GamesRadar: Five Games That Should Go MMO

Have a look at this piece from GamesRadar that discusses 5 of our favorite games that should go the MMO route. I have to give it to them, it's a quality list. Could you imagine a Zelda MMO??

Quote:

Zelda

Why would it be good?
An online Zelda game wouldn't just be a damnably fine experience. It would also solve all of the franchise's problems in one fell swoop.

How would it work?
Beautifully. Think about the set-up of Hyrule as it exists right now. Multiple races with unique abilities, characteristics and territory. Ancient mystical artifacts (read: Loot) scattered about the place as if there's been an explosion in a Holy Grail factory. A whole kingdom perpetually on the verge of geological collapse due to the sheer number of caves and dungeons riddling its make-up. And this MMO-perfect tapestry is lavished upon a single hero on a rigidly linear story path? Wasteful, Nintendo, very wasteful.

Will it ever happen?
Not with friend codes, a lack of Wii hard drive and Nintendo's policy of safe-bet similarity in its Hyrule-based games. But a more online-focused Nintendo would make this one sing.

Yes! the first thing i thought of when i read the title of this thread was Resident Evil! Totally agree. Best MMO ever.

i agree with them for the most part. RE would be great, and they're right that a multi-player end of HL2:EP2 would have been awesome.

My idea? Terminator MMO, where you play either the Machines or the Humans, in the future. I dunno, maybe it's already been done.

Wow, that's actually a really good one Coffee. Terminator MMO would be sweet. It could be like the Matrix, but actually work well.

If they did RE, there should be no rezzing. You stay as a zombie, or make a new character.

I really agree with HL2 MMO, Resident Evil MMO, and GTA MMO. I think that would be stellar.
