Usually I'm not one to care for MMOs, but Funcom's "modern world" take on the massively multiplayer genre has left me feeling quite impressed. The art style for The Secret World is unique and more than a little twisted, and the brand new trailer, posted after the jump, as incredibly cool. I love the look of the weird crow monster. Very classy indeed.
Make sure you watch the video, then check out the gallery for a whole bunch of concept art. This is coming to both PC and Xbox 360, and is very promising stuff indeed. Let's just hope Funcom has more luck with this than with Age of Conan.

When she picked up the feather, for a moment there, it looked like a real person. Like if you squinted a little or something, you'd have a hard time deciding. Graphics have really come a long way.
This is probably the only MMO I've ever really been curious about, and its really too bad its not for PS3 because my computer probably won't be able to run it, and I don't want to pay 60 dollars just to run this game online with my 360.
One worrying sign is that there were absolutely none of the development/publishing team around the booth at PAX and the team of people there didnt even know that the game was scheduled for release on the 360

...wait a second.
Also, more nice wallpaper for us.
What different does it make? just curious.
Sunscription fees, grinding, need I say more? Oh, did I mention subscription fees?
"THIS TRAILER (WHICH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE IN IT WHATSOEVER) LOOKS BLOODY AMAZING"
World of Warcraft. can't understand what's so appealing about that game. tried it twice and quit within a few weeks each time.
from what I've read this game comes closer up my alley, more active participation rather than spamming your 9-key for hours at a time.
but then again time makes fools of us all. Thought Tabula Rasa would at least be around for more than a year.
