We're all waiting on the next game that our addiction needs. Which one are you MOST looking forward to?

None. New games suck. The most hyped crap nowadays was already done 10-20 years ago with more polish and taste, just worse graphics.

I'd rather replay 20 different old games like baldurs gate, half life, final fantasy tactics, kotor, vtm: bloodlines, splinter cell, thief, or play on emulators like city of heroes homecoming, Shadowbane emu, p99, etc, than pay for shiny new games that are almost always shells of these classics.

I am not really interested in any of those games tbh.

Pantheon seems the neatest, out of any of them, but after Vanguard and EQ Next, I am not holding my breath.

I no longer look forward to any PC games.

What if I’m here because EverQuest is, in my estimation, the only game worth playing, and the p99 staff do an impeccable job running a server that is helping balance the stress of my RL with fun elf pixels?

I don’t see that as an option. I only see glorification of corporate sponsorship and p2p game design?

Jesus, do you need me to spell this out?

“Why are you here?” 5+ other options, and yet the reason we all ARE here is lumped into “Other?”

You married, by chance?

Yeah, OTHER. You are not wrong with that last sentence. Expect more of the same in the future, this ship ain't turning around. Warren Spector once said that the industry going digital download would free itself and players would see a new age of creativity and daring.

I will pass on HALO doom, just because it has a metal guitar and makes kids feel badass doesn't mean it is. At least they didn't make DOOM guy a chic like they are doing for the new movie.. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw4zNdm8ivI)

They can't even make devils look like devils.

I'm with a lot of folks - the newer games just don't click as much with me. I still raid Tuesday nights in World of Warcraft, but overall feel no desire to log in. Green is itching a lot of those old itches - challenging world content that demands you work with others to survive (especially as a Warrior).

I was honestly so excited about Everquest Next though - the idea of sophesticated learning AI in a sandbox world intrigued the hell out of me. I'm quite saddened they couldn't make it work in the end, but I'm looking forward to the future of MMOs implimenting this kind of technology.

Heh - I was OK with the art direction, as it's reminiscent of Pathfinder RPG but I'd have been fine either way. What interested me far more was the systems that they were working on. Truly next level stuff like learning AI that exceeds its programming and adapts itself based on player actions.

Imagine while camping Orc Highway, you suddenly get flanked from behind by 5 orcs because you just sat there attacking from the same spot, not changing your own tactics - and after 10 orcs getting slaughtered, the Deathfist Chieftain be like: "Something's not right here - scout it out." And you didnt notice the scout they sent from behind you, peeking over a dune, making your position and coordinating an ambush. So in response, you need to start engaging in hit and run tactics to keep killing... and overall as your tactics prevail over theirs, their influence in the zone wanes, allowing the Freeport Militia and the Indigo Brotherhood both to claim the Orc Highway for trade... which then becomes a firebed of activity between the two of them, where players are forced to pick between supporting the Free Port Militia, the Indigo Brotherhood... or even working with the Orcs they were just killing because, well, they're desperate now - diminished in numbers and willing to turn to anyone who'll help them kill their enemies.

This was the kinda thing Everquest Next was promising and I'd have freaking loved it - they probably realized they couldn't deliver however.

The unreleased Warhammer Online MMO promised such stuff too. Such promises serve as alarm bells.

It is - but this kind of innovation excites me all the same. I work in Technology, and I see the innovations that are coming and - in fact - already here in AI... and I know it's only a matter of time before this stuff is adapted into video games, particularly living games like MMORPGs.

Add Tecmos' post to the list of options, and that gets my vote.

I only heard of one of the games on that list anyway.
