Imagine if every myth, conspiracy theory and urban legend was true. Imagine if your worst nightmare came to life. Imagine a world where vampires hunt for mortal blood in dingy London nightclubs, where werewolves lurk in the sewers beneath Seoul, and where the undead prey on the living in the shadows of New York City. This is the premise for «The Secret World», Funcom's upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the modern day real world.

•Urban environments - Throw yourself into the bustling urban environments of New York, London and Seoul. Shop for clothes, weapons and accessories. Stop by the local nightclub to socialize with your friends before heading out into the darkness that is slowly encroaching on the city streets.

•Real-world locations - Discover real-world locations throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and America. From New England to Egypt, explore vast lands full of detail and story as you unravel the myths, legends and conspiracies of the world through a unique, story-driven gameplay experience.

•Freeform gameplay - Experience a game that has no classes or levels. Truly freeform character customization allows you to create the alter-ego you want to play, and gameplay that goes beyond the usually rigid MMO structure allows you to play the game the way you want to play it.

•Hundreds of powers - Wield fiery katanas, gold-plated pistols, and deadly automatic rifles. Learn martial arts, black magic and voodoo. Choose from hundreds of powers to create a character completely customized to your liking.

•Action-packed combat - Lose yourself in the most intense real-time action-packed combat system ever. Aim, strafe, shoot – movement is key as bullets fly past you and explosions threatens to tear you apart. Swords or firearms, magic and melee, each offering a similarly intense, reactive combat experience.

•Secret societies - Join the Illuminati, the Templars or the Dragon - the three secret societies that pull the strings of our world. Work your way to the top, earn titles and rewards, and play a key role in the battle for world domination.

•Player-made organisations - Create or join player-made organisations called cabals. Create your own headquarters, and decorate and furnish it to your liking. All cabals are ranked against each other, and a cabal's success will bring fame, fortune and power to its members.

•Track your progress - Earn points for everything you do - from combat and exploration, to trade skills and PvP - in order to rank high on both local and global scoreboards, gain titles and worldwide acclaim, and help make your secret society the most powerful and influential of them all.

•Intense player vs. player combat - Take part in ferocious, non-stop player vs. player action in the Battle for Hollow Earth. Fight to control anima, a priceless resource deep within the bowels of our world that will bring unprecedented power to whichever cabal that collects it

•Next-generation graphics - Featuring the latest in cutting-edge graphics technology, explore beautifully realized real-world locations that will truly set the standard for next-generation massively multiplayer online games. Prepare for an audiovisual experience unlike anything seen before.

im kinda anticipating this game but i hope:
- it doesnt lag (fat hope)
- it not just another overhyped game
- regardless of how many hundreds varieties it's offering, it all feels and react differently. not just graphically different
- the graphic better be cutting-edge
- last but not least, i hope there's less grinding, more fun.

the previous 'superheroes' mmo kinda dissappointed me. yes, it has lots of varieties, which kinda reminds me of spore unlimited creativity freedom...but at the end of the day...it all seems kinda generic. whether im holding gun or shooting plasma ray from my hand - it has the same kinda effect. and when i see every heroes in the same place fighting the same toons...it just feels like another cheapo mmo wif no real contents.

Superheroes loko more like cartoonish gua
Hahaha.. also it science fiction......

same company who made age of conan

yeah i just recalled that....i quit Conan coz of the muscular-LAG...

Also the same company that comes out the first Sci-Fi MMO that will be celebrating its 9th years.

What i hope is The Secret World uses what Anarchy Online have.. intensive profession customization so no cookie cutter builds etc.

nice. :]

interesting...well it still in development...

C'mon we need a few more votes for "Boring"

http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/21/ha...e-secret-world/

very good first hand impression of the game!

I'm very impressed. Looking forward to this.

Interesting game. Looks like Guild wars game system . P2P or F2P ?

too bad i can't see EA pushing this game to the masses like they did with SWTOR...i REALLY hope this game turns out great (based on the impression, the odds are good!!) and positive word of mouth will carried it forward....can't wait!!!

btw, you guys can register for beta here: http://www.thesecretworld.com/

I already bought the game, im giving Funcom this last chance to redeem themselves. They make great games, but they sure hell cant maintain and manage them.
