Come On Huxley, Where Are You?

[H0PE]

Guys any news any real news about this game? Its stay too quiet now for months.

ut 2k7 will be out soon in a few months, or at least in the finished state even if they market it in next year we all know that its because if window vista. They want to market it after the new next gen os/hardware. But still I expect something news if there is anything going all at all. I believe they having issues with the full-scale combat thingie. I'm playing mmorpg, World of Warcraft. The servers cannot really take the big crowd lets face it! And wow phisics are totally under the bottom compared to the unreal 3 phisics. So I say that they are quiet because they have big issues with the server-side. Just a thought really but nothing is there to prove me wrong. :\

im wondering the same thing, anyone got a release date for 360 at least?

[brycenation]

Hey man. no ones sure about a release date . Its a question many people ask when they join this forum and alot of the time get abuse for it which is uneccessary. After reading other forums and previews etc the best guess for me would be around q2 if were in good time for pc and about q4 if were in good time for xbox 360, but with the lack of information leaking from the creators of huxley its hard to know

Actually ut2007 is probably 6-8 months away still.

And since Huxley is being developed by a company with less Unreal Engine experience, that started on the game later, and are trying to build a new style of game, it's pretty reasonable that it would take them quite a bit more time than it's taking Epic to create UT2k7.

In other words, there's no reason to be worried in my opinion. They may have jumped the gun and released too much stuff too early, creating a gap in the hype for awhile, but as the Unreal 3 engine games get closer to release (and thus people start upgrading for the engine) you can bet they'll ramp up the real marketing.

I don't think Vista won't have much of an effect on game releases in general, because DX10 isn't going to be entirely relevant for awhile, and RAM is the most likely upgrade that people will grab to go along with it. It's most likely that early U3 engine games will only be DX9 compatible but will be patched later after release for DX10 (like ut2004 sorta-was-but-then-wasnt-really with 8/9).

actually on play.com it says the release date is the 5/1/2007 for 360 which roughly gives some guidelines to when it comes out and i cant wait for it either

that for unreal tournement 2007 ????? if so EYOY

[Detnation]

wow i can't wait till unreal 2k7 shall be amazing cause they all are. and that would be sweet if it came out then.

Play.com doesn't know any more than the rest of us.

All anyone has to go on are interviews and press releases. And now there's supposedly an interview where some Epic employee that I've never heard of claims it could be as late as "Early Q3" of 2007... although I have no clue if it's reliable or not.

Point is, U3 engine games are still pretty far off. You don't get anxious for your birthday when it's still 8 months away.

speeking of engines ... Anyone seen demo of the cry engine 2 ??? its alot better then cry engine 1 .. Loving how the branches on the trees actualy move and the soft shadowing etc

As far as I'm concerned, they can make an engine look good all they want, but if it doesn't run efficiently within a large window of hardware, then it's pointless.

[brycenation]

feels like huxley doesnt actualy exist right now for me haha. I been watching those traliers so much . No new topics posted on these forums for days huxley please make ur official site soon

[Spec260]

Im dieing for some new info on this game, need a new mmofps game bad lol. I have played neocron and planetside to death and dont care for the fantasy mmogs.

[Guyver]

I think it is best not to reveal anymore info. Maybe they can release more weapon and vehicle info. But not race and gameplay. That way we cans till having a craving for it.

[lenson]

Im skeptical about that release date. We could be looking at early 2007 before it makes it onto xbox360 at least. The pc version is likely to make it out sometihng like 6 motnhs before xbxo 360 version. Plus webzen has got lots of work to do on this game in the mean time if they want to fulfill all the details they have given us on the game so far.

Don't forget to take into account marketing.

I'm sure Epic (and their publisher, Midway) are talking with Webzen (is Webzen dev and publisher for this or what?) and keeping an eye on what's happening. There's no way they would want to release UT2007 and Huxley within the same 4 to 6 week period, because the marketing hype for 1 would be competing vs that of the other. They would also be competing for the same spending dollar. On the other hand, if UT2007 comes out, say, May 17th, and Huxley comes out around July 20th, they're not competing as directly, and both stand to benefit in the long run.

(those specific dates were more or less plucked out of nowhere, although from what we know they might be reasonably close to what happens)

True, and indeed webzen waiting even later might be even more beneficial to them. And I could be just talking out my a$$ here, but webzen might want to wait later than ut2007 to gauge peoples reaction to the new unreal 3.0 engine. (Not that there should be any doubt that it will be spectacular)

Though I am truly worried about the progress Huxley is making (I REALLY want this game to shine!) now. I have to say right now I am not so worried being a console guy with two new consoles coming in about a month I am going to be stocked full of games for atleast a couple months. So trully I am not worried.

Now the absence of advertising or releasing of info is most likely forshadowing, though if I were the boss I would of killed the lead of advertisement for giving us as much as he did within a two month period because now they have nothing "expendable" that they can tell us without us pissing our pants over. I think they want to preserve a wow factor for when the game comes out, advertisement obviously didn't help with that factor. So now they are stuck in the wierd limbo in the middle where they want to keep the gossip alive and teeming with life, but does not want to give away something so amazing that we can't stop talking about it and when the game comes out we just take it at face value instead of pausing the screen and running around outside screaming about how awesome the game is and you never expected it to be this good.

im worried aswell. where the **** is this official site that is supost to be coming out in fall acording to webzens huxley page. On webzens APB page it also says theres not an official site out yet for APB when there is !!!!. for all we know there could be a huxley one and we wont even know
