Warmonger, a PhysX powered FPS/MMOFPS in development over at NetDevil made a big splash at GDC and today sent out a batch of ten new screenshots for players to look over.
WarCry met with Huxley rep Jason Wonacott at GDC 2007 to get a look at this MMO-FPS hybrid that the Korean publisher hopes to bring to the PC later this year and the Xbox 360 in 2008. Huxley remains in the running to be the first new MMO on the 360 (a competition likely to be fought with Funcom's Age of Conan) and offers a unique blend of map-based online FPS and single-player FPS in an post-cryptically MMO wrapper.
So how did it look? The art looked polished as it always has and reassured me that a game with that kind of visual depth can work. Webzen promises PvP maps that range from 1v1 to 100v100. The gameplay itself is the usual map-based FPS fare with an MMO twist, as one would expect.
In the PvP maps, they have games that fans of the genre will recognize. The key difference is that this game takes the "unlocks" of games like Battlefield 2142 to the next level. Like most MMOs, players pick a class (Enforcer, Avenger or Phantom) and then equip themselves. In more of an FPS-bent though, their typical FPS skills are linked to the equipment their character has earned. Each piece of equipment provides the character with additional ability slots, up to a maximum of five per battle. Players then must carefully select which abilities to bring in.
