Eye-candy with little or no content is not the future. Sure, it's nice that they are adding better and better graphs to games, but i've always liked Content before Graphics.

 

And a last note, they should really just add a 10metre sword that sticks out his arms and legs and the girls just have a cencorship for their "epic" armor.

 

Cheers

lol!  one of the few mmorpg.com posts EVER to make me laugh from INTENDED humour.

Damn...Look at the tits on those females in blade and soul, getting into the city must be an implant prerequisite. game looks pretty cool in "preview" mode, if you can actually play like that, it would be saweet :D.

Looking at those videos I wold definetly consider playing those games as single player games.  However, there really was nothing in there that showed how the MMO aspects of the games play out.

These games look really impressive but with no info on them we will have to wait and see. They sure as hell look much better than this stuff comming out in the West. Earthrise is the only western game that has me intrested.

Tera looks like a Phantasy Star Online style MMO combat wise.  I LOVED PSO way back when, but I won't pay a monthly fee to jplay an online version of Monster Rancher;)  There needs to be a lot more to it.

Blade and Soul, who the heck knows.  Overly cinematic, EDITED videos don't give me a good idea how the game really plays.  The whole duel thing looked like a game of Tekken=)  How will it REALLY work on a modem?

The graphics & animation for both games are nice, but its typical anime we've seen since time of memorial.  Nothing new to see here.

My only fear is the same as everyone else outside Korea...NCSoft.  They do have a reputation=)  Lousy UIs, too many non english speaking players, and grinds that make WOW and EQ look like kindegarden.

both those MMOs look better then anything else and worth checking.

have an open mind and watch them in HD and tell me those games along with Aion wont kill WoW in Asia at least.

WoW has never been the major player in Asia.  Sure when compared to the numbers of westerners playing MMO's their Asia numbers are huge, but hell, how many people were playing Lineage?  Hell I think Maple Story or some other game like that has more people than WoW does lol.

I feel I am a very open-minded person, but looking at some video's or actually playing it makes a hugh difference TO ME. I simply can not base a opinion on a game only by viewing some movies. It's all about HOW it plays, do you feel the connection to your character when playing?, I feel many game-movie/clips look good, but to me it does not say much about the actual game play. The actuall playing the game experiance is the only thing where I could base my opinion on if a game is good or not, nothing else.
 

Of course I can give a opinion on the clips themself and the combat in those clips look pretty cool.

Personally I don't see those games to be the future of MMO's, but do hope they turn out good/great for those that do look forward to those games.

HEY!!! ya all gotta see more vids then those of tera or blade n soul cuz there are some vids that show off some great combat in both. It would be alot better then posting replies only an idiot would write like half the poeple on this thread so far. Anyway, Tera is gonna own all.period. Also, can someone please samck the idiots that keep complaining about the sexy female outfits. damn homos. lol later back to work for me.

Whilst Korean MMOs tend to have big grinds the following two companies are working on MMOs that break the mold, do new things and try to appeal to the global market more, sort've like how WoW does.

NCSoft: Aion (plays like WoW, no grind), Blade & Soul (action MMO)

Hangame / NHN: Continent of the Ninth (action MMO), TERA (MMO with no targeting / agro)

Anything else from Korea is looking to be the normal grind stuff though.

 

Tera will have no agro? haven' t found information about that.

 

No agro control is probably a better way of putting it. As you can't target the mob you can't taunt it, so the only way to stop it beating on your healer is to make sure you, the tank, stay between the mob and the healer. Collision detection and positioning > generic taunt button.

Ok... still the tank could shout to get the enemy atraction, in a determined radius. Or have they stated there won't be any taunt?

I think I've seen hate auras, the lizard-like tank uses a skill that drops some kind of red dust in a circle around him and the mob turns around, but I've also seen how those lizards stand on the way of the attack and they block it completely receiving a knockback while the casters on the back seem to be untouched.

Looks like they'll use both methods.

I agree that it takes more than a pretty face to be a good game, but man these graphics make for a VERY pretty face.  Thanks for the tip!  I'm definitely trying it.

wow...nice graphics and animations there.

Graphics does not equate to gameplay and content.  Most of the current mind-numbing, totally daft Korean games look marvellous, but I've seen more content in a packet of cornflakes. 

To be honest, the graphics in the video clips don't look much better than the Korean games I've already seen, but the quality of the video wasn't that hot, to be fair.  I still think they'll be just more eye candy when they're released.

You're mostly right, although I kind of wish you weren't. It would be nice if game design and play consistently measured up to appearance.  I have also been disappointed many times that I have tried a game based on the quality of its graphics.  I'll let you know what I think of ths one.  Hope it isn't another disappointment.
