Games pretending to be MMOFPSes
I have been watching release after releases of bland, dull, unimaginative fps games, with a few gems now and then and i have been noticing those two trends:
-I don’t know if it’s the press or misinformed gamers but i see more and more peoples calling this or that game an MMOFPS.
Last time I checked, an MMO-something, that’s basically a game where large numbers of players can play simultaneously, in the same game world, at the same time. But i see more and more occurrences of peoples calling an FPS a “MMOFPS” because “it has a really big player base” or “there is a level system”.
Sorry but global agenda isn’t an MMOFPS, nor is Modern Warfare 1/2
Now I am wondering, where are all those MMOFPSes? It’s easy to understand that large companies who shell a couple million dollars aren’t going to be real “innovators” and throw innovative games out, but really, Planetside did it very well and still today remain a BIG reference in the little world of the MMOFPSes so what is going o?
Hell aparently the console world got recently a pretty sweet title (MAG) wich seems to fit quite well the MMOFPS definition.
Wouldn’t this be, pretty much a logical evolution? the MMORPG market was extremely juicy and new MMORPGs come out every seasons, exploiting pretty much every single heroic fantasy franchises.
I’m really surprised that pretty much all the large game companies rather shell out yet another clone of counter strike, instead of trying to make a game peoples would want to buy and pay monthly to play.
I just do not understand, or is it that their art department eats so much money that they whip the gameplay together 3 weeks before shipping?
