General Discussion

I picked "other" since the only MMO that's comming out that I might honestly care about is World of Darkness.

Still far to soon to say if I might like it though.

Diablo 3

Duh?

Star Trek all the way, I'm not a fan (as in I never watched the shows, not "I hate the lore") but it definitely looks good specially the fact it isnt level based unlike the rest on that pool.

 

Star Trek is just Champions online with a Star Trek skin, that screams "SUCK" to me.

 

I went with SWTOR.

Because so much is known about either game? Have you even read about STO?

I don't know who to pick. Bioware has a strong track record but STO is looking good. IMO more info is needed on each game.

AION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these games you have posted are using older engines and were started at least 2-3 years ago.I think Stargate may be using UE3 ,but after seeing first glimpses i doubt it.

We won't get a better view of all the games under development until 2009.I can tell you this,there is a TON of next gen MMOG's coming out in 2010,this may perhaps be the time when all the WOW  bandwagon jumpers finally realize there are some great games out there.

We are going to see REALISM in graphics and facial expressions,LARGE content areas with seamless worlds.I am amazed at how soon we will see this but a lot of the developers are claiming it is possible and we will be seeing it.

UE3 is not going to hold water against what companies like Red 5 is doing with the Project Offset engine.

Red 5 btw... is the people behind WoW gone solo, so while it might look as good as possible, chances are its not another wow-clone.

Currently graphical engine wise, this is the top 3 list:

1. Project Offset

2. Cry 2

3. UE3

If you think engines like the Cryengine 2 are powerful, then you have never played a Total War game.  While the textures and rendering aren't as high quality as found in an FPS, there is no other game engine that can support 45,000 units, responding fighting and killing each other, not only that, but it first went 3D 5 years ago in ROME total war.  Medieval 2 was released in 2006, and if you have a computer that can run 40k units on M2TW with max graphics, then big ass kudos to your comp, but its still a 3 yo game and Empire:Total war with a bigger better engine will be arriving in stores april 2009.  No other game, Crysis or otherwise matches the sheer scope of these engines, and one thing people enjoy in MMO's are large scale pvp battlefields.

I voted other, the only MMOs that actually look like they might be good are Kingdom Under Fire 2 and as others have said whatever the Sqaure enix mmo is, I have never played the FF MMO but Square always make quality games so I am sure whatever they make will be good.

I would of said TCOS, but they have shot themself in the foot too many times, and it seems like the lastest mistake has missed the foot and landed in the head.

Guildwars 2 and it wasn't even on the list.

The first game is still between Wow and WAR in the X-fire statistic, the second biggest online RPG game now and ever. The programmer worked on Warcraft 3, Diablo and early Wow before. They know how to make good games and the graphics I seen look awesome. The game will also have true RvR.

I don't see any of those other games having a chanse, only companieas that can compete with it are Blizzard and Bioware. Also GW 2 will be quite hard.

Since only Fallen Earth and Darkfall is the only sandbox MMOs in the list, i have to go with Darkfall.

DBZ seems to be a point-click-move MMO... i don't see how that can be close to Dragon Ball...

And i agree about Start Trek and Champions, i don't think Jack Emmert is capable of making a good game. It was him who nerfed CoH into a clone. Just look at CoV.

I voted for Darkfall. Is not that i really think it will be THAT good, but at least they are keeping their heads of the radar, and that makes me think it may not be a thurd.

Also Fallen Earth looks very promissing.
