I know its a ingame trailer, but I like full motion cintematics. One of the things I like about firing up a new game for the first time, is watching the intro cinematics. Hellgate's intro movie completely blew me away, I was astonished. I absolutely love it.
Finally got to see the new video, and WOW. That was probably the best gameplay video that i have seen ever.
Sadly i made a promise to myself that i would never upgrade a computer again just to play a video game. Looks like i am breaking another promise to myself.
Very good video. Some of those finishing moves were badass.
The only thing I hope is that the killing moves are a) not extremely repetitive and b) they didn't spend all their time on the killing moves so that the rest of combat is lacking.
Barring those two possibilities, the combat in the game is going to be a hell of a lot of fun.
Very good scenes put together for the video. I just wish the battle scenes would have been longer than just a few frames each. It's hard to tell if the combat is exciting for moments or for the duration of the fight when they edit a video like this. Here's hoping.
--------------------------------------------- I live to fight, and fight to live.
There are a few live video interviews with funcom. Specially the one from a swedish gamesite.
He states not only is it a combo based to get a fatality but its not something that will happen all the time as has been previously mentioned. Thou i worry that once the combos are posted on some website thats all thier will be.
He also said that since there are many locations to be ''aimed'' at while attacking that you can do a variety of moves not just the same one button does one type of attack. Believe also this is different for each type of career.
Also that each type of weapon has a different type of fatality. Blunt weapons ''bashing in skulls'', two weapons working together, daggers sticking in vital organs, single sword chopping off heads, arms, legs, sticking into thier heart then being pulled out. Etc.
I really enjoy fatality moves in Mortal Combat but in the end its just simple eye candy, nothing more.
Beside what about you are in combat with 2-3 mobs. What now if you have trigger the fatality combo. How long would you be trapped in fatality animation while you are getting beat by other mobs. Beside does fatalities work in pvp?. Could you really chump off a other players head?
Watched the trailer over and over. Keep it coming Funcom :-)
Looks like this title may finally bring something new into the MMORGs. Also can't wait to hear more about The Secret World, although that one is probably years away...
Very nice Video, however I still cannot help but wonder why they WILL NOT SHOW hardly any thing on thier caster classes.... Rather suspicious if you ask me how they continue to hide thier caster type classes in this game.
If you ask me (and this is just my speculation) their caster classes is their weak spot and they know it, which is why they continue to hide it from public view. Yeah I have seen a little snip here and there and what I saw I was hardly impressed with. Im thinking thier caster classes are nothing more then rooted tree stumps with pretty lights/effects and they are scared to prove me and others wrong.

Yes you quite right there, in regards to lack of info in relation to the melee side of things. Same can be said for the ranger class too. I think there was alot of feedback to how spells should look on the official forum, so some classes might get tweaked. I also think there is a case for how they match up race related wise, eg Druid of the Storm available to Cimmeria or lack there of. Plus I personally think a few sound similar in the structure that you see at the moment, there it could be a case that Funcom are revisiting the casters again and thinking about whats unique about the role they play, race wise and taking in feedback.
Being beta still though, I for one am not ruling out any changes for the caster classes. It could very well be they are still beefing them up and considering alternative to how they play out.
I just hope they prove me wrong on this Caster topic, I really really want AOC to be a hit.
Anarchy Online was pretty much my very first MMO (I don't count those 2 weeks in Earth and Beyond). And I know how solid Funcom is at making WELL ROUNDED MMO's....

I really thought you guys were exagerating until i saw the video. thats all that and a bag of chips!!
Of all the up coming mmorpg's, Conan deserves the crown. Hands down. Flat out brutally murders the competition. Cheers for king Conan.
If the BioWare mmorpg fails me, I'll be in Hyboria for sure.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

Even if I dont like your: "I hate everything and everyone" posts, I still reply to you!
Yes you can cut other players head in PVP!

Finally a Conan video that makes me excited about the game. Maybe I ought to get a beta account now.
Watched the trailer over and over. Keep it coming Funcom :-)
