development (e.g. 'True Fantasy Online' and 'Marvel Online')...
Today, Astragon announced a new installment of the Bus Simulator franchise, simply titled Bus Simulator 27, coming for PC, PS5, and Xbox.
Limited Run Games, MARVEL and Konami have announced MARVEL MaXimum Collection for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
would love it if xmen arcade offered two modes. the regular single screen 4 player mode and the ultra wide (simulated dual screen) 6 player mode.
How much you wanna bet that this collection will keep the games in their original aspect radios with no visual fidelity or options?
Was excited until I saw that Limited Run was attached. Their so-called collections thus far have been nothing but sloppily slapped together emulations.
The new cinematic trailer has arrived.
Console mmo's could work if implemented correctly.
an MMO like WoW, is very possible. the problem is blizzard just wants to make money via Battle.Net.
...both Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast as well as FFXI for PC and definitely see MMO's being successful on consoles eventually. It will be a matter of preparation with a few sprinkles of luck when the first REALLY big console MMO takes off.
