    Nice and all, I am just curious, where on earth did they come up with the setting in 18th century America?

    This is not a MMO it's one of many survival game. I don't think this article belongs to MMORPG.com.

    I suggest you hold that opinion until it is closer to release and when there is more public information.

    MMO simply means Massively Multiplayer Online. With 10k players/server it clearly is an MMO.

    Maybe because there is no game in that era?

    Maybe there is a reason why there's no game in that era...i.e. sounds boring?

    Looks ok.. unfortunate that there was no flora movement when running through tall grass. theHunter does that very well so hopefully Amazon with a far bigger budget can get around to doing the little things that bring the game together.

    I do think it is safe to say that when Survival games grow in scope and population (500 plus players in one world) they are the next step in the MMO evolution, I've said so before. New World is a step in that direction.

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Does this mean the NDA is lifted?

    The setting is reminiscence of 18th century America, but I promise you it isn't set in colonial america and its not trying to stay historical.

    The problem here is that most people got into MMOs after wow came out, so they think that MMO = theme park. This is looking interesting to me, as someone who started on UO and AC. I'd be down for a AAA budget game with an old UO feel. It's been a long time.

    The use of Conquistador type gear suggests, imo, a nominally early 16th century timeframe. Usually described as "The Age of Exploration" which would also fit with their New World label. It could span a century or two though after that, pre-industrial though.

    As for where North America and much of South America for sure. And the potential mystery of such places to European explorers will allow "magic" be it witchcraft, voodoo, shamanistic, aztec etc. etc. .... if that is a feature they want to add.

    How an individual views it though may well vary depending on where they are in the world ... and what graphic models they add; you are notgoing to look at the tootage and think "Japan" for example. It might prove generic enough to be Indonesia, New Zealand - maybe even Africa. Flora and wildlife start to play a part though.

    However this is a timeframe that allows for both early firearms and swords whilst armour still has a place. Ground travel will be on foot, horse or cart and sea battles will be possible but with no pesky planes!

    Generic but with enough historical material to be able to "suggest" Pirates of the Carribean, The Last of the Mohicans, Da Vinci's Demons, maybe Tarzan, King Kong, The Lost World and a host of other "stereotypical" stuff to "hook" players without paying for an IP. (Probably not Peter Pan since that has flying!)

    Well then, I saw a video of a guy playing. The combat is absolutely trash. I doubt it's something they plan on doing anything about or could do anything about. The game seems like its literally a gather, and make stuff until you get tired of it game. It's basically Landmark without the voxels or super custom building. The mobs are just another gathering resource. They're terrible and don't really serve any purpose beyond this. It looks decent though. Maybe they'll implement mounts or transport. The idea of making your gear, tools and housing is cool but there's no other redeeming qualities. This is a empty husk craft/gather/make game. The survival mechanics aren't even noticeable. Doesn't matter if they get 10,000 people on it at a time they have no real offerings.



    Lumberyard Tech Demo definitely confirmed.

    Well unless they hid another reveal somewhere behind their 3 last year(?), this was the only one people were caring about and so far its disappointing.

    I find something about this game very appealing. But unless they offer PvE servers, or at the very least, consensual PvP, then I ain't going anywhere near it!
