Huxley's back! You know, Huxley ... that MMOFPS?

The Xbox 360 version of Huxley will also be different from what PC players experience. Beyond the obvious changes in interface, the PC version will focus on a story about the missing Dr. Huxley, while the console story will take place 50 years later and center around a terrorist group. Despite the different times, there will be "cross-platform interaction" according to the developer. As for the pricing structure of the MMOFPS? That still hasn't been determined. Expect the Huxley info to slowly drip from here on in.

Having different stories on the PC and consoles could be cool ss long as one of the versions don't completely suck.

I honestly thought this game was dead in the water. It seems like a cool idea for a game though so i'll at least give it a try.

They probably shouldn't have announced it so early. Since its an MMO it will automatically take a LOOONG time.
RDX @ Mar 5th 2008 6:52PM
Good point. Announcing a game too early is practically begging for skepticism.

Cross-platform interaction?!? But I don't want to play with Delta children. And don't get me started on Epsilons. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly colour.
I'm so glad I'm a Beta.

Everybody's happy nowadays.

Pish, you silly Betas. I'm an Alpha Plus.
It sure is nice being an Alpha.
umm....hello??? @ Mar 5th 2008 7:02PM
an MMO?? as in pay-monthly-subscription in addition to the $50 XBL fee?? fuck that. the game looks really great and I have high hopes for it, but unless it ditches the subscription fee that is apparent for just about every MMO out there, count me out.

**Not all MMOs are subscription based... Guild Wars for one.

It would be cool if there was some sort of time travel storyline in the game so that what happens in the PC version would affect elements on the console version and vice versa. Like, if the terrorists in the console version abducted Huxley from the past and that is why he is missing on the PC version or something like that. Then the interaction can happen when you either travel forward or backward in time.

No single player-go back underground! Before you do that, however, you may kiss my rosy red ass.
Rollins @ Mar 5th 2008 8:40PM
So I'm guessing that, according to you, WoW can go back underground?
Huxley is an MMO. Of course it doesn't have single player.

Just so you know, Joystiq, my comment you deleted was a joke.
fester @ Mar 5th 2008 9:37PM
Nope. You are talking apples/oranges. If my PC had more horses, I'd be in with the 600 gazillion others playing WOW in a sec-love it!! Specifically, what I'm saying is to invest 1/2 the G.N.P. of some countries into such a beautiful awesome game such as Huxley and not even include a semblance of a single player mode [even popping balloons or blowing up monkeys with RPG's] is purely asinine as well as plain stupid.

What exactly are you trying to say? Its an MMO, Massively Multiplayer Online. There is no single-player.
If you are talking about playing solo in that MMO universe, that is something else entirely and not single-player.

Umm, this is kind of old news. Games for Windows had a big piece on this two months ago, new art, interview with the devs, etc. etc.

For a minute I thought Aldous Huxley had come back from the dead...

Pray that he doesnt! Oh christ zombie Orwell... Zombie Philip K. Dick it never ends when scifi zombies arise!

This was cool for 360 fans to tout as the next big thing back in 2005, but at this point after seeing video clips and whatnot, it looks pretty horrid.
Brian Jarrett @ Mar 6th 2008 10:46AM
Hahaha too funny. What makes it better during their ingame demo they touted it kicking ass that same year on shelves... 3 years later it returns! hahahaha they must have rebuilt the damn game.

Hello all, well Huxley has come back alive so much so I have decided to trash my Huxley Blog and start a new Huxley Fan site which can be found here http://www.huxleygame.co.uk .
The game now looks awesome with all the ingame movies and pretty screenshots around!
Cheers all
