    I watched the live video they showed on G4tv , while interviewing with some dude with glasses to narrow for his face .. I was not impressed at all with what I saw, everything I seen before this point was online vide, now seeing it on my TV in crystal clear movement, it was kind of scary looking...
    Also the way the environment was seemed very pathed...



    DID you listen to the commentry????

     

    NO you didn't - NPC's spawned for demo purposes only - check the link I posted above for a re-cap...

    watch the game trailers video...

    You got it all wrong



  • dcretindcretin Member Posts: 54

    Yeah that's just people hating on the game (which sadly happens to all games way to much on these forums) I don't follow AoC at all, but by no means were those mounts just "skating" I will say that the AI didn't look so impressive but as the previous poster said they were spawned for demo purposes so that's not surprising. All in all it looked ok to me.

  • K.o.v.eK.o.v.e Member Posts: 227

    Yes I saw it too I was a little suprised..

    The mount riding jus didnt meet my expectations, it looked jerky and everonce in awhile there seemed to be a sort of lag. It was pretty cool seeing the horse kick guys off the ground though but thats all. The guys guy representing the games voice was annoying as hell too

    On tv watching xplay on the demo they showed I noticed a  lag or something once in awhile. Of course this is naturally going to happen but it ruined the demo for me. Mayybe its just me but I saw it...

    I noticed the stuttering too, just wait until you're in a siege :/

  • HousamHousam Member Posts: 1,460

    are you sure that you didnt fall asleep and dreamt it

  • AmazingAveryAmazingAvery Age of Conan AdvocateMember UncommonPosts: 7,188

    Yea wait till you play it in 3 months time when its released and think back to how you judged a very small portion of a test field which had momentarily stuttering at a beta phase of the game

    Still stuttering at launch I'll be the first to post a video.

     

    Watch these:  Where is your flying horse??

    Its very low quality podcast, so imo the GT versions are better.

    This video unfortunately confirmed my fears for the game.  It's gonna run like crap in a major encounter and the animations suck.  Look at how those soldiers got knocked down the same way everytime, and got up all at exactly the same time, getting up the samw way everytime.  It just looked plain goofy.

    Yes , I listened, and what I heard was, our game is so unstable, we couldnt spawn moving mobs to fight because the game will lag horribly ? What developer , ever spawns "dummy mobs" for a showcase ?

    Every single mmo does that.....means they dont have to go looking for mons to kill...cos it can take a while and the people watching will lose atention...quik and easy...duh

    Im going to try to word this the best I can because I typed a few times and dosent make the greatest sense in typing..

    Basically what people are saying is oh dont bash the game yet it will be much better in a few months. Well I find that stupid... What the video is on G4 is a demo of the game to come. If this is a demo then I dont think its fair that they show us this dumbed doen version with enemies that dont even move, get knocked down and get up at the same time, and animations that overall suck. The developers cant do that, a demo is a demo and what I saw in it yesterday is what I expect to basically get in the game.

    #1-If your attention span is that short then mmo's are probably not for you.

    #2-Im just saying if this is a sneak peak or demo of the gameplay why cant they just show the actualy gameplay and not stupid test dummies?

    Tell me the answer...

Think outside of the instanced content, as of the current build would be laggy, from what I saw you will most likey get the date pushed back to quarter 3 or even 2009.

     

    Its really obvious that some people havent got a clue how the game works.

    In order to pull off some of the moves shown in the mounts part of the presentation (because thats what it was a presentation) like the decapatations, the player has to be at a certain disposition to pull that fatality off. It is easy to show for presentation purposes either a static NPC or Dummy ( A dummy is just that look up the meaning)

    It was easier because the combat is real time and not auto attack to show some of the moves off  using dummies.

    Oh Warhammer Online uses TEST DUMMIES!! http://war.warcry.com/forums/read/141.54203

    this is something NOT NEW in mmo land for DEMO'S

    BTW you do realise you can attack from the mount? this is in realtime too! seen that before in an mmorpg?

    whats the point of having a human player stand behind a horse to get kicked, just the same as a test dummy.

    Whats the point of having a test dummy to perform a fatality on? what the difference for demo purposes that having this or a human ? Fucking None... oh thats right it takes time for a human player with no GM buffs or codes to attain the level to perform a fatality.

    When the real hands on Player Vs Player videos come showing dozens of fluidly smooth humans playing - remember to come back and apologise.

    So sorry AoC mounts look sweet, let you attack from either side and that you just don't like that fact.

    Btw ever watched tv when they are showing footage from a monitor? you notice the banding there? hmm wonder what that could be. Thats right refresh rates and resoultion differences, frames are running at different speeds 60hz for example and 60fps get convertered for your poxy tv set resolution on a different hertz. Thats why in this case the GT videos are better.
