General Discussion

Which ones are likely to move the mmorpg in a different direction. AOC has a great mature rating with PVP at 80 . WAR has the best dev team when it comes to rvr/pvp ,with EA Mythic at the helm you can be sure the rvr/pvp will be great.

TCoS has a knew combat system and offers more of the rpg ..ie Gothic type game play online with great graphics and a mysterious world.

A year like this where you have so many mmorpg coming out probably wont come round for another 5 years.

WAR and TCoS.

TCoS looks like something new and fresh. WAR is being developed by Mythic, who developed my favorite MMO, DAoC. So far they both have me hyped, and i think its going to be very hard deciding between the two of them.

 AoC i am somewhat less hyped about, but i will try it either way.

You forgot AION, which might really offer the freshest alternative of the year.

I'll be playing AOC, (mostly because its coming out first) WAR, AION in that order. TCoS hasn't caught my attention yet, but if it takes off I'll certain consider playing it.

Different games for different tastes. Plus, choice is always good and success for us gamers is a subjective matter.

If anything has a new combat system that is AoC...

Add the mounted combat to that, unique stealth, sieges, PvE Cities, decapitations, 8000 animations of movement, best graphics in mmo, mature rating, great lore and I think we have a winner.

You are right though ...Aion should get a mention because game play wise it does look ok on paper.

Hmm.. AOC is still lock on targeting and dice roll. TCOS is not as it is all in real time including blocking and no lock on targeting or dice roll. A lvl 1 spell is still usable at lvl 50.AOC has a few new twists but the basics of the combat system are still the same as other mmorpg like wow/eq

All the other stuff  you mention has been done before so its not really that unique. 8000 animations might be new but whats that to a mmorpg player. Best graphics it might have but if the game play does not add up then that becomes obsolete.

Oh..and we have yet to see any major pvp vids with 100s of players on screen at once. Lets see how aoc runs in this situation because i have a good feeling a lot of people are going wish the graphics were toned down.

Unique combat, unique stealth, unique sieges, PvE cities, best graphics, great lore and taking mature rating as advantage,.. I don't agree with these.

Mature rating + console use = bad bad community.

AoC has the real time combat and you dont lock anything and you swing in direction of your choice which you base of where the enemy has put his shields.

Also if you have a real shield you can block all the incoming attacks as long as you have the stamina to do that.

Who says lvl 1 spell wont be usable on lvl 80?

You should read more about AoC cause it seems to me you dont know all the facts. ^_^

What features does TCOS has exactly?

Nothing new. That combat is in DDo for 2-3 years already. Give the credit to Turbine, not to Funcom. You attack with no combat lock the direction you want. And you can block with shield, tumble around, jump, dodge.. You even need to aim with ranged weapons and spells.
