A Cinematic Look at The Art of War (Pre-Alpha Footage) - Ashes of Creation Videos - MMORPG.com

The Ashes of Creation team has put up a brand new video called "The Art of War" showing the Predator, a ranged assassin-type with a pretty wicked invisibility ability, as he makes his way through outdoor environments, through a city and on into battle. It's a great look at some in-game footage and more. Enjoy!

Cool I guess? Animations still look a bit stiff and charters seem a little plasticy like SWTOR.

"In-game footage" of a cinematic?

i know its completely stupid. reminds me of crappy shadowbane. mmorpg with the hype train! one freaking cinematic and the hype begins!

Eh, cool to see but lacking both in terms of mmo realism and anything other than purchased engine assets meshed together. I highly doubt one guy with a bow doing infinite damage should/could/would get through all those layers of defenses in a MASSIVELY multiplayer online game.

More sketchy videos.... No way in the world this is actually gameplay.... At least not in an open world.... Stay away from this game...

Love how every game just takes their crowd funded money, makes a half baked cinematic....(This is one is pretty bad....at least SC cinematics were frigging awesome), and then the simple minded get enthralled and just start throwing money at cinematics that literally have nothing to do with the game.
A fool and his moms moneys......as they say.

I am not too sure this is a cinematic at least not entirely. They said the next video will have them walk around the city and show us where the relic is and so forth.

It says in the article clearly that this is a cinematic...
Cinematic Pre-Alpha Footage showing our Predator class in action. Watch as the predator infiltrates a metropolis, to secure a relic before a siege.

And anyway this looks like all of their other "gameplay" videos.. Maybe we missed the little letters saying those are cinematics as well... Remember the game is run by a con artist that had a pyramid scheme company under his management ... It has barely any time in development... Until we have a playable version to review by common gamers i wouldn't bother looking at the game.

To be honest i am tired of the words alpha and pre-alpha...We shouldnt even be hearing about games, not to mention investing, in alpha state.

kruler

With the somewhat colourful past history of the guy running this, the very very last thing anyone should be doing is giving money to him via crowdfunding, its him doing his old tricks but with a new skin.
Anyone knowingly or connected to pyramid schemes or other financial cons should be barred from crowdfunding as gamers bless their cotton socks are worse than the get rich quick believers.

I will start getting interested once they start showing off the own team's skills and the actual game.

Phry

After watching that i am truly wondering if this game is actually going to be a real game, and not 'vapour ware' so many red flags all over this. O.o

They don't have the money yet tho

this game is going to take a long time before it is finished and releases as a finished game.

I really don't think anyone should judge them harsly based one one pre-alpha video which wasn't even done from the backing money. ( Kickstarters don't get their money before the actual end date of the campaign).
I suggest you to do some research and maybe even listen to interviews - for ex. "TheLazyPeon" did one long one so you would understand much more about their philosophy.
Dont't get me wrong ...No mans Sky did many of the same steps and failed miserably so i am hesitant of backing them right now as well.

From the cinematic perspective yeah animations were very stiff and seemed to be very low budget. Spell effects itself were even better than the running and walking animations. You could pretty much even see the looping moment in walking.

Assasin Creed alpha?

That was cringeworthy - even for pre-alpha cinematic in game demo footage.



Who are they trying to kid here? Umm nobody is falling for this BS

On the contrary, they seem to be falling all over themselves to throw money at these pre-pre-alpha cinematic engine demo pre-trailers, lol

Assassins Creed....climbing walls and shit is so stupid.

Galadourn

Looking good. I would prefer actual gameplay though,. hope this Friday's twitch has some.

Talmien

Here's the only real game play footage I have seen so far, and it's still just a tech demo and doesn't look that engaging at all. The game is 5+ years out from being released, and that's if this team can pull it off.
