Darkfall has the best looking in game video ever created so far compared to AOC.

bezado

Anyone seen that Aerdin Mount video? Truth is I think it is the premier video out showing the best looking game so far besides Heroes Journey.

I watched this video again tonight as I was cleaning up my desktop downloads folder and just thought I would go and check the link to share with you all.

The coolest thing about Darkfall that the DEVS have made known is that every land area and ground is hand painted and is all different. This adds such a deep immersive aspect to this game.

I just hope it releases soon.

If you have not seen it yet, prepare to .

Not to rain on your parade but this video is pretty well known and if your looking for anything else relating to DF such as videos, screenshots, and interviews Click Here. That has most if not all the info on DF.

No really? I thought I was a looser mmorpg.com user.

I stated that I was cleaning up my downloads, and linked it for the people who might not of seen it. Since out of all my videos that is the best one I seen or have still.

I was hoping that this thread would get the debating AOC guys to at least take a look to see. You don't have to be a fan of darkfall to have seen everything, many who are interested simply look at most the games on this site without digging further to get anymore info on that game.

The graphics in that video look to be about 4+ years old. The engine DF uses is very dated when it comes to visuals. It doesn't even look like it's using high resolution textures.

sorry but the words "best looking" shoud never be associated with darkfall..

As for AoC.. I suggest you watch some of these videos......  you'll change your mind pretty fast.

The engine in DF is fine at least from what I seen, if you download the high resolution Feb 2007 video they released the graphix look  good. The Aeridin cat vid is not high resolution, so it dosent look as good as the other vid they released. 

As for 4 year old graphix, you're pushing it unless you dig up some of the early screenshots from DF.

aoc = class/level base tired of that so go away hows

You are what you think you are.

Good luck with that.

AOC has graphix, but I seriously doubt that people are going to be able to enjoy them; not that many people will be able to make that big of a technological leap and go out an buy a new machine just for AOC.

As for PVP, AOC was not built around that, PVP was basically slapped on and the Boarder Kingdoms are the pvp area where Guilds can take over forts but they will not be able to build cities. Ohh and keep in mind that these forts are instanced the reason for that is because there is not enough of space so they basically went half assed and put in PVP into instances.

Hence the reason you hear Age of Conan Carebear from the pkers who are beta testing this game.

WRONG, dude get your facts straight.

You really think you need to buy a new PC to play AoC? pffft..

PvP was in the inital design right from the start, you actually build you Battlekeep up, you CRAFT IT, as well as your SIEGE WEAPONS. Instanced giving around 150 people in that instance battle, supports more than say a pvp centric game like warhammer, whats that tell you?

You have heard nothing from testers...

lol fanbois

 

You really think darkfall will be anywhere close to what they promise?

 

The video looks really dated, nature looks flat and horrible, same as the character model.

Please this is nonesense, AOC is a game for high end PC's; a ton of eye candy that I can guarnatee you will lagg out any person who does not have a $4k PC with a dual high end graphix card.

AOC was not designed around PVP, the PVP in AOC is instanced, the Battlekeeps are themselves instanced and you can't build your battlekeep from scratch you can upgrade a few structures but that does not = city building.  PVP in that game is an afterthought, no one will be able to keep a battlekeep for very long because the system was designed around having these battles being instanced, any tom dick and harry carebear who does not have a keep and hides in the safe zones can come and compete and join in the fight to tke over these instanced keeps.

AOC PVP = WOW Battlegrounds PVP

My main problem with AOC is the PVP, they put it in on top of carebear level system and they instanced it. AOC PVP is World OF Warcraft battlegrounds with Forts and siege equipment.

The only interesting feature that I like in AOC is the blood & gore and the finishing moves that they added.

Again.. Get your facts stright!

Age of Conan was build with PvP in mind from the get go. Hence the 20 separate PvP levels.

And no, you don't need a $4k PC to play it. Heck, even the PvP designer uses a laptop with 7950 gfx card a decent CPU and 2g's of RAM to play it at home. And he (Athelan) himself claims that it will be the PvP aspects of that game that will hold on to constumers for the long run.

The Border Kingdoms is not instanced. Its a huge area where you can craft cities, gather resources, behold forts and the like.

The thing you think of has nothing to do with PvP what so ever and thats called the Player Cities.

Its like the same thing as the Battle Keeps, only that they are in instanced zones so that every guild on the server will be able to have a "home".

In the Battle Keeps you will only have 9 resource spots for Battle Keeps, thus you will see an never ending battle to capture and hold those Keeps, and spots.

I don't know how the 20 separate pvp levels equates to them having pvp in mind from the get go. If anything I would think that since its a seperate system and not integrated with the rest of the game (pve) that it could very well have been 'tacked on'.

Yeah id say 4k is a little extreme. But you definitely need something more high end if you want it to look like the screenshots they show off. Even if the game can technically run on something lower, doesn't necessarily mean its going to look good while doing so.



I would agree it will be the pvp aspects of the game that hold the customers for the long run. But mostly because the devs themselves have said the pve content of the game is rather short compared to many other games out there, so players will burn through everything but the pvp quickly.

I predict the zerg guilds (or largest guilds on the server) will hold all the keeps and spots and after ownership has settled, will rarely change hands unless a new zerg guild comes into play. But probably wont be much fun for the solo'ers or smaller guilds.

And to the OP - nice vid.

...what?... to compare PvP in AoC to BattleGrounds in WoW is the single and MOST STUPID comparison i have EVER seen made in these forums! Do some research before you go off bashing AoC, troll!...made for the kids? button mashing?!  In AoC you pick where and how you swing your weapon at your oppenent,  its almost the opposite of button mashing!!! Made for the kiddies?! Its rated M! in AoC PvP is not an afterthought either, they are even thinking of making a FFA PVP SERVER for gods sake... why dont you go to ageofconan.com or something and do some reading hmm?

You would want to read about why they have the two different systems in regards of the PvE and the PvP levels. Its all about being able to balance both PvE and PvP in the same game.    They can add PvP gear for example without it affecting the PvE aspects of the game and the other way around.     On the thing about AoC not having PvP from the start. How do you explain the area Border Kingdoms that have been there from the start?

And no, you don't need a $4k PC to play it. Heck, even the PvP designer uses a laptop with 7950 gfx card a decent CPU and 2g's of RAM to play it at home. And he (Athelan) himself claims that it will be the PvP aspects of that game that will hold on to constumers for the long run.

Of course you would want to have an high end PC to get the best graphics, but isn't that a good thing? That a year from now the game will still have good graphics? And that you can upgrade your harware after some time and the game will still amaze you with its visuals?   Its been said several times that the requirements will be as with the game Oblivion. Now, if you cant run that game its about time you update your hardware anyway.

I would agree it will be the pvp aspects of the game that hold the customers for the long run. But mostly because the devs themselves have said the pve content of the game is rather short compared to many other games out there, so players will burn through everything but the pvp quickly. 
They have about 900 hours of PvE content now, and thats only from level 0-80. So I believe they have enough of PvE content.
The Border Kingdoms is not instanced. Its a huge area where you can craft cities, gather resources, behold forts and the like.

The FFA server will not be for the solo'ers, thats something everyone can agree on.
And even holding an battle keep is something not everyone will experience, thus thats why the game have the Mercenary system that can hire the solo'ers into the big fights so that they can see it as well.
About the zerg thing... So what? Ally with some other good guilds and take them down. Its all about drama. Fun!

And to the OP - nice vid.

I think the OP is smokin some wacky stuff. Either that or he is utterly blind. Darkfall can't touch AoC. Then again, not much can ATM.

While DF and AoC overlap in some features its hard for me to imagine that DF's release would drastically hurt AoC.

"As for 4 year old graphix, you're pushing it unless you dig up some of the early screenshots from DF."

The early screenshots of DF looked  visually better than the current ones do now.

No I'am not pushing anything. In fact , I can dig up screenshots from Asheron's Call 2 (released almost 7 years ago) that look MUCH better than Darkfall graphics do.

The texture work and level design in DF is just plain bad. So is the overall modeling of characters.  So are the animations.

Xion187

howit your brian was model bad 2

SPQrJoseff

I think the graphics look good, and will look even better by release. But the best? That might be pushing it..

Xion187

na the grphics wont be the best personally id ont want them to be it will limit how many people can play smooth

mordekai

My favorite part is when that guy up there said "They are even thinking of making a FFA Server!!"

Why can't that be a priority? Why can't the AoC fanboi's leave this forum because its obvious the two games are nothing alike. AoC seems to be for the more faint of heart. "Argh I don't like you step outside the safe zone and lets fight"

 

lmao.

I personally don't think it's the best in game graphics I've seen, EVE Online and Star Wars Galaxies ( Pre-Cu that is ) are some of the ones I found to be the best, City of Heroes is great character wise though, but the rest is just well.... Meh.. really.
