Game: The Secret World
WEll , say all the bag thiings , and have all the doubt you want about this game, at least its not a freaking clone, best of luck for them trying something new.
I am sure at the start this might have its problems just cause a lot of this isnt the normal tried and true, but despites funcoms rocky start with games like AoC they seem to come through.
I will give this game a try most likely, see what it said when the NDA is lifted
The game itself looks interesting, not sure about the combat. Looks pretty meh, and tacky. This won't be a first day purchase for me and if Guild Wars 2 is released before this game I'll never even bother to give it a second look.
TSW looks chop licking good but lets not forget who is making it and even worse who is publishing it...
While i am weary of funcom i am totally intrigued by what this game can be and have it only behind GW2 on my watch list..
However unlike arenanet funcom will have to earn my subscription over time if ever and that is something they have failed to do since the days of AO when they finally fixed the game and then turned right around and screwed the pooch..
Funcom has a fully BS porepared PR group that i am extremely leary of as they create huge hype and then the devs fail to deliver...
I hope this game is as awesome as it could be but this is not a first day buy for me unless i get to test it and it grabs me and even then i would be weary of whats beyond the tested content..
It is funcom afterall so i take the fun out of the name and call them hypecom or fukcom most o their products are anything but fun beyond the products early contend and release..
Game concept looks very intriguing but as its been said before, those compagnies are good a creating Hypes, to sell Boxes, with little interest on the Near on future if they met their sales To cover Most expenses.
I will be on the lookout at release and a month after. If the game live up to its tales.. I shall buy it.
Looks like a good game either way but....I wish they'd show us a detailed video of the combat. They show us some stuff...but not enough to really see what it's like. Maybe because it's nothing we haven't seen before? =(
They have a great story line to build on and some really great ideas. Im hoping they improve the character models a little bit and smooth out the animations. Some of the scenes I see have looked pretty good and some things a little rough. Definately keeping an eye on this.
Wow, simply amazing, funcom just won first place in making a pre-release hype-up attract video, because thats exactly what it did, I know i'll be checking this out, and before now I just overlooked it.. wtg funcom
Its funcom or more appropriately fungone and overhyping is their game, however at some point the reality that there has to be some kind of serious if not downright unfun nasty grind for something will eventually be revealed but not until they have successfully lulled people into believing it will be magically grind free...
Its funcom and the apple cant fall far from the tree..
We'll see. Personally, I don't have much faith in Funcom. They did a good job on Anarchy Online, just wish they'd stuck with it more. I found Age of Conan to be okay, but mostly disappointing. When they added in the new expansion, with ridable tigers, I lost any interest in trying it again though.
Now they're making this game. I don't know. I like the idea of it, but whether or not they can make it work, is the real question.
The secret world is about joining one of three factions, what about the independent, what about the player that isn't interested in joining any of the three factions. I wonder if there will be a choice to go rogue and switch sides or like I said before, just choose your own side.
I am really hoping for the best. I just noticed they are making it for, not only PC, but also the Xbox 360, and we all know how well mmos transition over from console to PC and vice versa. Hopefully this will be the developer that gets it right.
If this game ends up feeling like Dreamfall and it doesn't have any major technical problems it should be fantastic.
It seems like they are basically trying to bring in a lot of the tried and true single player mechanics into the MMO genre. Action/adventure gameplay mechanics like puzzles and stealth. Replacing the quest system with a single playeresque story line.
I hope they follow through on the execution, it will be fun game if they do!
Looking forward to playin this game can't wait

Sat May 28 2011 7:20AM ReportTo me... it looks quite passable. The general idea doesn't quite intrigue me, I'll probably have to play it to feel it.
Sat May 28 2011 8:42AM ReportSo that is where the guy from A,HA went to after he gave pop music up.

Sun May 29 2011 11:59AM Report@feaverfew
They've shown us combat and how the skill system will work. Combat is nothing spectacular but the skill system seems complex and deep.
Sun May 29 2011 12:51PM ReportInvestigation missions?
Alien conspiracy theory hear I come :)
Cant decide between the Templars or the illuminate
Sun May 29 2011 12:57PM ReportPlease do not make the Moon City or Hollow Earth for PvP only!!!
Sun May 29 2011 8:36PM ReportSuch a WoW Clone, It has magic in it... And we all know Blizzard invented Magic.... and Jedi... and Rifts.... and.... Zombies?
Mon May 30 2011 9:19AM ReportWow, simply amazing, funcom just won first place in making a pre-release hype-up attract video, because thats exactly what it did, I know i'll be checking this out, and before now I just overlooked it.. wtg funcom
Mon May 30 2011 9:23PM ReportJust curious ... wonder if "Drurey Lane" is already in game, lol!!! the possibilities are staggering.
Mon May 30 2011 9:29PM ReportIn this small video I'm seeing a LOT of power animations being repeated with different powers > Not cool!
Mon May 30 2011 10:07PM ReportThis looks really cool so far. Any word on beta or a release date?
Tue May 31 2011 1:47AM ReportIts funcom or more appropriately fungone and overhyping is their game, however at some point the reality that there has to be some kind of serious if not downright unfun nasty grind for something will eventually be revealed but not until they have successfully lulled people into believing it will be magically grind free...
Its funcom and the apple cant fall far from the tree..
Tue May 31 2011 7:12AM Reportlooks good but I fear another Matrix online, these game don't work
IMO

Wed Jun 01 2011 12:53AM ReportYou can't switch sides nor can you go rogue. They want people to really -be- a member of the faction.
Wed Jun 01 2011 6:02AM ReportTechnoviking name is reserved for me!
Wed Jun 01 2011 10:04AM ReportI am really hoping for the best. I just noticed they are making it for, not only PC, but also the Xbox 360, and we all know how well mmos transition over from console to PC and vice versa. Hopefully this will be the developer that gets it right.
Wed Jun 01 2011 3:34PM ReportI've sworn off of MMOGs until something AMAZING comes along. This game might just qualify...
Wed Jun 01 2011 9:19PM ReportNice Game... I want to play it now..
