Yes, we need more games like this. But more so we need one with an open world. Not complaining though, i am going to buy this game on or soon after its release and i have signed up for beta. WOOT something to break my WoW addiction!
This is a clever little video. I can confess to being extremely tired of elves. They've worn out their welcome.
Global Agenda doesn't have everything that Planetside does, that's for sure, but what it does have feels pretty substantive. I just got back from PAX and had a chance to play it twice. It was a surprisingly polished experience.
I don't know if it'll be great or it'll flop, but I will be there at launch to find out.
i wonder what would happen if Huxley's scout vs GA recon, i mean like scout has amor that deflect bullets even from heavy machinery but then the recon can turn invisible, so i guess its a fair fight
O and just a little fyi X-play doesnt do shit for Mmos lol they dont tend to stick the grubby hands in them... and just bc this game hasnt been on it yet doesn't mean anything....Maybe Hi-Rez is trying to keep the true development quite hmm? ever thought of that... Dumbass
I don't think it's possible that the game will come out this Fall :\ There's a close beta soon and not many people are talking about this game D: X-Play should be one of the first to learn everything about it but they haven't even talkedabout it yet
Ok let me put this straight! In world of warcraft how many times did you see a battle that consisted more than 40 peopl esame thing with any other MMO this is a huge step in the MMO world
lol you havnt even played the game, the game isn't in CB yet you fucking retard what the fuck you talking bout? Cb starts 24th july lol your fail hating comment fails hard.
This guy is just a hater and doesn't appreciate good games and it's an mmo so you don't have to pvp idiot you kill monsters and shit to.
Yeah, Eve regularly has battles with 500+ participants. As long as the programmers don't suck, this game should easily be able to handle a couple hundred.
WOW about every 2.5 hours welcome to winter grasp :) on peak times 200+ is easily managed.
EVE online over a 1000 people blowing each other up in major fleet fights. (YEs you have to warn them they are going to happen so they can get some more server power working :)
Yet I cannot wait to play this game as it makes me feel like I am watching a tribes again again. (mid air discs here I come :D )
theres no way an elf would survive in a game like this. one reason would be what they displayed was the time to cast a fireball but then the fireball could easily be dodged by stepping slightly to the side. a bullet can easily kill you before you even notice you've been shot in the face. Plus elves would easily stand out.
"What are you kiddin' me? ...Whatever..." (1 Shots the Fairy Boy). Man, finally a SCI-FI MMO that's actually decent and is going to start putting these fantasy games in their place.
It has a large, persistent world. Along with just about every other MMO feature. It may have quite a lot of instancing, and a lobby feature ... but that's additional stuff to the MMO beneath.
Massive is defined as "large scale" and as far as online matches go in any game 60 vs 60 is large scale. Your point is debatable. The only feature missing from GA that is not traditional to MMOs is travel time which I am more than happy to do without. Every other MMO features is there.
IE: PvE w/ boss battles, loot, leveling, classes/subclasses, skill trees, crafting, auctions, 30+ weapons per class, Raids, each server if a different geographical location shard vs. shard for territory.
Compared to what. Keep in mind that FPS gameplay is far more demanding that the traditional MMO "target and click" gameplay.
It is not a traditional MMO where you do a quest, run around and do another quest but, in the GA world that wouldn't make much sense anyways. This is a tech world. No one runs anywhere. :p
It's one community like EvE and 60v60 is large like you said which a definition of the word massive. No it is not a open world MMO but it is still an MMO by definition of the word.
Which was a large amount of islands, the gameplay was also very clunky and not up to par with normal FPS game unlike GA. It's a MMO just not traditional. A min van and a cargo van are diferent yet both are still vans. That's the view point I am trying to get across.
I gave Battleground Europe a brief try, but the learning curve was a vertical cliff and the time between action kind of bothered me. Great game though.
but on an important note, can you explore the World and fight anyone anywere or does this have instances were u cant explore.... and fight only in small maps?
Omg i luv dis game cant wait till come out awsome graphics+great gameplay+territory conrol 24/7? AWSOMENESS buti dont get this video. Is it saying mmorpgs with mages suc? or is it saying Elves will be added to the game but everyone will hate them stating,"no elves"
The video is stating how a Elve would be in a futruistic sci fi world and its made for laughs. Not for anything u just wrote. Definetly the elves wouldnt be added because it says No Elves
Unfortunately that doesn't really say much when games like AoC and WAR were just as hyped (more, infact).
Now, assuming that they were to attempt something along the lines of a player faction based planetside it could get interesting but to be perfectly fair after listening to the developers I lose almost all hope for this game.
It sounds unreasonable pherhaps, but I'm very sceptical of public "closed" betas. In a game where knowledge is power this gives a HUGE edge to the players that have already participated in the beta.
Instead I'd rather see the game to be tested by a handful of players, who not are whole clans or guilds. When the game approaches release you could have an open stress-test beta to test hardware.
You'll probably end up with a few more bugs and glitches but a much more enjoyable launch.
ah true, but bugs n glitches can ruin a launch for a game. like conan, things like imbalance between classes can ruin games and many people might leave due to issues like this which is why closed betas are nessescary in most cases
Absolutely, but to be honest I see no reason why a small team of beta testers couldn't pick out those very same gamebreaking bugs.
AoC was a result of false promises, sheer neglect of bugs and glitches and very poor game design choices overall. The fact that it was fairly system demanding didn't exactly help either. Their GM staff was incompetent aswell and the developers would remove any well deserved critiqueand insight of the game that was posted on the forums.
i agree entirely, so many problems in aoc along with the high demand which lead my computer to blue screen over 20 times, just because it had an issue with the type of ram i was using, is a bit rediculous. But in a game like warhammer the GM staff and company that were meant to maintain it were completely different in EU than the US, the US got a full staff and the EU team, GOA, if you looked on the site you could see than had spaces for all jobs in their GM team. another game bound to fail.
I was fairly surprised though that Mythic produced such a poor game, there was a HUGE demand for a new MMO with countless players who were tired of WoW and desperately wanted something new.
They've already went below 300k subs, which is pretty darn shitty for a fantasy MMO with an IP as good as Warhammer's (then again, they molested the warhammer lore).
haha yeah, i did play that game and to be honest it definately wasnt as bad as conan was. but yeah goa made it pretty terrible with the problems with scenario pvp and various other things never being fixed, it just gets a bit tiresome =\
I'll definitely agree with you on that, WAR was nowhere near as bad as AoC! Still, it was very crude and the grind was awful. The game design was poor IMO but it could've been enjoyable at least if it weren't in such a crude alpha-like state.
The world was actually pretty ugly, the BG's were poorly designed and glitchy, it was just one whole linear long grind and there wasn't much lore worth bothering with.
I heard that it got a bit better later on, but still .. mweh.
You should check up some facts about AOC before you pick on it, I don't play it anymore but it's probably one of the games with absolutley most potential ever.
That the game failed was not because of bad choices, false promises or sheer neglect of bugs. They ran out of money and didn't get anymore, so they had to release the game in it's beta stage. About 6 months earlier than they actually wanted to release it.
WoW was pretty terrible at the start also, sure it was still fun.
But the only reason that WoW really did succeed was that it was the first MMO with an actual breakthrough, players who'd like to play an MMO didn't have many other games to choose from (now I'm talking "famous" games).
Sure there was Everquest and Ultima Online (and lots of others) but none of these were known to the crowd.
Therefor, people gave it time to develop. Unlike what people do with new games that come out.
WoW wasn't terrible at start, it was fantastic. Aside from queues the game was incredibly polished and had quality content lvl 1-60 and endgame.
WoW CREATED the market for MMO's, Blizzard attracted new players to their genre with their brand name and Warcraft intellectual property.
There have been many other MMO's tbh but none since EVE-Online and WoW have been truly worthwhile. Nothing but poor game design, shitty optimization and rushed releases.
Diablo may not have been, but it was still good enough, and Tibia was one of the first, and people today still go back to that game for its massive content.
WoW was always terrible. It could only have been more childish/redarded if the characters were actually furry teddy bears that believe in Santa Claus. ^^
WoW Is so simple easy..Oh look I can solo to max lvl in 3weeks man..that was fun. I like hard grind MMOS...I thought MMOS were for the community and grouping....lol @ 5 man groups. If I want to solo I'll go play BIOSHOCK or something..HAHAHA
I have to agree, WoW IS a simple MMO, as to why it's so addicting, there is very little incentive as to why you have to interact with other players, other then you want to of course, as you can be solo the entire game, and just pvp your butt off end game (yes, I consider that soloing if you don't sign up as a group), and that's all I'd be able to do, as apparently playing Ret Pally is a "no-no" still and I love it to death, not to mention I don't wanna be yelled at for playing a game for FUN...
As for AoC, what "facts"? The game's bloody instanced (yea.. real "next-gen" MMO) and they had GM's threatening to ban people for griefing in a s'posed PvP game!
The fact that nothing worked, there was lacking content and it was glitchy as fuck is only in addition to its poor game design.
WoW created an EXTREME demand for MMO's, the AoC team had every chance in the world to make it work but they showed us nothing but incompetence and continued to lie to their customers.
sadly this game has nothing to back it up, no lore, no history. So its come down to cheap shots at the rest.
No worries its a small company trying to do something different. Probably have like 10,000 subs the first few months as it slowly declines in this saturated world of mmo's. But good luck.
Thanks for standing still, wanker!

I'll definitely agree with you on that, WAR was nowhere near as bad as AoC! Still, it was very crude and the grind was awful. The game design was poor IMO but it could've been enjoyable at least if it weren't in such a crude alpha-like state.
The world was actually pretty ugly, the BG's were poorly designed and glitchy, it was just one whole linear long grind and there wasn't much lore worth bothering with.
I heard that it got a bit better later on, but still .. mweh.

You should check up some facts about AOC before you pick on it, I don't play it anymore but it's probably one of the games with absolutley most potential ever.
That the game failed was not because of bad choices, false promises or sheer neglect of bugs. They ran out of money and didn't get anymore, so they had to release the game in it's beta stage. About 6 months earlier than they actually wanted to release it.
No game has been perfect on release.

WoW was pretty terrible at the start also, sure it was still fun.
But the only reason that WoW really did succeed was that it was the first MMO with an actual breakthrough, players who'd like to play an MMO didn't have many other games to choose from (now I'm talking "famous" games).
Sure there was Everquest and Ultima Online (and lots of others) but none of these were known to the crowd.
Therefor, people gave it time to develop. Unlike what people do with new games that come out.

Don't expect to much out of new MMO's, they will all be buggy and will require alot of balancing no matter what.
Over and out ;)

WoW wasn't terrible at start, it was fantastic. Aside from queues the game was incredibly polished and had quality content lvl 1-60 and endgame.
WoW CREATED the market for MMO's, Blizzard attracted new players to their genre with their brand name and Warcraft intellectual property.
There have been many other MMO's tbh but none since EVE-Online and WoW have been truly worthwhile. Nothing but poor game design, shitty optimization and rushed releases.

The original Guild Wars, Tibia, Diablo II, and City of heroes/villains where good.

Diablo wasn't an MMO.
Tibia was just a mediocre browser game aswell.. mweh.
s4jt 2 years ago 2
Diablo may not have been, but it was still good enough, and Tibia was one of the first, and people today still go back to that game for its massive content.
oloompop 2 years ago
Agreed, Diablo 2 was an awesome multiplayer experience.
As for Tibia etc, people still go back and play MUDs, that doesn't mean that they are necessarily great.

WoW was always terrible. It could only have been more childish/redarded if the characters were actually furry teddy bears that believe in Santa Claus. ^^

WoW Is so simple easy..Oh look I can solo to max lvl in 3weeks man..that was fun. I like hard grind MMOS...I thought MMOS were for the community and grouping....lol @ 5 man groups. If I want to solo I'll go play BIOSHOCK or something..HAHAHA
Pasling270 2 years ago
.. you do realise that 99% of the time spent in on a character in WoW for any active player was spent in the end-game portion of the game?
There's plenty of opportunity for community in WoW, oh and what of 5man groups? There's also raid instances and whatnot.
You're an idiot.

I have to agree, WoW IS a simple MMO, as to why it's so addicting, there is very little incentive as to why you have to interact with other players, other then you want to of course, as you can be solo the entire game, and just pvp your butt off end game (yes, I consider that soloing if you don't sign up as a group), and that's all I'd be able to do, as apparently playing Ret Pally is a "no-no" still and I love it to death, not to mention I don't wanna be yelled at for playing a game for FUN...

As for AoC, what "facts"? The game's bloody instanced (yea.. real "next-gen" MMO) and they had GM's threatening to ban people for griefing in a s'posed PvP game!
The fact that nothing worked, there was lacking content and it was glitchy as fuck is only in addition to its poor game design.
WoW created an EXTREME demand for MMO's, the AoC team had every chance in the world to make it work but they showed us nothing but incompetence and continued to lie to their customers.

it doesn't need to, but it helps, because this kind of marketing reaches people
Cockwallet 2 years ago
What do you call this marketing?!
not stylish?!
have a look at the fantastic gameplay of Global Agenda.
if we're talking about a game being unable to promote itself through gameplay, how about all those WoW adverts with celebrities?
YAWN

So a "clone" mmo full of elves and fairies and other fantasy stuff is good.
Fact is that there is a market for people who are EXTREMELY tired of goblins, orcs, and Drizzt / Legolas derivatives.
Quit crying.

sadly this game has nothing to back it up, no lore, no history. So its come down to cheap shots at the rest.
No worries its a small company trying to do something different. Probably have like 10,000 subs the first few months as it slowly declines in this saturated world of mmo's. But good luck.
