View Full Version : Which genre needs to be exploited more?
Orpheus

Yeah... when it comes to F2P or B2P games, which genre needs further exploiting?
I, for one, am getting somewhat tired of Fantasy MMOs, seriously. In my opinion the one that needs some good exploiting is the Survival/Horror genre. I know some MMORPGs like Exanimus are in the works, but that one will be P2P, from what I know.
What's your opinion on the subject?

Horror ones, there are already some sci-fi's and ...a lot of asian oriental, and fantasy MMO's.
And when I mean horror, I mean, actually SCARY. Creepy, and, sometimes "OMFG" * Falls off seat, terrified*...that kind of scary. Freaking red liquid flying out of bunnies everytime you hit them with a stick = not scary. I see what you did there Requiem, not clever, not scary.

I think it would be fun to have a game where the whole world is a city, and you have to fend for yourself against thugs, etc.
I guess like CoH/CoV, but I've never played those games.

Yeah... Requiem went more towards Gore, instead of true Horror and the like.
Scary looking creatures won't do it either, what they need is to make a game with a good feeling of dread, you know, with the right atmosphere. I think something with the mood of Fatal Frame would be nice enough, of course, with guns and stuff instead of cameras.

I agree on the horror theme, but something ala chtulhu stories, SP 1 does a similar thing but I heard it's a typical korean grinder with just the "horror" theme and that's it, could be wrong tho
but one thing they should STOP USING FOREVER it's both asian and anime kiddy retarded style, I'm fucking sick of those

there needs to be more mmorpg's with traps like you fall in a whole with spike in it or some boulders come dropping on your head and kill you they dont put any traps in mmorpgs just bombs u can place. yea they are lacking on horror the most out of the mmorpg's. i want to see zombies and stuff like i seen on elder scrolls oblivion coming out of dark areas out of know where.

theres one very close to this what you said it was called ww2 online know it called battleground europe. its basicaly mmofps becouse its 1 map the map is as huge as europe is in real life its litteraly take you the same amount of time to travel across that map as it would to travel across europs map.allied vs germans has huge towns more then 5x bigger then any town in any mmorpg and its basicaly like having all the equipment you had in ww2 all the types of tanks,planes,boats,aa,at,and transport vehicles all the vehicles when you use them are like there own simulator its awsome. once 1 side take the whole map over ussualy takes month or way more depends how the battle goes then map starts over. all your kills stats are recorded forever.

That's actually the prob. a little more than half of the MMO makers don't try to make new type of MMOs. Instead of making a sci-fi MMO, comical MMO, or Urban themed MMO, and willing to attempt to make it 3D and fast-paced, all those MMO makers do, is keep making Fantasy MMOs that are all the same, have to play as either one color of human or a elf, and they always make it a point in click.
Enough! We already have more crappy and grindy Fantasy MMOs than necessary. I feel like it's time for something new.

horror and i mean survival mmo type horror the ways in which companies could use this to their advantage is just crazy.... i always wanted to try capcoms resident evil outbreaks online but purchased a copy well after the servers shut down (for what reason i really dont know) but yeah survival horrors with nice next gen graphics bla bla bla would be awesome i really hope capcom try something like that again

06-22-2008, 02:21 AM
the problems is : will people actually play it ? will there be a high enough popularity ? that why there not much of those games people tend to stick with the fantasy genre ex: WAR(coming soon) , WoW , Rohan etc. Im not putting requiem in this list its closer to urban like i said but w/e.
so yeah they think its a risk to launch a new theme mmo to the market.

well you have to kill off the towns defences wich every town has posted ai so you cant just run in and take it. you have to set a mission wich can be called a quest in order to get rank. rank can be considered lvl couse the higher rank you have the more command you have and other vehicles. rank is a grind in the end but thats last ranks. yea. so ai can be considered monster,missions looked at like quests, and grind can be considered geting your rank up. yea all while holding gun or what ever you are at the time.

you aparently havent played enough fps to see the difference. theres slim to none fps that let you fight with over 500+ people on the map of europe its the actual map of europe real towns of europe. you need to play this game then talk. ive played lots of fps and liked them but there still jsut another fps this one is by far more advance and has mmorpg content/affect put into it. im not gonna argue with it about it anymore. just another fps is 30/60 players server based fpsgame.play it then talk to me again.

Yup. It's all about the sound effects, the music, the mood of the game. I think that in order for a MMORPG to be really scary, it MUST have a First Person interface, seriously. I mean, not knowing what is lurking behind you? Hearing footsteps or dripping sounds on your back while exploring a dark hallway with just a flashlight? Now that's real horror. Heck, the monster's don't even need to be all mutated and with 104 eyes and tentacles to be actually creepy.

They need MMOFPS. Something like Warrock but EVERY player is in 1 gigantic map. There are two factions; the dark side and the light side. There will be jets, helicopter, boats. submarine, tanks, motorcycle, futuristic weapons that shoots lasers, rockets, grenade launchers, snipers, hand grenades, mines, etc... Monsters will roam the world. (No, there is no specific spawn point for the monsters. They just walk around wherever they want.) You get exp by killing mobs or players of the other faction. Each level up gives you a skill point in which you can invest. Four category of skills include Flight (jets, helicopter, spaceships, etc...), Vehicle (tanks, motercycle, etc...), Water (submarine, boats, battleship, air carrier, etc...), and Foot (weapons and armor upgrades)
To sum it up. Just think of Warrock but every player is one gigantic battlefield. Better yet, just think of modern war in real life but with monsters roaming the world.

what they need to do is make a horror fps mmo......not like tabula rasa or faces of mankind but something where you play in fp perspective but you can change it to 3rd person and the game takes place in several countries in the world.....so you go around town meeting people(actual players and npcs) get certain quests, then you and the people that are exploring together go do the quest....the quest will be instanced so that way they can focus on better questing......now during a quest the gameplay will be similar to re4 or condemned 2 just with other people...and the areas would be huge so that way they would require you to split into groups to explore the area then youd be able to use a headset on the pc to talk through an in game walkie talkie.......man that would be full of win

Agree on Survival/Horror as well. I kind of want a MMO where you just shoot zombies for the sake of human survival or something... (and it has to be WAY better than DarkEden -_-, just make it FPS) whatever. lol. Just shoot or cut crazy scary stuff similar to in Resident Evil with any weapons we possibly can think of.
Hmm.. genre using American Revolution period isn't really that exploited either. The closest game I can think of is Sword of the New World. Somehow they never make games where you get rifles/pistols that need to get reloaded after every shot or something =p. That combined with fantasy game should be pretty nice.
Hmmm.. genre using Jurassic Age or whatever? We don't really have a game that has a dinosaur theme somehow; not even Jurassic Park Online. I thought dinosaurs are pretty popular? lmao The closest I can think of is Stone Age 2?
I always wanted a sci-fig game where you can be a as small as a fighter pilot to as big as a carrier or battleship commander; and the game should play somewhat like a combination of MMOFPS + MMORTS. Perhaps something like X3: Reunion series but instead make it MMO? Not to mention, there are not enough MMO that you can travel outer-space freely (if at all), to be honest =/.
Oh, also modern age genre. Not the FPS modern combat theme, but gang fight theme where you just be a normal gang member, or own lands, build stuff, recruit thugs, fight the other gangs, etc. There was one really old game called Nage or something that has that kind of theme, but I think that was it. Looking for something similar to GTA but MMO version. Hmm.. is GTA 4 MMO or what?
So yeah. I probably don't have the best ideas around (if not the worst anyway); just kind of pointing out what kind of game themes I feel are lacking in the MMO market.

I guess it would be really hard to create a horror/survival MMORPG, since the normal survival/horror game example "Doom,Fear etc" is kinda successful since you are alone which makes it more scary. How would you like to play a horror game with 500people with flashlight walking thru a creepy tunnel feels, den you alone walking thru it with the same conditions. Anyway thats my opinion. :)

You know the idea of a horror working would be nice. I mean think of it this way, yoiu all have flash lights, but so do some of the monsters. Sometimes it will be a monster that will come close to killing you because it slashes your neck sometimes it will just be another human scared and attacks you wildly that scares you. So I guess they could add a good amount of horror into a game. Problem is for it to be good it would have to be rated M and then it wouldn't get as much buyers.

I just thought probably worst possible genre for mmorpgs. Underwater sea mmorpg. You fight the enemies with watertrident and the enemies would be sharks, fishs, clamps, everything underwater. Tho the cool feature would be this could be totally something like space-fighter mmo just underwater, you can move every direction, not just back, forward, left and right. But seriously something like space fighting mmo would be cool. Where one needs tactics, and like strategy to drive enemies to mine-fields etc. The range of the weapons just would needed to be somewhat gapped. Like not that you see one enemy 4 lightyears away and you could just blast it off.
Also not so much of genre, but idea what i would once like to see in mmo. In ancient game like chrono trigger there were combo skills, where you needed like 2 to 3 guys perform a single powerful attack. This could be made use somewhat like usage of weapons. Like you could dual wield a fire staff and ice staff then make spells that use both of the elements. Or maybe you could like cast fire-spell on party member and next skill is going to use the fire spells power that was casted upon. For example you cast fire buff on monk, monk casts next shield on all players ---> it becomes fire-shield.
