Am I the only one who kind of likes the retro feel of the graphics?
yes you are i think. the graphics look like they are from a game from 2003 at best...
Even Asherons Call 2 back in 2002 had graphics that blew this away. As well as animations...
nope he is not
I think the animations need to be improved some, but for the setting the graphics are perfect.
Also not better than AC2...ps no one is taking you seriously anymore you know that right?
Gameplay > graphics...and the graphics arent even that bad, just not super high quality. Plenty good enough to enjoy the game and lose yourself in it.
I'll say it again, the brief comment on graphics.
The character models look good, nothing extraordinary, but OK, so do the armors and weapons. The areas look rather bland and devoid of detail considering they are ahndcrafted and the effects (spell/water/stuff), look horrible.
I really, really don't like that they only showed zooomed in snippets of the UI. YOu don't get ONE single shot of the UI as you would play the game, it's always zoomed in close for some reason.
Combat looked fast and chaotic, which I suppose will be fun, though the animations look...a little like the spell effects.
Anyway, some nice stuff in there, but not what I had hoped for. Still, signed up for the Beta so I might see for myself.
3) alot looks staged,,,in fact...there was very little in game footage
wow really? is this a serious post?
They are really really reaching now folks, and the best part is no one is listening to them. We are all too busy enjoying the video, feeling good about being right in the DF drama, and signing up for beta.
very little in game footage? It has been awhile since my calc classes in school, but im pretty sure "100%" in game footage is a more than "very little"
That and I watched the video and you know...saw it myself.

Age of Conan and Vanguard both have hardly any players and their graphics are the best on the market. LotRO is running off the same engine as Asheron's Call 2 (which at the time was so intensive no one could play). And the biggest game right now? WoW, which has TERRIBLE graphics, with WAR close behind, which has a more stylized DAoC/WoW hybrid of graphics.
As a final note, there's no way collision detection, physics, twitch combat, and massive battles can all happen if the graphics were Age of Conan level. Remember AoC amazing PvP? Neither do I, thats cause you can't get more than 30 people fighting before it goes to hell.
Impressive. The grafix were better then expected but the character movment looked a little robotic but what game doesent ( not a big issue). If its actuall game play they have really done well with the blood and facial feature effects etc. Nothing like seeing the pain on your victoms face as he goes down . I hope there will be an actual beta to see if they can deliver all they have promissed.
I want to play so badly it hurts. Beta please come my way.
The feeling you get from watching these live ingame battles is great. I put myself in the shoes of some of the people playing for the video and just think how cool it would be.
Im walking with a couple of my friends, maybe after we just took down a pve mob with some great loot. Then all of a sudden they start dropping one at a time...there is an archer somewhere.
I start feeling scared because we have this loot we need to protect and we are about to lose it. Heart starts pumping a little because of the real pvp consequences so i take cover.
Then i see the archer in the tree as he takes out another one of my friends. I line up my spell and knock him off to his doom, and we all breathe a sigh of relief.
This is real pvp. Real immersion. A truly real experience. Something this genre needs badly.
my problem is not with the graphics at all. 1) everything looked and felt stiff....i know anuimations will be subject to improvement....but i wasnt blown away by it 2) lands seemed really empty 3) alot looks staged,,,in fact...there was very little in game footage 4) the crafting UI part...i could have sworn we seen something like that previously.... 5) the ui itself...bleh 6) i just don't get the hype for this game...while it looks good on paper, we still haven't really seen anything substantial. I would love for it to be real....but i still get the nagging - Mourning feeling. I will wait and reserve judgement if it ever gets released and people play it
You never played a skill based, sandbox game did you ?
See all that land ? There to be built on by the players.
See all those houses ? There to be build by players and burned down by their enemies. No "player city areas" in this game.
See all those vehicles ? There to be built and take them where you want to.
See all those mounts ? There to move your char around but be careful, they can be killed and you knocked off it.
See all those armors and weapons ? There (any one of them) to be build by players.
See those characters ? There to be formed as you want it, not some dev who thiks they know better than you.

What features did you NOT see in the video? This was all free roaming camera of the devs playing, cut down from an entire terabyte of data. Only thing that looks staged is the final shot, and a few of the ambushes maybe. And there are obviously the things like the ship fighting where they needed to coordinate the arrival of different fleets, but that's a far cry from scripting. And you saw the UI, same UI thats in the screenshots. Very small UI with a command bar.

Oh? That's what the game will be like? I'm sorry, that didn't "wow" me at all. But, I hope it succeeds because people do seem to like the idea of it. And if it delivers, that's great - all gamers should have a game they're happy in.

Well if I'm understanding him right. He's thinking like I am. Which would mean his reference to in-game footage is more akin to him saying staged. Don't know if it is or isn't but when I looked it it, it did indeed feel staged to me. When I saw the video up thread. First thing I thought was game play movie. While indeed it is an in-game video it was more like an in-game promotional movie.
Honestly when the comments about the video first started popping up a couple months ago. First thing I thought when I heard them talk about what the video would be was. Something like what Mass Effect had. Which was video's of a guy playing the game. They didn't really show the guy playing. You just basically saw him playing, and every now and then. He would stop and explain something about what was going or or about to happen.
While what the video was and what I had hoped for are different. I really can't fault the video for it. It was just my mis-understanding of what the video was going to be about. As I said earlier, I do not know if it was or wasn't scripted/staged. I was just hoping for something that wasn't, and I believe that is what Miagisan, third point is about. If it isn't I apologize, Miagisan.

They could take out the full loot part as far as im concerned as I really dont care about loot period. If I get rolled in pvp and have to spend half the day to re-gear my toon thats 1/2 a day waisted imo.
Why is it that the rabid fabois can't reply to constructive criticism? I'd really like to know what you all think of the -FACT- that you only saw zoomed in snippets of the UI and not ONE fullscreen UI view. I was very disappointed by that. Only little bits. maybe like...10 seconds out of the whole video you see an actual interface.
And while the graphics are all right in some respects, the spells and the water and so on and so forth look plain horrible, along with the rather empty outdoors (which might of course grow better when players actually build there, could be).
Anyway, have fun everyone and calm down a little. You got a video, but it did not deliver as much as I had hoped. But it did deliver more than I thought it would. So we'll see what the beta has to say.
Am I the only one who kind of likes the retro feel of the graphics? Aside from that, I think this is finally the game to knock Vanguard off its throne for best looking environments and game world. Though Vanguard still holds the crown for best dungeons Seeing the ships fire from underwater, the skiffs floating down the river while people fish, amazing.
Only thing I don't really care for is the particle effects feel a bit weak. BUT the big thing to remember is that if the graphics were state of art, the game wouldn't even function. Look at Age of Conan's poor excuse for PvP. Barely fit 40 people in the screen before everything locks up.
Yes absolutely excelent , the gameplay looks to be there at last some fun and complexity. As you said if they cranked up the graphics too much everything will slow and dilute the gameplay.
You can always work on the graphics but if the coding is not upto scratch changing the mechanics is normally not an option.. The professional trollers will be gearing up and no need to come here anymore bye bye.

Thats how a combat system should work, finally a real MMO. Other then that, im in peace right now. And all the trolls can go and *¤#" themselves....again.
While this is a step in the right direction it's not a giant step. They have had videos before.
So seriously DF fanboys you got thrown a bone with this video. Nothing more nothing less.
You're all sitting around gloating with hard-ons over what, a video? You're not playing a G-damn thing yet. Until then stfu and try and show a bit of class and maturity.
If this games comes out and it's all that it's cracked up to be then tear into the trolls. Until then... Shhhhh
Well hello to you to.
Roin, atleast had the IQ to laugh at my post.
And DF trolls can write about ejakulating in Tasos face, and i tell them to go and*#"¤ themselves! Thats nothing in comparison! And why the hell did you react to my post?? I didnt talk about you. So dont try any of that "Brooklyn big mama bullshit attitude" here.

The UI is supposed to be very simple , it is about gameplay. You need bags and a health bar. As long as the ground unde rmy feet in the game is solid then I can ask for no more this looks like it will offer some great gameplay and at last someone with the conviction to create a great game.
I feel for the dissapointed but I guess they will be a minority , the haters will hate regardless of anything DF produces so to be honest I care little for the diatribe. While you sit and hate we will be having fun. Bye Bye have an unpleasant evening.

Just a heads up...im not attacking you here. I just think what you said is a perfect example of what i want to explain...
Your 1/2 day waisted comment is the reason why a lot of us are so excited about this game. While i dont think a 1/2 day of tiem spent in game will be wasted (you had fun while playing right)...it is the reason why this game will be so immesive.
In WoW, WAR, AoC, etc...you go into pvp and have no problem blindly rushing into a battle. Or have any concern about any consequences.
That fear of losing 1/2 day of your work is the reason why you will feel immersed. The freedom this game gives is amazing. You wont just aim yourself at the next town and hit autorun...you will carefully scout out the area and appreciate the chances someone is looking at you right now ready to pounce.
You will pm a few friends with message like "Hey guys I just crafted 10 superior quality swords for the guild, can you guys come give me some back up while I carry them to x location?"
This is definitely a niche game. It will NEVER see numbers like WoW, WAR, etc...but it will be populated and will be exciting if it released well.
This game looks like a modern day Asheron's Call, taken up a notch. I really wish them the best and hope they pull it off. If they do and it makes a lot of money, it could end the cycle of clones this genre has been getting the last few years.

Full loot, is the best anti Zerg weapon ever. Now you can hurt your enemy while enriching your self. No more repeative kill, die, kill, die with no conequence.

You sir, are an excellent example of why I find most DF Fans so very annoying. You insult people without regards of what they post as long as they post ANY possible criticism of the game. You are about on the same level as the Trolls, because a normal discussion is not possible with you either.
Anyway, your assumption of DF's UI is incorrect by the way. Because the little screenshots we have of DF's UI shows a skillbar along with what you apparently believe is the only thing there should be. And while yes, a simple UI may be good, I would still like to see it, because it would show me much more that there are actual people playing and HOW they are playing than what I've seen in this Video.
Anyway, I hope you will find what you are looking for in DF, but please keep your insults and assumptions about me. Thank you very much.

Grafix are plenty good enough if they can deliver what they promiss. Gameplay over Grafix anyday.
But still Ill believe all this when i see an actual beta running. Untill then see ya in Warhammer.

Be a good little fanboy and get in Beta, then make a video with fraps showing us UI and all the awesome features that are promised. Thank you!
I will!
And if i dont get picked, im sure there will be plenty of videos for you to find something else to critique.
Yesterday ~ Vaporware
Today ~ Ummmm?

wow really? is this a serious post?
They are really really reaching now folks, and the best part is no one is listening to them. We are all too busy enjoying the video, feeling good about being right in the DF drama, and signing up for beta.

Well if I'm understanding him right. He's thinking like I am. Which would mean his reference to in-game footage is more akin to him saying staged. Don't know if it is or isn't but when I looked it it, it did indeed feel staged to me. When I saw the video up thread. First thing I thought was game play movie. While indeed it is an in-game video it was more like an in-game promotional movie.
Honestly when the comments about the video first started popping up a couple months ago. First thing I thought when I heard them talk about what the video would be was. Something like what Mass Effect had. Which was video's of a guy playing the game. They didn't really show the guy playing. You just basically saw him playing, and every now and then. He would stop and explain something about what was going or or about to happen.
While what the video was and what I had hoped for are different. I really can't fault the video for it. It was just my mis-understanding of what the video was going to be about. As I said earlier, I do not know if it was or wasn't scripted/staged. I was just hoping for something that wasn't, and I believe that is what Miagisan, third point is about. If it isn't I apologize, Miagisan.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.

They could take out the full loot part as far as im concerned as I really dont care about loot period. If I get rolled in pvp and have to spend half the day to re-gear my toon thats 1/2 a day waisted imo.
Why is it that the rabid fabois can't reply to constructive criticism? I'd really like to know what you all think of the -FACT- that you only saw zoomed in snippets of the UI and not ONE fullscreen UI view. I was very disappointed by that. Only little bits. maybe like...10 seconds out of the whole video you see an actual interface.
And while the graphics are all right in some respects, the spells and the water and so on and so forth look plain horrible, along with the rather empty outdoors (which might of course grow better when players actually build there, could be).
Anyway, have fun everyone and calm down a little. You got a video, but it did not deliver as much as I had hoped. But it did deliver more than I thought it would. So we'll see what the beta has to say.

Yes absolutely excelent , the gameplay looks to be there at last some fun and complexity. As you said if they cranked up the graphics too much everything will slow and dilute the gameplay.
You can always work on the graphics but if the coding is not upto scratch changing the mechanics is normally not an option.. The professional trollers will be gearing up and no need to come here anymore bye bye.

While this is a step in the right direction it's not a giant step. They have had videos before.
So seriously DF fanboys you got thrown a bone with this video. Nothing more nothing less.
You're all sitting around gloating with hard-ons over what, a video? You're not playing a G-damn thing yet. Until then stfu and try and show a bit of class and maturity.
If this games comes out and it's all that it's cracked up to be then tear into the trolls. Until then... Shhhhh
Well hello to you to.
Roin, atleast had the IQ to laugh at my post.
And DF trolls can write about ejakulating in Tasos face, and i tell them to go and*#"¤ themselves! Thats nothing in comparison! And why the hell did you react to my post?? I didnt talk about you. So dont try any of that "Brooklyn big mama bullshit attitude" here.
The UI is supposed to be very simple , it is about gameplay. You need bags and a health bar. As long as the ground unde rmy feet in the game is solid then I can ask for no more this looks like it will offer some great gameplay and at last someone with the conviction to create a great game.
I feel for the dissapointed but I guess they will be a minority , the haters will hate regardless of anything DF produces so to be honest I care little for the diatribe. While you sit and hate we will be having fun. Bye Bye have an unpleasant evening.

Just a heads up...im not attacking you here. I just think what you said is a perfect example of what i want to explain...
Your 1/2 day waisted comment is the reason why a lot of us are so excited about this game. While i dont think a 1/2 day of tiem spent in game will be wasted (you had fun while playing right)...it is the reason why this game will be so immesive.
In WoW, WAR, AoC, etc...you go into pvp and have no problem blindly rushing into a battle. Or have any concern about any consequences.
That fear of losing 1/2 day of your work is the reason why you will feel immersed. The freedom this game gives is amazing. You wont just aim yourself at the next town and hit autorun...you will carefully scout out the area and appreciate the chances someone is looking at you right now ready to pounce.
You will pm a few friends with message like "Hey guys I just crafted 10 superior quality swords for the guild, can you guys come give me some back up while I carry them to x location?"
This is definitely a niche game. It will NEVER see numbers like WoW, WAR, etc...but it will be populated and will be exciting if it released well.

This game looks like a modern day Asheron's Call, taken up a notch. I really wish them the best and hope they pull it off. If they do and it makes a lot of money, it could end the cycle of clones this genre has been getting the last few years.

Full loot, is the best anti Zerg weapon ever. Now you can hurt your enemy while enriching your self. No more repeative kill, die, kill, die with no conequence.

You sir, are an excellent example of why I find most DF Fans so very annoying. You insult people without regards of what they post as long as they post ANY possible criticism of the game. You are about on the same level as the Trolls, because a normal discussion is not possible with you either.
Anyway, your assumption of DF's UI is incorrect by the way. Because the little screenshots we have of DF's UI shows a skillbar along with what you apparently believe is the only thing there should be. And while yes, a simple UI may be good, I would still like to see it, because it would show me much more that there are actual people playing and HOW they are playing than what I've seen in this Video.
Anyway, I hope you will find what you are looking for in DF, but please keep your insults and assumptions about me. Thank you very much.
