Darkfall "Released"

[Signe]

Oi!  You are a sick fuck!   

[Draegan]

 

[Lantyssa]

That was tacky.  Even for f13.

[cmlancas]

It's only tacky because its in MMOG. Have you seen politics or serial business lately?

That whole story enrages me. 

[SuperPopTart]

Cause they are gonna die anyway.

Um they will?  Horizons, shadowbane, and a lot of others prove otherwise.

Anything I could have responded with doesn't matter now with that previous picture post.

Oi. God even my other statements would have just sounded bad.

So forget it.

[Lantyssa]

It's only tacky because its in MMOG. Have you seen politics or serial business lately?

Half my posts are there.  As I said, even for f13...

[schild]

I think the moratorium on Schiavo jokes was lifted like a year ago. I mean really, people, it's offensive? REALLY?

Internet.

Once more:

Internet.

It is, however, a pretty apt comparison to shitty MMOGs.

[Nija]

Well played.

[SuperPopTart]

I just keep hearing the teacher from Charlie Brown.

[WindupAtheist]

That was d4rkj3di's best post ever.  And I don't even mean that in a left-handed insulting sort of way.  It was well-played indeed.

  All the credit goes to Shaar for finding this bit of news.

It looks like Darkfall will go into beta in October because they signed a deal with a company by the name of AudioVisual to release the game in 50 countries and there will be a "pilot program" in October. i believe the devs said they wanted their beta to be brief (but I maybe confusing them with the devs making Mortal Online). If so the game will release in November.


I'm personally itching to play warhammer after learning so much about it this past month but I'll forget about if Aventurine makes an official announcement before the time I expect to purchase the game.

Ok, I laughed.

[Signe]

They announced that AudioVisual thingy some time ago.  I just reckoned it was a ruse to get some money out of some brain dead investor with more dollars than sense. 

Oh, and:

[LC]

Looks like they just opened beta sign ups for the 100th time.

Damn you LC you beat me to it. Now I have to edit my post by saying McCain just picked Palin as his VP. 

I've never seen a calculated move so stupid and brilliant at the same time.

[schild]

I got all you fuckers beat.

Welcome, schild.

Hmmm. Moron? That doesn't sound like me. I'm more creative.

Forums must've been wiped. Can't find the post. Unless I only made one post and it was only "Moron."

Holy crap. You can sell anything in this industry. Wow. The lead guys on this project are some cool cats though, so best of luck to them.

[LC]

If you saw their last video you can skip ahead to 12:30 in this one. Some of the stuff after 12:30 looks pretty cool.

[Nonentity]

The archers at around 1:50 look like members of the Village People.

[ahoythematey]

Everything about Darkfall looks good, and sounds good.  I'm not worried about that, but I am terrified at how it will play out when it goes live.  I don't want another Shadowbane, I want a PvP+ MMO to succeed.

[Nonentity]

I'm not gonna lie, those floating battle tank things are pretty rad.

I think it's cute how when the wall or building disappears due to damage, the people standing on it just kind of fall out of the air.

[UnSub]

Is it just me, or does it look like a spanking paddle is an official weapon in Darkfall?

Good trailer.

[Hawkbit]

And yet, I'm fairly certain there will be an altogether different kind of butthurt when this is all said and done. 

Zing?

[Signe]

You guys should start a fanzine.  Really.  Except for Schildy.  He is the anti-fan.

We shall call it Darkfallen, because we have fallen in love with Darkfall. We'll spend months talking about how Darkfall will revolutionise the MMO genre, is finally PvP done right, on how it will avoid all of the pitfalls of earlier MMOs based solely on information provided by the devs and justify how spending 8 years on the title was necessary in order for it to achieve true greatness.

Then, when Darkfall launches and isn't raptor-riding robot jesus, we will at first deny that Darkfall isn't what we dreamed it to be in our heads, then turn in a feeding frenzy on everything associated with Darkfall and its developers. How dare they deny us what they promised! How the lying lies those liars told us scarred us! How dare they sacrifice the vision of Darkfall to the altar of WoW in order to make something grubby like money when they could have been making pure gaming heaven! We will then spend the next five years talking about what Darkfall could have been, if only they'd got it right like they promised us ...

Truly, it would be a wild and crazy ride.

But, you know, I'm already stalking Cryptic's past and future output. Someone else will have to take up the challenge.

[Mrbloodworth]

I have to say it. Graphics aside. That combat looks fun. And boats, and land boats, and castles that go "boomb".

I'm sorry, didn't you get your fill of the Vanguard forum edition? You should be able to spot a steaming pile of shit from a mile away now.

Apparently I needed to add more green.

[Venkman]

What Castle? Something from that video or another one?

I ask because the video from above looks like more of the same, like WAR2 or something, or WAR if it began development last year. I swear, it's probably my age, but all these videos look the same to me these days. The only thing I learned from the one above is that it appears there's some sort of collision detection in the game. That would be cool except like other MMOs, the world is so Unreal-like oversized that blocking anything matters for nothing.

[Signe]

It looked pretty green to me!

Y - M - C - A - A - ARROOOOWS!

[Cadaverine]

Video looks nice and all, and while it did appear to be in-game, I don't think it was an indication of actual gameplay.  They seemed to have some sort of god mode going during a lot of the scenes, except the melee parts, where it was 2 to 3 hits, and splat.

The biggest concern I had after watching the video was whether or not the last scene was scripted, or not.  I'm pretty sure it was, but I've learned never to underestimate the stupidity of MMO developers.  If they did include 1 hit kills, in a game with full loot, then they're just doomed.

WAR2

Did you even watch it? It's Shadowbane with vehicles.

The guy was running away. It could be if your back is to the enemy you take a lot more damage (makes sense). I'm pretty sure they take into account things like momentum (jumping off a wall etc.) or if you attack from a higher position than your enemy you do more damage, it's not too far of a stretch to think if you run like a pussy you will get your head lopped off.

Overall the trailer looked good to me. All I care about is the gameplay and while the animations sucked they won't detract from the game if it is fun. Everyone I showed the trailer to so far has been impressed with the gameplay.
