I think we will see the same trend with Planetside 2 and Everquest.

Saryk3532d ago

I agree since they are older games and the lack of MMOs for the console. However brand new game will be higher on PC, for a bit anyway.

True. I played for quite awhile until FF14. I just think that merging w/ PC would be cool. I know issues exist, especially for PvP, but it could b worked out. And I think PC players would get over the changes when they saw how populated the world became.

Sometimes, I forget Everquest Next is going to happen. Those are the dark periods in my life. Thank you for reminding me. :D I can't wait!

Spotie3532d ago

I'll be back on it as soon as I get my PS4.

Ripsta7th3532d ago

Did u have to send yours in for repair too? Lol mine took a week and a half to get it back, getting it back in wednsday though :D

joab7773532d ago

I feel for ya, especially if u play an mmo.

BX813532d ago

It's a sweet game. I played it for ps3. It looks pretty good on the ps4 as well.

ColonelRex3532d ago

Good. Now its time to make a Marvel Universe Online.

joab7773532d ago

Isn't city of heroes 2 being made using unreal engine 4?

WeAreLegion3532d ago (Edited 3532d ago )

SOE wanted to make Marvel Universe Online, but were turned down. So, they went with DC Universe Online. Marvel had other ideas for what they wanted to do.

Hence, Marvel Heroes... Go ahead. Play Marvel Heroes. Nowhere near as fun as DC Universe Online. It's a shame, too. I prefer Marvel's stories.

Tried to play it this one time and I cried.

Not really , you forget that microsoft was already doing a Marvel MMO for xbox 360 with Cryptic studios . Wich MS cancelled like all their planned xbox mmos . And cryptic salvaged the work for the insipid Champions Online anyway

The plans for the diablo like Marvel heroes only came later . Wth Sony already having a relationship anyway with DC (on top of DCUO , they were the publisher for Sony games based comics such as God of War , While Marvel was even doing the Halo comic books)

ColonelRex3532d ago

I tried to play it too and it sucks. Marvel Heros is just a pathetic attempt to get gamers to waste money.

The_Truth_24_73532d ago

Time to stop development on the PS3.

joab7773532d ago

That would help a ton, but how much revenue still flows from the ps3? Quite a bit. FF14 manages to do whatever they want despite the ps3, but I think their PC base is bigger. Also UE3 is a much different animal.

Drithe3532d ago

Considering only around 100 people actually play it. That really isn't saying much. :)

MMOs In 2021 Retrospective: Console Edition

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
