XBLA Zombie MMO

Thoughts?

In all honesty, I don't think a 360 can support all the functions of a good MMO, but from reading it seems as if this will end up being just a taste. Watered down trial version until they can get the resources to build a real one. It looks good, though; I would play it if it wasn't purely for the 360, even though I own one. PC gaming has jaded me for too long, and I haven't touched it in about 6 months.

It's viable to keep a dead rabbit in the glove compartment to take a drink every now and then.

I don't believe in console MMOs that much. Consoles just don't seem to be built for the kind of thing MMO's usualy entail, altough an MMO built for an actual console rather then being split into PC and console might work out.

A console MMO? I don't get why they need zombies. The trolls will be more than destructive enough, you could just focus entirely on base-building and PVP.

There's a reason the 360 has like, one MMO currently: MS are notoriously a pain in the ass to work with in regards to networking, patching, etc. Sony are only slightly better at allowing exceptions to their network rules. That is why almost all MMOs are and will remain PC and or Mac exclusive.  Undead Labs genuinely don't sound like they have any idea what they're doing.
