Those who were once following the game known as DMO were promised that we would see something in e3 this year, even after THQ said it would no longer be a MMO. E3 is basically over, and yet I haven't heard nor seen anything new on DMO. Has anyone else been wondering about this? Is DMO gone? Is it lurking someplace? Also, I'm somewhat disappointed that there was no news from Relic at e3 this year. If you find something, let me know, I'm not the best at hunting down this type of news. Thanks!

THQ didn't make a presence at E3 IIRC.

Probably not. E3 is mostly for consoles at this point anyway.

Which is a little silly I think. Now more than ever they need to be trying to drum up a little excitement for their upcoming titles.

They did show, Darksiders 2 is a AAA title made by the same developer that is making DMO (or whatever the new name will be).

They likely didn't want to put forth a demo or video at this point. People who are made to work on a demo or video aren't working on the game.

They were there, but they didn't do much.

There have been rumors that the game has been shelved in its entirety.

Of course there have, but they're stupid.

The webpage for it has been removed but it still appears on Vigils and THQs sites.

It appears to be out of date on both in regards to information. Hopefully, it's been taken down so they can update it with new and amazing details.

Stupid no. High speculative with no real evidence yes.

Rather amusingly most of the games, certainly the multiplaform ones, being demoed were running on PCs with controllers being 'used' to make them look like they were running on consoles. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06/07/pc-gaming-e3s-dirty-little-secret/#more-110953

To be honest I wouldn't be in the least suprised if the whole thing has been canned. The game was designed as an MMO which play very differently to a single player game and then trying to bolt a single player game on top would have been difficult and would probably have led to a compromised game.

Although apparently Kingdom of Amalur started life as an MMO. I agree though, it would take a drastic reworking before we see anything of it again I should imagine.

Personally, I can't see that it would have been a patch on Planetside 2 anyway. Furthermore, the 40k universe would have been mangled, in essence sprayed pink and photographed on the front page of the newspapers wearing a mankini, by space marines named 'Imelturfacelol' who tea-bag you when they kill you.

I think you DMO lot need to just face facts, its probably not ever coming out as anything. I was really REALLY let down when I heard what they were doing, I even bought a new PC so I could play it....oh well.........

Well I wouldn't give up all hope King. That's what people said about Duke Nukum Forever...

Okay that's a bad example.

Dont worry, maybe it'll be like Team Fortress 2. A completely different game from the original that takes +10 years to make and ends up becoming a F2P hat simulator. Oh I suppose thats another bad example....

Thank goodness Valve cant count to 3

Anyways I'd rather never suffer going through a 40k mmo, than suffer though it and learn that mmos only suck money away from me

I like Valves hat simulator!

I have clocked up nearly 700 hours on it.

The Hatlocaust is a true tragedy

Heh, funny. The first thing I thought of when I saw your avatar for the first time was the heavy from TF2.

CRY SOME MOAR!

You know, for Orks and some Imperials, a game of hats woudl make sense.

Oddly enough, it would. I mean, Retribution had an Orc in a pirate hat, and the Commissars have some pretty good head gear

Burna=Pyro
Kommando=spy
loota=heavy
tankbusta=soldier
flash gitz (?)=demoman
shoota's (?)=snipers
ork speed freaks=scouts
mad doks=medics
meks=engineers

Guys...I think TF2 is perfect for a ork fighting simulator....excluding meele of course (DEMOKNIGHTS!)

Id say the FlashGit would be the heavy, as they are nobz, and therefor take more of a beating and have the badass snazzgunz. And the demoman would be a rokkit boy obviously. Also Id say a Grot would make a good scout, as they both have pistols and grots run fast because they run away from everything. Other then that, I say this is a good mock up

Ew no.

Just put a stormboy there.

Pro Tip: use space marine SDK to release MMO / DH
Problem solved

Herp da derp. Stormboy makes more sense, I dunno why but it never came to mind

If THQ hadn't started to run into trouble, I reckon they would have shown a lot more at E3, also with the trouble they are having and the new president, they are re-thinking a lot. DOW 3 wont appear till much later now. DMO is probably being totally re-thought and so they wouldnt have been able to show it at E3.

They were *so* far along in DMO that CXing it would be a highly rash idea. I think they are waiting for Darksiders 2 to ship, and using that surge of funds to finish DMO

In the end, CXing an MMO in development is less damaging than releasing it only for it to be a financial failure. Vastly so.
