A new, horrible acronym: “CrimeCraft is not an MMO, it’s a PWNS, a persistent world next-gen shooter.” Yeah, he was practicing saying that in the mirror. CrimeCraft is revealed in the most recent of the GDC videos that we expect to keep on rolling in all week. In it the developer explains how the game is a twitch shooter, rather than a standard MMO, only with all the trappings of a persistent world: guilds, shops, character customisation, kill-25-dudes missions, and so on. The shooter aspect of the game means that they’re some classic shooter combat, such as 8v8 domination matches, hitscan weapons, and skill-based play. Interesting stuff, and I’m certain this isn’t the only “PWNS” we’ll see revealed in the coming months.

The interface looks super cheesy.
That’s the first thing I’ll be changin if I play this game…
Whoever above said they are trying too hard, I agree.
Doesn’t this apply to EVERY MMOFPS being made right now? Certainly none of them are trying to hit on the scale of Planetside, unfortunately =/.
Looks cool, I hope it delivers.
This game looks like the club
This looks so much like Gunz: The Duel.
Gunz was actially fun for a while… surürisingly the third person didn’t bother me at all when i played gunz so i wouldn’t be too pessimistic because of it
The way he said “Twitch based [i]so you got to have skill to play[/i]” made me think [i]what a wanker[/i]. Maybe I’m over sensitive. But he [i]is[/i] the guy who just called his game a PWNS. Wanker.
And of course, if they don’t have some seriously hot way (magic, preferrably) of reducing the effects of lag, this game will be useless to anyone without a server in their country. E.g. Australia. U.S. MMO companies, plant some servers in aus whenever you make an mmo pls. It’ll be worth your time and money. I’ll pay you $5/mo to help out, and $10/mo for a subscription. Thx. Joe.
