The open beta will be the judge and/or jury for this game. With a street date of Sept 18th they don't have a lot of time. I'm preparing for the worst.

Yea I am still pissed I haven't received my beta code yet. I put mine in at the beginning of last year.

$14.99 per month....for 1 game?? That's outrageous! Don't they know the PSN is free??!!

metallbizkit5892d ago

It is an MMO... that is the pricing norm for a game like this.

dachiefsman5892d ago

lmao. you really don't know how to read or don't know anything about this game.

Motion5892d ago

Also of which has absolutely no relevance to this game.

$15 a month is completely standard for a p2p mmorpg. I don't see what you're so up in arms about.

shikwan5892d ago

But I was merely repeating the Sony Fanboy rhetoric that usually goes on here - sarcastically. I've been on XBL since the beta days and I actually have two Gold accounts so I know and undersatnd about MMOs...I'm just not into 'em out of fear they would consume my life.

The game is shaping up nicely, all characters i feel are balanced and fun to play as.

I will definitely be buying and trying this out, but it will need to be really damn good to pull me away from wow.

I agree when it comes to The Sims Online. That game was really fun and nothing has even come close to it. I still crave a new Sims with online multiplayer. Blows my mind they haven't done anything like that since The Sims Online or even The Sims Bustin' Out on PS2.

Five Ambitious MMOs That Never Took Off

Kevin from Denkiphile: "The first I’d ever heard of Titan was at the height of my World of Warcraft career, which was also the same time that several games, touted as WoW-killers, came onto the market and failed miserably. It made sense to me at the time that the only thing that could kill WoW was Blizzard themselves, but this also eventually changed with the advent of session-based, microtransaction-supported games like League of Legends. Titan was supposed to revolutionize and revitalize the MMO genre, but it certainly was not the first to crash and burn before its first flight. Here are some MMOs whose ambitions flew them too close to the sun."

12 Dead Online Video Games That Should Never Have Ended

The closing of multiplayer services can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there just aren’t enough people using a product to justify keeping it running while in others it could be down to complicated legal wrangling, like expiring licensing agreements, or even a desire to bring out a new installment.
