Nether - cataclysm style mmo -zombies
« on: September 17, 2013, 07:00:56 am »

Rock paper shotgun have done a few articles on this now and it looks really good.

The main premise is that it's a survival mmo but not copying anything and is completely it's own thing. You are in a large city and the environment will mostly be urban ( so no long stretches of fields being bored getting from A to B ) and the enemy's are not only other players but demons which can teleport.

Main website: http://playnether.com/

Pc gamer did an excellent first look at the game which describes a lot about it, there is to much to put here, the feature is 2 pages long: http://m.pcgamer.com/2013/08/15/new-survival-mmo-nether-wants-you-to-be-afraid-but-not-alone-in-a-broken-city/

Rock paper shotgun have recently released some videos on it: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/09/17/video-explosion-meet-nether-phosphors-dayz-killer/

I'm really looking forward to the game and have signed up for it already. Seems like we could have something really good here.

I thought the title of this thread meant there were going to be zombies in this game, not realizing you meant minus :P

Yeah I meant that as a minus the zombies haha :P


Also I saw some of the YouTube comments this looks nothing like warZ.


So long as the game is not free to play and you buy it once and that's it I think it will do well I don't really want any microtrans stuff

This looks ambitious. I always severely doubt the dev's team of achieving their goals (See: DayZ) but I'm cautiously optimistic. The dev team seems to take themselves very seriously ... or they paid a good amount for media presentation. Still, curious and will follow it.
