Wow. That looks like one crazy ass game. Is that a concrete golem?

This game does look damn interesting, but I thought it was originally announced as PC/360, and now...is platform ambiguous (for lack of a better term).

that actually looks really good,...but as i only have one real life friend with an xbox i'll probably pass it up being an MMO and all.

I believe it's still for the PC. However, I really think the 360 version will be the one HEAVILY pushed into the spotlight.

Or heavily pushed elsewhere... like off a cliff, next to the 360 version of Age of Conan.

It's not a killer app.

1. It's not got good grafix
2. Its MMO
3. Its theme and setting is tired

I perdict 250k tops, if it ever comes out on X360. ('member that Conan was planned for X360 by the same developer but is canned)

Yeah, the MMO marketplace on the 360 has been hampered by the LIVE team from all the rumblings I've heard. 

Still be interested if this game comes to the 360!  It looks sharp, and if the gameplay is there...

I'm liking the sounds of this, and yet it sounds so different than the trailer they showed last week. Also, I've never tried MMOs before, but I would for this game. I'm gonna need someone to educate me about them.

As for killer apps, doesn't Microsoft have two lined up for next year already (Halo: Reach and Fable III)?

People seem to forget that FFXI released on the 360 years ago... its not the first 7th gen MMO game...

True, but it could never hurt to add another...

Agreed. Now I'm going to wikipedia to learn about MMOs!

Reasonable on 11 September 2009

Funny, I keep forgetting this is on 360. I really only relate to it as a PC title - and unless it turns out to be a mess will at least dabble in it for a while to see how it plays.

I never really liked any of their MMOs, but really love their adventure titles so am curious to see if the combination of both works for me.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
