I'll wait patiently while you look.

 

the CONTENT is the same though, just drawn out into 35 minutes. i was bored after 5 mins or barely anything happening, and i turned it off at around 20 mins.

 

Seriously, who CARES about the UI. that is the most unimportant, easily developed, and incosequential piece of crap in the whole game.

 

As for someone playing Darkfall -- see the leaked 2005 alpha video............

This is the way the Darkfall ends

Not with a beta but a whimper.

I’ll wait until August is over or this video is released before I continue this discussion, because it seems rather useless when this video might finally prove conclusively either way beyond reasonably doubt.

But I will make the prediction that this video will probably be postponed again or come very late in August.

Will be of relatively short duration.

Will most likely contain footage of things that have already been seen before.

Will probably have an emphasis on “large battles” to the exclusion or detriment of other features.

Will probably fail to compressively show all of Darkfalls proposed features using game play footage.

And the majority of the community will be dissatisfied or indifferent about its content.

And a small minority of the community will insist it proves how good / bad Darkfall will definitely be.

And it will pose more questions then it answers about Darkfall’s state of development.

And it will be the source of continuous contention.

And Tasos will make some statements attempting to explain, justify or excuse away any actual or potential criticisms of the video.

But of course this is not really a prediction because it’s just what’s happened every other time they have released a video in the past.

One guy jumping and being hit by a bunch of NPCs. Looked more like an Oblivion mod. Whereas in the FE vid there are obvious other players  moving around. Like all the vids DF has, no life to it. No "this is an mmo!!" screaming out at me, whereas FE clearly gives the impression of being an mmo.

We go to the judge's score cards.  Ladies and gentlemen, it is a split-decision.  And the winner, hailing from parts unknown...Zorvan!

I mean seriously.. Is it really that hard to have 2 people sit down for two days to put together a video?

Hell is it that hard to have one person sit down for 10 minutes and hit record and upload?

Why does it take 6+ weeks to do that?

I don't get it..  please explan.


 

You just don't understand production.  There's no such thing as just sitting down and doing it.  Why don't they just  sit down and finish the game be tomorrow too?  It takes scheduling of priorities, lots and lots of planning and coordinating with other departments like marketing.  Then there's all the other timing considerations that consumers like you and I just don't get to know.


 

They're supposedly testing it, right? I suppose a camcorder is too much for Tasos or anyone else to handle? Just walk up behind a tester and start filming, is that so damn hard?


 

the 2005 alpha leak vid is done with a camcorder...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nU2ta1EsggE event ho this says 2003 it was actully 2005

your very confusing

However, Icarus Studios has provided their community with everything conceivable in relation to the state of their game. For example, those videos of Darkfall you guys are so proud of as proof of Darkfall? Here's a 35 minute gameplay video of Fallen Earth from 2006 ( there are other newer videos at their site )at E3 fallenearth.fr/video-5  . Notice the guy actually sitting and playing while showing it off? Notice the UI with chat windows and menus fully visible? Notice as he shows combat, character customization, and everything else all in one video? THAT is how you gain believability.


That’s the reason why I’m happy just to just wait for games like Fallen Earth, they have released hours of game play footage whilst demonstrating their game at numerous tradeshows, let me just repeat that again, HOURS of game play footage and all the usual trailers and videos etc. and they have only just recently announced they are in Alpha, not to mention all the other relatively massive amount of information released.

Darkfall has apparently been in internal Beta for over a year, yet we have so far only seen MINUTES of game play footage after 8 years of development of various kinds, and they have never publicly demonstrated Darkfall at a tradeshow, and only openly demonstrated the game to a select few.

Those are facts that cannot be disputed, what they indicate is of course open to interpretation, but hopefully by the end of the year we will know why.

Yep, video taped himself playing a singleplayer game. Again, footage of MULTIPLE people playing, since DF is supposedly an mmo..

Like I said, if they are testing, it should be a cakewalk to get footage of MULTIPLE people playing the game together.

If you'd follow along with the conversation, you'd see I mean NOW, not then. I even said "They are", not "They were".

And I'm not going to "cry" to anybody. See, that's your problem. People try to have a fucking conversation to explain their opinions/side, and you labe it as "crying".

Whatever, I'm sure everyone else is able to figure things out from here, so I'm out.
