The graphics are on par with Warhammer,  spellborn and many of the other games being released.  Comparing them to 5 year old games is ridiculous.

It's ok to have graphics like that on consoles because everyone has the same hardware but on pc it's not giong to happen.

Lets see some footage of it running on 2006 rig.

 

ohh no no no.. Everyone will be able to run it.  Don't worry about that.  You will have to read about it to understand the technology they are applying to make everything run smoothier than that of DF.  How will earthrise do that? Well they implanted advanced culling, caching, level of detail, prediction, and compression algorithms to reduce the load and the capacity needed to run the game. If someone has a statement of DF talking about how they will make it easier for the server and the client please post the link.. I would love to read about that.

 

Again...The screenshot I showed is only a snip of Earthrise. I bet the graphics will still be insanly good even on a 2006 computer and be able to run the game very well.

 

Btw I thought the screen shots were high resolution... Also wasn't there a gameplay video released that was said to be on high resolution also. I think I saw it and it lookd not all that great either. But again who cares about the graphics gameplay is more important.

www.darkfallinfo.com  there are tons of quotes interviews of the devs stating what you just did.

And where the hell is this DF vs Earthrise coming from?  sci fi vs fantasy MMO.  Lets debate Rune vs Lord of the rings while we are at it then.

No it isn't. It's not next generation at all. There's nothing really new in the game.

 

Earthrise will have everything Darkfall will have, and then some.   Dynamic combat, open-world PvP, full loot PvP, guild territories, skill-based classless system and a player-run economy.  It's taking things a step further than Darkfall with customizable abilities and highly customizable crafting.  All in a scifi setting. 

 

So please, read up on the game before you make statements like these.

 

 

Edit: Changed to future-tense

Actually I have heard of Earthrise a few times now so I decided to look it up. From what I have read it will be more linear with sandbox elements rather than a pure sandbox. The only things it seems to have that DarkFall doesn't  is Earthrise looks like it will have zones, it has pets (which DarkFall has taken out and put on the back burner)  and  of course the Sci fi element. Now there is something deffinetly different that it has. It has an offline skill up. While offline you gain in advancement of the career you chose. The game in general looks much more geared to the casual player to me which is fine.  From what I have read it will have some of what DarkFall has with a few things it doesn't but no your statement that it has all the features DarkFall has it way off base. It looks interesting but not my cup of tea. I prefer fantasy settings over Sci fi and while DarkFall does have room for both casual and hardcore players it sounds like Earthrise will have less for the hardcore player but more for the casual player. With the Sci Fi and Fantasy difference as well as the one being more geared for the Hardcore player and the other more for the casual player I honestly feel there will be room for both on the market. I don't think DarkFall and Earthrise will compete much at all with each other. It looks and sounds like it will be more or less competing with EvE.

Does it really matter?

DF, Earthrise, Mortal Online, Crusades, Fallen Earth All of these games are a Victory for the sandox fans.

Why fight over it?

We should praise these developers for giving us something that isn't another WoW.

Crusades?  never heard of this there a website

Character models are somehow very odd looking, animations are quite ugly and swimming looks downright horrible (except mount swimming was quite nice). On the bright side, planetary movement was really epic looking, environment was spot on when you compare it with Ork lore, objects swaying in the wind (flags for example) just made the world look alive. Shadows/lightning was one of the best I've ever seen in any game and anyone who claims otherwise is either blind or stupid. So the graphics are a mix of something from 5 years ago and something that you can compare to any other game out there. Animation should be easy to fix with enough time.

IMHO this was, by far, the best DF video I have seen so far.

Its a Sci-fi sandbox similar to SWG Pre-CU

So wheres the movie that coincides with the screenshots on the website?  Or are they just "staged"?

You need to learn about video compression.

xvid double pass gets you a small file out of raw footage in top quality, not to talk about the mac exclusive one, compression isn't a escuse im afraid.

look at the quality of the text in the trading/crafting part of the video. THAT's how much quality has been lost due to video compression.

even the screenshots are JPGs, which is an intrinsically lossy format. so the actual game is actually BETTER quality than the screenshots.

I don't know where you're getting your information from, try reading Earthrise's official forum and QOTW threads because you are wrong.  Let's break that wall of text down...

First of all, where did you read that it's going to be linear?

Secondly, It does not have offline skill advancement, it has an offline "career" that allows you to make some money while offline, it has absolutely nothing to do with skills. 

Earthrise will have dynamic combat, open world PvP, full loot PvP, guild territories, a skill-based classless system, a player-run economy, deep and customizable crafting, customizable abilities... just to name the major features.  These are all the same features that Darkfall is promising, and then some.

Darkfall has naval ships but Darkfall does not have customizable abilities (and we haven't heard much about Darkfall's crafting, but I'll leave that), these are the major differences from a pure gameplay perspective.

I didn't come here to hate on Darkfall, I'm a fanboi too.  I was just making the point to the guy who said that Earthrise is "nothing new" that if Earthrise is nothing new, then Darkfall is nothing new because they are so similar.   Which I, of course, do not believe because I think both games are taking the industry in the right direction, and I can't wait to play both of them.

This man speaks the truth!  A look at these forums will show how the MMO community as a whole has shifted due to games like WoW.  I seem to remember back in the day, it was much more respectful on average.
 

All these games are good and whether we like ones over the other, we should be cheering them all on.

This man also speaks the truth.  It is a good way to tell the normal skeptics from the lol trolls though.  Or the blind i guess.

Legit discussion = I dont like the art style of DF and its definitely not the best on the market right now.  AoC is better as well as others in my opinion.

Trolling =  wow maybe 8 years ago!  these are eq graphics at best, maybe ps1 lolz i cool.  outdatd and crap!

Sorry but the art style and animation are different things.    Art style is personal choice, and many fans think the animations need some love.  But the graphics ARE on par with today's technology.  Thats just fact.  How it compares to other games is another issue.  But they are by no means outdated.

Still waiting for beta to start.  Hopefully it will be soon or we won't see the game this year.

 

 

Ok., I'm going to do a little timeline of the evolution of MMO graphics, then marked which games failed, maybe make it more apparent that the graphics are A) fine, and that B) graphics don't make much difference.

 

EverQuest 1, 1999

 

 

 

Now that brings back memories , I remember that even in West Commons

Graphics may turn away potential customers but gameplay and content keep those that gave it a try..  I'll use Age of Conan as an example here, awesome graphics, yet it's the second worst game i've ever played content wise. (for those that are wondering GuildWars is top of my worst content games)

People keep talking about graphics. Dont understand how we could get excited? Easy its called im not 10 years old?? I look at great gameplay not OMG SHINEY OBJECTS WOOHOO

Darkfall is being advertised as one of the best mmo's ever..... if it delivers what it promises to ME it prolly will be the best mmo since UO

Yes the fact thats its not crazy graphics will chase some people away, but so what?? Same goes for your games with great graphics, they chase away people who like good gameplay, same thing but you dont seem to care

Look a bit closer the graphics and shadow effects are fantastic, graphics dont make a game they compliment it and that is what most want. Having both is a fine balance , other recent MMOs have done this and failed. And have also failed on the gameplay side as well.

But you would know this having played games in the last 5 years , go back 10 year and then 15 and you may even start to understand what real gameplay is.

I found it on the official website. Sorry I rarely if ever visit a forum of a game im not interested in. That wasn't meant as a slight.  The site was http://www.play-earthrise.com/

Making money while offline isn't something a lot of Hardcore players want in a game. Thats to close to bots and for me atleast it leave's a bitter taste of laziness in my mouth.  As far as linear I got that from this

"The main storyline and all associated quests will be completely solo-friendly and allow each player to explore the island of Enterra at their leisure without requiring additional help – but there will be additional challenges where a player may need friendly support. Also, many of the player-versus-player (PvP) mechanics will be party and guild oriented for those who seek to become involved in the grand struggle for domination over controllable zones and their resources."

The fact that it won't be FFA PvP made it feel a bit more linear to me.

Yes. PvP will be an important part of the game. Players will have the opportunity to kill other players – but not without consequences.
Another PvP aspect in Earthrise will be guild rivalries. Guilds will be able to declare war on each other and fight for power and resources. Such wars will be prohibited in the security zones, but will not be punished in the other territories.
There must be a good reason for PvP players to risk everything to make a kill. What will making a PvP kill grant you?

This part made me go meh... Because it's more UO than DarkFall like as far as the skills go. I am actually looking forward to the skill degradation over time if you don't use them, and there are last was said I think 500 skills and 700 spells in DarkFall.  Earthrise has 100 from what they say on there site.

There are no character levels in Earthrise. Instead, advancement is purely skill based. Each skill can be improved to its maximum potential and players will reach a peak in their development when they have no more skills to improve on. Future expansions will bring new and expanded skills to allow further character development

I am not tryin to bash the game in any way it's just not my cup of tea. My reply was only because of the statement you made that Earthsea had everything DarkFall had and then some. It far from has everything DarkFall has and even some of the things it has that are similar aren't done as well as DarkFall in my opinion.  And yeah I feel there's room for both because from what I have read it will be more casual player friendly than DarkFall, it is also Sci Fi insread of Fantasy so neither will really compete. I don't go around and shoot my mouth off without atleast a basic knowledge of what I am talking about lol.

Earthrise may be nothing like what I think it will since I am merely basing my opinion on information I have at the moment. Again this merely my opinion and nothing more.  And to the person that said you will be able run it on a low in 2006 machine, these are the minimum system requirements for Earthrise.

Minimum Requirements: 2 GHz CPU, 1024 MB RAM and 256 MB VRAM video card supporting shader model v3.0

Heh you remind me of that comic where there is a guy at his computer and his wife/so is off screen saying something like "are you comming to bed" or "are you done yet"

the guy answers back "no this is important....someone is WRONG on the internet"

why do you care?  get a life.  what are you trying to accomplish here?  the fans are discussing a game they are excited for.  you arent going to convince fans to stop liking it.  are you here to persuade nuetrals to not try it?  pretty sad if you ask me.

 DF is a small indy company, and they are advertising actually.  While you may not see huge ads in the magazine you read or on tv, they are taking steps to get DF into the media.  We have seen television shows cover it, numerous internet articles, now at a convention...thats all advertising.

Also im not sure if you are in the states like i am, but also keep in mind that the USA is not the only country in the world.

Graphics may turn away potential customers but gameplay and content keep those that gave it a try..  I'll use Age of Conan as an example here, awesome graphics, yet it's the second worst game i've ever played content wise. (for those that are wondering GuildWars is top of my worst content games)

 

People keep talking about graphics. Dont understand how we could get excited? Easy its called im not 10 years old?? I look at great gameplay not OMG SHINEY OBJECTS WOOHOO

Darkfall is being advertised as one of the best mmo's ever..... if it delivers what it promises to ME it prolly will be the best mmo since UO

Yes the fact thats its not crazy graphics will chase some people away, but so what?? Same goes for your games with great graphics, they chase away people who like good gameplay, same thing but you dont seem to care

Its not being advertised.

 

Yes it is. on its website... try again

Ok  now i understand why its being advertised as one of the best mmo's ever, it says so at there web site. silly me.

 

Ok now I see why your making these silly posts which you prolly feel are pretty witty but are actually confirming you dont read well and therefore probably are not the smartest cookie on the block.

I said TO ME, I even put it in caps so people like you could see it. To ME it looks to be the best if they deliver what they promise. Im sure plenty of people dont care about gameplay and just want shiney WOW stuff... like you

So. good job making yourself look..... not so bright, and have a nice day

what part of this did i miss understand ""Darkfall is being advertised as one of the best mmo's ever..... ""

I don't give a rat azz about  you and what you think if they deliver or not. The fact is you stated the above, and i posted that they are not adverting the Game. IF your said statment is incorrect then fix the dam thing you foolish child......end rant....carry on please.

 

The part you missed is the part where I said it's a fact and not mu opinion, see you assumed, as you keep seeming to do, very bad news for your intelligence friend )=. My said statement still stands correct, you just assumed incorrectly, which seems to be your trademark move haha.

Anyways, please stop trolling and crying on these forums nobody cares about you. Your nobody from nowhere, always was always will be. So please, carry on, and learn to read and comprehend?? thx!!

I understand the DF dev team is small but Imo they really need to find a way to upgrade that graphics engine.

Heh you remind me of that comic where there is a guy at his computer and his wife/so is off screen saying something like "are you comming to bed" or "are you done yet"

the guy answers back "no this is important....someone is WRONG on the internet"

why do you care?  get a life.  what are you trying to accomplish here?  the fans are discussing a game they are excited for.  you arent going to convince fans to stop liking it.  are you here to persuade nuetrals to not try it?  pretty sad if you ask me.

 DF is a small indy company, and they are advertising actually.  While you may not see huge ads in the magazine you read or on tv, they are taking steps to get DF into the media.  We have seen television shows cover it, numerous internet articles, now at a convention...thats all advertising.

Also im not sure if you are in the states like i am, but also keep in mind that the USA is not the only country in the world.

Lol exactly, this guy seriously needs a hug or something haha. Funny thing was I wasnt even the wrong one, he was, I wonder if he noticed his blunder yet hahaha, he's about to feel REAL stupid...

Technically all fantasy based MMOs are based on JRR Tolkien's work.  Tolkein started everything there is to do with fantasy.  He was simply making a reference that most people would connect with. 

unless he predates the ancient greeks and norse and such... no, tolkein didn't.

Not that graphics are going to make this game, gameplay will, but those most certainly shows the game is a bit long in the tooth graphics wise.  If you are impressed by those graphics, you have not played any MMO in the last 5 years at all.

Still waiting for beta to start.  Hopefully it will be soon or we won't see the game this year.

 

Look a bit closer the graphics and shadow effects are fantastic, graphics dont make a game they compliment it and that is what most want. Having both is a fine balance , other recent MMOs have done this and failed. And have also failed on the gameplay side as well.

But you would know this having played games in the last 5 years , go back 10 year and then 15 and you may even start to understand what real gameplay is.

if graphics don't matter; then, why aren't you playing uo?  it, by far, has the most features and diversity and freedom of the mmos out there.... it just has dated graphics.
