Huxley returns from the abyss with video

by Justin McElroy on Dec 17th 2007 3:40PM

We hope this doesn't make us negative people, but we had basically written MMOFPS Huxley off after not hearing much about it for more than a year. Now though, it's made its (semi) triumphant return from the grave with a new video captured in the Korean-developed game's closed beta accompanied by a truly, almost epically excruciating techno soundtrack.

What we see so far is a pretty, frenetic shooter in the vein of a Painkiller or Unreal, that seems just a tad bit uninspired. That said, we don't know how the MMO elements are playing into it, as what we have here is straight-up action. What say you? Has your interest been piqued? Or have the last, dying embers of your desire for Huxley been fully doused?

OMFG look! Its a game, with shooting people, and grenades, and stuff. Oh neato!

Why is this even a MMO? It looks like any other twitch FPS. Pass.

You guys are all idiots, either that or you cant read Korean... Either way its clearly a fan-made video. Its not the music of the actual speed of the game. You can even tell because the sound effects are quick and high pitched, which happens when you increase the tempo. Anyway its looks as if it will play pretty much in the same vein as Gunz: International which ironically is also a korean game. The Gunz gameplay is actually pretty exciting and works VERY well so I'd be surprised if this didnt play as well if not better. Please everyone including the original blogger go learn a thing or two about advances in MMOs and the current offerings... and some Korean couldnt hurt either...

I'm sorry, but my Korean is a bit dusty. Honestly I blame the substandard U.S. public education system, which seems to think that Spanish and French are somehow more pertinent to our daily lives than learning the Korean characters that litter our literature and English pop culture.

bandit,

first, Gunz is a TPS, not an FPS

second, the player interface and the gameplay suck, I loved the idea behind the game, but the game itself sucked...

on top of that, the servers lag way too much (no, not my connection), there are way too many bugs, and well, it isn't that fun when people take advantage of the bugs, like the sword/knife dashing bug? or the one in which you unlimited charged sword blows?

I would use Gunz to say that a game its good, awful graphics, awful gameplay, and awful amount of bugs don't really make a game good...right?
