Is anyone else concerned about Webzen's line-up of games? SUN was supposed to be out 1st quarter this year, now its backed up to 3rd quarter... that will put its release right around where Huxley's is.
Then you have APD coming out 1st quarter 2007. They supposedly have different studio's working on each of these titles, but is it too much at once? Will Webzen be able to fully support 4-5 MMO's?
I'm a huge Huxley fan, I can't wait for it to be released... but part of me is thinking we will be extremely lucky to get our hands on this game before 2007.
SUN is also posted for a Korean release for 3rd quarter 2006... which means they'll be busy getting it ready for a North American release soon after.
I'd rather a company dedicate its time and resources into one or two games, and then support those few games. Does anyone else have concerns about this?
You wouldnt think a company would create multiple games in a genre that will most likely compete with each other. I think APD will draw a lot of people from SUN + Huxley. Are they going to announce another game after APD??
If they do, part of me doubts their sincerity in fully supporting each of those games, even as they become obsolete because of new games being released.
No doubt Webzen is hitting the MMO genre hard, and they're creating a lot of commotion. I just hope they follow through with each game... and from past experience, that is often the most important part of any MMO.

Financial wise yes i belive they made 13 million in some transaction with China..... so yea they have the money to make them..... and in the eastern gaming markets they will make many times more than they spend becuase Eastern people love their MMO's.....and for the number of people go to webzengames.com look under press.... I dont remember where but i do remember them saying that they have like a large number of employees who work in diffrent departments for games like APB(all points bulletin) SOUL and of course Huxley... so dont worry they got this locked down most likely.  |
I hope so... SUN being pushed back over 6 months to the Q3 (same as Huxley's) has me worried. I think its pretty impossible to get APD out Q1 2007, Im sure that will be pushed back to Q3 2007.
They should scrap all other games and focus on Huxley :P I'll try to remain optimistic.
