The Pub at MMORPG.COM  » "Darkfall".. The biggest, most hyped vaporware that ever existed. Atleast "Mourning" and "Dark & Light" actually released.

HeH did i touch a nerve there. Move on I'm not interested in getting into a fight with a troll today.

And all DF trolls should wake up and realise their maybe even wont be released. So how can you troll a MMO thats maybe is vapoware? LOL That makes no sense. Go back to playing WoW instead.

Yeah, so your point is?

Dont you think we that follows DF dont are the ones knowing best how it may be? Or do you we just read all updates because we feel alone or something?

Only difference is that we want to play it, if its released,  and i know all trolls will do it to. But they dont admit it. Because that would really make them look stupid.

Would you rather they release a half finished bug-ridden Darkfall, or have it take 10 years and hopefully be a fairly polished game?

 

 There have been plenty of games released too early and most have failed because of that. To succeed, Darkfall will need to be a polished, well balanced game. To release it early, because people complain that it's vaporware, would ensure its failure. I am willing to wait the extra years for it to come out because of the hope that it will find it's place in the MMO market, and it will succeed.

 

As other people have stated, I don't see the point in this thread. It doesn't accomplish anything beyond bitching about having to wait for a game.

Really!!!!   and how many years should it take then?  10 -15 years?

 

 

Fact of the matter is this game is vaporware with bad graphics and too many hyped up fans. This thread is good tho as it does provide us with some fans to chuckle at.

The only ones being chuckled at is you, with your nonsensical troll-dom because you have no real game to call home due to all the premature game releases.

Funny for you to call someone a troll when you are the one trolling.

 

 

DF, while they may be issuing updates from the Devs, has done nothing to show they even have a product in development.  The only things we have seen are produced videos that are not even recent and are re-published often to make it look like work has been done.  I remember one person getting a personal invite to check out the game then give a review.  Well, that person was also rumored to be paid by the Devs too, so I don't lay any credence to his reviews.

 

Plainly put, Darkfall is classified as Vaporware in the general terms and if they do come out with a product it will be in the same position that Shadowbane was when it released.  Old and tired engine and graphics appealing to NO ONE, because newer more exciting games have already come along.

If you can't play it, it's vaporware.

It stops being vaporware the moment you can lay your hands on it.

This isn't true.  I mean Blizzard's new MMO is not vaporware, we all know, realistically, that the chances of it NOT coming out are about 0.1%. 

 

Its Vaporware when its been in development for half a decade or more, isn't in any sort of beta stage, and is talking about major revisions (engine changes, etc.).  Alternatively, news about it just dries up.  Its vaporware when you can find ads for it "coming in 2003."  Its vaporware when Windows 2000 was the latest version as it went into development.

It means the project is borked. 

 

For reference:  http://www.wired.com/gadgets/gadgetreviews/multimedia/2007/12/YE_Vaporware

(though frankly I have no idea what Diablo 3 is doing on it.  Blizzard pretty much ended the Diablo Storyline in Diablo 2, and has repeatedly stated they have no plans to make a third anytime soon.  I guess fanboy anticipation is just that high during voting).

Plus all the diablo developers left when Blizzard North was closed up. But we never know, Blizzard's new mmo may very well be vaporware :P

So its vapoware because its not done yet?  hmm, not a strong case. I think many want tit to be vaporware. If Darkfall had been a ordinary WoW clone, no one had cared if it was vaporware or not. Now when Aventurine have a uniqe vision.....suddenly all want to give a opinion about the develoment. And i think i have to trust the 400 screenshots, trailer, Asp´s review,  leaked footage, dev updates and Tasos and dare to believ there is a small indie company in Greece that are trying to develop a MMO named Darkfall.

If they succed or not, we will see in the future. Untill then will i try to find a MMO to play. And i say its higher chance that DF is relesed thent i will find a good MMO.

Its vaporware till beta actually materialises and people are actually playing it.

 

Right now its just screenshots a 'in-game' movie and 20 odd Dev reports. in other words we really only have the devs word that there is a game at all.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Leave this thread for those who actually follow the game to discuss.

Partisans always see anything that can be remotely seen as negative as an attack on their beloved shrines.

But it's a very clear thing: it's vaporware until you can prove otherwise.

As far as I'm concerned it's no more or less vaporware than Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Spore, Starcraft 2, or any other title that is nothing more than promises, screenshots, and/or bulleted lists of features and devblogs.

Why are they all vaporware? Because nothing can be proven true or false about whatever claims are made about it until you can attest to the claim with your own empirical experience.

Darkfall will be the next Shadowbane; the next Roma Victor.

 

It will release, but it will be clumsy and not approach the level it was hyped up to be.

Any game that is over-hyped (AoC, WAR, DF) will inevitably disappoint most of the fans when it launches. In fan's minds these over-hyped games often times become the holy-grail of gaming, promising an astoundingly new gaming experience. Sadly, that disillusionment is rarely fulfilled.

There is no denying that Darkfall will fail to live up to its hype. In the end, I'm sure most of the fans just want a gameplay experience that is unlike anything currently on the market.

Actually, Metaldragun's post was the most sensible I've seen in this thread. But I'd put it more like this.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Darkfall is a Pre-Alpha MMORPG. So if you're an optimist, go with the assumption that Darkfall is still years away from release. But it's also not unreasonable to call a project that has been Pre-Alpha for seven years vaporware.

Bottom line, both of these realities suck almost equally. Therefore - as has been said by many other posters - it's almost certainly a complete waste of energy getting emotionally invested in Darkfall at this time.
