Dead

judgebeojudgebeo Member Posts: 419
in Darkfall

Im surprised, cause I saw a video... a "test" video. I know after all this years is a poor thing, but, I was really thinking that this game was dead, no updates of the mainpage etc...

 

so here comes the answer: will ever see the light? when it cames up, will be anyone interested on such old features?

    Old features?

    *Looks around at all the other games*

    Old features?

    Yeah Old features, features that made Ultima Online what it was... yeah old features. That as of today are really innovative and will cacht a lot of people. Players used to the easy way needing more.

    As much as I loved UO, it was very linear.  The features promised in darkfall far surpass that of any other titles from the past, present, or near future.  I guess I just have a problem classifying them as *old features*.  I agree with you though... it will be an innovative title if it ever launches.

    The base ideas where  "old"  in terms of late 90's early 2000's  but because other  companies betrayed them   for  develop some easy templated game for the easy  cash and low consumer tastes  DF continue the way  of better  featured games ,so it seems to me from the info is given by the company.

    It is another question if they keep the promised features in release.  But  IMO  an MMO SHOULD  contain these features or esle design a singleplayer game and offer some multiplayer maps but in that case you NOT ALLOWED to call you game a MMO.

    Darkfall will never be released.  They gave a new video, but what does it show.  A few scenery shots with sparsely any content at all.

    For a game company to take THAT long to complete what we have seen, people must realise that they are dreaming.

    Come on, someone has to have it... please post Dr. McCoy's "It's dead, Jim"  screen shot.  It is soooooo ftting for this thread.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    I don't understand how anyone could say the game is "dead".  Will be fun when it releases, there will be tens of thousands of people playing, and you people will still say it doesn't exist.

    The features are not new ... it i the design/concept and the interoperability between the features that is key. The expectation here is that the underlying code will make the difference and generate a real game not just a piece of trash eye candy...

    When I said old features, I was not only talking about "what you can do". There are also not a high quality graphics in front games like aoc or war that will be previously released. also, reading description of the game seems that the feats are very "abstract", in the way there is no clue on how them will be implemented, I can have lot of ideas about a game, but when I have to mix them all and make them playable and balanced, then, there is a problem.

    Im not saying this is not possible or this is a bad thing, just commenting that the game didnt bring "anything new" during years...

    Btw, Im not saying that this one is dead, just its seems to go VERY slow in the development, and, perhaps, this will never be released... some years after, we got a nice test video but, is just a test video of some backgrounds, nothing else, in front of the textures that seems a bit old the movement are smooth and really fluid. But, can we judge a game with this video? can we say, this game will be released? will we have a beta on 20010? or perhaps the development was frozen and they start to work again?

    Man I hope beta is before 20010 because the Dev's would be long dead and same for us.

    2010 is what I am sure you ment but we will see Closed Beta/Open Beta in 2008 "Mark My Words"

    Sooner or Later

    Here's a quick question:

    How can you "garrentee" it?  I'm just curious.

    And what will you do to "garrentee" it?  Like would you bet money or your life on it?

    Cause I can have the paperwork drawn up.

    I can't, just like he can't.  Nobody can for published, we just don't know.

    I wanted to see his proof for the 2008 one.  He's saying 2008 is a sure fire thing... I wanted to see how sure he was on 2008.

    I like how the guy who can't spell "hiatus" makes fun of someone's inability to spell.  Hilarious.

    He qualified his statement with "just about" which you seemed to miss. Also using spellingfault to discredit your opponent on an international forum is bad form at best.

    UO was linear? UO as in Ultima Online? Could you please explain how UO was linear in the slightest please?

    Well duh, its because in UO you couldnt make a character the way you wan-wait... you could....

    I know! its because the game held your hand and showed you the way from city to city by use of clever ques- wait... nm, it didnt...

    Aha! it was linear because it ummm....
