hehe Exactly. Why play graphical3D games and complain about an old computer?! If your system is more than 2-3 years old then it's time for a new one. If your computer is low end and has a 3D graphics card that is more than a year old...again, what are you really expecting out of it? Part of an immersive (and thus good) game, for me, is the graphical realism and beauty.
I know people have fun playing MUDs, 2D games, etc. but when it comes to the new 3D games...why complain that you can't run it? Have fun playing what you can or upgrade and have fun playing the newer generation of games.
In an ideal world, a game would be released with settings to bring the best hardware to it's knees all the way down to settings that could be run on a Pentium 133. But considering game development companies need to release a product in reasonable time and make money, I guess that is out of the question. It's probably a terrible idea anyway, since the client would basically be a different version of the game. Instead of people getting mad saying: "My computer can't run this game!!" it would be: "My game looks like Diablo 2 but his looks like Unreal Tournament 2007, he has a huge advantage!!".

It's an MMOFPS, what more are you expecting?
A world to explore, instances to run with my team, character customisation, storyline, a theme, professions. Some imaginative monsters wouldn't go amiss. The graphics capablilities and the generic Unreal AI allow for some pretty intresting possibilities. The Unreal engine is extremely flexible and well developed, there are thousand of games made using it on any number of platforms providing any number of gameplay styles.
How tiresome would it be if it just turned out to be Unreal Tournament with a levelling system?
I think Huxley could very well shape into what Planetside wanted to be a perfect balance between an MMO and FPS. Hopefully it will be just that and not a slighly more advanced clone of the ranking system that BF2 and BF:2142 have.
I must say that Huxley is certainly my most anticipated game after Stargate Worlds.
The biggest problem is if it doesn't have enough MMO feel to it a lot of potential players will skip it due to the monthly fee.

It does ring true that a "real" gamer would have a decent system... as opposed to one of the Trammies in their many forms across almost every MMORPG ever made since EverQuest... who only needs to be able to auto-click on combat and use their games as chat programs to socialize...
Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. ... There's a bad moon on the rise.
Originally posted by KillerJimmy I couldn't wait for Huxley back in the day (almost a year ago now)....The one fateful day this summer I went to Webzen's website and found out the game will never be released.

You may be on to something here. You're not the first to suggest that Huxley is mostly vaporware.
To those of you anticipating this game - don't hold your breath.

I believe Huxley will be the beginning of something great. Maybe some day to rival the online juggernaut that is World of Warcraft. It combines the two elements of gameplay that draw the crowds forward. The expansive, intergrated universe of an MMO, with the intense multiplayer combat of the FPS genre. I, myself, am dedicated to both in essence. The MMO world makes you part of something that is bigger than yourself, or that you can even be bigger than - if you work hard enough. Then there is the undeniable lure of player versus player situations. It's almost like a dream come true for me. I really do hope it succeeds, as well. It's inevitable, anyway. The talent gathered from across the world to work on the game line, the immense corporate monster that is Webzen, and the raw power of the Unreal Engine shall create something amazing. Don't underestimate this game, fellas.

I think that would be a great game. I do not like how MMOs currently play. Run around.. then stand and spam your skills till someone is dead.
I long for MMOs where you have to juke and jive, bob and weave, use cover, suppresion fire, flanking, and misdirection in the tactics. I long for a MMO with the roleplaying aspect, character development, and immersive world of a modern day MMO but the interface and gameplay of a refined shooter. I hope we will see a game like that soon.
Whoa, hold the phone there for a sec! I read just now above that the game might not be released? Or is that old info since I see from atleast 2 sites, talking about the game and release date (not stated just 2007).

That's one of the poster's speculation, because the company that's making Huxley is also making 3 other MMO's.
Anyways, I think the MMOFPS franchise DEFINITELY has potential. However, when I imagine an MMOFPS I think of like Half-Life 2 meets MMO or Gears of War meets MMO. I want a really developed FPS game but with a free-to-roam world and a massive community that I can converse with, trade with, and kill. I want the battle system to play like an FPS, where cover does something and you have to aim and fire. I don't want auto-targeting or push a button and let the game do every thing for you. Where's the fun in that?
Huxley definitely has the potential to meet all of what I'm looking for and the graphics are really good. Also, who doesn't think the idea of 100vs100 FPS sounds f-ing awesome? This game has potential. I just hope that they meet it.
As a former planetside player I am also interested in how this game will shape out. I'll certainly try it out as it looks fairly good at this point.
Planetside did massive battles well, but I found it lacking in character development and other rpg aspects which is something that appears to be more of a focus in huxley.

If you were a real gamer you would know that the only quad SLI system uses 2x 7950gx2's for quad SLI.
An internal SLI link, and an external SLI link. And it's buggy as hell. SLI was never designed to scale past 2 procs.
So far I think Huxley looks good. A new MMOFPS with some PvE will be a refreshing new game.
What would make it perfect IMO would be to add corpse looting, housing (but I think I read that the game will have apartments?), and hopefully this will be a solo-friendly game (no need for a large party in order to advance).
That being said... even if it's just a MMOFPS without corpse looting or housing or soloability, it still looks good. Mainly because it looks like persistent instant action without commitment, and that's a refreshing change from most games out there.

They do seem extremely overpriced...What Mobos do they put in them? Do they manufacture their own? Get some lame company to make one for 20 bucks like Dell? Or does it have an ASUS?
I have looked at their site, and they never seem to advertise what backplane their computers have. To me, a motherboard is paramount to a stable fast system, you would think they mention something.
I personally hope it turns out like a Sony Online cookie cutter game. Same races and classes with abysmal combat animations and game engine. Hopefully they will couple it with the same dick thinking and nerf classes that dont need to be nerfed to an unplayable game that will get reinvented several times over. I really hope when you enter a town in this game, you freeze for 2 minutes while the game renders players and objects like the last 3 SOE games I have played.

If it's going to really compete it's going to have to have more than just targets to shoot and weapons to use. The mark of a great game is in the lore and how deeply the game immerses the player in the world. A great game makes the player want to live in the world, not just shoot in it.

While I agree that it is sub-par, I disagree with it not being a juggernaut. The game topples over any other MMO in terms of subscriptions. I really wish the game would die but it just wont. QQ I guess.
Without an open world to explore and no PvE combat, this game will never compete with the big boys. I still want to play it, but more like a 30minute FPS session, not an immersive long-term MMORPG.
You should look into the game some more before posting something like that. Huxley has a whole race dedicated to pve and pve is actually a very large part of the game. havn't you seen the videos..........???? or the dev comments.......????

Honestly, this looks like a seriously cool game! I dont get why its getting totally dogged!
I personally think, and hope, that HUXLEY will be like Gears of War characters and weapons in the WoW world with the same ammount of customization.
And the WoW world moved 500 years out in the future.
That would be sooo cool!
To end, I would like to make a rotating smiley because he looks cool:
