The Secret World
Monday, October 29th, 2007 - 12:47am
Was reading a post on the Age of Conan sight and came across this site.
Funcom announced awhile back they were making another game earlier in the year, but i had no clue what they had going along with it. They've got a SERIOUS ARG background story with this and it's still on going.
This is a VERY cool way to start a game off.

Cloverfield?

Is using some of the same viral advertising and ARG tactics to get their movie noticed.

But definitely different, I take it. I haven't seen anything about Cloverfield since summer, so I was starting to wonder.
Then again, I guess I didn't get hooked enough to keep looking for things.

There's been some leaks here/there and Abrams telling some out right lies, but nothing for a month or so. I expect it to jump in high gear end of Nov.

On the subject of things viral. It's been announced that Cloverfield will have a real trailer with the real name of the movie in front of the Beowolf feature.

I'm going to be sooooooooooo disappointed with the new Beowulf movie. Its as if someone thought to themselves, "Hey, it worked for 300, so why can't we do it for this." They must have even hired the same writers -- "I....am.....BEOWULF!"
Really? Sometimes newer and shinier does not equate to better. There was already a good Beowulf that came out recently with real actors and real acting!
Well, Cooking Mama didn't help me become a better cook, and Trauma Center certainly didn't help me become a better surgeon. I have the proof of both sitting in my freezer. -- imbiginjapan
Which actually had Gerald Butler as Beowulf!
I'm a fawning adolescent in my crush for all things Angelina Jolie so i'll be watching it and grimacing probably through most of it.
I saw another post that the real name for Cloverfield is going to be... Cloverfield

Anyone else checking this out yet?
The amount of information the guys on their main site are chewing through are crazy.
Funcom added more fuel by sending out a Christmas Card.

All I saw about this game was that poster on the first post. I'm more focused on Age of Conan and if that turns out to be good, I'll be very excited about this one too.

I'm definitely all excited about AoC, but i'm more than interested in a MMO not set in a fantasy setting and expanding the MMO landscape in general. With the way they're going about it right now i'm very impressed. The Christmas card is just an example.
Funcom definitely has their sh*t together.

It's racist to refer to an Asian as "Oriental." Oriental is food, Asian is people.

Puts a whole new spin on 'Oriental flavor' Ramen. Ewww.

Is it a horror survival mmo with permideath? Man I hope funcom does something like sony and offer a combined sub to all their games.
Is it? I would have never known. I've always considered Oriental as a location.
Gamer Tag: Rantyr
I doubt they'll do a Station Pass type of deal. Would be nice though.
As for whats in the game... not a whole lot is known. Just bits and pieces that people put together from the hints Funcom throws out.

I hate to revive an old thread, but I couldn't find anywhere that talked about all the updates on The Secret World. Last weekend they had a pretty elaborate puzzle up for the community to figure out. When they did, they were rewarded with a key. Some guess that it is a Beta key.
This morning we were treated with the embargo being lifted and a cinematic on the homepage. Although it isn't gameplay, you have to have some respect for the artists that did this piece, it is beautiful.
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere...
Someone misposted it on another forum so yea thanks for putting it here.

Yeah, oops, guess I had to search for 'The Secret World' cause that didn't come up when I searched for just The Secret World and TSW and Secret World... Oh well. There it is. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go back to replying The Longest Journey. There's been a little hate in that other thread and I need to see if I was just too young and inexperienced to notice the faults. Though I'm not that young.
What you're saying is, its ok to call people Oriental as long as your a cannibal.

Huh, so RPS had a little article about this. The teasers look awesome. I'm intrigued, and I hope this works out better for them than AoC did...
If you can't be a good example, at least be a horrible warning.
This is on my list and the people behind this are very talented. I would only imagine they've learned their lesson with AoC. I've been following this for over a year already, and the time spent just getting wrapped up in the ARG has been an absolute blast.

Also dont forget the cool 2nd video.

They announced 3 factions earlier. Illuminati, Templars, Dragon.
First video was of a Dragon Member and this one Templar's. So one more CG creepy goodness.

All I can say is: They most definitely have the style down. I really really hope they have the substance.
