SUN Online

blackraist

Hi Everybody,

  Who among you did notice SUN?  I think this will be a great game but I'd like to have your input on PC/Console games.  How did it go with Final Fantasy Online?  Does it give rounded down games or can we hope for a great game.

  Also it looks like it will be "Asian" a lot.  I'm a fan of manga-like concepts, but how does it go in online games?

  Just want to have inputs to help me make my mind.

Thanks a lot.

stay far far away from asian type games is the general attitude here.

Cleffy

Not me  We need some more Korean Game Coverage.  It's too bad Gravity isn't at e3 this year or else you can all experience the breathtaking environments of it and here about its complex job system and leveling weapons.

Also I want some more info on Huxley, SUN, and Granado Espada.

Fireburst

I also think there are some great games that have come out of Korea.

ill tell ya .. what i DID notice ... its amazing graphics .. i mean amazing ...

and it was definitely a game i looked into and was salivating over ( MY four prospects were vanguard ( decided agaisnt it cuz of SOE),  D&D ( which looked awesome to me,  i didnt mind no-pvp, but decided to wait to see how it was recieved and im glad i did cuz i hear it sucks so i scratched that off my list ) .. WARHAMMER ( which im anticipating as being the next best thing but im worried about its community ( i dont like "leeter's and trash talking kiddies they get on my nerves ) ..

and of source SUN ... which to be honest .. in my opinion .. is the most BEAUTIFUL out of all of my prospects .. the thing im worried about is .. i hear its mainly being marketed for asians .. and im not sure if id feel comfortable in that community ( not because i dislike any type of people ... just not sure how language barriers will be .. and personality and styles ... i dont even seem to groove with europeans, as i was in a euro guild in eq2 and i think i was too... emotional and egotisitical for them lol )

It's likely that we will get a us/euro version in English. Korea, China and the Philippines will get there own versions.

true ... i keep thinking of phanatasy star online where you could wander into the japanese and korean servers and they wandered into ours ... which now that i think of it was actually fun ...

but would the market in the US be adequate enough to get a strong US community growing?

to tell the truth now that im thinking about it .. maybe it would be COOLER to have the asian european and US markets collide by giving them ability to play on each others servers ( if this was technically viable ) as i stated above i know on a smaller game ( PSO ) is happened...and also in UO

maybe it would be fun .. and bring a new dimension to MMORPG's ... the prospect of meeting people from a different culture and such ... enjoying the same game .. finding solutions to problems in game in their owns ways, their own humor ect ... maybe this could pose to be the one redeeming social factor, or asset to mmorpg's ,, a positive side to them .. as opposed to the addictive qualities and locking yourself up in your house to play .. ect..

from what ive heard, this is a channel based game.... this scares me because im not big on channel games, and huxley is made by the same creator ....... i hope huxley wont be channel bases.

P.S. Channel Base=Diablo

dwarflordking

hmm maybe channel base wont be a bad idea... it would take out the problem in guildwars where u have to freakin be in a party to actually go monster hunting.. maybe they should make a village and when u go to instanced area u choose what channel u want to be in and u see how many people are in there and just join the fun diablo style.. i like this idea starting to get excited about SUN..

this gives a more open game where u see strangers lvling or questing and can talk to strangers on the battle field.. unlike guildwars.... maybe max people on a channel would be 30?

Been following this game for a while now (webzen.com) and I think it looks great. But, again, looks can be deceiveing. Yes, it is asian based but if they put it out right, it won't make difference, so I doubt language barriers will be an issue. Besides killing is killing....In any language. Heh.

blackraist

Thanks guys!  Now I really wish they market the game in a good way so we won't be alone in there.  It would be sad if a good looking game like that pass under the rug!

Agreed. The asian market tends to be on top as far as marketing in their country so maybe it will carry over to the U.S.. In the meantime, I am going to keep on watching out for more info. on the game.
