Cool video and nice find..
BUT
They are gonna have to do more then put out a new video every two years to start convincing anyone that this game is for real as they are now closing in on FIVE YEARS PAST THEIR ORIGINALLY PROPOSED RELEASE DATE of "FALL 2003".
I'm afraid that even IF this game ever does actually release, it will go the same route that 'Dark and Light' did back in 2006. Lotta hype, tons of hope from its fans, but nothing but a major letdown and big-time disappointment in the end.
Time will tell. I honestly think that the mmo community DESPERATELY needs a great mmo game with features and promises that Darkfall proposes. I will give the game my best wishes and prayers, but I still don't have much hope for it. Maybe it goes even further then them not delivering anything yet... maybe I kinda think it goes along with that famous line that says "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

Bah, same video that was posted here on this site a week ago...the one missing all the npc's and mobs, or other characters for that matter.
Nice landscape scenes, but nothing that lets me believe its close to release.

I thought the landscape to be quite bland and kind of flat looking. There was nothing in that video that made me go "Wow! Look at that!" No monsters, no NPCs, the world just doesn't feel alive. Not to mention that the artwork leaves much to be desired.
Besides which, this game will never be released. Maybe in 5 more years or so.
You know whenever i see one of these topics i laugh because i know that when i go to watch the Darkfail video it will most likely be one Ive seen a year before. The darkfail fans really do need to get a reality check sometime as this game has all the signs and more of a failure.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Darkfall reminds me of Duke Nukem. Always hear about it, yet nothing comes of it. A few screenshots here, a teaser vid there and a release date that comes and goes. Either the developers of DF are OCD, constantly tweaking and rebuilding the game till they feel its the most perfect product around, or they are trying to beat Duke for the game that spent the better part of a decade in developement.
In the end, I think the second coming of Christ will happen before DF is ever released. Not that I am trying to bash the fans of the game, but I first heard about DF when I was 23. I am now 30. All I am saying is don't get your hopes up.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
DF is both a myth and a legend......and its not even you yet : ) LOL
its a myth IMO

Jonric: Can you speculate yet as to a possible release date? And can you say anything about plans for a publisher at this point?
Henning Ludvigsen: At this stage we can only guess. And we are guessing Q1 2003.
Even Fallen Earth has a working version. I checked it out at Dragon Con last year, sat there and watched another guy play it for quite a while. Until they present some form of a working version at a convention, its nothing but pure vapor

My sources say it is still in development. Take it for what you will:
Darkfall thread
This is the game that will get me to not only play MMO's again, but actually enjoy doing so. Either this or another PlanetSide type game that was a bit more Quake-like and less Downy Soft.
Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. ... There's a bad moon on the rise.
If darkfall botches it's release... It'll be a LOONNGG time till we see another 'world' game come out.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
People were saying similar things about Dark and Light before it's release, to what they are saying now about Darkfall.
And Dark and Light turned out to be a buggy disaster with a total lack of content.
So you just never know until you see the actual game.
Aye really nice video. And as it says after 5 seconds " Sites and Cities " not " Sites and Cities and NPC:s ".
Guess we have to wait for that one.
And must say its really amusing when people is comparing two totally different games like Darkfall and Dark and Light. Where is the similarities btw these games? Both start with Dark? Same financial backup? Same developing team? Dark and Light was a buggy disaster so cause of that Darkfall would also be one???
Please enlight me from where you gillvane1 got your info or lets say fears that Darkfall would be a buggy disaster cause Dark and Light was one, hehe, such stupidity. Can you back such a statement with anything?
On the contrary, Darkfall developers have stated many times they want a short, as bugfree as possible beta and a fast release.

I dont see how people could be amazed by Dark and Light. Its nothing as Darkfall will be. Dark and Light sounds more like Vanguard.

Can't argue against it. DnL was a totaly failure. But I have a hard time belive that many other devs lies so much as their did.
Anyhow, as you say; So you just never know until you see the actual game.

The Sceptics, yes they're special but we've need them to.. I guess.
And if they're put more effort MMORPG.com can create a 'Team Sceptic'
and send them to the Special Olympus.

i never followed it because i didnt like the devs
I dont see how people could be amazed by Dark and Light. Its nothing as Darkfall will be. Dark and Light sounds more like Vanguard.
I have already answered this. D&L has open pvp, guilds can build cities and siege them. It also has a large world
Vanguard has no pvp at all on the main dervers.Guilds can't build cities or siege other cities. it has nothing in common with D&L at all
Darkfall has tons in common with D&L
except its not going to fail

Darkfall developers develop Darkfall. Dark and Light developers developed Dark and Light. Both have been and is under development. Here stops the similarities btw these two totally different MMORPG games.
These games have/had same financial backup? Have both these developer team investors that breaths down their necks to finish the game at a certain day? Can it be so that the Darkfall game is really well funded so they can take it real easy and finish the game as bugfree as possible before they make it too beta and then release? Will Darkfall be a total success where Dark and Light werent?
I dont know what your purpose with this comparison is but it seems to me your starting to get desperate in your never ending downtalk of Darkfall. I call it trolling and baiting.

You can call it whatever you want I was simply pointing out the similarities between the two games.

There is no more similarities btw these games mentioned except they both start on Dark.
Answer this please instead of repeating same crap twice. Where are the similarities?

The LEGEND of Darkfall. People will still be talking about this game 20 years from now, and still hoping beta starts soon.
Nah youre wrong. It will more likely be talk and praising about the legendary Darkfall, the game that started a new genre in MMORPG:s, far away from the crappy similar carebear games that flooded the market in the first years of new century.
they both are made by small deleveopement teams
They both started devlopement around the same time
They both promised revolutionary pvp games
they both have failed to deliver what they promised

Small development teams, and?
Started development arround the same time, and? If you havent noticed, Darkfall is still in production.
Both promised revolutionary pvp games, and? One didnt deliver, too bad, youre point?
Both failed to deliver? Darkfall is still in production, noone knows if they will fail to deliver before the game is released, troll.
