For every gamer out there that loves hardcore console games but wishes that there were more MMO-type games for consoles, here is a list of MMOs that fit that profile and should be on game consoles.
When Console Games And MMOs Join Hand-In-hand
There are always a lot of MMOs out there for gamers to play, whether they are casual or hardcore. Some of those games, though, seem like they may have been designed for a broader audience…perhaps, a console audience? Well, this is a list of MMO games that should be on game consoles but aren’t. And just so you all know, All Points Bulletin by Realtime Worlds is not on this list because it’s already planned for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 after the team sorts out the PC version and fix post-release bugs. So, with that out of the way, let’s get to the Top 5 MMOs that should be on game consoles starting from least-likely to most-likely.
No. 5: GunZ: The Duel
Also known as GunZ: International to the non-Korean community, GunZ: The Duel is a Korean-based third-person shooter by Maiet Entertainment. The game allows players to engage in standard-fare PVP and perform quests against NPCs. It’s an awesome game that features upgradeable weapons, clothing and items, as well as persistent characters that rank and continue to grow strong with consistent play. The real highlight of GunZ is the ability to utilize Matrix-style shootouts; players can run on the walls, run up the walls, dive, dodge, and even perform a series of complex sword-fights using a feature that’s called Butterfly-style. It definitely has a lot of potential for appearing on the consoles and would make a great addition to either the Xbox 360 or PS3's library.
No. 4: Fallen Earth
Developed by Fallen Earth (and yes the developers have the exact same name as the game), Fallen Earth is a really cool mixture of post-apocalyptic adventuring and dystopian conditions with a little bit of that good ‘ole Mad Max vehicular traveling. It’s an epic-scaled MMO that features intense real-time shootouts, multiple factions and quests to partake in, vehicle customization and a robust crafting system. It’s a lot like Fallout 3, which is already on the consoles, but takes the concept to a bigger, more player-manifested scale. One of the things that would definitely make this stand out on game consoles is that there aren’t many futuristic, craft-heavy multiplayer games on consoles that allow players to traverse the world in customizable vehicles (or horses). Yes, there is the recently released Borderlands by Gearbox that fits into this description, but other than that gamers are fresh out of games that fall into this category. Added to this, it would definitely give gamers something original and unique to play that’s usually relegated to a single-player experience.
