We hope that upcoming MMOThe Day manages to look like its sumptuous concept art, pictured above. That image of the Arc de Triomphe being repaired, upgraded, or duplicated is just simply amazing. The premise of The Day is that two parallel worlds smash together, and we've got a whole gallery of strange history-mashup imagery from The Day for you to gawk at.
Choosing a main image was especially difficult because here's this amazing crashed FedEx plane with a bridge for a wing, these enormous turrets that look like they've grown out of the landscape, or this massive coastal battle.
Korean developer Reloaded Studios has only been open for a month, and this ambitious massively multiplayer action game is scheduled for release in 2010 and will be their first.
Set in the near future, The Day finds mankind discovering a way to travel between two connected parallel worlds. Players will face a changing world never before seen in an online game as they travel back and forth between the past and present, accomplishing critical missions that extremely influence and affect their present-day world. With the fate of mankind at stake, players are thrown into brutal warfare and a fight to keep humanity from slipping into self-destruction across time.If the game maanges to look half as good as this artwork, we're onboard. And if for some reason the game never makes it out, we hope they'll publish these pictures in a huge coffee table book.

How about a movie?
I am forced to agree that these are incredible.
New desktop wallpaper! Hell, maybe new room decoration, if they print out nice enough. I had never heard of this game before, and I'm about to go find out anything I can. Even though I hope I've learned not to sign up for MMOs by now.
cybernauts and pirates? huge robots and frilly french ladies? alternate reality phreakiness? finally, i can get my friend to shut up about the lack of sci-fi MMOs. :D
Nuclear?
Extortion?

Seriously, I'm glad the robots are fixing things. That's very cool of them.
this may be the first mmo worth playing, if not only to look at all the cool stuff.
This might be the first MMO that I'd consider playing. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Very interesting stuff. First time I've heard of this. I'll have to check it out.
Giant robots have been destroying our landmarks for decades. It's about time one of them started repairing the damage.
these are absolutely gorgeous! i certainly have been avoiding MMO's as much as possible, but this is something i want to see. I'm always curious if such pre-release hype can be sustained though... 2010 release? That's not exactly "soon" in terms of maintaining interest.
Ohhhh...shiny.....
Really cool screens, but few good non-grinding MMOs come out of Korea, unfortunately.
This after Gorgosaurus destroys it from underground in Destroy All Monsters.
