So, we've all seen the newest MMORPGs in production right? Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, DC Universe, Champions online, ect.
Anyone know where all the originality went?
Star Trek-For the lvoe of god its milked dry, stop trying.
Stargate-99% chance it ends up like age of conan
DC Universe-SoE is making it, need i say more?
Champions Online-CoH2, plain and simple.
Star Wars-Seriously? george lucas should've been shot for making such a crappy sci-fi universe.
I mean, when is another game like Everquest or Neocron going to surface and save us all from these cheap copy games that take decades old TV shows, movies, and books and try to make them into a playable universe.
Im not saying all the newest games are un-original, im saying that damn near all of them are.
Now, i understand fans of these creations are overjoyed by the fact that these are coming into the MMO market, but in my personal opinion, i preffer an original game with a completely made universe, beastiary, class list, ect. uniquely thought up out of nowhere.
With all that said. Purely my opinions and mine alone. Thats what blogs are for though, aren't they? :]
well to have something original first you need a decent idea (seems to have died down quite a bit recently...i haven't seen too many decent epic fantasy settings since HP) and then you need the game to be made in a competent way (seems quite rare nowdays)

Plus I would say the majority of games we are getting are original, they just aren't any good.
Vanguard, Tabula Rasa, Auto Assault, Spellborn, Aion, EVE Online, Darkfall.
The problem is poor gameplay, not plot.
and anyone who says Champions Online is CoH2 is horribly mistaken.
