Title: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Signe on January 30, 2007, 07:29:03 AM They literally go months and months with little to no update and just when you think it's all over, they release something. I don't get it. Anyway, for those elderly gents who are still listening to REO: Speedwagon and following this game, I give you:

Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: HaemishM on January 30, 2007, 08:34:32 AM Is Darkfall the Settlers of Ganeath (?) one that already released and was a massive trainwreck? Or is this the one that's a trainwreck in the making? I lose track what with them both having Dark in the title.
Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Signe on January 30, 2007, 08:44:22 AM I did link it. Well, the video anyway. You have to click the dead horse! :-P
Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: HaemishM on January 30, 2007, 08:45:08 AM I must admit the video linked from that page looked shithot. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be just shit.
Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Signe on January 30, 2007, 08:49:28 AM No, you're thinking of Dark and Light and smushing that with Mourning, probably. Darkfall has been being developed for a really long time by a very small development team who is terrible about updates. I think they plan to publish it themselves, too. If it DOES get released, I'll give it a go. Hopefully, that'll happen before I die of old age. It's one of the few indie games that I keep hoping gets finished. Secretely hoping so I don't lost my street cred, of couse.

Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Slayerik on January 30, 2007, 01:38:26 PM hmm. I'm don't buy it. As much as I'd like to have hope for the game, there is just none left.
They coulda named it "buyme.wmv" Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Nonentity on January 30, 2007, 02:44:38 PM It's starting to look like a medieval shooter engine.
With items. Like the first person cannon firing from the boats.

Like the first person cannon firing from the boats. I have never seen a cannon with a square barrel before. I've also never seen one with sights, or the ability to move around so freely.

Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Strazos on January 30, 2007, 10:17:46 PM Eh, I'd give it a shot if I got into a beta or something.
Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: pxib on January 31, 2007, 12:46:51 AM I get suspicious when combat occurs and no numbers come out of people's heads.

Combat log? /shrug I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. This game obviously won't be out for another 10 years, so no worries. Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: waylander on January 31, 2007, 01:09:27 PM I've lost all interest in this game until it actually goes into a mass beta, and begins to release regular news content.
Title: Re: Darkfall: It's Like Pulling Teeth Post by: Soukyan on February 01, 2007, 05:00:55 AM MMO Mount and Blade?
I don't know. It looks very ambitious, but I know very little of it. Is it even in any testing phase at the moment, or was the gameplay footage a bunch of bots or a handful of friends in closed testing with them? Ship combat looks interesting, but ... stationary. Would be nice to see maneuvering as an option. I wonder how the engine will hold up with larger groups of avatars on screen. |
