It’s been a while since we last saw anything about Huxley. IGN recently came out with a verbose preview, but it’s the video that came with the article that got my attention.

Strangely, this Huxley footage doesn’t remind me of Unreal Tournament 3 at all, unlike what I formerly perceived. I was also surprised to see that the “MMO element” in Huxley looks exactly like your typical MMO (i.e. walking around in third-person). Perhaps the FPS elements would kick in when you get into missions.
Anybody stoked about Huxley?

Aside from a few screenshots I’ve seen here and there, I have never really seen Huxley in action. When a video was released recently, I just had to share it with you folks. You’ll understand why after watching.

The Korean schedule for the second stage of Huxley closed beta testing has just been announced. It will take place from Dec. 13 to 17. Registration for new local testers will begin this month, though gamers who took part in the first closed beta test will be able to participate as well.

For the clueless, Huxley is that gorgeous MMOFPS for the Xbox 360 and PC being developed by Korea-based Webzen. Is it any good? Sadly, I have no idea since I wasn’t part of the closed beta test.

Is it just me, or are the shaders used in the game seem rather “current-gen”? The reflections actually look pretty good, but we’ve yet to see everything put together. Are there post-processing effects? What kind of physics does the game have? Is the level of detail used by Huxley possible in Kwari? Are …read more

It’s been a while since we last heard about Huxley, that über-pretty MMOFPS from South Korea’s Webzen. The latest hype went as far as E3 2006, and perhaps a few sporadic previews here and there. After poking around, I discovered when it’s supposed to come out.
According to the game’s forums, the game is scheduled to begin its close beta sometime between the tail end of 3Q and 4Q 2007. Huxley’s open beta will fall between 4Q 2007 and 1Q 2008, and its commercial launch would be somewhere before the middle of 1Q 2008 to the beginning of 2Q 2008. Got …read more
