facris writes: Finally, the darkfall movie is released! Looks interesting, but at the risk of being flamed by fanboi's, the game feels a bit behind the times. I'll keep an eye open for further udpates in the hopes that this is purely since it is in 'beta' Mon Sep 01 2008 8:11PM

cosimusta writes: Now they just need to bring it home before 2009. An MMO that sets a release date and makes it, is something I have never seen before. Mon Sep 01 2008 8:14PM

facris writes: Discount what it previously said about 'behind the times'. The last bit of the movie really starts to look nice. The avatar's are rough but well within expectations for a game in development. Kudos to finally getting this out Aventurine Mon Sep 01 2008 8:16PM

manaia36 writes: Waiting a long time to see this. Even though the graphics are not cutting edge, for me personally the graphics are more than fine. Animations are a little stiff. But overall it was a good look at Darkfall. Hope it releases this year so we can get our hands on it and see for ourselves Mon Sep 01 2008 8:25PM

Kankan writes: I have been hearing about this game for years. Never followed it. It seems its age is really showing. In developement for so long it looks very much like EQ as far as graphics. I could see it being successful as a F2P. Mon Sep 01 2008 8:50PM

Teguradless of Graphics if your a moron that gos off how flashy it is go back to Age of Conan and enjoy your graphics with 0 content. this is Amazing graphics for the ammount of freedom and content in this game.

AtmaDarkwolf writes: I really don't know. After following and WAITING for this game for YEARS, either give the fuck up, or release it. All the ideas and promises it had would have been great 5 years ago, but now, I just don't know. (And graphics are not all there is to a game, if it has good gameplay, that easily trumps shitty graphics.) Mon Sep 01 2008 9:05PM

Kilrain writes: For all of you complaining about the graphics, TAKE A LOOK AT AOC, i love the game don't get me wrong but they spent TOO much time on graphics/animation and the core needs alot of work. Darkfall's graphics arent terrible in whole, the characters need work.. GUESS WHAT the game itself WILL BE BADASS and the characters can be updated at ANY time. YES you can kill ANYONE, friends, foes, ANYONE. There are REAL penalties to killing in this game. Its gonna kick ass, miss out if you want, your loss. Mon Sep 01 2008 10:08PM

The pvp scenerios they show look very fun. but teh animations for combat look very cheesy. even SWG has better animations then that now. The graphics look a little outdated but i can live with that a little. the combat animations is what will kill me. If i fight liek a wack nintentdo game, im not buying it. Either way. The game showed some promise. but i wont buy it when it comes out. Ill wait and see how it goes. Mon Sep 01 2008 10:52PM

alien1984 writes: I am a tough critic when it comes to mmo's but darkfall looks really refreshing! It reminds me of a first person shooter mixed with a mmo. My only complaints are the destruction of objects. Its like when a cannonball hits a ship you see nothing break, you just see a puff of smoke, or when you destroy a ship / building they just go *poof* and disappear. They need to add more realistic destruction of objects. Also the weapons definitely need some work, the models look hideous. Anyways though the game looks great, i am going to keep my eye on it. Mon Sep 01 2008 11:08PM

Burnthebed writes: The characters look OK, but jesus the animations and backrounds look ridiculous. Especially at the end when the buildings are getting blown up, and they just disappear and all the people on top of them fall like magic...hilarious Mon Sep 01 2008 11:25PM

damian7 writes: what i find odd is that all these people who are so adamantly FOR darkfall... WHERE are all these innovative gameplay items of which you refer? that video showed archers, melee guys and casters... at no point did a melee guy cast a spell, at no point did a caster draw a sword, etc. it looked like some cookie cutter classes, nothing about the "freedom" this game is supposed to have. who cares about graphics when the game itself looks more limiting than the first diablo??? and i'm strictly talking character progression here. 17 minutes and nothing of the UI?????? nothing on how you can be all sorts of different *classes* with your skills? they sure didn't show anything other than melee being melee only, archer being archer only, caster being caster only. this game seriously had a chance to impress normal (non moronic) people and FAILED. wtf????

You don't need graphics to have a good game...I think these graphics are well on par with todays standards..Hell look at WOW good grief that is crap to look at...I might as well be watching Saturday morning cartoons. To the guy/gal bitching about the "there is no destruction grpahics on the boat or keeps just smoke puffs" get the hell out. It doesn't matter about the destruction graphics all that matter is the damn thing goes down. Why don't you go hit on Zil'jin for 20min in WoW and get your oh he changes phases BS...where is the blood? Exactly And the the one about the open world pvp is dead. STHU go play your lame ass battlegrounds that are staged and get your flag or kill the same damn NPC for the thousandth time...OH thats right there is no blood, or or no destruction gaphics... Anyone that has played the Shit after DAoC, please go back to whatever it was the hell you was playing before than, the old schoolers don't want to listen to this shit any longer...

From what i read about this game it takes all flaws of ultima online and enlarges them to the 10th power. And the world is ugly, and looks like a game from 15 years ago. Tue Sep 02 2008 2:34AM

BlackVenom21 writes: For the people who have really looked into this game, and not judging by just this video will agree. This will be one of the best MMORPG's to ever come out. This will not be a grind game, or WoW copy. This is something tottly different. It will change the way MMORPG's are made. I can't wait for this game to come out. Tue Sep 02 2008 4:46AM

daarco writes: Who wouldent wanna charge with a cavalry into a castle? Cutting down enemys (players) as we pass them. Remember, Darkfall is about fredom. If you love grinding yo can do that if you want. If you like naval combat and want to be a Pirate, be that! Always wanting to be a Bounty Hunter, now you can be that. Hunting other players. Want to craft weapons for a player ceated empire, go ahead. I dont see any kind of player that have to pass this MMO. Tue Sep 02 2008 5:34AM

tsitluc writes: Looks like pure outdated junk to me. The graphics are terrible. The gameplay looks terrible. It looks like its just one big game of grab ass PvP and that's it....

galantgone writes: Personally I am still waiting for that "comprehensive" video that was promised showing real people actually PLAYING the game and outlining all those amazing features because this sure as hell is NOT it.
Where is all the innovative features this game was supposed to have?? Where are the HUNDREDS of dungeons? Where are the HUNDREDS of quests? Where are the HUNDREDS of skills?? WHERE is the amazing crafting system with the ability to craft ANYTHING in the game world?? YES.. they really did promise all of that and more...
All I see here is an outdated looking game world with really badly animated models engaged in wild unorganized combat all over the place. It looks like nothing more than a functioning combat system.
Is this all that they managed to produce in 7 years?
This is going to get eaten alive by Warhammer and Lich King. Tue Sep 02 2008 6:39AM

daarco writes: Maybe we should compare a video of WAR or Leach combat next to Darkfall? And how could anyone fail to see all "new" features in a 17 minute video?? Tue Sep 02 2008 6:43AM

galantgone writes: the entire 17 minutes of the video is nothin more than PvP.. and more PvP.. and than a little more PvP.... and some ships floating around.. some buildings and trees.. and a little more PvP... Tue Sep 02 2008 6:48AM

downtoearth writes: yes yes galent we already heard it Tue Sep 02 2008 6:48AM

Mitara writes: The Graphics are pre-wow, very poor, but not so poor that you cant imagine the rest. There are some good game elements in the video as well, so the game might have a small chance. It will NOT be able to change the way the world looks at MMORPG, it just isnt good enough for that. Tue Sep 02 2008 7:05AM

darkspriggan writes: I actually got this video by torrent from the Darkfall Site. Mind you I've been following this game for a few years now, and it's a relief to see something new. I'll say I'm disappointed by the graphics, mainly the particle effects and animations. But I already know the gameplay is going to make up for it 10-fold. The graphics from the in-game screenshots look a lot better than they did in the video, so I'm guessing that video was taken on quite low settings. Also, for those graphics whores, I'm sure they'll get to working on the animations and other smaller things once the game is released or when they can. Though I hope to see more in-depth things in the next video, like the skill system, crafting system, etc. Tue Sep 02 2008 8:58AM

Souvec writes: Finally, a game for all the PvP Asshats to congregate to. Looks great if your in a guild and look forward to waging war against others. All I can see is a tunnel of endless ganking and lost time trying to regain what you will lose time after time. Overall, not the game I was hoping it'd turn out to be but it seems that it has everything you PvP fanbois wanted. Tue Sep 02 2008 9:23AM

namelessbob writes: I must say I was rather impressed with this video. I like the look, and understand the dulled down particle effects to enable large scale pvp with as little lag as possible (We have all seen pretty+lots of people = unplayable thanks to AoC). I like what I saw, and what looked to be instant construction of defense via cannons for naval to land combat. Hopefully they hit beta within the next few months because I am itching for this game. Tue Sep 02 2008 9:30AM

Wardrop writes: Darkfall makes every other game play like crap. Finally we will have a real game of skill and strategy. Its all twitch base game play mechanics too bitches. Real twitch blocking, archery aiming ( down the sights) same with casting You can dodge and block arrows and spells. No more of that click and point go make a sandwich combat. or casting that spell and knowing it wont miss unless a gay dice rolls tossed. The graphics NEED to be light on your gpu and cpu so that it can render and process all that beautiful warfare without grinding to a halt when you get hundreds on screen with armor and weapons and magic and blood ohh my... forgot about the vehicles and mounts. How about that view distance. I pre-ordered Warhammer online... i got to say Warhammer looks and plays like utter shit compared to what ive seen in this vid. And the last few frames showing the mellow lobbed was a hugh surprise. I am very impressed. We have been waiting for such a long time. Welcome Darkfall!!! Tue Sep 02 2008 9:31AM

remyburke writes: You know, I've been hating on DF for years, simply due to the fact that it's been in development for so damn long. After watching this video, I can now see why. If the game contains a good story line and has lots of decent quests (the non-grind kind) to go along with this crazy twitchy gameplay, I'm sold. My only reservation for Darkfall will be in it's player-base. I played Shadowbane for years, and it's the leet pvp kiddies running around destroying everything for no reason other than it's there that might ruin this game. We'll see. Good vid, thank you!

Gief true gameplay video with all UI and real-time PvP where the true power of freedom can be seen. This video just eye-candy for the fans. Graphics outdated,but still ok. Animations.... stone age... Tue Sep 02 2008 10:42AM

heerobya writes: Actually not too bad. Graphics are "meh" but game play > graphics any day. I had just as much fun in Pre-Trammel UO as the next guy, but with how much the MMO landscape has changed since then I'm just not sure this will fly with anyone but the "niche" crowd. It is refreshing to see something new, some progress being made... Release a vid w/ gameplay from a real player's perspective not the UI-free "God mode" camera and it'll add some validity. Def. has potential, I'll give it that. Tue Sep 02 2008 10:43AM

I have seen far worse game footage of reknown large game companies! This video is amazing. The surroundings are amazing. Graphics are really not that bad. Just details of characters is a bit outdated, but then again. Have a look at WAR. Need to say more? I guess with largescale PVP comes some sacrafice to make it run on the average system.

Hexcaliber writes: Many of you folks don’t realise just what DF offers, a true sandbox mmo. Anyone can learn any skill, up to a max number of skills per player. Skills are levelled through use, don’t use a skill for a while and start loosing levels in it. Some skills and abilities are rare or very hard to get hold of, some are learned from fighting mob’s, some are loot drops others are quest rewards and so on; the devs stated around 5000 skills, spells and abilities available at launch. You can focus on a particular style, choose to min/max or play jack of all trades it’s entirely up to you (sandbox), AND NO WHINNING ABOUT CLASS BALANCE. /DROOL Tue Sep 02 2008 1:55PM

" Sadly, PvE gets dwarfed by the game's PvP, but its got a great PvE system. Here's a mod quote "PvP tends to steal the spotlight a lot, but Darkfall is going to have the deepest PvE system ever. The AI is very challenging, you get to fight with FPS style combat, there's realistic item drops, and mobs pretty much have their own ecology. If you overhunt a particular mob, it will migrate to a safer place on the map. Certain more intelligent monsters will eventually build fortifications if left alone, and will start behaving more aggressively. They can also spawn champion style heroes if they're left unattended."

The graphics look good to me but the rider animations on the mounts remind me of warcrafts which never got put in and look stiff as a board, maybe they'll do more to them later but anyhow i love the look and gritty nature of this game but it's pvp centric and to me that means boredom with the same old goals to acomplish and little interaction with the world. Same thoughts i had when AoC was releasing, that the player interaction is so limited that the entire back story and lore gets chugged down the drain and is mearly a prop to pvp and kill this kill that stalemate that's currently the crop of all the mmorpg's, i'll be playing Warhammer which has at least some other stuff to do besides just hack and kill.

Not only were it's graphics behind video games coming out at that time, it was behind every other p2p MMO. Example2: Ago of Conan. They are fail. Financially they are fail, they're subscriber count is fail, everything about them is fail, except of course, their brilliant beautiful graphics that no currently released MMO out there competes with.

rbc13183 writes: I must say, after seeing this video, and then reading detailed descriptions of their features online, I don't think I've ever been this excited about playing an mmorpg. This game seems to be providing almost all of the things I've been desiring in mmo's for a very long time. I know that the grafix can't compete with Age of Conan or Oblivion (yeah I know its not an mmo), all of us hardcore fantasy "mmo'ers" can all attest to the fact that superior grafix don't make or break the game alone (Ahem! Age of Conan). Besides, the grafix seem to be awesome. Most of you who are talking about the grafix are probably really talking about the animation, which is a little awkward, but I'm fine with it. I challenge everyone here to thinks this will suck to check out the main website and read the features. What other MMO do you know of that can compete with such content? (alignment features FTW) Also, keep in mind that its probably going to require tons of patches and updates after launch, just like any other mmorpg, so be patient. Bottom line, if Aventurine can really pull off what they are proposing, then the mmorpg world as we know it will be revolutionized! Just my two cents. Keep the comments coming friends!

dracolix writes: wow. Hope they have a lot of polish in the pipeline or plan on delaying the release to add some. Don't get me wrong, the features they have look awesome. But ships and buildings should never just vanish dropping their inhabitants into freefall. The building needs to explode into rubble and severely injure those on the building/vehicle at the time, and they should have to climb their way out afterwards. e.g. the sinking ships would be much cooler if the people trapped inside had to swim their way out before they suffocate. Also fireballs should melt snow, but I suppose most games leave out terrain destruction so maybe that's too much to ask. I'll definitely be taking another look once it releases though, I smell potential. Tue Sep 09 2008 3:18AM

TheNightFly writes: I've only known about this game for about a year and I LOVE the concepts and principles it is based on. I had no idea it's been in development since 2000! It's looking pretty cool. Kind of cartoonish though, like a cross between Rune and Tribes 2. :l In 3D games like this, animation is more important than aesthetics because it tells you what's happening and determines what happens next. It also involves physics and network communication which can consume a lot of system resources. So, it's best to enhance the animation before enhancing the aesthetics. Otherwise you'll have pretty screen shots but really lousy gameplay. If someone swings a sword at me from a distance and it visually misses me, it shouldn't behave as a hit. Likewise, if they swing at me close up and their sword visually passes through me, it should cut me in half. Otherwise, my character model should stop and deflect the sword. That's the sort of truism over realism that I'm talking about. The animation should show what is truly happening in the game and what happens in the game should be consistent with what everyone sees.

StorytellaX7 writes: DAMN! wtf is with everyone all like "omg the graphics suck" seriously people the developers are a small team that started their business and this game FROM SCRATCH, from the ground up, and for what they have gameplay wise... this game is gonna kick ass and blow all other mmo's away, and not to mention once this game gets big and they have more money to invest im sure they will make an expansion with better graphics (also since the serrvers are 10,000 players max, think about a 200 vs 200 man clan battle... it would be all lag with high ass graphics) Fri Dec 05 2008 12:27AM

Crelm writes: Seven years in development. So what. I was busy actually playing games all that time, rather than becoming a jaded fanboi. This video shows extensive PvP in a multitude of scenerios. I like it. While I'm not graphics-conscious, I do hope they polish the jerky character animations, use more layers in special effects, and add at least a few curves to the cardboard architecture before release. Other than that, looks great. Someone compared it to Oblivion- ick. I couldn't stand "swimming" through Oblivion's world. I hope DF is a friction-free environment. That's probably the single thing that would dissuade me from playing it. Sat Dec 06 2008 6:46AM

bedolla3401 writes: i am impressed, of course i would want to test it out for myself, then I will make my own decision and its not gonna be based on graphics its gonna be based on GAMEPLAY. You know all you little kiddies who thinks graphics should come first before everything, you need to develop a brain first, its the overall picture that counts. And that is why you fail.

mjones1052 writes: You people are retarts and if you know nothing about the game then why talk about it? You don't die in 4 hits, the dev's are using that to show some of the features and show what a siege looks like. What kinda trailer will have them sitting there beating on a mob for 10 minutes? The game has a hardcore following that has been with it for many years. Why don't you guys check out their site and get some info about the game before making dumbass posts? Sat Jan 03 2009 4:32PM

mjones1052 writes: Also, the graphics in the video are not what the game currently looks like. The game is not about graphics anyway, it is about them putting something out that is entirely new, FFA loot and PvP, huge naval battles, player built, managed, and defended cities, etc. So once again, if you don't know about something don't speak on it....

Nirwyl writes: This video reminds me of Shadowbane, same PvP focused game. I think it will probably end up exactly where Shadowbane is now. The graphics are about the same as Shadowbane's were at launch, how many years ago? Diversity in gameplay and some of the locations look interesting, but can it rescue the game from the horde of players bound to grief others in a FFA PvP world? Tue Jan 13 2009 7:47AM

mezmoin writes: to Darter, guess you aint a real old skool mmorpg player back in the day the only mmorpg was pretty much FFA pvp with little to no safe zones, well besides the towns and even then they were shotty at times. and everyone that complain's about the graphics, a friend of mine gets 120 fps (which is way to much for the human eye to register) and that is max settings besides foilage. I was to skeptical about the graphic's but once i seen it, cant wait that is all just cant wait. Thu Feb 05 2009 3:09AM
