Looks nice, although I'm not fully sure about that "correct feel" when you hit something...Actually I almost thought the opposite.
Guild Wars 2 nailed this perfectly, in my opinion. Anyway, I'm hopeful for this game, I love D&D, Neverwinter and Forgotten Realms as a whole :) Founder, CEO & Editor in Chief of Worlds Factory, a brand new videogame and entertainment online publication. |

Hmmmm it feels wrong to me for a 'Neverwinter' title. I can't put my finger on it, but maybe the environments look to 'clean'? I am NOT thinking of Neverwinter 2 cuz that was a joke. Obsidian always gets Biowares leftovers and murders it. But the first one felt, gritty, filty, real as I might imagine the dark ages to be....everyone is discusting, even the nobles are pretty filty and scanky...environments felt like the people who lived there...I mean, in that video, the guy is crawling through a dungeon that is probably ancient...who's been handling the maid service? Cuz it's pretty shiny. Maybe I am nuts....but I am not super excited on what this shows me,,,just feels wrong.....I will articulate more if can sort out what bothers me so much about it....

That looks pretty sweet. The effects are great (I love the FLASH of light) and are not overly done. (See the current build of GW2. The effects are a bit over the top at the moment.) The ambiance of the dungeon speaks to me. The art direction looks top-notch. Is this an expansion of D&D Online, or is NeverWinter a stand alone title?

Kind of looks like DCUO with a Neverwinter skin. |

Originally posted by Kakkzooka Well the video is labelled horribly... Yet I believe this is the Neverwinter title Cryptic is working on, and not an expansion of DDO, since Turbine is already working on and releasing the Underdark as an expansion. |

It's hard to draw many conclusions from such a short clip. I'm not fond of the over-use of "screen-shake" coinciding with what looked to be every single hit. It does have targeting, though it is a horrible garish red aura added to the mob. Undecided, but my experience of porrly crafted Cryptic titles of the recent pass is making me highly dubious about this title. If I would sum up how I felt it looked in one word it would be "Arcade". |

I assumed that this was going to be a "tab-target" game, so I'm rather pleased to see that you have to manually target. A surprising number of games look to be doing away with "tab-target" combat, in fact I don't think any big tab games are launching this year. |

Originally posted by Kakkzooka stand alone co-op rpg from what I read.. Vault had an article saying it would be released in 2011, looks like they are still working on it. Competition for D3 I would guess. But... https://register.perfectworld.com/nw_splash is a link to a f2p mmo called Neverwinter. So either co-op or mmo. edit: it says: Neverwinter is scheduled to be released in the 4th Quarter of 2012 Currently bored with MMO's. |

Looks pretty good to me, but cant tell much or give an honest opinion of the game from a 2 minute clip. Lets not judge this game hardly until we really see it in action. |

Looks interesting. I will be paying attention because of Salvatore. I read the first two installments and can't wait for the next one in October. Just because of the author I may play it. And about the art direction. I would think that the ambience would be added to for launch. But you never know, it could be a FPS issue.

Oh boy... Cryptic AND PWE? I think I'd rather staple my nads to my thigh. |

While the game looks good, and I like neverwinter, I got some concerns on this one I would have perfered seeing an open world we don't really need another d&d thats only a dungeon runner thats what ddo is and they are doing a neverwinter themed xpansion. The other thing is I hate cryptic there worse then funcom. Being this game is f2p as well i'm sure we will be seeing some wonderful cash shop via there PWI overlords now. |

looks great, animations, aethetics and all :). I have always been a huge D&D world fan and the NWN series was a great one. I hope to play this right along with GW2!

My main criticism from what I've seen is that this looks to be an action RPG somewhat in the same line with TERA. I guess I was hoping for a more traditional RPG feel to combat for Neverwinter. SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |

Originally posted by colddog04 see I think the exact opposite, I think its a great way to go. Makes it not just the same old NWN single player game =P and why the hate on PWE? I think they do great F2P games.. even if they are P2W like most F2P games. They games are usually fun and usually offer something different when compared to most games. Cryptic I only have experience through 3 days of playing Star Trek Online but I don't think it was a bad game.

Originally posted by augustgrace Anyone who think GW2 isn't TAB targetting is kidding themselves. Honestly, it soft selects with auto target and has collision damage and it hard tab targets. So if something is between you and your soft/hard target it will hit them instead. Point is, you will not be able to play it without selection targeting. But I'm surprised at how good Neverwinter looks.. if it keeps up like this then DDO might be in big trouble. |
