..Oh ya, thats true. Bioware ftw.
Anyone knows what happened to the devs who worked in Black Isle Studio? Small division under Bioware umbrella, who was rivaling Blizzards Diablo serie and frankly blew it away in terms of quality ( Baldurs Gate, Fallout and the gem of truly rpg art; Planescape Torment). Get those dev`s together plz, so they can make a Planescape MMO.
I actually think i will step off The MMorpg train, and cruise abit in a smart little MiMorpg. Mini multiplayer online role playing game(!!). Or in other words; i think im going to play Diablo 3.
I miss the old isometrich view. Most of the 3d mmo`s just dosnt tickle my dream away parts. They are like crappy, uninspiring IRL simulations. Isometrich 2d games are like fine toys. They leave abit to the imagination. And they focus more on gameplay, then game engine. And are better at creating atsmopheres. Like kids who enjoy playing with small toycars more then sitting in those noisy, Police cars with nauseating movements, toystores placed at theier fronts. Short version; im abit tired of beeing forced into a 3d world, mainly created by geeks.
But if i had to estimate....
1.Wow will climb to 14-15 mill
2.Warhammer will have around 6-700k -they will prolly have to much blizz competetion.
3. Aion can end anywhere between 150k and 2mill sub`s
4. Star gate World. Prolly like Tabula rasa when it was on its highest ( at launch?)
5. Chronicle. I think this game will end up with a small but tight and fanatic community.
6. Aoc will float away with very low subs for a periode. After a year it might become popular again; when ppl have forgot most of the troubles they had...
7. Huxley will reveal itself as a shooter.
8. No idea where Darkfall is..
9. Earthrise. Seems like the game lack like 95% production time, However if they nail that Fallout feel; count me in...
Cancelling because the games rpg part is boring. Theres not enough carrots to make the 1-80 interesting. For example, you have to grind 10 levels before you get a upgrade to the offensive spells. Features does very little for your skills, sometimes you wonder if they even works and sometimes they actually dont. Ive tryed different builds with my characters simply to get some flavour to the gameplay and the difference is often unnoticeable.
Then you might be able to boost your character with new shiny gear? Not really, AoC itemsation is going from nonexistent, slowly into something wich can enhance your character 1-2% at most. Save up and buy that shiny epic weapon? Why ? -when your combos is the same w/e using a lvl 1 white weapon or a 150dps epic. Only blunt, pierce and slashing(aka white dmg) get a boost with better weps.
The best part of RPG games is when your character becomes stronger and the more ways you can work on your toon, the stronger will you connect with it. In Aoc i dosnt really care much for my toons, sadly but true...
It does more and more look like simple inkompetence. FC simple dosnt have the staff for this task and should start a firing/hiring round tbh.
They shipped a uncomplete game and almost every patch so far have fixed one problem and created 2 new; both in code and gameplay. Cant help getting more and more respect for the mmo games out there which actually function and improves. When looking at AoC, a so called next gen mmo, it seems to be a difficult task.
If Warhammer or any other decent new MMO was released this month, it would be a disaster for AOC subs. Ppl are struggling with a degenerating game ( the game becomes less and less complete the more it gets patched) cause of two things; the social aspect ( still life on the servers) and no competetion.
Im guessing release early 2009. The gameplay looks completely finished, the amount of it is the question really. On the officiel site there is Concept art dated 2004, and most of them around 2006; so the game have allready been in the works - more or less, for 4 years.
I think its the game i would choose to betatest if i could pick one out of all wip games. More then Wotlk, Warhammer, Aion, and even Fallout ...
Do you currently play a SOE published game?
