it looks identical or better than the 360 version (looks arent everything, gameplay could also be scaled back for 360 version) ..but wont be able to really tell till both versions are released

didnt know Unreal3 could power a MMO

[Reginald]

Looks really good... but as with most games in this day and age, it's more gameplay as graphics fail to impress after the first few times you see them.

And don't forget, no one thought Source could do an MMO either but Twilight War is hopefully proving us wrong.

[VictimOfScience]

As good as it looks, I am just not seeing any point of difference in Huxley. These sci-fi shooters are all starting to blend together for me. It just doesn't look like it would keep my interest from what I have seen. I'd love a free trial or something to prove me wrong, but so far, it just seems meh to me.

[Axyon]

Streamable environments pretty much makes UE3 perfect for MMOs.

[CrazyHarij]

really raising the bar for men and women's equality there..

[Fishlore]

I don't know much about the game, but the setting looks ridiculous to me. My intrest level is.... oh about zero.

Noooooooooooo! You beat me in saying that. :(

sci-fi shooters? it's a MMO ..planetside is it's only real competitor ..the fact that you'll be able to play with hundreds of other people should make this very interesting ...or no at all if balance issues havent been worked out properly ..this game has the potential of being a huge hit or a huge miss. Imagine WoW addictiveness mixed with a fps.

if what you meant was in the artistic design then I agree ..a lot of these sci-fi games look alike but that's because of the current trend in illustration/artwork. It takes an especially talented artist to pull off something like WoW (low detail, highly expresive characters) ...any artist can throw detail into a concept to make it look good, it's an old illustrators trick

I like this picture:

[Gorgon]

its amazing yes,

still I need to know how much per month its going to cost ? and is it worth it?

[Ravioli]

looks good, but one thing that stands out clearly is that the Unreal3 engine cant handle Antilasing that good :/

[The Brick]

It looks amazing, I hope this one will be good. If so, it's gonna be my first MMO :)


EDIT: Wow (no pun intended) the trailer is awesome :D http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d14846.htm

Seems like these guys are really into gigantic chain guns!

I think this game has some goofy art elements in it. I'm more interested in believable futuristic things, but if it's fun then thats all that really matters.

Seems like in the future, they wouldn't be all standing in a circle like that, close range, firing conventional machine guns at each other.

Many people are saying this game is going to be great, but I reserve judgement of how great it is until I've tried it.

Good God, the woman in the first picture just has a couple strips of armor covering her!

How in Christ's name can that be good for battle? :|

QFT, looks pretty unoriginal(artistically). Very meh, not interested much at all.

[Asuka]

Looking good and fun. Dunno so much to get so much to play....Ugh...

Men are less likely to attack her?

It is partly what I meant. The whole visual style is so trite to me that it is going to take a hell of a kick-ass gameplay dynamic to make me want to intially invest in this and then further invest a certain amount a month to play it. E3 will help explain a lot of these unknowns I hope....

Men won't attack her, but if she's fighting a girl, the armor is there so she won't get bitten in the tits.

[Sainku]

I was intrested, but the style just looks stupid to me. Don't care to much anymore.

[Reginald]

the armor is there so she won't get bitten in the tits.

Shame. :(

[dekstar]

Just about to say the same thing. Those guys are wearing like 3ft of armour, and the woman is wearing enough to get owned by a stray feather.

Not the best way to make a game :\

[CptStern]

well to be fair, it's korean developers making a game for western audiences


western media has always protrayed women in sci-fi the same

because sci-fi/fantasy appeals to teenage boys

[Asuka]

I think she looks HOT! :o Leave it be...

Not all sci-fi, not even the majority. Its not just the west who does it either either,

[CptStern]

not all sci-fi but definately the majority of sci-fi in visual form ..from Barbarella (http://www.indepundit.com/archive2/barbarella.jpg) to Star Trek enterprise (http://www.firsttvdrama.com/enterprise/images/tpol5.jpg)

and no it's not just the west ..however the west is unique in that it likes tough women with big guns whereas japan likes feminine or even girlish women with weapons

[CookieCuttah]

It seems anything aimed at males has chicks with almost no clothes, but I don't really care that much. It's rarely an eye sore, so I don't complain.

[Ren.182]

I think she looks HOT! :o Leave it be...

I think she looks like a man... :rolleyes:

The only thing that intrests me about this is the fact that there will be 100's of people online in a shooter. Doubt i'll get into this at all.

[Pesmerga]

Don't be fooled by the graphics, the gameplay is going to stink. I saw the video, and the guy talking sounded like he had written everything that was good at WoW in a notepad file, and then repeated them.
