I bet this game would be far better as a single-player game. Idea is interesting, but I cannot see it working in MMOG, people grinding for loot and experience points. Thet'll just demean the whole mystical storyline. When the MMORPG fails, I hope these guys will transform "The Secret World" into a real game instead of letting it fade away...

Been waiting for more info on this game.

Hadn't heard anything in a while, I was scared it got canned.

Just because it's an MMO doesn't mean there will be grind. Just look at Guild Wars 1 & 2. It's really the payment option that'll gate people who may me interested in the game (me) from buying it. I just wished more MMOs employed the Guild Wars payment system. Buy the game, just like any other game and have a non-intrusive micro transaction model with it.

As for the vid itself. I'm glad it finally gave us more insight into the Secret World but it was kind of over-shadowed by other releases... like the Thief video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQOFcz7JSts].

So my character grows in power, but doesn't level? Fascinating. I'd like to see how they're going to do that.

But if there are no levels, why would you need experience points?

Seriously don't end on a cliffhanger like that without a proper sequel planned and on the way.

Oh bugger.

When I saw that FunCom logo, the first thing that popped into my mind was, "Ohh, they're finally going to resolve "The Longest Journey". Fuck yeah!"

Disappointment ensued.

Oh well. Whatever this thing is, the aesthetics look interesting and nicely varied. Sadly, the gameplay looks like every other MMORPG ever and is therefore of no interest to me.

Kind of disappointing compared to the original non-gameplay teasers.

The story and setting sounded like a lot of fun, but the combat and gameplay in the new trailer look incredibly generic.

Was also a weird trailer in that it almost seemed like it was put together entirely by the developers, but based on the marketing guy's list of selling points. "Your skill progresses and you go on exciting adventures"? Wow! That doesnt sound at all like every other generic MMO!...

Im hoping its just a generic trailer as opposed to a generic game. Time will tell I guess.

Initial thoughts:

"EA" - Oh...

"Be who you want, play how you want" - I want to be a space fighter pilot.

*Dev's Talking* - This is supposed to convince people to play it??



All in all a rather bad trailer, but despite FunComs failing's I loved AO (my first MMO) and this looks like a very interesting setting for the game so I'm definitely going to try it.

As an MMO, it's very nature makes me skeptical. But it seems different enough to at least have my interest. Let's hear some more about this freedom of development gameplay.

Someone mentioned earlier that this looks like every other MMO (gameplay wise). Maybe. Definitely looks familiar, as far as combat goes. However, if these guys manage to change up something else big enough (like the whole character advancement), then maybe this might be different enough.

Until someone comes out with a mind-blowing, crotch-tingling new MMO, here's to hoping this works.

Now throw in a couple of zombies, and you have everything!

But seriously, this is probably the only MMO ever that piqued my interest...

Ok background for the game looks new (for an MMO) but it's too early to make a call on if it's bad or not. What I fear is that the gameplay with be just like every other MMO and boil down to style and setting preferences. While the chance of disillusionment because they'll fail to make them selves distinctive in gameplay scares me, I'm willing to watch trailers and read a few articles to learn more about it before I make up my mind.

Dammit!

Now I gotta choose between zombies and <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/trailers/2886-Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic-Fate-of-the-Galaxy-Trailer>space combat!

Why does life have to be so hard!

Okay first, we all know EA isn't going to let players actually be free without paying $15 a month. Secondly, this doesn't look much different than Champions Online, just more gritty. Third, the combat looks just like traditional point and click, which is pretty outdated at this point. Lastly, I hate RIFT! I am NOT buying it just because it gets shoved down my throat EVERY FREAKING TIME I turn a movie on! In fact, thanks to that, I'm not buying it period!
