Ridah sends word that a new website for the upcoming MMO 'Vanguard: Saga of Heroes' has been launched - http://www.joinvanguard.com. Tonnes of info about the game plus screenshots, videos and lore.

I just watched the trailer and it doesn't seem that great. I lauged when the word 'Freedom' cames up and it just shows people riding their horses in a slightly own field.

Anyone know when the open beta will be?

the second you see SOE pop up on the screen right at the start you know this game is doomed. no point in even watching... :(

I still dont understand why devs persist in posting screenshots to advertise their games with no AA these days.

Personally if a game doesn't support AA in this day and age it'd have to be pretty damn special before I'd even consider installing it.

The game is being developed by Sigil Games, Sony (SOE) is simply a co-publisher and have no say in the development of Vanguard. Beta3 has already started and this will last probably until the end of the year. They (Sigil) have no plans for an open beta. Simply registering on thier forums gives you a chance to get into the beta as that is one of thier sourcing pools.

I dont think SOE makes any of those MMOs originally though?

Sounds great, don't most people love doing that?

i hear people go on about how there are so many new mmo's starting up that seem "not so crash hot" and how they are destined to fail, when the reality is that they make there money back and continue on to earn a profit, this has mainly todo with the fact that koreans and chinese cant get enough of em. its like f***ing crack over there.

but yeah most of the fail in the western would.

ps. i agree swg was s*** but could of easily been something great if lucas arts had of not been a bunch of f***wits.

nice try, but you're still a spammer
