Darkfall video released

[LightsabeR]

Bunny hopping has no place in a game that strives for at least some form of realism. Fits perfectly into WoW.

Also, people need to learn to tell the difference between just jumping and bunny hopping. I'm so sick and tired of people calling me a bunny hopper in CoD4, while in fact it's impossible to bunny hop in that game.

Oh well... there's me going OT again.. over and out.

I really enjoyed watching the DF video. The graphics are totally fine by my standards and will probably improve form here on. I agree some of the animations are awkward, but the only ones that really stood out to me was some of the running animations. The mount animations were great. Honestly I wouldn't want this game to actualy look next gen (AoC), because I would rather have large scale battles with good performance on a large range of machines.

The thing that dissapointed me the most however is most of things I wanted to see the most off, I saw the least of in the video. Namely actual use of the GUI and city building. There was literaly less than 10 seconds of both of those things in the entire video. Also, they didn't show off their "over 500 skills" either, which I think is the furthest stretch I've heard about DF.

Anyway, I signed up for beta and I really hope I can get in. I'm excited about the game but I'm still leary about if they can make their 2008 deadline.

[Pudd]

Their reason for not showing off the 500 skills is because they want the players to find out for themselves, or at least that is what they say. I'm glad their doing it that way.

Saw it a day ago. Turned it off after 3 minutes i couldnt bare the horrible graphics! When they surround that character its almost like they rape him ! The graphics are horrible. I think MO should focus not to have anything like that in their game!

Why did you throw your toys after 3 minutes? So in other words you have zero interest in seeing what features the game itself has to offer? Very short-sighted I would say. Have you not heard of AoC? They have very pretty graphics so maybe you should go check it out. DF graphics is not that bad. Definitely not state-of-the-art but so what? I think it is more by choice than anything else. It is only the animations that are the problem. Landscapes etc are fine. If they get smooth game play no one will care anyway.

Not only that it will enable many other people to play the game who do not have good systems. Of course, yes, you can always turn down the settings for any game, but you know how people are. It will create good press for them that it is an accessible game.

Mortal will have better graphics though. In what way does that make DF a horrible game? Mortal will just have better graphics. Please note that we have no indication yet as to how big PvP battles are going to be in Mortal. I think Mortal will be great but I do have some doubt that it will be quite as focused on the large PvP battle aspect as DF. In fact I remember reading somewhere Mortal will focus more on small skirmish combat... not 100% on that though.

EDIT: On the 15/04/08 dev question thread they said they don't know yet how big PvP battles will be. I would venture to say if the graphics are anything like in the cinematic, which they say it will be, you can bet that the battle size (without lag balls-up) will be smaller than DF.

You can't enjoy the features if you have to puke all day long.

Thanks Zenir =]
DF is not good.This is only my opinion and you will not change it! I personally think that a new mmorpg should atleast be near the features and graphics of WoW. If not i might aswell go and play WoW since its better. I really want for a game to come in which just kills of WoW though. MO so far looks like the actual killer. It definetly has the potential of being better. Thats why im here and posting on the forums.

Pfff.. Graphics wanker!

I guess you haven't tried a game called Mount & Blade then, as that game would suck in your eyes as the graphics and animations are pretty poor, but in others pow, that game kicks ass because of its originality and gameplay.

I guess you're one of those guys that keep telling them self that Crysis was a good game.

[Santa]

The best thing in the movie was the two dwarves that was jumping on ice.... That was just awesome.

[brainiak]

graphic doesnt matter, although its not that bad. aventurine should work on some animation tho, but its obvious that not everything is ready yet (look at lack of animation, when players get on the first ship, and it presence when getting on the bigger one).

dfo is one of the 3 MMORPGs im waiting for (also MO and earthrise) and im satisfied with what i've seen.

Ah... I see. You don't really have anything constructive to say. Just random spewing. (pun intended)

Near the features and graphics of WoW?

Firstly the graphics is better than WoW.

Secondly the features are infinitely more advanced. If you do not like Darkfall's features then you will definitely not enjoy Mortal because they are both sandbox, skill-based, non-repeatable quest, FFA PvP games.

I think you should go read up on a game before you say anything about it.

[Amarlis]

The new video surely did get the hype up a little bit. DF is on like third place in MMORPG.com hyped games .

Unfortunately I have a problem with that exact thing...

So consider yourself thoroughly argued with.

I think he means you can hop pointlessly, which makes it sad? dunno..

But that isn't bunny hopping so I don't know why it matters, but the original arguement was this is an FPS and someone figured you could Bunny hop then, which is completely untrue, for the same reason in any FPS past 2005 you cannot bunny hop anymore, you go fatigue after one hop, it will be the same kind of idea in Darkfall.

Yea, exactly. And that's based on what? Graphics and animations?

Man, your shallow.
And by looking at your posts, your mentally aged around 14 so, go figures.

Trust me. If he wants to play based graphics and animations, he will be disappointed. WAR is about as shallow and small-scale of an MMORPG you get. I hesitate to even call in an MMORPG because while it is an online game with -some- role play elements involved, in NO way is it massive.

Ah well... the funniest is that you think I care.

If you were someone that gave me a balanced argument why you think something I might have cared though.

Shape up guys.

[Tomas]

Im shaping up. He just gave me bad reputition for expressing my views.

After you gave me one.

[LightsabeR]

Tomas, so you'd rather have awesome graphics and an instanced MMO with small scale PvP than have weaker graphics and a non-instanced MMO with massive scale PvP? Because let's be honest, you can't have both with the technology available today.

If so, well, that's your call. But just think about it for a second. Say a game looks graphically really great but it's not as much fun as another game that doesn't look as good. Would you really keep playing the better looking game just because it's prettier? Sounds rather shallow to me...
