Shhh... Don't tell anyone but the developers of The Secret
World
have released a new Secret Developer Diary. It's five minutes of in-game
footage, FMV cutscenes and interviews with Ragnar Tornquist the Sr. Producer
& Creative Director along with Joel Bylos the Lead Content Designer, and
Dag Scheve the Lead Writer discussing the clever premise of the game, and how
that story will be told.
A long-awaited modern-day MMO made by some very talented people,
The Secret World is destined to be a cult hit when it goes live this winter or
early next year. It’s also surprisingly funny, given the grim
supernatural storyline. In the new
video, the Developers point out how all NPCs will be fully voiced and animated
with motion capture. This is quite
a step forward for MMO games which usually make do with just text and generic
gestures for NPCs.
Also seen are examples of the various types of missions that
players will go on. Take note of
how Bylos mentions that, because the game is based on Real World conspiracy
theories and mythology, Players will need to do research outside the game in
the real world in order to solve in-game mysteries.
