Huxley is still alive! Screenshots, video and more
10
For those of you who (including us) who questioned whether Webzen would ever release their MMOFPS Huxley or if it'd be forgotten vaporware know that it's real, it's alive and it's coming. Who knew?
IGN posted their in-depth Huxley Progress Report which features a bunch of new screenshots, some new video footage and interesting Huxley factoids. Webzen is promising a lot, allowing 5000 players being able to interact at once, intense 100 versus 100 battles on each server, Unreal Tournament style gameplay and a substantial MMO following. They also dropped a nega-bomb confirming that Huxley will release to the Xbox 360 6 months after its PC debut which means no MMOFPS for 360 fanboys until at least 2009. But things aren't all that bad for 360 owners as the 360 version of Huxley will take place in a different world / time and allow for cross platform battling and trading of items. It's good to hear that Huxley hasn't turned into a Duke Nukem Forever, but the overly long development time sort of killed a lot of the game's hype. Here's to seeing Huxley by 2011.

Oh man, I remember the last MMOFPS I played. I have to say that this looks completely uninteresting.

Well it looks better than the footage I saw a few months back. The framerate was godawful and the characters scale was totally off from the surrounding terrain. Having said that it still doesn't look as interesting as it seemed back when it was announced around the 360s launch. I'm guessing it will be Unreal Turnament with a coffee shop you can hang out in and chat?

Man, I read this headline and thought it was baout Huxley from Call of Duty 3. First, I didn't think that Huxley even died (although he never wore his helmet), but then I thought maybe he did and this was info about a return to WWII announcement for Call of Duty 5. Don't get me excited like that.
