MMOHut Weekly Recap #87 May 27 – Born to Fire, Bullet Run, Marvel Heroes, & More Posted: 30 May 2012 03:49 PM PDT A quick look and discussion for every major announcement and update during the week! This week we discussed updates from the following games: Born of Fire, Bullet Run, Marvel Heroes, World of Warplanes, League of Legends, Digimon Masters, World of Tanks, Brawl Busters and Mythos Global. The biggest news this week comes from Gazillion Entertainment regarding their upcoming super hero mmo titled Marvel Heroes. The game was first announced over a year ago but just recently the first gameplay trailer was released. The games storyline is being written by one of the official writers who wrote The Ultimate Spider Man and The New Avengers.  Currently it doesn’t appear that you will be able to make your own custom super hero but instead must choose from one of the iconic Marvel heroes. For some reason that makes me feel like the game might have a more Diablo/Path of Exile feel to it where the character is preset but customizable through loot and power selections. You can view all the individual news articles mention over at the MMOHut.com News section.

Path of Exile Early Look at the Shadow Class (High Level) – Gameplay Commentary Posted: 30 May 2012 03:26 PM PDT To Learn More About the Game, Check out our Path of Exile Page. Path of Exile is a 3D Action RPG MMO published by Grinding Gear Games. It’s play-style is very similar to games such as Diablo and Torchlight. Unlike other games in the genre however, players are not bound by the specific class they choose at the start. Instead after choosing their class, they can freely choose skills and most weapons (depending on initial class) to suit their play-style. This allows them to completely change how a certain class is played. Path of Exile uses an enormous passive skill tree that allows players to fully customize their character’s stats. In this video we get an early look at the Shadow class, the newest class available in PoE. The Shadow class uses Dexterity and Intellect to deal out quick strikes while also laying down traps and debuffing enemies in large aoe areas. To learn more about Path of Exile out the official MMOHut Path of Exile page which includes a detailed review, tons of screenshots, and additional videos.

Realm of The Titans Gameplay (Its back) – HD Commentary Posted: 30 May 2012 03:12 PM PDT     To Learn More About the Game, Check out our Realm of The Tians Page. Realm of the Titans is a 3D Moba style MMO published by Aeria Games – the same company behind Eden Eternal, Grand Fantasia, Shaiya, Last Chaos, Lime Odyssey Online, Metal Assault and numerous other titles. As a Moba style game, Realm of the Titans plays a lot like League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and Rise of Immortals. The game doesn’t have nearly as many playable heroes as League of Legends, but does have several unique features which some fans of the genre may really like. To learn more about Realm of the Titans check out the official MMOHut Realm of the Titans page which includes a detailed review, tons of screenshots, and additional videos.

Exclusive Heroes and Generals Gameplay – First Look with Developer Commentary Posted: 30 May 2012 02:51 PM PDT To Learn More About the Game, Check out our Heroes & Generals Page. Heroes & Generals is a 3D MMOFPS published by Reto-Moto. Heroes & Generals is a unique blend of MMOFPS and MMORTS games. The game world is persistent, which is generally not done for an FPS game. Players may specialize their character to become a war hero on the front lines, or pursue the path of strategy as a general. The action content allows players to ride in vehicles and planes, in addition to being on foot. Both game modes are interconnected; what happens in the action mode carries over into the strategy mode, allowing players to keep tabs on things like supply-lines and production. In this video I interview the game director and find out just what Reto-Moto has planned for this unique shooter. To learn more about Heroes & Generals check out the official MMOHut Heroes & Generals page which includes a detailed review, tons of screenshots, and additional videos.

Clash Of The Capitals Begins In Juggernaut Posted: 30 May 2012 11:42 AM PDT Mail.Ru has announced a new event for Juggernaut players. The twin cities of Britzoli and Rockfort have been rediscovered, and adventurers are being called to help retake these cities from encroaching forces. New trade routes have now appeared, and players must choose one of these factions by speaking with Captain Roqul or Captain Tribus to sail the seas and face new adventures as they seek to reclaim the lost cities. Mail.Ru also publishes RiotZone. Juggernaut Gameplay Screenshot Source: JUGGERNAUT UNVEILS CLASH OF THE CAPITALS Britzoli Versus Rockfort: Who To Choose? Hamburg, May 30, 2012. Leading publisher Mail.RU Games announced today the rediscovery of two thriving cities in their successful Free-to-play role-playing game, Juggernaut. Warriors of Haradan are preparing to trek to these cities in droves, but be prepared to defend yourself! Juggernauts can head over to www.juggergame.com where players can register and play for free.   Juggernaut is a world where myths come alive, where the truth can be more fanciful than rumor. The taverns and marketplaces are abuzz with the most exciting news: explorers of two factions have re-discovered twin cities, Britzoli and Rockfort, and have called back to the Haradan mainland for assistance in re-taking the capital cities from encroaching forces.   For many difficult months, the cities of Britzoli and Rockfort have been cut off from the rest of Haradan society. News from the two metropolises hardly ever reach the mainland, and both Arq and Kraen’s fates were uncertain to their followers. Scouts were sent to find alternative routes to the two cities, and now parties have successfully created new trade routes!   Adventurers are flooding to return to the two capitals, though returning these cities to civilization won’t be without a fight. Choose a faction by speaking with Captain Roqul or Captain Tribus to begin your adventure. Both await to ferry warriors across the dangerous seas, and face enemies both on the water and after landing. Bloody battles await, and decisions must be made: whose side are you on?

MapleStory Passes 35 Million Character Mark Posted: 30 May 2012 11:01 AM PDT Nexon America has announced that in addition to passing 9.2 million registered users, MapleStory has also seen over 35 million characters created. MapleStory is in the middle of celebrating its seventh anniversary in North America, including a “Class Reunion” event on June 1 and a Bounty Hunter event starting June 6. Nexon America CEO Daniel Kim commented on the latest success: "We have amazing players. The number of characters created tells us that a lot of our players have taken advantage of the depth and richness 'MapleStory' delivers. In 2005, when we first introduced the 'MapleStory' into the North American market, our free-to-play model was quickly written off by many in the gaming industry as an Asian model that will 'never work.' It was obvious after we quickly added millions of loyal and enthusiastic players to our customer base that free-to-play would work in North America. I believe that 'MapleStory's' performance convinced many in the West to adopt a similar free-to-play business model." Nexon also publishes Mabinogi and Dungeon Fighter Online.
