Amazon Launching New World MMO in May 2020

The online game requires a Steam account, but runs on Amazon's servers, uses Amazon's game engine, and will no doubt have a huge presence on Twitch.

This was delayed to August.

I can't play it. Makes me sick, literally. It is an action mmo type deal and I get motion sick playing it for some reason. I wish them the best of luck though, as it has a decent concept and I think will look good once the glitches are fixed.

I played in the closed alpha beta stuff a while ago (and got a free copy of it). Just felt a lot more like ARK than an MMORPG for my tastes.

ARK?

Hot take: it's going to be garbage. A month before it was supposed to release, they decided to completely rebrand it from a full-loot pvp game to essentially removing forced pvp completely in favor of more PvE content. There's absolutely zero chance they were able to implement compelling PvE content in the span of a few months.

I can see it now - "You have been caught botting. We have suspended your Amazon account and cancelled all orders that have not shipped yet. You may no longer use Prime Video. You will never know who the murderer is on Upload."

ARK?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/346110/ARK_Survival_Evolved/ -- dino survival game. Some folks really enjoy it and I thought it had its moments but never really kept my attention.

That does not bode well. It really did not have an engaging PVE component when I played last...

I see they went the way of Fallout 76...."People are going to love our PvP.....oh wait, no, their not... Time to remake the game."

I feel like canceling my Amazon shipments are a good way to get me to NEVER cheat at your game.

Well snap, I thought the trailer looked good!

Another No Mans Sky sounds like...

I pre-ordered, researched, then cancelled my pre-order. Changing one of the core tenants just before launch seems like a recipe for disaster. I hope it turns out amazing though.
