Probably one of the best articles on Huxley to date, GameSpy has a 3-page preview on offer:Regarding the game's title, you're urged to get over it. Dystopian as its setting may be, the game known as Huxley has next to nothing to do with Brave New World, however tempting such comparisons may be. During candid conversations, however, Webzen employees might admit to you that they had, at one point, toyed with a subtitle that referenced Huxley's novel, but decided against it lest they rouse the late author's possibly-litigious estate. What it is -- or, rather, what its designers are shooting for -- is just that much crazier: the ever-elusive MMO/FPS. A few have tried it, to some degree (Planetside, Neocron), but most will agree that no one has gotten it quite right. The up-and-coming Korean publisher intends to hit the mark, with a little help from Unreal Engine 3. |
