There is a good chance since ijji.com doesnt have any p2p games and it will be on xbox360 also.

Being f2p does not make a game bad, look at guild wars.

Only the single player will be Free to Play. The online part will be a Micro payment system if I remember right.

if you think guild wars is good and free you are way off.

all the expansions arent free. and gameplay is awefull

 

Lineage2 has expansions every few months and those are "free"

I meant quality wise....Also you arent forced to buy expansion right?

Anyways i just threw that out as an example since its free and high quality, Americas army is another one cept it isnt a mmo, battlefield heroes then or hellgate? Everyones opinion of "good gameplay" is different personally youd have to pay me to grind in l2. ( I do like the castle seige idea and pvp aspect though, but its not worth the grind go l2walker!)


All p2p games should give free expansions, or lower the monthly price since the game would be old by then.

I don't know...i would say that Requiem is a VERY good F2P game, i mean sure, it stole from WoW-s mechanics with tons, but wich new MMO doesn't... (and for a lot of people stealing from WoW isn't necesarily a bad thing, it's way better than the ordinary Korean clickfes grinder like Silkroad for example) Maybe Huxley will be a good F2P too, who knows?  I personally hope so, although it will be better if it's P2P cuz than you don't have to buy stuff from malls, pay for expirience boosts and stuff like that that just ruins the immersion.

Well theres alot of different of revenue models, but you'd have to buy alot of micro transactions or expansions to match the $180 a year in subscription, and some still charge for the game and expansions.

The thing I actually like about non subscription games is, that im not locked down. I go play "gunz" , "combat arms", "soldier front", "fear", "americas army", with anyone i know at any time. I dont have to convince them to buy the game or to sub up. I know that none are true mmo's, but give it time they will come. I think endless ages is the only true persistant world mmofps that is f2p.

I will probably buy huxley no matter what, but it would be alot easier to get all my friends to play if there is no subscription.

I''m not a troll, I''m an Ogre!

Ogres like trolls, Me thinks dey taste great BBQ''ed!

Try Sword of the new world, it's in the game list, it's free to play, Prefect world is also a F2P, nice graphic's, up to you really to go thru the game list, theres quite a few to chose from.

Really those F2P have nothing to compare with the Huxley graphics, you can't be honest if you say so  

Thus Huxley is made with the unreal engine 3 and I know no game which is free using such a good engine.

There is no point to think it will be free :  it will not because of financial purposes. Look at the developpment : real groups for real music (no electronic), real 3D mapping with real architectural buildings as pattern, next gen Directx10 effects and so on...

This game will definetely not be free, I can bet with anyone  

 

Playin' at : Crysis warhead, COH-OF

Waitin' for : Huxley, warhammer 40k : ultima segmentum

Sorry posted in the wrong thread, thought he was the one who was looking for free games to play.
 

Yes the unreal engine is a nice game engine, but to say that there are no other games using it, the game called Fury uses the engine and it is free, I also find that while Unreal makes for great single player games, when it comes to MMORPG type games, where you have to share the game with hundreds of other players who are online with you, usually have to turn the nice and pretty graphics off and run at bare minimum, just to have a fairly smooth running game, at least this is what I found when playing Fury, Who knows maybe Huxley will surpass all other games and have lag free.

Unless you have proof that it will be a pay to play only, then there is a very real chance that it could also be free to play or free to play with micro transactions for better gear or even new area's, I believe someone else has already stated this in this thread.

"you can't be honest if you say so"  I can say so and I can be honest at the same time, I don't think that you can be honest and speak about Huxley without being basis against other games.

Just my honest opinions.

Guild wars gameplay is aweful? We really hear too much crap on these forums, really amazing.

This game could very well be f2p with a shop that has different weps, skins accesories...

As long as the shop doesnt have any items that are reall essential like xp gain boosters and stuff.
