ArcheAge Chronicles - coming to PC/PS5 in 2025

[ADL]

Unreal Engine 5-based looks pretty good.
I liked the first game during the closed beta before they ruined it with their pay2win bullshit business model. Hopefully the monetization is better this time around :^)

Kakao publishing, will need it to be a success in the West after they lost their Black Desert Online cash cow.

Going to be a disaster area. Unreal Engine is apparently utterly unfit for MMOs as the networking architecture is totally insecure.

The last MMO I played using UE was just fine. I don't think there's anything keeping them from using a custom solution.

Yes, but keep in mind: The ORIGINAL ArcheAge was ALREADY a disaster for its security problems. Given that they committed numerous fouls in the field of MMO development that someone with even a cursory understanding of these kinds of things wouldn't have done, it's very unlikely things will have improved: Obviously they're just going for a lazy off-the-shelf solution...that will contain all of the problems.

Given the disaster that was the first game's monetization, I'm not hopeful for the sequel's either.

Now ArcheAge Chronicles, coming in 2025

At first glance, it looks good. The animations seem a bit clunky or slow at times, like the run, or the violet sword attack that seemed to hit the girl but didn't, nevertheless I would be interested to see more of it. Especially proper gameplay with UI, standard attacks and skill activation.

Yet even if it would work smooth and well, I doubt it will turn out good. As always, they will fck up the monetization. Greed is too strong in big companies that attempt to make MMOs.

Hyperactive as fuck—couldn't even watch the trailer.
