where did you hear 5 people? it started off with 5 when razorwax begun the production, but they moved into aventurine and have had 30-40 people for quite a few years now.
I just watched a video on it, I saw better graphics on my Atari 2600.
And what exactly did you do to your atari?
No kidding! I'll be the first to admit that I don't particularly care for the art direction and that I think the game needs some serious finishing touches, but if the last trailer was really captured on medium settings, then it's at least in the same ballpark of most of the other MMOs on the market right now.
the graphic are fine! this is what you need to have massive battles.
Darkfall devs are smart and wont pull an age of conan. They are catering to all people. I know some people who went out to buy 1500 dollar rigs just to play AOC. With darkfall people with 6600Gts could be playing and its great!.
Most likely +50 working on the game as we speak. Have a nice one
True story. And as far as the graphics go, I really don't think they're that bad. And with the release still months away, they have time to do some touch ups. As also mentioned above, top of the line AoC graphics won't run 100v100 player battles. Two thumbs up for Darkfall Dev's.

Have you seen the 2007 and 2008 screenshots? They look way better than the new video, They are at least next gen worthy and blow away most run of the mill MMO's and easly come close to some of the top dogs out there. Not the best for sure, but the screenshots look very nice. Deffinently something you wont find on any ordinary atari
my question would be, how is this game so hyped when nobody around has even tested it, and how a game that haven't even shown in games conventions such as GC or PAX is 4th at this site in hype terms, another good question would be how a game which company has released nothing has so much support.
I guess people are really dessperate for an UO clone.
I know you don't really think that 5 people are still making this game. It was started by about 5 people years ago, but it has since been turned into an actual development studio. As someone said before, last estimates for employees at Aventurine are around 40 or so people.

The features Darkfall is supposed are very attractive to people looking for more depth than the current generation of themepark mmorpg's provide.
There's nothing else on the market or coming out soon that has these features.
Exactly, the warship PvP is very new to the Mmorpg saga. I am mostly attracted to this game because of it. The graphics are ok, I don't really care about graphics because graphics get old in a week. The explosions are the weakest graphics in the game, but I will most likely not notice after a week or 2.
Dark fall is going to be a gateway to new skill based games in the future most likely. Till then, I hope I get into beta

wow, almost 1700 hours of hello kitty online? What the hell do you do for 1700 hours ?

This.
Plus as others have said, there are way more than 5 people working on the game at this point. Though it may have started out that way in its conception.
ill take graphics over gameplay anyday.... quakeworld still beats most new release fps's coming out today and it looks pretty dated(even with all the mods and such).... doesn't mean its not good and like other people have stated: larger scale battles would lag if the graphics were pimped out so they are balanced for the large scale combat that is intended for the game.

Your post doesn't make sense. Im thinking you meant to say gameplay over graphics.
meh, there's nothing wrong with cloning perfection. a uo clone is what the gaming community needs with all of these carebear, noob-loving games out there.
soon the wait will be over... in the case of "soon" meaning 1-2 years anyways.
5 people working on this game?? thats pretty crazy but they have done quite alot for 5 people However I guess thats why its taking so long . But if they were smart they would hire more people!
Exactly, the graphics are fine for this game. I think the world looks really interesting and fun to explore. I think they hand created practically all of the world, so its likely to be unique and not bland. Gameplay > Graphics any day.
However even if its not OutDated it is possible. One works on the engine one works on the story one works one serverside stuff one works on graphics. and one just works where he is needed. It could explain why this game is plagued with delays.

LOL! I thought Hello Kitty was more of a kids game...I was showing it to my daughter the other day asking if she wanted me to install it for her. Seeing there seems to be so many adults playing it...I will keep her away from it for a while.
As for ppl desperate for a UO clone....why the hell not? Most of us have been playing EQ clones for the past 10 years.
I am not a huge fan of DF , but should it release n do well, I think that is great. At least it could start a new trend in the MMO market.

WOW! You must have gotten really lucky becaus my Atari had some pretty deplorable graphics.
Kids like you are a joke. Somewhere, there is a bridge missing its troll.

Where is the number 5 coming from? Link?
graphics are uber, i really like Henning Ludvigsens art direction. He is a very capable guy.
Check some of his work here:

some animations and explotions could maybe be improved judging from the latest video, but overall the graphics are very nice.

Hey, don't forget that they were working on it part-time too! It should be a laugh if nothing else.
Outdated date troll uses outdated data.
