Star Vault Reveals UE3-powered MMO Mortal Online

when do you ever play an MMO alone... with no one else around you for miles. this looks like epic fail.

I am so sick of these pvp mmo's. I am ready to move on from wow but I really dont see any options offering a solid pve expierence. Im sorry but if I want to pvp I will load up some TF2 and play that instead

Wow, uninspiring.

Think they've missed the reason why people are willing to spend hundreds of hours in WoW... The wast majority of people don't like game worlds that are all grey and gloomy and make you feel depressed.

Trailer looks great, lets just hope the game delivers...i've been disappointed far too many times when it comes to pvp mmo games.

Looks neat. Wish it wasn't MMO. :(

With a name like Mortal Online, I'm guessing permadeath will be an option...

Buddy and I were talking the other day...

You know what would COMPLETELY eliminate or at least extremely reduce ganking in any OPEN PVP game?

Take away everyone's ability to see enemy player's level. Period.

Imagine a game like WoW.. Open PVP.. the only thing you have to go by as an indicator of whether you'll be able to kick their ass or get your ass handed to you is from what they are wearing/carrying.

Not going to jump into that fight so easily are you?
Not sure if your gonna win? Not a for sure win? Then you probably shouldn't be attacking them. pussy...

But if your a badass, and what to fight everyone, than well power to you, and you still have the ability to do that, but at least you'll pay when its rightly due.

On top of that.. it will also reduce a lot of the crying and whinning.

When you get killed, you'll just 'assume' they were higher level than you.
When do the killing, you'll just 'assume' they were lower level than you.

If people don't have those stupid numbers called 'level' to compare each other to, there's nothing to cry about, you attacked an unknown skilled player, and they handed you your ass....

Its like real life, ya .. maybe you can look at someone and get 'some' indication from their size (or in a fantasy mmo, their equipment) whether or not they can kick your ass.... but who knows for sure until you actually try?

I hate to say it, but the awesome graphics did grab my attention...and judging from the text, it sounds like they're going for a VERY hardcore market. Which is actually refreshing. I wish em the best of luck...my lord this looks like a big budget project.

I wonder if the majority of the MMO market wants a twitch/real time based game. I think a lot of MMO players (including me when I'm in an MMO mood) like that it's a little slower and more strategic. It's a bit of a marketing struggle to convince MMO players they are getting something different, and non-MMO players that this isn't your typical MMO.

I'm curious to see how these guys solve some tech/performance issues on a fairly hefty engine. Plus, it's always going to be scary making a fantasy game. Curious to see what 3-6 years has done for them.

I don't know why, but I kinda expect any game "powered by Unreal" to keep the silly "HEADSHOT!!!!" type sound effects. Made me laugh a little while watching that trailer.

cool, graphics from 2004 and absolutely 0 innovation. yet another generic mmo that will have a rocky launch, barely gather a few thousand players and die out

I have never gotten into the MMO scene but I would consider it for a Warhammer 40K MMOFPS. I want something like Eve Online where you can form massive teams/armies and take territories/planets from the other races. Multiple armies/races could clash on massive battlefields/maps (kind of like Planetside).

I wish we could see a Zelda game with this kind of art direction. That would be sweet.

Still waiting for an MMO that has interaction in a *world* as opposed to players vs. opponents in a static, never-changing backdrop of empty NPC's and totally impotent, important-looking places. The story of the really popular MMO's has been get level/get gear and go fight bigger stuff which makes the world that everyone is in almost completely arbitrary. It's like the background of the level in a 2D game, it only serves to hide the boring skeleton. I'd like MMO's to diversify away from fighting as the main source of activity in the game. Does anyone remember in high school solving pages and pages of algebra problems that basically use the same formula except they get a little more complicated and longer toward the end of the excercise? I certainly do, and it sucked. That's exactly what MMO combat in games like EQ feel like. I want something I can do when I'm tired of trying to find a group and want to have fun *without* going through the rigamarole of formal group forming and preparing etc. I could go on, but I'll stop here >>.

very nice, love the art direction and music. hope its not ruined by being 'another' group/grind fest.

This looks pretty so far, wish we had seen some of that combat. Looking forward to this.

am i the only one who read that as star wars? :(

Predict Fail.

Good graphics, boring trailer.

yes yes and yes please

Let teh hate begin!

Personally I like games like oblivion & diablo 2 over everquest, and because of that belief, this teaser made me desire a game similar to the teaser, but offline, or with small groups of friends, where I can be the Hero of the World. The graphics made me want a game like Oblivion mashed with Lord of the Rings....

Am I weird?

wow those graphics look pretty hot for an MMO.
