archeage, Phantasy star online 2 if they can play thier cards right. Dont know of any other games that have my attention like these two.

 

And i fail to see how archeage is just another asian mmo? I wish people would stop saying asian mmo? There are many asian cultures and they each have thier own style. I can tell the difference between a korean, japanese, and chinese game. If you cant, please dont just say asian mmo.

some of posters are just pure asian mmo haters, they hate for no reason, simply it's asian made. their passion for hating asian mmo is greater than their passion for enjoying games.

anyway. i agree that archage, eso, lineage 3 and titan are next big things, but i am  looking forward to ff14 realm reborn and blade & soul.

Yeah unfortunately I'm starting to feel that way.  I was really excited about AA at one point, then I saw it being played.  I might still pick it up, but by then there might be a better alternative.

AA is jsut a glorified themepark much in the same token as GW2.  This is my personal Opinion but the things AA is doing dont interest me and plus they have the whole asian style combat/UI/Animation going on.  None of which interest me in the least.

I am hoping for good things from TESO, I honestly think after its dismal reception alot of players will be pleasantly surprised  in its model (barring thye can overlook the fact it isnt Skyrim ported over pixel per pixel and system per system).  For me this is a good thing.

I am also looking forward to Neverwinter fro mthe vids ive seen it looks great but I am hoping Perfect World doesnt ruin.  Then theres The WarZ which is looking more and more like a winner in the progression centric survivability mode of gameplay.

Well... that's a tough one, because although it may not be PC to say so - they're not wrong.

The more PC thing for them to say might be that it's just another non-Western MMO.  It's not so much that the game's Asian/Eastern/etc... it's that it's not Western.

It doesn't matter if it's Korean, Japanese, or Chinese.  That doesn't change that they're not Western.  It's not about they're all the same (which obviously they're not) - it's about them being different.

So while it might come off as more PC to say they're non-Western...in the end, they're still saying the same thing.  If it's somethign that somebody would be insulted by, it doesn't really matter how it's said.  Heck, trying to butter it up might even be more insulting to some.

It's something to keep in mind though, we've got folks posting from all around the world.  Even the "Western" thing's going to be off, because much like Eastern games are not all alike, neither are Western games.

Can make it tough, what's big in X might not even be tiny in Y... then you get into even if Player A and Player B are both in X; it doesn't mean they're the same.  Different folks for different strokes...

I'm not really looking forward to any of the games on the horizon at this point.  If I could afford it, I'd play TSW.  As is, I tend to bemoan the games that are lost and grumble bitterly that no games are coming along like them.

Makes me think of Expendables and Expendables 2.  Why are they doing well?  Well, because we didn't have any action heroes... so we needed to bring out our old AARP action heroes to get our fix.  Twisted, eh?

I want the Expednables/Expendables 2 MMO (no, not an actual Expendables game) - I want somebody to bring back one of the good games.  Because I need that fix.  Twisted, eh?

Yeah, some of the things AA is doing have caught my attention from the beginning, but I guess when the reality hit me once combat gameplay footage was up, it lost a bit of its shine.  Who knows, it could still turn out to be incredibly fun and profitable for the company that makes it, but in the west?  I doubt it.

The thing people need to understand about TESO is that TES goes a lot further than Skyrim.  Just because it's the most recent game doesn't mean the focus of the MMO should be on it, the land of Tamriel is just gigantic and maybe this will be the first MMO that makes a continent that feels like a continent and not a big town.  Honestly, I haven't done a lot of research on this game yet, so I don't know what to expect, but seeing as all of the TES games have been (arguably) incredible, I have the feeling the guys in charge of those games will make TESO as fun as they can.  Oh, and there's got to be a first person mode...

what about that otherland mmo?

not sure when it comes out though and i have't seen hands-on details either.

The only "BIG MMO" that I see coming in the next a few years is definitely Blizzard's Titan.

I think that we will see something that has not been seen before in the MMO industry. I expect a revolutionary product that will dictate the trends in the industry for next decade just like WoW did. They say they expect its lifecycle to be like two decades. I doubt they would say something like this if they had a product similar to MMOs that have been released in the last several years in their hands. They have to have something special.

However, the game has not been announced yet, so that I can only speculate.

My number one game at the moment is ArcheAge. It is not only the sandbox elements that are appealing to me. I really like the skill and gear systems in this game.

I am looking forward to hearing more about WildStar and ya Neverwinter sounds awesome.

i too was really excited for Wildstar but the new combat telegraphing system destroyed all of my enthusiasm. its the lamest more ridiculous and gimmicky system i;ve ever seen yet. the combat system was starting to look really interesting and fun.. but this just trivializes all of that. total bummer

Lol how can you make that assumption about a product that has released 0 information about itself?

Neverwinter is coming...

But also Planetside 2!

Ya sadly i await to play Archeage but  i definitely cannot promise too much different .I could promise however a more organized game design  than all the sloppy stuff i have seen thrown together by other devs.

My biggest problem and it seems to be noticeable  in ALL games is mixing pvp with pve,it simple does not work.I think that is why i enjoyed FFXI the best becuase the entire game design was structured and organized around PVE.That way you don't worry about having to balance each individual,you just make a game that works in a group [MMO] experience.FFXI has since turned it's design to be more like other games and it shows really badly how poor that decision was.

Besides the pvp/pve mix in Archeage ,it has one other really big flaw that i hate in games.The class design will be limited ,sort of like Gw2 and other games.this means you have to make a choice on your selections,i simply do not like that.Once again i was spoiled by FFXI where on one single player you could learn every class/ability/spell in the game.Yes it had restriction in that you had to choose a class to play but at least all options were available to you.

I think if Archeage can keep the PVP a side show from PVE it might be an interesting stay.People will enjoy exploring and jumping off mountains with a hand glider.They will enjoy riding around in their ship/boat they made.They might enjoy their house and garden,it will just give players a little more interaction than the usual follow the leader linear content.

SWTOR and GW2 felt too much like more of the same to me, still grinding on mobs and doing battlegrounds. I don't like Planetside 2, just feels really poor as a shooter and nothing like Planetside, no surprise really as it is SOE.

Just can't see anything else right now....

just want that innovative genre defining title that we haven't had for 7 years, bored of the same old crap.

Whatever the next expansion of "Bitch Like Hell on the Forums That Todays MMOs Suck Online" is called. I for one NEVER get tired of playing that game.

There's nothing that radically different on the horizon, unfortunately.

Excuse me,nothing on the horizon because I would define an horizon in Mo terms as a year at least so did u actually mean now or 2013/14,because come then we have a virtual golden age of Mo's to chose from

Pathfinder,Embers,Archeage,Defience,Orgins of Mulu,FTL,War Z,Miner wars,WOD, and that Titan thingie and that's just of the top of my head.

Repop will be massive as well,and even browser games like project Theralon look pretty cool as well and by different what else do you need plenty of variety there and also other stuff  I can't even talk about  as well.

If the foundry content creator in Neverwinter is good, then Neverwinter could be the next big thing. It all depends on how good the Foundry is though. Doesn't look as good a single player game editor like in NW1 (who expects it to be?) but it looks promising to me.

Judge for yourself, first part:

second part:

If they do pull it off.. we'll basicaly have an MMO with unlimited content. I'd class unlimited content as something different. If the editor is especially good then the sky's the limit in terms of content variety and storytelling. Would be no need for endgame concerns when potentially hundreds or even thousands of new quests/dungeons appear every day thanks to other players.

Yes it has some promise,at least worth a look see or a wait and see,i know i will be checking it out.

Embers of Careus? Repopulation? Pathfinder online? Possibly even Darkfall 2.

I for one am quite excited for the sandbox future.
