I was looking at mmorpg.com today and ran across this awesome looking MMO called Black Prophecy. It has an 8.8 user score in gametrailers.com and has pretty good reviews from other gaming sites. Check out some trailers: List of trailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/black-prophecy/9289 Gameplay Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gameplay-trailer-black-prophecy/47772 Beta Signups: http://www.blackprophecy.com/index.php?id=34 it comes out in Q1 2010
Ive been following this for a while, It looks interesting and is meant to go up against jumpgate ( which btw seems to have gone very quiet....), the interesting thing witht his game which jumpgate didnt have is the ability to be on turrets which is always a nice feature on station and larger ships. Though of course the better game would be Infinity online but we will have to wait for that one
Yeah the ability to be on turrents sounds pretty cool imagine having a guild all go into a capital ship and each man some turrents on the ship to attack enemy guild space stations or planets In most of the videos though all that they show are the small fighter planes so it makes me wonder if there are any bigger ships in this MMO. Jumpgate Evolution was another one that I was looking at but I heard bad stuff from the mmorpg.com forum for the game that made me stop tracking the game. http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/262343/This-game-is-dead.html that might be the reason they got all quiet all of a sudden about Jumpgate Evolution
I am in the beta ... its ok pretty poor lag right now so doing missions when others are around or pvp is awful right now the game has some great stuff ... its fun to fly around and blow ships outta the sky I really cant see this game taking off thou ... its very very shallow gameplay wise... after about 2 hours i noticed i didnt do a single thing different then when i first logged in was the same thing OVER AND OVER so i tried the PvP only too find out i just warp around and so does my enemy thus making it impossible to play It is going to be a F2P game so if you wanna compete in the game expect to shell out money for the items in the shop
that is the question sir....... But pretty much since PvP is stop ship and do an instant 180 turn around because you move just as fast turning around while moving as you do not moving PvP is utterly the most boring thing.
