Huxley: Vaporware Edition
Huxley is one game that’s been on our radar ever since we heard of it. You can’t blame us. A first person shooter, made using the Unreal 3 engine, set in a persistent world sounds like one killer MMOG. The game got a lot of media coverage in E3 2005, and was rated as the Best Online Game of the event. During E3 2006 all eyes were on Huxley, and while a lot of people commended it for implementing the first-person shooter aspect in a persistent universe, others thought of it as an extremely ambitious project that would more likely than not go bust.
I was amongst the optimistic half of the lot, but this year’s E3 has left me in doubt. There was absolutely no coverage or even a mere mention of the game, let alone a full fledged CG (or gameplay) trailer. What disappointed me even further was that the game’s website (mini-site rather) hasn’t been updated since last year. Has the game been canceled or will we ever get our hands on it? We can’t tell, and this year's E3 didn’t help either. What the hell are you up to Webzen!?
As for other things which were disappointing was that they didnt announce anything like, RUMBLE for SiXaXis or anything. also, There has been no Info if Online Gaming on Wii, I was expecting that. The disappointing thing in MS conference was that.. they didnt give SCell any showcasing.. I mean, they should have mentioned that its an exclusive and how proud they are of having it.
