in Darkfall

Okay, maybe this video has already been discussed, I'm not sure. I didn't see it in any recent threads here.

    Yup its pretty old (about the time of the ADW video so 2ish months) but the threads that talk about it are well off the front page so I can see how it may have looked like it hadn't been brought up.

    It is a welcomed reminder though as it makes me laugh even harder at the people who still think there is a chance this game isn't real.

    Yes, It's obvious that something is "real" but Dark and Light was "real" too. So was "Age of Mourning". Being real certainly doesn't mean that this game will actually run smoothly without tremendous bugs, problems, graphical glitches. Real also don't mean that this game will be successful.

    Something is real about it. That's obvious.

    Ever think that the reason they had to sort through over a TB of video to get the 17 min of video they released to the public was to make sure that they wasn't going to be showing any video to us that revealed problems, bugs, glitches, lag, etc??

    It's almost December now. They have PROMISED that this game would launch by the end of the year. Not once, but several times now. And they have stated that everything was running great and they were on schedule for release by the end of 2008.

    5 weeks...

    The only thing real I smell so far is real Bull crap coming from Tasos's promises. Again. Imagine that. He is getting very good at spreading lies and empty promises, isn't he?

    Sorry, but I go back to what I really have always believed.... That this game has "FAIL" written all over it. And when it's "truth" is discovered, with as many years and as much hype as this game has had, Darkfall will certainly go down as one of the biggest disasters in video game history. I'm talking the kind of disaster that will make a game like "Age of Conan" which you all trash so often look like a colossal success.

    Again, I hope I am wrong. But experience and common sense tells me I am pretty close to right on target here concerning Darkfall.

    That TV spot is obviously faked in someone's garage and then touched up with photoshop. If you look carefully the 'computers' that the developers were working with were just cardboard boxes.

    So was World of Warcraft and EVE online.

    EVERY mmo releases like that.
    Real also don't mean that this game will be successful.
    No, but being reasonably successful is quite common for mmo releases.
    Darkfall certainly has a lot of followers though. 190,000 people on forumfall.

    Have you ever used fraps? The video files that it creates are un-compressed and freaking HUGE. Even on half-size (which is quarter size by screen area) recording just one minute of recording can easily exceed 500MB.
    It's almost December now. They have PROMISED that this game would launch by the end of the year. Not once, but several times now. And they have stated that everything was running great and they were on schedule for release by the end of 2008.
    As far as anyone knows, this has not changed. The recent Italian preview that was exempt from the NDA didn't mention any problems.


    And even if the release slips into January ... who cares? Oh no! The release has slipped by a WHOLE MONTH! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
     
    lol

    What 'lies' and 'empty promises'?
    Sorry, but I go back to what I really have always believed.... That this game has "FAIL" written all over it.
    Wow. You really hate Darkfall ... a game that hasn't even released yet.





    Imagine that.
    And when it's "truth" is discovered, with as many years and as much hype as this game has had, Darkfall will certainly go down as one of the biggest disasters in video game history. I'm talking the kind of disaster that will make a game like "Age of Conan" which you all trash so often look like a colossal success.
    A bitter AoC fanboi perhaps?





    Games will sink or swim on their own merits. Darkfall is no different in that regard. It has a lot of things going for it, and many aspects of the game are revolutionary, so I'm sure it has a greater chance of being successful than <insert name of cookie-cutter game here>
    Again, I hope I am wrong. But experience and common sense tells me I am pretty close to right on target here concerning Darkfall.
     
    Based upon what? Your reasoning is based upon thin air.

    That's going to be hard to do, for Darkfall to go down as one of the biggest disasters in video game history. The developers of TAbula Rasa spent over 100 Million US dollars on that game, and to date it's only brought in 5 million dollars in revenue, and now it's getting ready to close down.

    I don't know the numbers on Darkfall, but they are going have to work hard to play in that league of disasters.

    Oh but he didn't say anything about that. He merely said the game was real. Something the vapor trolls have been shouting for years now. And some still hold on to. The ones that are still around are merely reduced to saying "well... ok so its real, but its going to suck for sure!".

    I think you have a point. With all the hype surrounding the game on this site, I think people forget that outside of this community, DF is probably not as widely known about as many would have us believe.

    If DF bombs, it will sink without a trace. If it does well, it will slowly grow over a period of months/years.

    This is true. Everyone I've talked to about DF didn't know what it was. But Aventurine doesn't do any marketing so no surprise there.

    that is 14% of randomly selected gamers on a vent channel (im asuming not considering youself which would be  17%

    that is pretty awesomly high for an unreleased mmo without advertising.. word of mouth seems to be doing very well.. and the game isnt out yet

    With all the hype you have to wonder if Darkfall will be another Dark and Light but worse or just another Shadowbane.

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
