Let's Continue with the problems of E3's future MMOS...
- Final Fantasy XIV
This game is probably not what most people expect based on how Final Fantasy XI, the first Final Fantasy MMO, turned out. FFXIV will have much slower teamwork based combat which is more about strategy then most newer MMOS. This is likely to be a big disappointment for the newer MMO generation who are expecting fast paced combat that require alot less coordination between players and are often filled with non stop instant gratification.
The recently released benchmark program for the game only seems to be doing well on the best top of the line computers, which is an extremely small market. The game does have a probably toned down version releasing for PS3 as well however and the Benchmark isn't always the best indicator of how the final product will run.
- The secret world
Everything about this game is still, well a secret. What we do know is that it's a MMO with a dark fantasy setting (zombies, vampires etc). There are almost no Dark Fantasy MMOs currently on the market so this may only appeal to a very limited audience.
This game is also created by FUNCOM whose last MMO Age of Conan had a horrible 2 year start and is only recently starting to recover with it's new expansion.
Look for part 3 of the E3 MMOs that will likely fail coming soon...
In the upcoming parts we will look at the MMOS below.
Guild Wars 2
All Points Bulletin
DC Universe
I like your graphic. I also like that fact that you are blogging with parts. i.e. 'Part 2 of 3'. It really makes me as a reader want to come back and check out what the next part will be.
ReplyDeleteI agree with T, after reading these posts I am honestly thinking about getting into this video game thing.
