Huxley is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooting game (MMOFPS) developed by the H-Studio of global online entertainment company, WEBZEN Inc. Huxley takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and are divided into two opposing races, Sapiens and Alternative. At the center of the battle for survival is Lunarites, a promising new energy source that both sides seek to obtain. Forced to battle against one another for the continuance of each race, Sapiens and Alternatives are willing to do whatever it takes to wipe out the conflicting race and gain control of the world and its resources.

In near future, Nuclearites bombard the World. Destructive earthquakes, massive tidal waves and dramatic climate changes wreak havoc around the globe, isolating continents and driving the human race into chaos. Those who survive the destruction dream of tranquility, but an eruption among the human race and the appearance of horrible mutants drives the world into further disorder. Racism and oppression cause rebellious uprisings and war that divide the landscape between two powers: Sapiens and Alternative, At the heart of the war emerges a powerful energy source the Lunarites created by Huxley, a scientist and possible savior.

Both factions seek glory and victory, fighting mercilessly for the Lunerites and their very existence.

I saw a video for this couple of months back, it's one I will definatly be getting my grubby little fingers on!!
 
" Huxley is a massively multiplayer online first person shooting game utilizing the UNREAL3 engine to create a world of up to 5,000 players in the same gaming environment. Huxley takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where human beings have mutated and are divided into two opposing races, Sapiens and Alternative."
 
From what I understood from reading about it, it's more like Guildwars, in that it's not truly massively multiplayer - only in the common areas, whereas the actual battlefields will be limited to 64 players.

Hope I'm wrong :(
 
I was really looking forward to this (coming up to 3 year veteran of PS and still going strong)However, anyone who plays planetside will shudder at these words on the Huxley site:

Instanced

PvE

Quests


For non PS players let me give you a quick idea, you can make a spanking brand new player, jump on a shuttle and be in the big fight (350+) killing 3 yr vets as long as you have the skill, it's not down to who grinds the most. No crapy instances, it's all out war, no PvE, every soldier / tank / airplane / buggy you drop has someone on the other end.

Which sadly is why Huxley doesn't seem to be the "new" PS, many current PS'ers will not enjoy the RPG part, you should see the flaming that occurs on the official forums when any RPG (WoW , Guild wars etc) gets mentioned :p
 
PvE could work if it was co-op style but instances and quests? It is a Korean company making it so I suppose they had to get the boring-ass levelling grind in somehow. It's like one of the two things that all Korean games must have, factory conveyor belt style mob killing grinds and gratuitous upskirts on the female models.

Can't really condemn it until I've played it though. Could be alright if they keep the focus on PvP.
 
Huxley looks absolutely amazing, someone posted a link about it on the Jolt forums today, the video blew me away. I hope this is released soon.
 
Have been following this for a while.

Im worried that while you are just strolling around that there is no fighting though. Obviously you need safe zones, but i dont want to go to special bit just to fight, i want to be attacked while walking through some forest or something, bit like wow, but with guns and more fun
