An MMO with Crysis graphics? Total population: 12. WoW as an MMO is successful, not only because its a great game, but because the system requirements aren't demanding. If you only allow high end systems to play the game, you lose a massive amount of possible subscribers. That's why all of Blizzards games, including upcoming titles, aren't system heavy.

It looks beautiful and thats all to it.

I can only imagine PvP with, lets say, 50 people on a single map, with those graaphics. Lots of GPU's are going to get fried. :)

I like the idea of using the CryEngine 2 or 3 for an MMO, but the MMO itself has to be fun. Lots of cool possibilities, though it will all have to be zoned and instanced if any of that destruction is going to go into the game.

Would be pretty sweet to see a 24-40 man raid with that kind of destruction in the levels.

Issues is MMO need to make money and if their system requirements are high for the average consumer no one would play it (I'd give it a shot though)

That is true, but more and more gamers are upgrading to DX 10 cards. There is enough of a consumer base for them to support higher specs. By the time the game sees release there will be plenty of DX10/DX11 cards on the market.

It's not like when Crysis came out and people were only upgrading to the G70 series.

Did you try running WoW at an HD resolution with max settings back in 2004? Didn't think so. @topic, the game looks amazing.

I guess if you played on the settings of the screen you listed...you would find it extremely generic. :] Get a capable PC and prepare to be blown away.

:3 I see what you're doing and I know why, and you'll play coy in your next response, but I know you know to. So I shall leave THIS. Aion has more personality than most games this gen.

Not very well, APB is flopping partly because you need a beefy system to keep it running. It uses the UE3 engine.

Well, to be fair I've only been to the first town. :P I had no desire to play on though. It just felt generic. I loved flying though. :)

Here's a better video of Archage.

Aion looks great but it's so boring to play. this game seems like it uses the physics engine for environments which i've not seen any mmo's do yet so that'll be interesting.

Looks alright but really anouther fantasy mmo they have been done to death, plus with a fantasy mmo the game goes up against WOW which is something at this point is near impossible to beat in the near future.

WoW as an MMO is pretty shallow, so why does it have to be beaten in popularity to be beaten as a quality MMO?

It looks nice, not that that's much to judge by, but MMOs seem to be taking a step forward in graphics department finally. That action-MMO that was posted on PC forums, Sould and Blade or something, looked nice too. FF14 seems pretty high-end as well, and I'm sure there are plenty of others. We'll see how they'll do, but it could be good for PC gaming if MMOs did their part in encouraging people to upgrade.

WoW isn't shallow it's just too casual atm. Burning crusade had the correct balance imo.

WoWs just masterfully constructed though. The level design, artstyle, it's just miles ahead of every other MMO imo.

I prefered Vanilla, but I agree TBC had a good balance, wrath of the lich king was just pathetic.

Not really a problem if the game's graphics are designed to be scalable. Most MMOs are designed to be scalable, what really kills them by the bucketloads is when they failed to deliver enough content or reason for gamers to stay with that game. Graphics play a factor but not the main reason.
