Secret World. . . looks intriguing!

Head over to Rock Paper Shotgun for a report on Secret Worlds from the GDC.

A few things caught my eye:

No leveling in the traditional sense of the term.

Three (!!!!!) factions.

Investigation Quests that incorporate Google maps and other resources OUTSIDE the game.

Some nifty ideas for sure.

 

im a big fan of a leveling skill that increases as you use it.. just like ultima online and the elder scrolls games.

 

signed up for closed beta after getting email invite to apply.

been following the game managers personal website
http://www.ragnartornquist.com/

and following his answer and question page
http://www.formspring.me/RagnarTornquist

he says closed beta is close

 

Can you tell me if you have a closed beta on tsw right now?
We're still in Alpha, but we're getting very, very close.

 

I dont trust anything made by Funcom

 

sooo what society will we be if it hits off well =P......i kinda liek the Illuminati but not there uniforms only the templers looks nice....

Soooo far the Illuminati has the best Video about them

 

If thats the case don't trust anything made by any developer because they all make mistakes. Some a lot worst than Funcoms fiasco.

 

way to far in the future to say what side, but the test put me as Illuminati.

 

well it seems EA also having a hand int he game =/

 

I kind of have the same stance.

Don't we, or didn't we - have a Secret World sub-forum?

 

Yes, we still do... also

DRAGON!!!

 

TOR will be better, just stating a fact.

 

No it is better but i'll still try hidden world as its different.

 

I don't like when funcom, goes all we will do this and that and them they cant deliver.

If the game is good im gona buy it and be a Dragon.

but still, i think they have talented team capable of doing grate games. AoC was a good game, with some innovating ideas, to bad they rushed it. And for some reason they have a history of revamping their sistems and ideas for Games, Anarchy online.

 

And Guild Wars 2 will be better than TOR, TERA, and any other MMO out there!

 

We'll compare subs and see, but tor is betterah cause they used awesome sauce in development but there is none left for guild wars 2 so there! :arrrg:

 

Definitely going to keep an eye on this.

 

Subs don't mean EVERYTHING, now do they? D:

 

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's right. For example, WoW. Yeah, I went there.
