    Default ArcheAge - A true third generation MMORPG?

    A new introduction video for ArcheAge, as well as the announcement trailer for ArcheAge China.



    How do you see the game after watching the video?

    Is it a true third generation MMORPG?

    Edit: For those who are unfamiliar with the game, it is the first title from Korean studio, XL Games.

    The founder of XL Games is Jake Song, creator of NCsoft's Lineage 1. He can be seen in the video as well.

    It was developed using CryEngine 2, but was upgraded to CryEngine 3 recently.

    The China server will be the 2nd foreign server. but no English server has been announced.

    only problem i found watching this video was that even their computer lagged at times. so this game might not be very well optimized.

    the graphics looks nice though. just hoping that it is everything it looks like it is.

    i wouldn't call it next gen or anything. they are just keeping up with whats already out, would be weird to call it next gen if there's already games with this good graphics out :S

    I think the graphics isn't the only thing that makes it 'next gen'. Wasn't there something intricating about its gameplay?

    I've been on the fence about ArcheAge since first hearing about it and after the video I am still there. When a game claims to be new and innovative, videos are not enough to feel whether it really is or not. Plus it will probably be years before us westerners get to touch it.

    A third -- or maybe fourth -- gen MMORPG for me would have to consist of the following:

    Jumping
    Climbing (anywhere)
    Completely open world (no invisible walls)
    Action
    Seasons & Weather (where you can see the effects, so if it's winter it snows and the snow stays on the ground, etc)

    jumping -> yes

    open world -> yes

    action -> yeah but point and click

    seasons and weather -> not confirmed

    climbing ? **** climbing, you can destroy soo much

    I'm a sucker for graphics honestly, but what also interests me is the world changing effects that players can cause to the world. Player housing is also a plus as always.

    I won't be disappointed if it's not considered a "next gen" MMO by the audience or myself actually. It's just a title in my opinion.
