New World Hands On-Preivew - Amazon's MMO Definitely Leaves An Impression
Recently, Amazon hosted game critics at their Irvine studios to check out their upcoming MMO, New World. MMORPG was there and able to go hands on with the game, as well as chat with the dev team about their philosophy behind its development.

This whole thing is giving me Anthem vibes in the sense that they're pretty much launching the game in bare-bones and promise to work on it later....

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
So you only play indie games now?
oh and quoting works!

I think that's more old school thinking. Guild Wars 2 allows one to switch weapons and then of course gain skills as you use it. It's more than likely this is what they are doing.
The days of taking a year to do anything are probably gone for games developed by larger studios.
And just enjoying the quoting ...

Pass.
On to the game. I think the world detail is gonna really draw me in, if the gameplay and pvp is good i will stay.
Hopefully they will be ready for launch and will be able to handle the mass influx of players.

The author does indicate clearly as to why his review is more positive than others - He is not a PvP player. Still, to all you non-PvP players out there; Be wary of New World, everything about it so far simply reeks of lacking content, a result of them changing their game design fundamentals 180 degrees just 8 months before release.
This is incorrect. Because PvP battles are instanced, guilds will only want to take their 50 best players. Casual Bob is benched - permanently - from the only PvP content this game has to offer. Doubt me? Play ArcheAge, have fun joining a castle siege. Even Albion recently dropped instanced/capped wars due to it excluding too many players.
So there, New World, a game with effectively no PvP content, and only barebones fetch quest PvE content. Buyer beware.
I will play the beta and hopefully the Alpha and then make a decision.Currently.. I'm optimistic.

Yes, this might have been the "deal", aka .. come and play but don't record. Still .. I wanna see a video detailing everything the author have wrote.
Words in this ( gaming ) time and age is .. difficult to digest !

If they had released the game like originally planned then they would have to do constant PvP balance changes like every PvP game has to do. If you have other projects to work on that would be an impossible feat no matter how much money they have. Going the PVE route removes that responsibility almost entirely and them saying they'll add PVE content is the same line SOE gave landmark players. They didn't actually have to do it they just had to convince players they would sometime in the future. They can add one PVE thing every 6 months and technically they wouldn't have lied.
From a development studio perspective with an unlimited amount of money BUT a limited amount of devs do they continue to devote resources into new world which from the start was kind of just a slapped together idea or put the majority of the effort into that high name recognition IP they just licensed called Lord of the Rings. Easy answer.
If you look at those scenery shots for New World if you said they were certain areas in middle earth it could be possible just throw a dwarf or elf into it.
New World could very well be the landmark >> eq next testing ground for the middle earth MMO they are making and I don't object one bit. Lord of the rings fans age range from very young to senior citizens just like star wars. Boomers could play it with their grandkids.
It would really be foolish of AGS to not go all in and put New World in maintenance mode even before it has launched for the goal of creating the new hit MMO with the Lord of the rings IP. Imagine all the lands of middle earth with those new world gfx. It would almost certainly be in the top 5 most viewed on twitch and wasn't that what AGS wanted from the start?
Stop pre-ordering games! You're just encouraging the gaming industry to keep ripping us off. If they want our money force them to make a good product.
