Darkfall vs Huxley in the MMO RPG/FPS bracket

Earthpaw

PVP-ERS.

Which game are you more hyped about? I'm really tossed up between some games. Darkfall has looting of player bodies, play run towns and the classic hack and slash style- however Huxley has eye-popping graphics, sweet vehicles and takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Both games are MMO FPS/RPG. I think Huxley may be the new Neocron and Darkfall may be the new UO.

Which are you more hyped out about (if at all)?

huxley if im not mistaken will be more like the new planetscape than anything else, except i heard it had instancing.  huxley is fps first, rpg 2nd, and offers instant fun whenever/wherever

darkfall is more the traditional rpg, you skill up and what not.  darkfall is rpg 1st, fps 2nd, and offers much more depth but will require more time in order to accomplish things.

if you really look at them though they are completely different games.  darkfall has kingdom building/sieging based mostly on clan vs. clan warfare over resources, strategical positions, and economic hot spots. and while i dont know much about huxley, i know there isnt gonna be the amount of character customization/development, crafting, or kingdom building/crafting darkfall will have. and im also sure darkfall wont have the constant fast-paced pvp action, graphics (already obvious), or instant satisfaction value that huxley will have.

also the settings are completely different. 

lol i dont think anyone should choose between these 2 games, just play both haha.

but yea roma victor/the chronicle/darkfall are more comparable than huxley/darkfall.

True that, roma victor does look really similar to Darkfall. I haven't heard about the Chronicle though.

Yeah just to clear some things up on Huxley. There will be emphasis on developing your character but you are right that it's fps first and rpg second. The upgrades will be things like new weapons/armor. There will be instanced pvp but it sounds like they will have open out-door pvp as well. There's a level cap of 50 in huxley.

Okay but while the two games are very different from eachother, they are both still MMO FPS/RPG or MMO RPG/FPS<- whichever way you want to put it. Now what I want to know, is what are people more hyped about, the fps with rpg elements, or the rpg with fps elements? These two games provide a good example of either side of this spectrum.

Not only do these two games represent different areas of the [rpg-fps] spectrum, one is post apocalyptic settings, while the other is medieval. Yes they are very different- but at the same time they are both mmo rpg/fps games.

Im more hyped about Huxley mainly due to the fact that Darkfall was suppose to come out years ago and still hasnt even hit closed beta.... Huxley will also allow PCers to fight agianst Xbox users.. Hahaha cant wait.
