    WAR is very different from WoW, but also have some similartities (like UI or art style, as both games are based on Warhammer lore).
    Darkfall is poor Shadowbane clone with no chance for real existence, as their developers don't have money for servers, GMs, tech supports etc. Even more, judging from this DF vid, they even don't have money for some real cg artists. DF is like D&L 2.

I guess only the faq's can give that answer in theory but I'm not sold on any hype, I'll try both games, glad they both at least have dwarves.



     

    Darkfall is very hardcore with complex gameplay, free for all full loot.

    And it looks much much better then warhammer watch new movie!!!!!

    Its 100% sandbox

    Warhammer=themepark with casual pvp for the mass, cartoony's and mediocre grafics.

     

     

    This, plus Darkfall is skill based both with regards to no classes and also that combat is first person shooter like.

    Also it has true sieging, not over NPC type cities, but your own cities that you have worked hard to build. Player Housing. Crop growing. Intricate player crafting. Total control over your characters path.

    Plus,its a total vaporware.



     

    Darkfall is COMMING!!!!

    watch latest ingame non scripted movie, here on MMORPG.COM!!!!!!

    I don t see anything coming xcept one big reality check one day.

    lol at people still thinking this game doesn't exist.  not sure why you support a site that seems to think otherwise (see front page)...

    Always good for a laugh though.  Wonder why they are so scared ?

    Have to agree with you there. It's like they just throw all logic and common sense out the window and start typing.

    different ppl will play the games darkfall will be your hardcore older ppl
    WAR will be full of ex wow players

    dont copaire the two

    My crystal balls batteries are low sorry.

    When anyone gets their hands on DF we'll let you know.

    WAR is more is for folks who like the traditional MMO. They're all pretty much copies of each other except adding in a few details that "seem" to make them "unique" or "exciting"

     

    Darkfall is a game that offers a lot more features that most mmo's do not have.

     

    I'd much rather play a new game than the same copies for years.

  • TinybinaTinybina Member Posts: 2,130

    Why on earth are we comparing Warhammer to a so called MMO that was due out 12 years ago anyways?....

     

    I mean this is simple Warhammer > Vaporware

     

    The End.

    Darkfall (if released and IF any good, alot of if's) will be the game for diehard pvp'ers, more of a niche thing. Warhammer will probably be biger and more popular but also more for the average gamer.

    Just my estimation, I'l give both a shot.

    Sorry.  Do other people's opinions bother you?

    I agree the thread is a little off with the comparisons because both games are really taking different gameplay paths, but the discussion is legit enough to warrent the thread.

    Oh and I know you are just trolling but DF was not due out 12 years ago and I guess you havent been paying attention but look for a beta in a few months with a plan for a 2008 release.  You can find the link to beta signups in my signiture if you havent already signed up =)

    Thanks

    And my opinion on the two is pretty simple.  WAR will be a great game.  I have checked out the classes, did the preview weekend, and mythic is a great company.  This game will be very popular and successful, and I am very happy that the game looks like it is in amazing shape.

    That being said, until DF exploded on friday with the Video and a Beta/Release Timeframe, I was on board with my guild for WAR.  Now, a lot of us are like ehhhh lets see if we get into beta first, WAR will always be there.

    I have berated people for the "war is a wow clone" or "war stole from wow" arguement, so please dont read this as that.  But I cant help but look at this game and not remember WoW.  The graphics are the same which is fine i think they fit perfectly, and the UI etc is just all too familiar.  Now the gameplay is much different and to be honest, if WAR released in 2003 with WoW, I probably would have never played WoW. 

    But now almost everyone I talk to, and I have always been on pvp servers so the crowd I get my geek on with is all pvpers, says that WAR if anything will just be a filler till DF now if DF releases strongly.  It just offers too unique of an experience and for straight up pvp experience, (yes i know WAR is RVR etc etc but cmon) DF is just "it".

    So tl;dr:  WAR will be amazing and really give this industry some WoW competition in terms of the playerbase.  DF needs to release well with stable servers and feature complete to do well, and if it does it is going to turn a LOT of heads and could really go high while remaining kind of a niche game.

    Tinybina...your sig quote is wrong. It wasn't Mr Smith....it was Agent Smith.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    You are comparing a legitimate piece of software with vaporware. Revisit the debate once the vaporware materializes and can be played.
     
    So, are you saying that WAR was vaporware 6 months ago?

    Not sure if 6 months is the right time, but I'll be specific:

    To the point that Warhammer Online was not a playable demo by the general populace it was, indeed, vaporware. I don't know when Warhammer became a beta, but roughly that time it ceased to be vaporware.

    Any developer can claim their software does a thing. Until they can demonstrate through the user that their software does such a thing it is vaporware. Until you can play it, it's vaporware...pie in the sky promises.

    Well, if that's your definition of vaporware, I have no quarrel with calling DF vaporware.  I don't personally care whether it is or not, because I'm sick and effing tired of elf/dwarf/orc games, but it would be nice to see a game with this kind of formula succeed.

    you are probably one of those people that said Bioware is not making a KOTOR MMO right :)?

    people just like to talk a lot of crap:  

         comparing blizzard's dev team of over 100 people (150 people as per games credits check ur WoW manual :D ) and over 4 years in development,   to a team of 10+ for first year or 2 of development?! Get serious folks. 

    Plus most mmo's released todate had the money for PR hype, Darkfall devs dont.  

    I'll bet same people like yourselves will be saying STO MMO has been in development since 2006 right? hehe, even though it was unnounced by a defunct company, and license was acquired since Jan of 2008.

    The only way to compare games, is to know them. And the only way to know them is to have played them.

    So will someone who has played the WAR beta and the Darkfall beta please enlighten us. Please I bet you.
