    damn again?! for xbox 360? online games are way marketable on the PC, but that is just me.

    it will be better if there were a story mode , or it will be even better if it were on ps3 too .

    Too bad it's on line.....would be a great FPS in my opinion.

    No classes or levels is good. Reminds me from original SWG.

    @ mrrofllol

    actually "bloody mary" references mary, queen of the scots, who ordered the murder of massive numbers of protestants

    this game has the potential to be the greatest thing the 360 has ever known

  • pigpen4483

    Posted Sep 9, 2009 11:50 am PT

    I mean that song is SICK!

  • pigpen4483

    This game is on top on my wanted list!!!!!

  • matteo914

    Posted Sep 7, 2009 8:04 pm PT

    Zombies, vampires, demons, violence, no grinding? This sounds like a MMO I could really get into. Would rather have for PS3 though, but oh well.

  • Kristophski

    Posted Sep 6, 2009 7:05 am PT

    This game just went from being unknown to one of the top of my wanted list.

    Cool concept. Lots of opportunity to mix in-game stuff with things on the Internet.

    But why does the interviewee seem like Gamespot pinned him to a wall and held him there?

  • Erebus

    @Migh3l

    the song in the video sounds like Gamespot in-house composition.

    As far as the game -- well, my advice is wait and see.

  • Migh3l

    Posted Sep 5, 2009 10:32 am PT

    It looks very promissing, hope it delivers the next great MMOG!

    By the way, anyone knows the name of the song of this video? Or where to find?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah getting a little sick of rockstar in general, this game might be good look forward to seeing gameplay

  • vardoukios

    Posted Sep 5, 2009 5:58 am PT

    Enough with those ads already,the game looks promising.

  • TheDirtyMoose

    Posted Sep 4, 2009 4:11 pm PT

    This game looks amazing i just wish I could see actual game play because im sure the game doesn't actually look that impressive. If it does then gears of war may have a run for its money.

  • xXSoViEt

    Posted Sep 4, 2009 9:27 am PT

    i sick of these previews to GTA

  • token117

    Posted Sep 4, 2009 8:39 am PT

    This could be a Brilliant Game, Im lookinf forward too it Its nice to see all these new MMO coming out, I.e Aion, the old republic But this game is a Refreshing new take on the mmo, It'll be intresting to see how the no Leveling up will handle lol anyway, Looks like a lot of fun!

  • AyzZai

    Posted Sep 4, 2009 5:44 am PT

    sounds great. looks awesome. don't screw up.

  • SargentBoston

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 8:25 pm PT

    Hellgate London anyone?

    Hope its not as fail as HGL

    Anyways... There better be Chubacabra!!!

  • Hem0philiac

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 7:21 pm PT

    not gonna get my hopes up till i see gameplay, cuz like warhammer which had great CGI's but when i saw it it really didnt fit me. same wit AoC

  • mrrofllol

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 7:14 pm PT

    @Evilnator

    It probably won't have "bloody mary" because Mary is a symbol of goodness (mother of Jesus) and you are supposed to be fighting evil.

    but this game looks awesome. I would like to see some gameplay though.

  • fateltear

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 2:47 pm PT

    Well the longer they we wait for the release date the better!

  • fateltear

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 2:42 pm PT

    this game has been in the works for the longest & my hunch is that this game is gonna be pretty freakin huge ive been tracking this game for like a year already & they have been working on this game for what 8 years goodness for all that effort it has to be good!!

  • Bovich

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 2:29 pm PT

    It would be cool if you could play as the evil bad a**es!

  • Evilnator

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 11:22 am PT

    AMAZING!
    This is indeed going to be one of the greatest... if its the team that worked on the longest journey series.. and on anarchy... Thos guys got the imagination and the potential for something really big...
    And im just wondering.. if this had urban legends...will it have "bloody mary"?

  • sperto

    Posted Sep 3, 2009 11:05 am PT

    OK look this!

    Hehe. We won't release it until it's "really really really done". Lessons learned eh Funcom?

  • FaulknerATAC

    Posted Jul 24, 2009 12:07 pm PT

    why they not made a Single player mode.!??

  • kekejefferis

    Posted Jul 24, 2009 10:23 am PT

    This looks VERY interesting, The fact it's being developed by the same team that did the Longest journey series is a big plus in my books as I adored those games.
    I do wonder how an MMO can manage without the need to level up your character, just how much longetivity will this have before it gets old.
    Either way I need a good MMO to play on my 360 as i've been playing Phantasy Star Universe for over 2 years now and it's almost to the end of it's life span.
    Can't wait to see some proper in-game footage :]

  • DiscGuru101

    Posted Jul 16, 2009 1:14 am PT

    Super awesome concept. I truly hope this MMO makes it to market.

  • KevDaMon626

    I NEED TO SEE GAMEPLAY

  • Frozen_Angel19

    Posted Jun 14, 2009 11:54 am PT

    I'm really interested in this game now, i hope that it'll be different from the leveling based mmo's out there now.

    fat zombie boobs...

    Look like it's time to build a new pc...

  • Ronin893

    Posted Jun 4, 2009 9:59 am PT

    I think I need to get a good PC.

  • GhostyMcboo

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 11:29 am PT

    well... never played conan... but i played ish out of AO... and man did that ever get boring.

    I hope he stays true to his word about being tired of that sort of crap.

    The only time I'll happily put in the grind is if the IP is near religion to me (IE FF XVI!!)

    I liked the FMV... good style.

    This looks pretty cool I am not going to lie.

  • haara

    Posted May 20, 2009 2:22 pm PT

    I have great hopes for this game. But hopefully CCP & White Wolf will still work on their World of Darkness even tho this game seems to have similar setting. But White Wolf have a lot more experience and knowledge of this kind of gamestyle.

  • fgjnfgh

    Posted May 20, 2009 3:50 am PT

    did I see a boob?

    lol

  • An00bish

    Posted May 19, 2009 11:10 am PT

    Looks like an MMO inspired loosely by White Wolf's 'World of Darkness' rpg setting, could be good Let's just hope funcom have learned their lessons from the horrible mess that was AoC at launch.

  • blem16

    Posted May 13, 2009 9:33 am PT

    This game looks amazing. i'm gonna be so disappointed if this doesn't come out for ps3...I'm gonna need a 360

  • Deimonian

    Posted May 13, 2009 7:41 am PT

    Sounds interesting, and definitely worth taking a closer look at. Creating a mmo without levels is going to be tough, though. I'm looking forward to see how that will turn out.
    Some game play and/or in-game footage could be nice to see in the near future
