The last 1mill Kickstarter game that got funded recently pulled in 600k the last 72hrs. Don't be so quick to right PFO off, I wouldn't be surprised if they exceed 1mill in pledges by the end of the Kickstarter. "It would be awesome if you could duel your companion.

Ryan says AAA THEMEPARKS, there will be plenty of AAA sandboxes in the works. You miss reading what Ryan is saying... "It would be awesome if you could duel your companion. Then you could solo pvp".--Thanes |

Looks interesting with great ideas. Implementing those ideas over many years is where the proof will be. I was a little leary of the one guy who listed one of his credentials as "The Elder Scrolls Online" seeing it is still in heavy development. Did he jump ship on that project or did he not cut it for Zenimax and now he is here? BUT all in all it will be one to watch and hopefully not gett bored seeing it is a long ways from even a beta yet.

To BlackUhuru,
Titan will not be a sandbox, because Blizzard doesn't do sandboxes. Archeage is a sandpark and releasing after Elder Scrolls. Then there is Neverwinter (action themepark), Wizardry Online (hardcore themepark dungeon hack), Defiance (fps themepark), Wildstar (themepark), Marvel Heroes, Game of Thrones, PlaneShift, World of Warships and World of Warplanes, Transformers Universe..... needless to say, themeparks are not going extinct and for good reason. There is more than enough room in the genre for themeparks, sandboxes, sandparks, action / first person shooters like Planetside 2.
On topic, I won't be funding this game. I just can't get past the FFA full loot PvP. On top of that, I've yet to see a game implement consequence systems that did a frakking thing to discourage griefing. |

I really hope they can make a great sandbox game. Tired of themeparks.

I will be frank with you and the video on a kickstarter page determines whether I am interested in a product or not. Sadly this video was bad imo and showed nothing interesting besides: we want to make a sandbox.

Ever game you mention will be release before Elder Scrolls. No AAA studio after Elder Scrolls is developing a Themepark. "It would be awesome if you could duel your companion. Then you could solo pvp".--Thanes |

I will be funding this one for sure on the last day, going to put my money where my mouth is, this game needs it, big time. The features, the settings, the story. It gets my money.

despite all the Fun this Game might offer, why the hell do i have a $500 GFX Card, to play a Ugly Game on it, isnt it possible to take an existing good Engine like Unreal or Farcry and build a Sanbox Game that actually look good as well ?

Looks dated, but I am still interested. Dumb time of year to do a kickstart cmpaign though. I am broke from the Xmas hols, otherwise I would help out. I think that many people are in the same situation. :\

To all of you complaining about the engine, you're looking at a very dated video and with them having only used the engine for a limited time. If you'd like to see the capabilities of the engine then just go to youtube and do some searches of the capabilities. It looks way different than the tech demo you're all raging about. Additionally, the project already got its funding. Kickstarter is there for their reach goals. Please do some research before making stupid posts people... |

Everyone that is saying this is an ugly game, just stop. The pictures you are seeing are tech-demo, pre-alpha images. Thus, these are completely unrefined to highlight mechanics and base character design.

I want to be excited about this but I just can't cross that line into optimism yet.
You want to throw away your money developing something stupid, go ahead. |

This sounds really interesting to me, but it is so early in the process that all you can really do is keep an eye on it and see what happens. I would be less wary if so many devs didn't promise more than they could deliver.

Originally posted by Raventree I totally agree. I ahve sat on the sidelines for years (literally) after the Mortal online launch fiasco.
This is the first time I have really seen that there is a developer with great concepts, based on an established IP, with experienced developers with deep roots in both MMOs and also in RPGs. To me, this is not the typical kickstart and that is what made the difference and got me to pledge.
I want to be in there on day one, forging the world. "I should point out that no other company has shipped out a beta on a disc before this." - Official Mortal Online Lead Community Moderator Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-) |

Originally posted by BlackUhuru I'll give you that Neverwinter may release before Elder Scrolls, but it's not certain. Archeage is releasing in the USA in 2014, which is long after Elder Scrolls release of middle 2013. Defiance may release before, but it still doesn't have a set release date. Marvel Heroes will probably release before or at the same time. Wizardry Online just announced today of the closure of their beta test, so it will release before. The rest of the games on my list are slated for late 2013 or early 2014 at the earliest. So, yeah, there are plenty of non-sandboxes coming down the pike after Elder Scrolls. Not sure what you mean by AAA studio as the moniker is suppose to relate to the actual quality of the game and not the stuido that produces it. It also indicates a large sum of money spent to make it, which most of those games apply. |

To this day I've never seen a developer succeed when they make such black and white distinctions between "theme park" and "sandbox" games. The ones that do, without fail, tout their game as a "sandbox" and claim that this makes them inherently superior to "theme park" games.
He's doing exactly that when he boldly (and unfoundedly) proclaims the death of the theme park genre and when he says that sandbox games are built for the long term while theme park games are not. He states quite plainly that because of the self-evident superiority of sandbox games, it isn't necessary for Pathfinder Online to even launch with all of it's features. Pathfinder Online may or may not be a good game, but he's off to a very bad start with all his big talk.
