What was that game....

This might not be enough info to go on, but lets try.

There was a game we had a thread on in this section, about a year ago maybe 18 months or something. It's an MMORPG in development. I think when we started the thread it had basically just started development. I can't remember much about it, AND I don't even think much was known about it, but I think it might be an MMORPG set in real life? The one thing I can remember though, is that there was a trailer movie and it started with a big shot of a planet rotating, I think it was Earth. It looked like real life quality, so it gave the impression of a darker more grown up and serious game.

I tried going through about 20 threads going back through the years and I couldn't find the one I was thinking of. Anyone got any ideas?

There's The Secret World, which is set in modern times, real world.

There's also the World of Darkness MMO that's coming...which I'm not sure about but it may also be set in modern real world as well.

That's the only two I can think of without some more info.

Thanks Fozz

I'm not 100% but I think you nailed it with The Secret World. And I think this might have been the movie I remembered:

Can't say I'm as excited anymore after seeing more movies though lol.

I wouldn't get hyped for it if you're talking about The Secret World. This is a Funcom game after all. The videos make it look like fairly standard MMO combat as well.

I do really like the idea of an MMORPG set in modern times...I think that could be really fun. I also very much would like to see more MMORPGs include puzzles and more complex quests / goals that aren't spelled out in advance and hand-held the whole way. So there are definitely some things that I think I might like about the game.

The old standard task grind I do not like, and I wish games would get a bit more creative/innovative with that. I'm also somewhat skeptical about the no class / no levels skill system. Right now the game limits you to three quests at a time (one world quest, one side quest, and one of another kind) which I think would become supremely annoying in a game world full of fed-ex quests.

So...the setting and the puzzles / more interesting quests might be enough for me to try it, but I doubt I would end up playing for long.
