Huxley
Webzen Games has a few games that have been generating more and more attention lately, of note is: Huxley, a massively multiplayer online first person shooter (MMOFPS) with "millions of users engaged in fast-paced, large-scale combat"is being developed for both the pc and the X-Box 360 using the Unreal 3 game engine.
The scenario is as follows:
"Huxley takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and are divided into two opposing races, Sapiens and Alternative"
and while online
"everything a character does in the Huxley world directly affects the success of not only the individual, but also of their race and party; from battles to behaviors, all interactions are linked to the survival of a character’s entire race"
replayability and motivation to continue will come from the
"quests in Huxley will take players on paths of intrigue to uncover conspiracies resulting in confrontations. Each quest is continually updated so players feel as though they are enjoying a new story mode every time they play. The characters in Huxley are continuously growing, which is rare in FPS games. Players are able to enhance their own combat styles by obtaining out-of-this-world weapons and new skills, which in turn continuously challenges players to adopt different gameplay styles as they progress".
Now this is a huge undertaking and Webzen has not specified whether this game will be subscription based either but this game is a long ways away (third quarter 2006) but the potential is definitely there.
