Though I think I rather have a game like Elder Scrolls or even Mass Effect using the Warhammer IP. A setting like on the books about Eisenhorn/Ravenor or Gaunt's Ghosts would be a dream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-63400926066719699752012-03-15T03:19:39.917+00:002012-03-15T03:19:39.917+00:00Necromunda in MMO form looks like a bunch of other...Necromunda in MMO form looks like a bunch of other MMOs in development under the radar and going nowhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-70674816439658105602012-03-13T21:58:16.512+00:002012-03-13T21:58:16.512+00:00The main reason why I stayed away from SWTOR was l...The main reason why I stayed away from SWTOR was light sabre fatigue. In the first star wars movie we hardly see light sabres, whilst the prequels were drowning in endless light sabres. This is because in the first movie a light sabre was a sacred weapon used for cauterizing evil in the prequels they are tool for shifting merchandise.<br /><br />If someone said I am making a 40K game without "spesh mareens" people would instantly react and say "your an idiot". So we get the current generation of MMO's where people play Jedi's and Space Marines. I think this is a fundamental mistake, when you play you dont become the hero - you already are the hero! Your character is one of eight billion snowfake heroes out there.<br /><br />I think in the short term MMOs will not make the impact they should do. I dont think SWTOR will last as long as you might think. I also suspect DMO will not do so well either. I think though in the long term though MMOs focused more on the world itself and you just being a bit part will start to emerge (I have the feeling secret world will be a step towards this.<br /><br />Besides every MMO in the last few years has been missing its socializer group of players. They are all playing the biggest MMO of them all...

If you stray too far into the wrong part of the hive you have to deal with the local gang. Break the law and the Adeptus Arbites come a calling. Need extra credits, take on a risky job offered by that sleazy Genestealer Cult in Subquad VII.<br /><br />Throw in RPG elements, limitless customization, different classes, and a sandbox style with varieties of missions and tons of stuff to do ... I could waste 100+ hours in there easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-75524441206192951362012-03-13T08:24:34.874+00:002012-03-13T08:24:34.874+00:00You hit the nail with you view of a "prefect&...You hit the nail with you view of a "prefect" MMO. I would very much play it and it would be fun. NPC that actually have lives, several factions, a deep level of stories and atmosphore.<br /><br />I actually think that game studios are in many ways cowards as they donĀ“t want to stick out, instead taking the safe way. In that way the die slow but they do die. If they took the chance of doing something diffrent, that could be stardom! <br /><br />/UlfastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-10454753170480664832012-03-13T01:42:21.210+00:002012-03-13T01:42:21.210+00:00You've touched on a lot of truth in this post....You've touched on a lot of truth in this post. Especially how games need to make better use of NPCs and how everyone needs to stop being the hero all the time. One of the things that turned me off to RIFT was how everyone was the prophesied time traveling zombie messiah or whatever. <br /><br />The Black Crusade setting sounds a like like Necromunda, scraping to survive with your one path to power also risking permanent soulless mutation. It would be a ridiculously fun setting to play an MMO in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-24690872198398622002012-03-12T21:31:44.021+00:002012-03-12T21:31:44.021+00:00Brilliant idea
