Perfect Explanation for Everything!
I just figured it out.
Why they are having such a tough time giving us some actual player perspective in-game video....
Why they still haven't had an actual beta with real live players....
Why nobody that we have even ever heard of has actually played this game...
Why the videos they have released look so cinema like and not like actual real live game play...
They don't have an actual game. ....Now now, before you jump all over me, read my explanation:
They have created a small virtual area with water, some landscape, and some ships and crap. Then they have made a few pre-programmed "bots" to run around following their in game commands. From there, they have cameras that they can maneuver into any angle that suits their purpose for videos and screenshots etc. This would explain why it is taking so very long to get us a 5 minute video that shows such new in-depth features we haven't yet seen. They are having to program all their bots to do as they want, and manipulate their camera angles to be behind the bots avatars, and perhaps make up some phony IU. I mean really, that would certainly take a lot more time and would explain all these delays since May for this video. Because we all know if they had an actual game as they state they do, then loading up fraps and simply recording 5 min of in game footage could have easily been done way back in May without any delays what-so-ever. Makes perfect sense.
This would also explain why they CAN'T have any actual players play their um game, cuz it's all pre-programed 'bots" and there is no actual game... unless you consider moving cameras around a "game".
This would certainly also explain why all the videos so far look exactly as they do.
And why all the screenshots look so similar to each other, because they don't even have a "world", they simply have a chunk of virtual land and a little water for the boats to film all their wonderful videos and snap screenshots.
It all fits together and makes perfect sense.
Okay, why has it taken so long to make just this you ask? Simple. Because they haven't yet scammed enough money from investors to suit their desires before they run off and hide, never to be found again.
Okay you fanboys ask, what would be their reason for this? Easy. To try and earn investors cash. Nothing more. Investors put up millions and millions of dollars for such games, especially a game that promises all the things this game has promised.
It DOES make sense. And to someone like me who has followed and seen so much with mmo games since 1996, this is a LOT more believable then some small group of unheard of guys are making the worlds greatest mmo with unbelievable features, 500 man wars with no lag, etc, etc.
Sure I could be wrong. But just let me ask you... What if the odds are in my favor here with this explanation and I am indeed absolutely correct, or very very close to hitting the nail on the head here? It makes sense for everything to me. It makes sense out of all the delays, the no beta, ...everything.
I can see it now. On a new Jeopordy game show in the year 2014, the host asks the question "A video game that promised features and game play never before seen in a game, turned out to be a hoax when the developers with ficticious names made of with 70 million investor dollars"... some one hits their buzzer and simply says "What is Darkfall?". ...Correct for 500!

the do have live players just not as many as you would think.
and your theroy just explinds if its a hoax what if tasos is being pretty much honest with us? would throw your world for a loop wouldnt it
This is how a DF post should look like : )
And i can agree, there is not one DF fanboi that havent thought about this. But what would be the fun in that? Remember that we begin with zero Darkfall, and slowly work us towards a real game.
Pointing out the zero part is just a natural thing = no fun.
Yea Right! Not one of them happens to know anyone that knows anyone that happens to know anyone that can share some relevant info................And ever see an English video or interview? Or even an Interview done professionally with any form of professional media that we can all vouch for? Or even actually see someone play the game in a video?
Good job OP with that synopsys on why it has never and never will see the light of day.
Its worse to actually think about doing something then actually doing it!!!

ROFL - evidence? What evidence?
Some made up story created of someone with way to much fantasy.
Yeah that "surreeeeee" is some real hardcore evidence if i ever saw one.
Yeh, the funny thing is it would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to blast me and most other nay sayers for Darkfall out of the water and change us into believers.
For me, all I need is an in-game video made with like fraps that shows a player running and fighting a mob or two and maybe another real in game player. 5 min tops. They certainly don't need 1 TB of raw video for this! That to me is utter ridiculous and just more reason NOT to believe a word they are saying.
5 min guys. This isn't hard and shouldn't even take 30 min of your time, much less months and months and months. Show me in game video of maybe 30 seconds of you making an avatar, logging into the world, and running around. Kill a mob or two, and fight another player that logs in with you in the same starting zone. That's it! You can show all your other features later, that's cool. But a video like I'm asking for here is simple as hell to put out and would do wonders for making your game actually believable. Nothing fancy at all, that's all I need to become a believer.
But they won't do that. They want months and months and need to keep saying that they have over 1 TB of raw footage, blah blah, blah, and when this stupid video comes out, I betcha anything it will indeed look polished, scripted, and FAKE.
If the game is up and running with all promised features as you have said Tasos, then it certainly shouldn't be hard at all to shut me up. And a lot of others too.
They won't do that though. Which certainly makes me believe in my OP synopsis over everything they are promising and saying that Darkfall is.
I guess I tend to be a rational guy and go with the odds rather then believe in improbable things that just don't add up and make sense.
If that makes me a troll, so be it.
But rather then combating my OP with simple one line answers that give nothing new and don't answer why my OP is not realistic or a genuine possibility does nothing. Convince me that Darkfall is real. And don't use the words "Tasos said this" or "Tasos said that". I don't believe a word he says. So convince me I'm ridiculous with my synopsis that explains everyhing perfectly to me with rational and reason, and perhaps I will listen. Name calling and attacking me does nothing to fortify your beliefs and why anyone who believes like I do that you are a fan with realistic expectations.
Convince me.
Isnt it nice were gonna get a long ingame video later this week then?
Isnt it nice were gonna get a long ingame video later this week then?
Yep. "In a few weeks" back in May. In August back in July. And now "soon". Again, as I have said, I don't believe a word that Tasos says. Convince me without referring to this video. You believe in Darkfall now. So surely there is rational reasons why you believe so firmly in Darkfall right now that you can share with me. I think I have shared why I doubt it, and done a good job of telling you what I think is much more likely. Your turn. Show me why you doubt me so much, but instead believe in Darkfall so much. If it's more "hope" then reasons, then I will even accept that. But give me as a non-believer something I can actually "grasp" and understand you with. Telling more of Tasos's crap just repels me more into believing that you are a fan without any rational reasoning as to why you believe Darkfall is not only real, but is going to "kick ass".

Does anyone on this thread know how many lines of code a game actually takes to program. lets just say millions isn't even 10%. Now they prolly have the game but they're just abunch of slackers like us all. And how many people actually are working on this... not alot...and do they have enough money....prolly not. How do you call your lil rant evidence anyways all it is is your opinion. I don't know how sooo many people can hate on a game thats still in development. Don't give me the hole crap about how long it has been in development because technology is always advancing and these guys have to code billions of lines of code, adapt to new technology, keep up with the world, earn enough money to make the game, all without a huge team like if a game was made by failcom or $oE they wouldnt have this problem... because they would have enough people to actually do the damn thing.

well if in seven years they still dont know what they are doing then they are pretty....eh..stupid i guess
i mean you can go to colleage and learn game programming/or designing in only 3 years....and with that you can make games....they have had double that and more to learn how to program and make a game...

this thread is simply amazing. i would really like to meet some of you in rl and get some kind of understanding on how people can think like. and OP must be new to spend all that time typing that thing out.
My prediction...
DF doesn't release a video this week, and instead puts it out in September.
Many people, myself included, are pissed off and many of the trolls get some serious firepower and spend time making threads throwing it in the fans faces. Why? because they lead sad lives.
Then the video is released and it details so many things that the realistic person understands that it is a real game.
Trolls cling on to whatever they can and call the video fake or not actual gameplay etc.
The game is released and depending on quality may end up being one of the best niche sandboxy pvp games the mmo community has seen to date.

I wouldn't call them stupid because I don't know them. I'm just debating about if the game actually exists or not and giving an opinion on the explanation. We can't prove the game doesn't exist and we can't prove that is does but these guys also have to learn the new technology when it comes out and their plan for their game will take alot of professional coders and honestly I dont think they're very professional.
