Post by: jnr on February 07, 2010, 01:31:31 AM

The Secret World is a MMORPG coming out this summer, the story line is semi based on Cthulhu myths, here is a link to video of what coming, if you look at the street names you will see Lovecraft and Arkham ave.
It's one game am looking forward to.

Wow.

This... does not look bad at all.

Agreed.  Just saw the first trailer for this the other day. Could be quite promising.

Not normally into this, but agreed, this looks pretty cool. I may have to check into this further.

Certainly looks promising. But then again, so have so many other games that have come before. Let's just hope this one offers something original and doesn't end up being yet another run-around-and-shoot-everything gun fest.

I wouldn't get too excited just yet... The maker Funcom is known for releasing buggy incomplete games which take them years to get right.

Anarchy online and Age of Conan both released with very poor starts and only 2 years on is Conan becoming half the game it should have been..

I'm hoping they've learned form their mistakes as I to rather like the look of this.

It's due in 2012 so there's plenty of time to decide whether you want to play it.
No online multiplayer game launches without bugs though.

I like Funcom, I've played Anarchy Online for 8 years, yes, launch was bad but now it's the best MMORPG out there :)
Still has the best character system. Still has the most content. Still has the biggest game environment. Still fun to play. Star Trek incidently, is already boring after only a month...

Conan never interested me and the game director was never my favourite person. One day I may try it.
