Versus. Planetside clone.

If you read around the site it's exactly the same as planetside with tiny differences. Who in their right mind would do such a thing?

[Hamma]

They are actually PlanetSide players doing that.

Personally I don't think it will work, an MMO supported by the community? Doubtful/

[xmodum]

I might check it out. Sounds ok, though definatley a clone of PS.

[Ghryphen]

If they can do it, all the more power to em. Though even non-mmo community FPS games take forever to develop, IE: Legends, Realm Wars, SS:2845, Ascension....

Most of the ideas I was willing to let go for FREE would have solved the clone problem. But they can suck me for all I'd give them now.

Clone = sci-fi term for "rip-off". Looks like shit. You can take a turd out of the toilet, bake it hard, paint it up pretty, pour some aftershave on it to make it smell nice, but underneath it all, it's still a piece of shit.

I'd laugh my balls off if the creators of Planetside (or even SOE itself) sued them for rampant copyright infringement. "Hacking is a mini-game". Fuckin' moron.

I don't know about you guys, but this sounds pretty awesome.

even the races/factions are basically clones of PS

The Erudite Sodality=Vanu
The Vachir Tanistry=New conglomerate
The Remnant=Terran Republic

coolest thing Ic is player and guild housing...and naval combat sound sweet

edit: The producer cogburn was an old officer from my outfit in my PS days. 666th devil dogs!! And the design/moderator was the 666th devil dogs leader

Yeah that's about the only thing PS doesn't have. And even those ideas aren't original, so I whip out the Hammer of Meh +5.

Apparently, having your own merit and your nose wedged up the developers' asses, plus an article in a gaming magazine, just ain't good enough. What's that song by Incubus? Megalomania?

Yea I remember now, a Devil Dogs production they all quit PS to work on this.

Huxley's gameplay sucks. Its draw is weapons. Aside from that, the game blows fat sweaty donkey cock.

[Phantomgate]

erhm just get Huxley out so I can buy an e-house and go to other peoples e-houses and throw grenades inside.

[LimpBIT]

yea ive heard really bad things about HUXLEYs game play. Sucks...I was really looking forward to it.
