Star Trek Alien Combat Series
The MMO Console Are Coming â € "Part Two
In Part 1 of this article, we discussed Star Trek Online, the agency and Age of Conan, three MMO probably destined for either the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or both at some point in the future.
This week we look at some games more striking is almost certain consoles in one year, and the way we talk about what makes each of these games a good fit for the platforms they will come.
Free Realms:
Developer: Sony Online Entertainment
Release date: 2010
What it? There is a new wave of massively multiplayer online games, a Mars apparently inexorably towards free to play model.
It is a system that has enjoyed great success in Korea and eastern MMO in general, has not really been embraced and exploited West. Sony Online Entertainment is leading a vigorous push to change this mindset and bring players into quality games West Play a free model.
For years, the ongoing pattern of pay to play monthly fee has not gone unchallenged. Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest II, World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, all these games and many others have been conducted successfully on this model. But is it sustainable in the long term?
There are two arguments running against pay for play model. The first is that the market can support a finite number of these kinds of games. Players only have so much disposable income to burn on their hobby, and an average price of $ 14.99 USD per month, most players can not really justify paying for one or two subscriptions at any given time.
One side positive in this environment is that it creates competition, and any MMO charge a monthly must reach a certain level if it wants to survive. The disadvantage As I mentioned, is that this means that players enjoy a smaller pool of games to choose from publishers are less willing to risk crashing and burning of dramatically Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa.
The second argument cons pay to play games, especially on consoles is that console gamers are simply not conditioned to pay a monthly fee play games, some might say they will never be. It is simply a concept that is foreign to them.
Enter Strategy New MMO from Sony Online Entertainment, which involves a lineup of high quality free games, starting with Free Realms.
For a time when most players heard the expression â € œfree in Playa € is more than likely conjured up images of dark, poorly localized efforts Korean built around an actual gameplay less constructive and more around an eternal process of grinding and game options limited which requires you to buy items on the main game experience. Not anymore.
Free Realms has been specially built from the outset to be accessible to gamers of all ages, and be a quality experience that makes a first impression positive.
In terms of pure polish, the game rivals many of his contemporaries to pay to play and probably most of the bests.
Another thing that makes Free Realms that such an example for the free play model is that, unlike most games that have the same style, you're never have to buy anything to enjoy the basic game. Any expenses that you are incidental and will only add to the experience.
Chances of it happening: less than a sudden failure and significant in the model of Free Realms Affairs, that's a lock absolute and final. Although SOE seems to be taking their time porting Realms Free PlayStation 3, expected that it has struck some time in mid to late 2010, when it is conceivable that the console would have benefited from another price reduction, making it a more viable offering for family audiences Free Realms has proved so attractive to them.
DC Universe Online:
Developer: Sony Online Entertainment
Release date: 2010
What's this? By all accounts the Xbox 360 should already home to an MMO superhero in the form of Marvel Universe Online, a game that is developing Cryptic Studios (developer of Champions Online, City of Heroes / Villains, and Star Trek Online) before Microsoft quietly discontinued production and killed the project.
Meanwhile, Sony Online Entertainment has been working quietly on their own MMO superhero, using rival Comic Book Publisher € ™ s license, DC Comics.
Despite finding first a little rough around the edges, the latest hands on previews and screenings at recent trade shows have indicated that DC Universe Online is coming together very well.
You will not be able to choose a Batman or Superman, but you'll be able to create your own superhero and inhabit the same world as the wonder and blue Caped Crusader, fighting alongside them to maintain security in the streets. So far we have seen screen shots and images Metropolis location of the game, but the concept art seen above indicates that areas such as Gotham City (including The Batcave and Arkham Asylum) is available for players to explore.
The CC is potentially very lucrative, and SOEs seem determined not to let things slip through their fingers like it could be argued that happened with Star Wars Galaxies. They therefore we work with the best talent in the comic book industry, including veterans of the design imprint Wildstorm DC, led by comic legend Jim Lee (aboard as Executive Creative Director), and writers Geoff John's and Marv Wolfman, Justice Society of America, and Crisis on Infinite Earth's fame.
In terms of minutes of gameplay minute wait for something in the vein of a prototype, infamous, or The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, with an emphasis on fast paced action and the passage of the environment quickly, including theft, super speed, etc.
Special moves and attacks will be mapped on the actual button presses as in games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends, rather than fighting against the queues seen in games like World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online, leading to a more action oriented, competence based on experience. However, the game will not release the RPG conventions entirely, because there will leveling and inventory management systems.
Sony Online Entertainment have also been smart enough to suggest that the model monthly subscription fee for a will not be using for DCUO, and given the game console ambitions, it seems a wise choice.
The chances of this happening: Like other SOE MMO development of PlayStation 3, even more so given the objective of the console Demography He is also a lock. DC Universe Online seems almost designed for consoles, with its action-RPG gameplay and popular esque license. All indicators point to an output 2010.
Final Fantasy XIV:
Developer: Square Enix
Release date: 2010
What Is it? The Final Fantasy series really needs little introduction. SIDS, Chocobo's, Moogles, limit breaks, summons, we are familiar agreements with all series. That said, Final Fantasy XIV is quite another.
In May 2002, Square Enix introduced Final Fantasy XI on PlayStation 2 and PC in Japan, a statement of the North America will follow two years later and two years later, in 2006, the Final Fantasy series come to an Xbox platform for the first time when the MMO made its way Microsoft's Xbox 360.
Despite achieving a modest level of success, particularly in Japan where they are the countries most played massively multiplayer online, it is probably fair to say Final Fantasy XI never really felt that many had hoped, as the UN-Final Fantasy-like look and the gameplay solo brutal off many Fans long ago.
Seven years after its initial release, and Square Enix is ready to do everything again, as he prepares to release only its second MMO, Final Fantasy XIV.
Although it may look like the surface, Square Enix seems to be wringing the changes, with a host of the revamped system designed to make the game easier for new players to enter, and also doing solo quests much more enjoyable for those interested.
There are also redesigned jobs and combat systems to keep things fresh and usually Developers seem to have focused attention on progress in the genre over the past five years.
At E3 This year, Sony, Jack Tretton has a big problem for Final Fantasy XIV and its exclusivity on the PlayStation 3, the words that have been some consideration since it was revealed that no exclusivity agreement exists, and that the main stumbling block prevention of an Xbox 360 is output in the form of policies Xbox Live at Microsoft.
One can not help thinking that Final Fantasy XIV 's best chance of success exists on consoles as she enjoys a dedicated following on the PC market, it is quite crowded with the likes of World of Warcraft, Age of Conan et al vying for attention. The console battlefield in comparison, is much less cluttered.
Chances of that happening: Final Fantasy is just too big a number to be limited the computer, the PlayStation 3 is a given. The game will make the Xbox 360? If Microsoft is truly serious about challenging the PlayStation 3 in Japan this could be considered a prerequisite if they will be willing to relax their strict policies Xbox Live as they did when they made an exception for Final Fantasy XI on the console remains to be seen.
