zorvan the point is it will release no matter what
in what condition and playability thats another question
Why do you think it wont release?
7 years in dev, devs still being payed to work on the game they just hired more testers? thats alot of wasted money for no release if it wasnt going to release the game would still be in dev at this point in time
lol that doesnt mean anything dark and light should abeen cancelled but it still made release
irth online made release that is even worse than d and l
the devs are prepared to slef publish if they have to but there looking out the publisher option and weighing cons and pros so kmonboy just relax im starting to think you just dont like that fact that there actully taking the time needed to make a good game youf or got WoW took 7 years they admitted it but they didnt annunce it right away liek darkfall also darkfall had a revamp in 2003 graphics engine and what not) with the merge so why dont you give them a break
if you look be fore 2006 there was no ship combat
or dynamic shadows which came in 2007
wait how about go bug fallen earth forums to
they have gotten media coverge tho more so than darkfall did but darkfall has more active forums than that game
Why would you bug Fallen Earths Devs? They already demonstrated there product and most people just except it as a game under development. I personally think Darkfall mite be released. The way the devs have handled there product though... Makes it iffy. Generally speaking though Ill without judgement until later.
Ultima X - cancelled Dragon Empires - cancelled WISH - cancelled (in Beta) Mythica cancelled Gods & Heroes cancelled and all of these (except WISH) were being made by big name studios with ten times the money and talent that Darkfall has working on it.
This is tough to debate because really, you don't know how much money they have nor do you know the talent of the developers.
I'd like to put Mount & Blade in there, not because DF was supposed to be modeled after it but because it's a very VERY small developer with a pretty decent, steady following not to mention they've made a decent amount of money. Incidentally they are still working on their game and update it regularly which doesn't take a large company to do, or even a lot of money. I think it depends on how dedicated you are about making the game.
lol darkfall dev is full time job for most of the employs working on it
it even says on hennings art site that he doesnt have time to update it because his full time job working on darkfall is taking away from it so >.>
The funny thing is the devs don't seem to have the time to update their own site. The latest news entry is dated September of 2007!?!
This game is certainly not going to release in Q2 of 2008. I suspect the earliest possible release date is Q2 of 2009 and that is pushing it a bit.
I am assuming here that they are going to have a box which will be available in stores. Which means having a publisher (still an open issue with this game). Which, in turn, means the lead time for the publisher to do the QA on the game, get the product design done, arange for manufacturing, arange for shelf space in stores, contract out for the customer service staff, etc. None of which happens overnight.
Of course, they could always go the download only route and release eariier, but that would put a real crimp in the potential subscriber base.
you dont know that niether do we we have to wait and see but i can assure you it will release at some poinwho cares about the hmepage even tho last month there was some added screenshots or somewhere around there

most games run out of funding and thus die
darkfall has the funding
Ultima X - cancelled
Dragon Empires - cancelled
WISH - cancelled (in Beta)
Mythica cancelled
Gods & Heroes cancelled
and all of these (except WISH) were being made by big name studios with ten times the money and talent that Darkfall has working on it.
