Ask any gamer and they can probably tell you the basics of any MMORPG: create a character, pick a class, and level grind for hours on end. Maybe that's why Gamania Digital Entertainment is working on Core Blaze, a new MMORPG in the works that pays no heed towards character classes nor experience levels. Blasphemy you say? Perhaps, but one must do things a little bit differently than the rest in order to stand out in an over-saturated MMO market.
Things have been rather quiet for Taiwanese developer Gamania (Beanfun) after pulling out of the English market. Updates for Core Blaze, its debut non-target action MMORPG, stopped for nearly a year on Facebook until the revealing of the in-development mobile version hours ago.
Recently, Trion Worlds' End of Nations, a game that has almost been forgotten by us resurfaced and rebooted as tactical MOBA. It reminds the writer of numbers of MMOs, which have been off the radar for quite a while, but they are not dead, not officially at least.
With key exceptions, video game role playing games have seemed to be on a bit of a decline in years past. Maybe they're slowly falling out of favor with the gaming mainstream -- even with all of the free-to-play MMORPGs that seems to be coming out every few months. Then again, maybe the genre as a whole was just holding back for a great year sometime in the future.
I thought the last interview that the producer of DS2 gave put significant doubt on the game making a 2013 release?
Edit: Never mind. I actually read the article and it seems the author is also unsure of a release this year.
Yeah I somehow completely forgot that. It's only 25% done, so remove Dark Souls II from that list. Guarantee I got disagrees for Lightning Returns but I could give a crap, I loved FFXIII (hated FFXIII-2) and am cautiously excited for LR.
"Guarantee I got disagrees for Lightning Returns..."
Ha! I thought the same thing. Just so you know, I didn't give you one. Couldn't care less about the games you like, actually. You enjoy your games, I'll do the same with mine.
I'm really hoping DS2 comes to PS4/720 in addition to their predecessors. Even if it's just a resolution and framerate upgrade, I'd be pretty happy.
Playing Ni no Kuni now, its amazing
I'm also getting Tales of Xillia when it comes out
Lightning Returns
Tales of Xilla
Sill need to get Ni no kuni in the mean time.
