It seems to be that a lot of people were done with Funcom after the released an MMO such as Age of Conan. Age of Conan was an unfinished, terrible MMO to say the least. Although, it has improved significantly during the past few months.

Nevertheless, I'm hyped about The Secret World because I just saw a few trailers. It seems as if the game just touched my heart when I found out the setting was based in the real world. We can now live our lives in secret without anyone knowing.

I think I'm going to give Funcom a second chance, but, if this MMO sucks, then I'll be done with Funcom for LIFE!

 I`m afraid it will be just another Hellgate Online... 

Quite interested, but not hyped, tho i don't remember the last time i got hyped about a game.

Being another Hellgate? i doubt it based on the not too aboundant information, specially based on tornquist's interviews and the twitter Q/A, of course, we will have to wait and see once they start showing gameplay and more concrete information.

I am pretty hyped about The Secret World.  I was on the fence until PAX but now I'm fully on board.

Curious but not hyped. I'll see for myself how good it is after its launched and they have a free trial.

more FAILCOM crap? No thanks.

Noeone is hyped about more crap coming from the same place.. dont dream on it.

No i am not hyped about the seceret world the reason, " Track Record, Track Record, Track Record " prove me wrong.

Jihad works both ways

I don't think there's enough information out to by hyped no matter what. People get hyped way to early which is what leads to such anger when it's not what they dreamed it would become.

Also I doubt I'll ever be hyped about his since it is a Funcom project, probably won't ever try it either actually.

The only thing I'm hyped about is more info. I won't go beyond the point of curiosity just yet.

I'm not Hyped on the game because there isn't enough information to be hyped.

I am hyped on the idea of a skill based game tho (Ultima Online was the greatest MMO imho in its first couple years.. as I say this is my opinion).  I have never been a fan of class/level based MMO's...

So when you put these two things together..

Game Information + skill based... I may not be hyped on the game at all.

I'd say I have hope... even tho Funcoms track record with MMO's isn't the greatest... they are at least doing what I have wanted someone to do (skill based!!).

Hopefully they can pull it off to a degree that skill based fans enjoy the game...  as its one of the most ignored segments of the market (yes even more ignored than pvp).

I'm interested in this game, and have hopes it will turn it great, buy i never get hyped about games anymore, i just wait and see if they will turn out to be somthing i like.

But for what information we do have, this game has caught my eye. =)

I'm excited to see what Funcom will do.

As Norwegians, as game developers, and as people with the history of AoC.

I just skimmed an article and it has EE talking about the game.

Strike one, for me.

I'd say I'm more hyped about the concept of what the game proclaims it can provide, rather than the game itself.  I'm sick to death of the quest and level grind fests that most MMOs give these days and I'm looking forward to a title that can provide a more open sandboxy feel to a world akin to what Ultima Online provided: a world without 'excel spreadhseet gameplay' (of course, within the context of computer gaming by which the very definition is calculated gameplay in and of itself) and predetermed character development paths & leveling.

While I have been a fan of the game concepts that Funcom has provided, their implementation of those game concepts has been less than exemplory.  For that reason, I am catiously hesitant about the title, but I am hyped about the concepts that the title claims it is delivering.  I am hoping it is successful enough for other MMO houses to break the mold as it appears TSW is trying to do from the extreme limited knowledge we know of it the title thus far.

This is one of the few games I am very interested in, but hype is not a word I would use to describe my interest.  I just hope funcom does a better job this time around.

Hyped about a game made by funcom?

No human in this planet can be that dumb to fall for it again...

I'm a little excited about it because it will be something different than the other mmos which is sorely needed.

1. Modern day mmo

2. No levels or classes

Ask the OP's question 1 year after they actually release the game since it will take at least that long to fix their mistakes and somehow squash the PR nightmare they will have because they will do the same exact things they did with AoC. Flase Advertising on the game box anyone?

So far I ain't hyped, it has been too little information about the game that could possibly get me hyped. I'm interested in the game tho as it has a setting that I find interesting and since it is said to be skillbased that is a good thing. Time will show if I get hyped by this game, but knowing my self my hype won't go far. Few games have managed to hype me, specially MMOs as they seldom turns out the way the hype thinks they will. 

Like many others, I think there's too little info about the game to generate much hype, and it is made by Fucom, who doesn't exactly have a stellar record in game develoepment these days.

Maybe this time will be different, we'll see.

Its FUNCOM

Be afraid - Be very afraid !

Dont belive one word that is said from the PR campaing.  Dont Pre-Order this one.  Remember AOC and DX10 and stay away until 5-6 months after release.  Then you can Try it out and see if it has delivered 1/10th of what was promised.
