Game Rant Blogger: My Consoles Wants To Raid!

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Two years ago there was an artilce in Game Informer about Cryptic Studio’s MMO called Champions Online. Now I know there’s a lot of MMO out there, but this had two features taht really caught my eye. The first was a MMO in the world of Super Hereos, now I wasn’t a fan of City of Hereos/Villiuans, but when I saw Cryptic Studios (the creators of City of Hereos/Villains) talk about the features they were bringing to this MMO, I was hooked, but alass I’m not too keen on playing anohter MMO on my PC, and that’s where my second part comes in. The Xbox 360, in the article Cryptic Studios confirmed that this MMO would be released on the Xbox 360, and after that news I was hooks. So I watched patiently when the MMO was released on the PC, and waited even more patiently after there was no word on a release date for the Xbox 360, and then I started becoming a little worried by all the problems that were surfacing the MMO start changing billing policies and servers, but I kept hope!

But now Cryptic Studios is confirming that Champions Online, has been officially canceled for the Xbox 360. The studio announced that they would be using their full resources to bringing Champions Online to the PC platform and making it the best title that it could be. And this brings me to my Game Rant: “My Consoles Wants To Raid!” To this day the only MMO title to ever arrive for the Xbox 360 has been Final Fantasy XI, and I’m sorry Amy or any fans of Square Enix’s MMO love child, but this game sucked. There are so many people who play on live, so why not bring a MMO to the players, other than a hgorrible waste of space like Final Fantasy XI. NOw I know that there have been plenty of MMO titles announced as coming, but none ever seem to actually arrive, and this worries me. I want to experience an MMO with my friends over Xbox Live. It’s one thing to play a 10 minute game type for 2 1/2 hours with my friends on Call of Duty, but to people to do a 3 hour raid with friends, now that would be something I’d like to do.
