Colony Studios lifts off with sci-fi MMOG

Lamest argument ever? This coming from a guy who uses a He-Man character as an icon? He-Man is LAME... :D

mugimugi is right. "MMORPG = MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE RPG, MMOG = MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME. So they are sure correct." You're wrong, Swampthing.

Not my kind of thing...

Lamest argument ever..

What, no Swampthing, your wrong. With games like Huxley coming out there are going to be MMOFPSs and I'm pretty sure there are a few MMORTSs out there on the internet, I think I remember hearing about a WWII one. So if the company doesn't know what it's going to do then the only logical term would be MMOG, because it might not be a roleplaying game. Besides, it's a acronym people invent new acronyms to make stuff simpler to say all the time.

Sorry, but unless you can provide sourcing for your argument, I stand correct. Show me somewhere else where Blizzard or Turbine have referred to their games as MMOGs instead of MMORPGs. If you can't, then you're just making it up as you go along too.

MMORPG = MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE RPG, MMOG = MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME. So they are sure correct.

What the heck is a MMOG??? The CORRECT term is MMORPG guys, come on.... Where did you get this abberation? WoW is an Massively Multiplayer ROLE PLAYING Game, same with CoH, Lord of the Rings Online, etc, etc. Sometimes shortened as MMO, but NEVER MMOG...

If I can get my internet connection sorted out then I might consider it.

sounds kl, but dont they all at this stage

they do have alot of experience, and have got some seriously great games under their belt

Well since they have so much experience with them they should be able to pull off a decent game.

We'll see what the game ends up being like. I was born in Reno though, cool to hear they have a game development studio there now. :D

MMOG's again.

Finally we might get a decent sci-fi mmo. I'm so sick of all these MMO's coming with the exact same setting. Eve online was too slow and got boring, I loved Earth & Beyond so I hope it's more like that.

Eve was fun back in the day

everyone wants to make their own mmorpg these days.....

Riverwolf007: 2009? Ok, so after it gets pushed back a few times that means what? 2010? 11? lol Knowing most MMO's development schedule, it will be out in 2015.

2009? Ok, so after it gets pushed back a few times that means what? 2010? 11?

@ Willdyer10: then you have clearly not played EVE

cool, sounds like they have an awesome track record w/ games too, just about every famous mmo is on there.

God we don't need any more mmog's

That's neat I guess, but as far as sci-fi MMO's go, my attention is turned completely to the upcoming WH40k game.

Massive Multiplayer Online Game

What does MMOG actually stand for?

Cool, becuse currently there isn't a good si-fi MMO out there.

Very excited, hopefully it will be good. Hoping for a super deep, enormously technical space sci-fi FPS on ground, space sim in space type deal. If it's like that, you've got my 15 a month.

sounds good.........but how does it play.......? we must wait and see.

2009? damn thats far away..... ill stay uninterested until we get some actual details

Never been a fan of the genre, but you never know.

I will be keeping my eye on this...

2009... lemme mark my calendar... or not.

Hmmm interesting...

A good sci-fi MMO would be awesome. Many have tried, and many have completely failed (Star Wars: Galaxies?). Maybe these guys can pull it off. Maybe someone else will. Doesn't really matter as long as someone gets it done.

Sounds like these guys know what they're doin. Hope to hear more info on this project in the future.

Meh. New MMOs always promise great things and rarely deliver. We'll see as the release date approaches.

has a lot of potential by the people behind it.... but it could turn out crud!

kinda vague atm. Im always unsure about new MMOs, want more single player action too!

'looks' like a lot of experience of their hands, ...time will tell what fruits will come out of this company

cool

Cool, I hope there won't be a monthly fee, but there always is.
