You can see it on thisisgame.com

BEAUTIFUL! PLEASE let this be their PS3 game lol.

[Real gamer 4 life]

Yes pretty please.

[Playstation Man]

And Sony's need for a good RPG with imagery their home territory can relate to, it's very possible this IS the PS3 game. Sure hope so.

[gaffyh]

This game looks really good, very possibly the PS3 game, the other one (Steel Dog) looks crap.

[Bnet343]

This looks very awesome, but I don't like paying monthly fees for MMO's at $15.

[mikeslemonade]

Unless this unreal engine 3 this game will not look good on the 360. 360 hasn't proven it can handle big enviroments without pop up and frame rate issues. It has no blu-ray, no hdd required installs, and no dedicated servers.

[neomusket]

These titles will be tested in Korea and Korea is not Console Empire.

[TheColbertinator]

But Sony paid for these last year to come to the PS3

[B-Rein]

well softmax is a korean company and they made a ps2 game and also the same art designer (Hyung-Tae) Kim as Magna Carta: Tears of Blood is designin for this game
also it dusn't say anywhere on the site what platform its on.... well maybe its Pc but cud be ps3, sony did pay for an MMORPG to NCsoft, maybe NCsoft is planning anotehr title for ps3 well knows time will tell

[clintos59]

I really do hope that it makes its way to the ps3. I can totally see myself enjoying tons of hours on this game.

[moses]

Hate me for saying it, but I feel compelled.

This game looks awfully queer, haha.

[Laexerias]

Split a Lake in two and then say this again.

[mistertwoturbo]

It all seems to be by perspective.

I for one, noticed the extremely hot half naked anime chicks with white underwear and 46 DD's.

[games4fun]

i do hate you lol

anyway i thought it looks awfully like... Vagrant Story and Kingdom Hearts art syle is definately there

[SSJSubgeta]

I am surprised none has mentioned that the art style and character design are from Hyung-Tae Kim. He works for NC Soft now, before that he worked on Softmax. Magna Carta/War of Genesis titles too. The game looks very promising like other builds but since it is only being tested on Korean region on PC only format. I wonder how well that will do. Lineage 2 is popular as all heck out there too.

[Azurite]

but couldn't put my finger on it.
Thanks :)

[Bonsai1214]

i would like to see NCsoft put more money into ArenaNet and Guild Wars 2 rather than console mmos.

[Fox01]

I can't wait for GW2
I stopped playing GW about 2/3 months ago. The game isn't really what it used to be (Prophecies' era was great); "Heros" turned the game into and RPG.

[SlyGuy]

I could not agree more Fox.

I played GW religiously until heroes were released. I stopped about 8 months now I think.

Everyone seemed to be doing missions with heroes rather than real people and to me it took away the MMO feel greatly.

[Bolts]

I'm wrong. Now they just look gay as hell. That guy looks like he's ready to kick some ass, then have a good cry, followed by spa treatment and a five star manicure.

[Bangladesh]

...followed by a pedicure, and a diary entry.

[Tacki]

Those are some nice visuals for an MMORPG. I'm quite impressed! We can only hope this one will be coming to the PS3. I'll certainly be interested if it does.

[Pain]

come on NCsoft ~

[Bangladesh]

O.k. Microsoft, enough with the anime MMO's we already have 2. I want Age of Conan, Huxley, and APB, like yesterday.

edit- My bad, I mistook NCSOFT for MSFT.

[SIX]

...............

[NewSchoolGamer]

if this game will be completely level based. If it is followed by regular anime crap I'm not buying.

[wizwiz]

Let's talk about this Trailer

[JeepGamer]

Korean MMOs follow a pattern of having fantastic graphics, amazing animation, highly detailed monsters...

And a dull mind numbing grind for gameplay.

[Maddens Raiders]

Nice...

[dachiefsman]

wow this is border line smut.

[B-Rein]

WHERS that ps3 mmorpg that NCsoft promised

^^ So confuse

[Greedy Genius]

i coulda sworn they said something like that in e3 2007

[xionpunk]

VERY nice!!

[THE_JUDGE]

it isn't all MMO's. There's only so many of those I think can work on a console. Some sweet RPG would be nice though.

[lewis]

but the only problem is whay????

[kesvalk]

i will only be interested if this is not another point and click MMO, give me something in the lines of devil may cry and chaos legion and i will see if i will play, played MMOs for more than 10 years, don't want to waste my time in another "click monster/see your char attacking/click another monster" thing.

and, as far as i know, this is PC ONLY, why ncsoft would do it for a console? the MMO gamers are all in PC gaming anyway...

[midgetsanx]

People are hoping it also comes out for the PS3 because SONY announced at E307 that they had a deal with NCSOFT to make some RPGS.

[AmpedMan]

We need an MMO where players actually have some sort of impact on the world if they're good enough. Sort of like mimicking the real world (and Second Life) in a way. Be good enough; have a true impact, advance the world to new heights or take it asunder with your evil ways.

Oh well, I'm still stuck in a pipe dream. I guess this is a step forward for the 360 platform. Now about that Halo-themed MMO...
