    Geez, this game looks like it took the worst parts from WoW (the mechanics) and the worst parts of EVE (space ship setting, god awful combat) and forced them to marry each other.

    Ummm, eww.

     

    Like the other guy said you pilot your own ship 

    The combat seems very Freelancer-like

• • Do any MMOs make you feel like a hero?

  • Well, its all up to your imagination. City of Heroes gets the award for really *trying* to make me feel like one. The NPCs even walk around town speaking of your deeds

    Did I feel like a hero though? meh, I just dont know. Not really from what I can remember.

    I jsut remember standing there thinking it was all just a setup. If I didnt help that lady get her purse she would just sit there and fight forever with the fake thug NPCs. If I intercede and save her, then a moment later I see that same lady/citizen fighting again with the thugs.

    It always seemed fake too me.

    I felt like a hero in many single player games you know but not really in an MMO in PVE ever

     

    Now in PVP I've felt like a hero when I've helped friends get revenge on a griefer.

    APB is not developed by a major AAA company, its actually a company that was created for the project. Later on though, they negotiated a deal with Webzen for a distribution.  So this grand theft auto wannabe mmo, will definitetly have a chance out there. It is an indie production though.

    Im working for an indie myself, on a sci-fi project that will have no levels, but a lot of action, a lot of history and background, there are no "kill 10 genetic pink bunnies" missions either.

     

    I'd consider Realtime studios much more major then some garage developer. Realtime studios is proven; Crackdown xbox360 for example. I firmly disagree on calling them "Indie".

    Do you guys call any studio that developers a game "Indie" all because they are not owned by a publisher? So was Bioware "Indie" before they were picked up by EA? Is Id software "Indie"?

    No because there's no such thing. MMORPG's emulate real world life in a fantasy world. Real life is a grind and so are MMORPG's. Deal with it or play something else or die.

     

    He said 'MMO' not 'MMORPG'. For instance, I'd imagine an MMOFPS would have minor rpg elements (like FPS games already have). An MMORTS would be focused on taking over the world or whatever. So forth....
