An exclusive Darkfall interview will be in the August edition of GameWorld

PolarizationPolarization Member Posts: 1,410

I found that an adminstrator on the GameWorld Forums has said they will have an exclusive Darkfall interview in their August edition.

http://www.gameworld.gr/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5171&highlight=darkfall

(relevent part translated by Google translator)

"Exclusive Interview for Darkfall Online will have the opportunity to read Games in August."

Hopefully some of the other interviews that Tasos has mentioned they will be doing will be in more mainstream English speaking publications.

    I'm curious if Adventurine actually  realizes a good group of their fanbase speaks English....

    I suppose Tasos actually fulfilled one of his promises though..

    he said "There are a couple of requests for online interviews which we’re doing as well."


    So there has to be at least one more to qualify as a “couple”, and hopefully it/they will be in English.

    Depends on if they actually get to play it hands-on during the interview.  If it's just another write up like that one with the lady from that women's gamer mag, or looping rehashed video.  I'll pass.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    It'll more than likely either be a phoned in interview with Tasos talking up a shitstorm of bull, or they'll have the interview at the magazines office. More of the same ol', same ol'.

    So no, to all the fanbois. No sorry trolls here.

  • PolarizationPolarization Member Posts: 1,410


    It’s possible that the online article may feature the new trailer shown at the convention, or it might just have screenshots of it or perhaps only describe it, time will tell.

    This is the same website as the one that covered the meeting of the Greek game developers at Microsoft Hellas offices which Tasos represented Aventurine at.

    So I presume Tasos gave them an interview at the same time, so I doubt that the interviewer played anything because apparently Tasos only had videos and screenshots for his presentation.

    Yep, same ol', same ol'.

    Gotta hand it to ol' Tasos, man. He gives us skeptics much better fuel than he gives his fanbase.

    Least he's good for something.

    Exclusive interviews and AudioVisual Enterprises announces their cooperation with Aventurine SA that will deal with exclusive publishing, distribution and utilization of On Line games in all the European countries.



    To that end AudioVisual will create a new Gaming Division, attributing to Aventurine a 35% of the sales in royalties. With the utilization of online games, AudioVisual estimates that it will avoid income loss from piracy of all kinds.

    Seems like the vaporvare rumours is about to go up in smoke. Very nice news indeed.

    A little cocky, aren't you Aragon?  Adventurine isn't even close to out of the woods yet.

    Still nothing to back up their statements

    An unexperienced publisher

    Still no beta

    No official release date

    Don't you see?  You are all being distracted and forgetting ACTUAL things that should be done.  They have yet to back up any of the statementd Tasos has made.

    Hell, even if this game miracally gets released, how do they plan to have it ready in six months?

    To me it seems like the wheels is rolling and were soon to have more good news. You wont get all in one day you know. Have some patience and faith mate.=)

    What do you know about how long they been polishing the game and for how long time they used professional QA-testers? A year, 2 years? I hope for 2 years so we dont get a Age of Conan release. Thing is, Aventurine dont share or hype as Funcom did. They have their own way. As far as now Aventurine Devs have never lied to their fans.

    Darkfall release 2008, damn cant wait.

    Best save that for after release in 2008.  Even though I dont think DF is vapor, I will be among the first to say you were "right"...but you will have to actually be right first.  I am funny that way.

    Nicely put Aragorn and based on the grief you have had to put up with it will be nice to see the trolls,haters and those that try to play the logic card whilst pretending that they know better. Sadly some of them don't know how, the entertainment is about to start...

    Well, since your stubborn and want to prove Tasos hasn't been BSing everyone this whole time, do us a favor and give reasons for Tasos blatantly lying about his past work experience to the people at that conference.

    Oh, and find out where those 3 million users are for me also, ok?

    Take your time.

    Mark my words. Darklfall will be a complete failure when people actually finally lay eyes on it. Just like DnL was. DnL was also hyped to high heaven by it's idiotic fanbois. Most of which went off to follow Darkfall...
    There's so many red flags it's just inevitable. Let the fanbois have a day in the sun. They'll be walking away with a real bad sunburn when it's all said and done.



     

    How you can compare 2 totally different Developer Teams with each other is beyond me. Im sure neither Tasos nor any other Darkfall developer ever worked on DnL? You have some other info in the matter?

    Name the 100 negative "facts" youre talking about please. Look i can write 200 negative facts, its really easy, look i can even write 300 negative facts. Thats really easy when you dont have to mention one of them, dont you agree? =)

    WoW had a publisher in Blizzard and look they did just fine. We can compare Darkfall with Blizzard from now on, publisher as publisher. Why only mention the game that really screwed up like DnL when you compare Darkfall with anything else? Strange isnt it? Or no it isnt, you want to compare Darkfall with the worst ever release so far cause you just dont like the game Darkfall.

    And last - didnt you see the last news on Darkfall website where Tassos (Greek spelling for Tasos) already informed us about the misquoting. This will be delt with asap -

    I see the community has already discovered a couple of news items so I'll briefly comment on them:



    As we've mentioned before we had been working on a self-publishing deal, and we've signed with AudioVisual Enterprises to work with us on the European distribution end of Darkfall's publishing. We will make an official announcement on this when it's time for it. Being a public company they are obligated to make a report of their dealings to the stock market and that's the announcement you read about. We're very happy to be working with them especially since we participate in the management of the project.



    About an article that appeared on a Greek game site on a short presentation I made at a Greek game developer conference, it's obvious that it contains many inaccuracies and mistakes due to limited knowledge on our game and company. I'm misquoted and misrepresented in the article and I sent them a correction request a few days ago but I see they haven't fixed it yet.



    What I said about Neocron specifically is that before Darkfall, the principles of Aventurine had looked at that game as a possible MMO title to be involved with.

    Again, it's not a "misquote". There is no way even the dumbest journalist could completely fabricate and "misquote" a persons entire work history accidentally. Tasos knew full well what was going to be printed, and now is trying to cover his ass because most people in the world are smart enough to see through blatant bullshit.

    Exactly.  This kind of thing doesn't happen.  He clearly lied about working on these projects to give him some credbility, but people will find out.   And we have found out, the closer and closer this game gets to released, one can only wonder how many lies we will be told.
