I am all in for this title, Funcom or not...

I've heard some bad things about Funcom, but I have to say, The Secret World looks promising. They're trying to do something different which makes a nice change, so fair play to them!

The landscape looks amazing, very interested to see how the game turns out

FYI: This game is going to be massively instanced, and I don't mean using the "Zone" system.

Think: "Age of Conan meets City of Heroes combat."

It looks like its going to be amazing. As someone who liked AoC I can't wait to play this game.

Given the producer (Tornquist), I expect this game to be very story driven.  Any fans of The Longest Journey series (also produced by Tornquist) should immediately spot the similarities in art style.  I too expect this game will be heavily instanced.  However, it is my hope that Funcom will finally learn from the mistakes of the past and make this game one spectacular niche game option.

It looks pretty good, but I wish they told us more about combat mechanics...

Hopefully have FC got rid of most of the bugs from the engine so this launch will be better than the other 2.

I am not sure if I will play it or not but it is not impossible, I like modern horror settings and London looked great.

All I got to say is..... Hellgate: London Part II

Looking good, go Funcom!

I'm just not sure about the post-apocalyptic setting. It's almost too dark, too gritty, takes itself too seriously. I'm not sure I would want to  log into a world like that week after week.

I've also never seen an MMO use guns, and not have it come across like a cheap, clunkier version of an FPS.

While I was once hyped for this game, the more I see of it, the less excited I get.

The game isnt set in a post-apocalyptic setting. It's set in a now-a-days world where all the myths of legend are starting to manifest themselves in the real world, and various powers are manifesting themselves in humans.

funcom invented the instance , this could be a good game lets wait and see

Very nice! Love the look and feel they are going for.

The landscapes and atmosphere looked really impressive but the combat that was shown looked rather boring.

I loved the little easter eggs relating to The Longest Journey/Dreamfall in the video. <insert Dreamfall: Chapters rant/plea here>

I've got some high hopes for this game and from what I've seen so far, i haven't been let down yet. Lets hope they keep it up and maybe even put the "Role Playing Game" back into MMORPG titles

when will they stop saying the "unique" word ? every new mmo says that same thing over and over... "fast paced action combat" "unique" "never seen in a mmo before"  if only it was true...

i was not impressed with this video and the art style remember me Left 4 Dead.

Love the music, great vid!

Combat looks painfully bland.

Looks great, but am I dreaming or did the woman at the start of the clip look like the original April Ryan and I swear Zoë Castillo was dancing in that night club. :)

I like the prospewct of exploring London but my main concern is that the world size is going to be very small and mainly full of instances

Il keep my judgment until its released and Ive seen some gameplay videos

Looks really good!! Gimme an Alpha key now pleeeeezzzzzz

Combat looks bland and apart of that the video shows nothing. Well we will see.

idee is interesting but combat is not...

In my opinion, this type of game should not revolve around combat at all. Really, you tease your fans with cryptology and mysticism, and then you provide them with pew-pew? 

Still, the world looks compelling, I'm in.

This is one of the titles i am looking forward to. It should be a nice change of pace from fantasy, scifi, and superheroes, as long as Funcom has learned their lessons like they say they have.

The character model in the opening scene looked like crap, considering that was obviously a cinematic.

Amazing.

The graphics are a bit dated, but I think it's because they've been working on the game for so damn long now and with good reason. They can do a patch or exspansion that makes the graphics better later on. They're really trying to bring something special to us with this one. I LOVE that whole getting to see your character's origin thing in the game. Very cool, very comic book. I hope for more cool story stuff like that in the game.

Having no leveling and no classes sould be VERY interesting, and give players a nice sense of freedom. Plus walking threw and doing stuff in London is going to be so awesome.

Can't wait!

it feels ver "worldofdarknessque" which is a good thing!

This looks really cool.  I'll be there.

I like the character story, it was something I wanted so badly in CoH when it came out. Combat is hard to judge until you play it! The concept is wicked as the story line is super rich from a real world history and not another fantasy.

No classes is interesting but I wonder how they are adding advancement, Eve did it with time, WURDS does it with usage. There is still a lot that can be done with how one creates and develops a character.

looks...interesting. I'd like to see how this comes along. Love AoC!...I wish it would play better on my pc, but I love it!

all the power to them, try something new for the love of digi gods.  Hopefully it finds some measure of success and incourages more diversity in the industry.

Gameplay reminds me of city of heroes, I'm all for it.

Funcom? Hell no. NEVER EVER again!

The story, the idea sounds really promising. I expect a really deep and massive lore behind the scene!! The character movements looks pretty outdated. Although I don't think they are even in the pre-alpha stage so let's just give Funcom some time. 

Does this remind anyone of HellGate London?

I like the story they got going for this one.

It looks great. But I fear it will fail. They are great at new ideas and making nice worlds. But the gameplay... meh.

The story, setting, and gameplay look great. The atmosphere looks like it's intended to be dark, but it's not ... scary to me. This is important in a horror fantasy game, and I think the graphics engine is letting this down. On the same note ,the monster textures need to look more - monstrous? Horrifying? Slimy, toxic, nasty, whatever - these are creatures from nightmare and the texturing is very important. They should evoke a shudder upon seeing them, and atm, it's just a mild sense of wierdness.

Short version, most of the game looks really solid, but I hope they do a lot more with the atmosphere and monster graphics.

She's wearing true religions.

Amazing level design. Horrid combat. Let's hope they clean that mess up.

I would never touch anything Funcom again.

They make pretty graphics but when it comes to game play they really are the pits.

Funcoms motto; If its fun then ruin it.

I dont get all the Funcom hate here.. The team that made AOC are nothing to do with the Secret World project.

Anarchy online was one of the best MMO's ever released, and is still entertaining today despite falling numbers on the servers.

I played age of conan for a year and a half. I probably played it too long. While they have made many improvments they removed what drew me to the game in the first place. It was a brutal pvp game at first. When they added  penalties for certain types of player killing, it made it less appealing to me. Hyboria is not supposed to be a nice place, they made it too comfortable for casual players, less tense for hard core pvpers, and almost civalized. I hold a grudge, and will play the old republic instead of secret world. I just wish a game who claims to have brutal PVP would not give into whiny players. Perhaps one day i will find a game that suits me.

I keep expecting Mike Mignola to cease and desist them, but this looks like the best thing on the horizon.

hmm, this is the first time for a long age that im really interested in a new MMO : )

I dont know what it is, but it feels as if its not made for kids.

I like the setting, and the theme. A dark mmo. Fighting evil in the modern world. Pvp wi th a purpose for your cabal (guild). It's not a sunshine, and lollipops game, maybe a little too depressing for some. I will be there for sure. Looks plenty good for alpha to me.

The audio in this video plays silly buggers with my surround sound. O.o Pops & bits that prompted me to test my system on other sound sources.

The fight animations are very basic, old-MMO-esque, so I hope that they improve the combat before the release.  Anyway, this is one that I'm keeping an eye on.

no more FunCom games, worst company i ever seen :)

I can't wait for this game. I'm tired of little kiddie mmorpgs. The character models and cinematics do look like they need some improvement, but it's only Alpha so plenty of time to do that. Landscapes and atmosphere are awesome, as well as the story/dialogue. Combat would have to be actually played for any further judgement. Two thumbs up on this. It actually IS different from current MMO trends imo. I've played basically every kind, from MUDs in the old days, to EQ, and onward. So glad to see something different finally.

aw hell,     soon as I saw  the fairy wings at  2:16  I was done  

It reminded me of Longest Journey also, which i loved. Didn't like the sequel Dreamscape though...no depth like the first one. Will definately give this one a shot! :)

i love the music in this video!

Awful character models! Overall I found the GFX way below what I would expect from a modern MMO.

I am hugely dissapointed by this video... I really had high hopes. :(

World and monsters look really good, combat and player characters look really boring.

fix combat asap it looks really bad, as well as the fact it looks boring.

This looks fucking shit!

It looks like a mix of Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos and World of Darkness. This can't go wrong!

{Dragons}

been waiting for another hellgate game, this look promising, just hope they dont kill the servers if not enough people join them. 

Gonna be a good game.
