More focus on action in Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium
New MMO is more action-oriented
Vigil Games has been talking a bit about their MMO project Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium and how it will measure up other heavyweight MMO titles.
Vigil's Dave Adams said that Dark Millennium will focus much more heavily on action than current MMO titles on the market.
Adams told PC Gamer: "[Action has] just not been a priority for [other developers]. A lot more attention is put into console games: if you sit down and you play an MMO, and you actually compared it to a triple-A console game, a lot of the stuff would never fly."
He added: "A lot of developers see that as an opportunity to cut that corner because theres so much to do on an MMO. They think people care about X, Y and Z. They dont really care about the feeling of the combat. That disparity isn't going to be tolerated for too long: eventually someone's going to do it and everyone else is going to have to follow suit. We want to be those people, and that pushed us toward a more action- oriented formula."
