Guaranteed Beta spot in The Secret World if you re-up or start an AoC sub for three months.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

This game captured my interest when they released their first trailer a few months back, but I haven't heard anything new about it since then. I did some searching when I first heard of it and I found a forum that had been started by Tournquist himself, though nobody knew it at the time. He set up this whole intricate plot, similar to that of a Dan Brown novel, and pretended to be an investigator who was enlisting the help of the forum users (about 10-15 people at the time) to help him solve this puzzle. He even kept it up for the good part of two years if I recall.

This game's beginnings were in some seedy back alley forum with about 10 members, who were playing their way through an intricate puzzle/plot, I read a synopsis provided by one of those few peolple and it was insanely entertaining. That right there makes me infinitely more interested in this game than I would be otherwise.

Overall, I'm looking forward to it.

This is so fucking us.

Well it's about time, a small glimpse into hell. I'm not too sure about the "Zombies" I've seen this angle played way to much but it could prove a great game to keep interested in.

I don't like the fuzzy black and white of that trailer. They make it really hard to see what the actual game is like...

I've been hearing this game will have strong ties to the Locecraft mythos. This gives me a raging hardon.

"Game looked amazing until I saw that trailer".. that is a quote someone posted on that site..
I tend to agree.. I could have swore this was going to be a demons kind of game not zombies

[Manic Velocity]

Am I missing something?  Where's the trailer?  All I see is a page of angry comments.

EDIT: Found it on N4G.  I don't mind the zombies so much.  I think the last zombie game I played was RE1 on the Playstation, so I'm not jaded by the concept.  I just wish game trailers would show some actual gameplay.  :\

The town of Kingsmouth is central in a few of Lovecraft's stories, so I guess the rumors are true.  So far, I like the idea of this game.  I just want to see how it actually plays.

Its not going to entirely zombies. It will most likely be all the myths and legends you heard as a kid in a video game. Their will probably be werewolves, vampires, demons, etc.

One more reason to get hyped for this game it seems. Why all the zombie hate? I love the concept and doubt that I'll ever get tired of it.

[Strod]

It's not hate towards Zombies, it's a great modern "Demon" but everyone does it now days.

I mean, don't get me wrong I'm with Manic and really digging the H.P. Lovecraft influences among others, but the game could turn ugly very quickly or go gold over night.

Having faith in games now days is a hard thing to do, 90% of them let you down or dumb down their potential to meet dates or meet some kind of bullshit standard set by the company that owns said game maker.

I know the game will be full of a lot of creatures from different times and lore periods, they have been saying that.

All, I'm saying is -- it could be a great game to watch for. However, that so called trailer and crap dialog isn't a good start.

[Ragnarok]

I'm happy its not going to be some level based grind fest.

[Tbone]

How do you know that?

[Strod]

I have yet to see that specific detail finalized or even talked about. Have they put out something recently I missed or something?
