Terminator MMO being considered by Halcyon Games photo

We already know a little about the upcoming Terminator Salvation movie tie-in being developed by GRIN Studios, but what about the possibility of a Terminator MMO? Could our feeble minds even handle such an awesome concept?

Halcyon Games, a subsidiary of The Halcyon Company who owns the rights to the Terminator franchise, recently hinted at the likelihood of an MMO set in the Terminator universe.

IncGamers spoke with Halcyon Games production executive Mic Rogers about the chance we would see such a project happen, and he replied, "You know what, it's something we've looked at ... and it's an interesting space for sure."

Yes, I fully realize a Terminator MMO may never come to fruition, but it's interesting to daydream about. Being able to pick a side in the human vs. machine conflict would be potentially cool, at least in my mind.

This makes no sense. I could see it as a Halo Wars type RTS but an MMO. WTF would the classes even be, a T-5H4M3N or something. This would just be a major failure.

Who in their right minds would ever be the resistance?

Good point haha. The NPCs could be the humans, I guess.

If you could somehow alternate going between the past and future then the game could potentially be cool.

do these assholes even understand just how much of an investment WoW has been for Blizzard? have they also bothered paying attention to how many other MMO's have come and gone trying (weakly) to duplicate even a fraction of WoW's success?

it never ceases to amaze me, seeing all these "me too" parasites who look at Blizzards success and go "hey, we can do that too! that's easy! every gamer instinctively wants to pay $15 a month, of course!"

"You know what, it's something we've looked at..." yea, i'll bet you have.

Agreed. While I would like to see a sci-fi MMO topple WoW (because Im a sci-fi fan) its simply never going to happen.
