We’ve suspected an incoming Ubisoft MMO for quite a while, ever since the developer/publisher posted that they were hiring for an unnamed online RPG. At Ubisoft’s conference at this year’s E3, Ubisoft’s David Polfeldt revealed that the game is a massive online shooter named The Division. Not a whole lot is known about the game, … Continue reading “Ubisoft’s MMO Is The Division”
Have you been paying attention to E3? If not, why not? Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will be coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One, and will be enjoying a PS4 exclusive beta first before its other platforms. All three versions will launch in Spring 2014. Just announced: Elder Scrolls Online is … Continue reading “Elder Scrolls Online Confirmed PC, PS4, XB1”
Better late than never, I suppose. Champions Online is a game that, despite its potential, has seen some neglect over the years. The game has been subject to a number of updates over the years that are either never fully realized or have spent their lives in a perpetual prototype or broken state. It appears … Continue reading “Cryptic Opens Studio To Polish Champions Online”
Defiance is simultaneously one of the greatest and one of the worst MMO shooters I have ever played. On one hand, it brings back thoughts of what Tabula Rasa might have looked like if it had been created for a 2013 audience, an open world, seamless shooter with RPG elements and guns. On the other … Continue reading “Defiance Initial Impressions”
Those of you who read Flying Ostrich Media are aware that over there I have covered Steam’s new system of pre-purchase reward tiers from time to time. If you aren’t familiar with the system, it works pretty simply: The more people pre-purchase through Steam, the higher the percentage and more rewards are unlocked. Bioshock Infinite, … Continue reading “Defiance Might Not Hit Steam Tiers”
This week’s Thursday Top 5 has to do with communication. The names and titles we give to products and the way that companies and their customers communicate. As I have to say every week, try not to take this as an affront to your favorite game/developer. I use some specific examples of games, but those … Continue reading “Thursday Top 5: New Rules For MMO Language”
Every once in a while I come across an MMO here at MMO Fallout and think to myself, “oh yea, whatever happened to that game? It never launched, or if it did I certainly haven’t heard anything about it.” Huxley is just that MMO. In fact, the last time we discussed Huxley here at MMO … Continue reading “Checking Up: Whatever Happened To Huxley?”
For Western players, the Phantasy Star Universe has already been over. Originally launched in 2006, Sega first began the MMO’s eventual closure by shutting down the North American and European servers on the PC and Playstation 2 in March 2010. Following, PS2 support in Japan was discontinued in April 2011, and just this month we … Continue reading “Phantasy Star Universe Sunsets”
Raptr is one of my favorite apps to have running in the background, next to xfire. Essentially it is a simple program which tracks how much time you spend in games on your PC, Xbox and PS3, tracks your achievements, and ranks you in each game based on time played and achievements earned. It also … Continue reading “Raptr: Star Trek Online Bundle Coming 9/4”
The recent announcement of a new boxed expansions for Final Fantasy XI brought a swell of joy from the aging MMO’s community. Except for the Playstation 2 community, because earlier today Square Enix clarified on the announcement to point out that Seekers of Adoulin will not be releasing on the Playstation 2 outside of Japan, … Continue reading “Is FFXI Going To Start Phasing Out The PS2?
