The Promise of the Halo MMOG

Jim Rossignol sees the loss of Ensemble's Halo MMOG as a great opportunity. "Microsoft wants MMOGs to take the action-shooter route: It's called the DonnyBrook project. DonnyBrook is a research project being undertaken by Microsoft, the aim of which is to come up with a suitable network-code system for putting hundreds of people in the same game, all shooting in real time, without the kind of crippling lag that traditionally makes this kind of thing unplayable. An early proof-of-concept demo made using Quake III as base was quite convincing, and this means that the technology for a truly massive shooter is in the pipeline. Combine this technical leap with the Halo world - which is already being fleshed with a library of books and comics, ripening Master Chief's galaxy for more games in the setting - and we suddenly find that we're facing the best possible candidate for content-hungry MMOG in which FPS action is the main event."

I wish this came out. I mean seriously it's an MMO, the graphics aren't going to be outstanding. I would of loved to see swords and items within the Halo universe.

gambare5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

they can take an example of an existing SciFi MMO like Tabula Rasa

GiantEnemyLobster5746d ago

Would be sure to knock any effort at a PS3 MMO back into the water.

When you consider the development time for MMO games.....i think this can be a launch game for the next Xbox in 2011.
Think about it....every console needs a killer game with a new system and what can it meen for the next Xbox......sell millions.
Another Halo FPS game is not a good id for the new Xbox.(especially without a Bungie mark on it)
The potential of a Halo MMO is fenominal with al kinds of classes and big 100+ player battles with tanks,plaines,etc...
It's also a nice opportunity to brag with the hardware for the new Xbox ......think about it.
You need alot of time to make this game......2011-12 is a possibility for a gold version and the deadline for the next Xbox.

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop23h ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE23h ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

porkChop19h ago

The problem isn't them respawning. It's that they respawned after just 5 minutes. Like you'd still be in the area looking for diamonds, loot, exploring, etc, and the enemies would just respawn with you there.

Red Dead Redemption 1 Isn't As Good As People Remember It To Be

RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.

Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles

just_looken1d 19h ago

I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.

red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.

I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny

Cacabunga1d 12h ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken1d 10h ago

@caca

I know i said that

Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is

Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..

The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.

You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic

“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”

Oh and thanks for the laugh ..

jznrpg1d 3h ago

They didn’t name it Red Dead Revolver 2. They named it Red Dead Redemption

neutralgamer19921d 3h ago

Looken

It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated

On topic:

If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)

Junk article. Game was dope and still is. The swimming part sucks though.

just_looken1d 19h ago

It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.

just_looken1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...

after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption

But you all will hate this because facts are scary

"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.

From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm

https://www.engadget.com/20...

The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in

Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.

jambola1d 3h ago

Nobody asked about or mentioned revolver
Why are you bringing it up in every reply?

shinoff21831d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Just looken

I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates

Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af

-Foxtrot1d 12h ago

I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
