I believe these MMOs will fall into the "exclusive PS3" titles NCsoft and Sony discussed last year.

I played Exteel all through its beta and had a rather fun time with it. It's a great game if you only have a half an hour to commit. The game runs on just about any system, the combat is fun and the upgrade system makes it addictive.

L3 got pushed back to like 2012 which is as good as dead. Aion is using the Crytek engine, not the one from Crysis but from Farcry.

I don't know if Huxley is using the U3 engine.

Aion looks pretty good, not super fantastic, but better than alot of other MMOs out there (cough WoW).

@Fyren: Aion is using Crytek's Cryengine (yeah the first one, the one that did FarCry).

@Bon5ai: Lineage 3 is dead? I hadn't heard that. I was rather looking forward to a spiffed up Lineage 3...

@belo: Its using the cryengine(1).

Tbh i couldn't care less about NCsoft, i can barely care for MMOs at all these days... However whatever MMOG Bioware is cooking up could be interessting.

Also because it's multiplatform, but I personally rather see no PS3 port than a crappy PS3 port.

More and more people are switching to UE3 because it promises to be the end all be all engine/middleware solution. Then game companies get disappointed when they find out that really isn't the case.

From what I heard, BioWare was having a pretty tough time getting Mass Effect on the Unreal 3 Engine since it's mostly designed for a first player type of game.

It's ayight..but not the "end all, be all".

What is with every one using the UE3. I think Gears looks great but that is because it is from Epic. A lot of the games that run on UE3 suck. I would love to see more new engines get used. May be even the Offset engine very few people are using it at this time.

What ever the game is though it should be good seeing as NCsoft makes some great games.

Geckosan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:52:59 MDT

@brent_w: Never said it was

The NCSoft games I have played (I haven't played Lineage II) have all been from what seems to be the same generic mold that most trash MMO's come from.

Is Lineage II different? When I see the words "unforgiving grind" I immediately think not ;)

@onidavin: They nerfed SMG's down in the last patch, they gave buffs to shotguns and also to siege weapons.

I play primarily siege and I have no problem scoring big each game.

SMG's are still most used type of mech build, but its by no way the strongest. Heck I find close combat builds to often have more pure power.

@brent_w: Finally, someone that understands the appeal of Lineage franchise.

WoW will never beat Lineage in Korea unfortunately. I didn't understand the 2week grind to gain one level till I saw some epic siege and PvP during my cousin's heyday.

Exteel is simultaneously cool and disappointing. Too little variety, and SMG-use is pretty overpowered.

@Geckosan: Lineage 2 wean't generic.

Lineage 2 had some amazing achievements. It was an excellent PVP game and the castle sieges were the most epic events I have ever seen in an MMO.

Its crippling drawback was the unforgiving grind which may work in the Korean market, but doesn't work well here.

I have to use Unreal Engine 2 this term for a level design project. Fun times. Wish we were working with 3.

Aion, DX-10 U3.0 engine, looks very...underwhelming.

Huxley, DX-10 U3.0 engine, looks very...unerwhelming.

This is the 2nd Kotaku article to say that Exteel is "forthcoming".

Exteel is already out! It's been out in non beta form now for months!

Fun game for mecha fans, and it's free to play.

Kart-Rider rules the MMO world. Well, the MMO world for people who don't want to grind or pay money.

Something rather addictive about this online Mariokart clone.

Auto-Assault wasn't really a NCSoft game, they just published it. Some dumb ass american developer made it, though I guess it was NC's fault for backing it.

Too bad Lineage 3 is dead, hopefully XLGames's Crytek 2 engine based mmo can fill the void.

Im sick of the Unreal engine, it seems like every game that uses it, has the same graphical glitches that you just go "oh... this is a UE game....."

Advanced lighting and shadowing systems! Are you fucking kidding me? Has anybody played Gears or Mass Effect other than me? Have you seen the shit the "advanced lighting and shadowing system" vomits all over everybody's faces?
