Mutant Chronicles MMORPG on the way

[ -> N/A]

I've never actually heard of this series before, but apparently "The Mutant Chronicles universe has spawned role-playing games, collectible card games, comic books and miniatures wargames in more than 17 languages all over the world." Fair enough then!

So, Mutant Chronicles. Now there's a new MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game, for those of you "not in the know") version of the "post-apocalyptic techno-fantasy" game coming along. It features:<blockquote><li>Gothic techno fantasy look and feel- with design of environments following original MC ilustrations</li>

<li>Combination of "magic" and technology</li>

<li>Overall "dark" and apocalyptic mood of the game</li>

<li>Created "by gamers for gamers"- with keeping computer game as close to original as possible</li>

<li>25 huge levels with most realistic graphic ever possible in online games (thanks to special server architecture we can easily handle realtime gameplay and advanced RPG back-end without loss of speed).</li>

<li>Dynamic quest generator</li>

<li>Players actions influent political connections between various fractions (corporation policy changes are dependant from player's choices)</li>

<li>Free character creation and development</li>

<li>Vast arsenal of original MC weaponry, brought into the game with all details and their influence onto gameplay (weight, damage, ammount of ammo etc)</li>

<li>Dynamic character assigment system ( no stiff assigments to one fraction - player can "switch" from one corporation to another)</li>

<li>Player designed quests and tasks</li>

<li>20 customisable and interchangable and 28 unique (special character type) character models.</li></blockquote>By gamers for gamers? Blimey, that sounds familiar.

Special thanks to the #1 MMORPG fan, Saint Proverbius, for passing this along!

Doesn't interplay have a trademark on that sentence? They should sue!

Although not in a OMG WILL KILL FOR THIS GAME (like Dynasty Warriors 4, for instance) way, I would very much like to at least try this game. It looks cool, but less in a Fallout way and more in a...I dunno, cyberpunkish way.

bah! they had to make it an MMORPG didn't they? If i pay for the game, i'm not paying $$ every month just to keep playing it. My friend used to play the Mutant Chronicles pen & paper RPG before it went out of print, he says it's pretty badass, so who knows, it might be a good game.

I'm guessing 'Australian' wasn't one of those languages they translated it to :lol:

Various fractions?
What's a fraction?
Like in math?

Hey wow! This game has the most realistic graphic ever! Pity it's only one realistic graphic. I suppose the rest of 'em are kind 'a fake looking.

And one... and two... and one... and two... Don't stop now!! Just 50 more star jumps to go! And one... and two...

Hmm, I played Doomtroopers CCG as a kid, I think it belonged to the Mutant Chronicles, as well as that Warzone tabletop game

Well, on the other hand they haven't used that motto in their latest games so I guess they don't care.

The game very interesting so far. The graphics look nice and atmospheric, the character models look original and a bit old timish, in a good way. The only bad thing is that it's an MMORPG, which is something I'll never waste my money at.

I've always assumed all game designers/programmers/artists/developers etc. have a appreciation for games. I mean, if they didn't then why the hell are they doing what they are doing? For the money?

It may not be that popular, but I love the series. Doomtrooper was related. The novels were pretty good, but the first in the series was one of my favourite books. Not all that fallout-related though, as it's pretty much straight sci-fi with some cyberpunk.

There are:
"Mutant Chronicles" PnP RPG
"Warzone" tabletop battle game
"Doom Trooper" and "Dark Eden" CCGs.
