Game: TERA: Rising
I love how they had to add emotive commentary to make it more exciting.
"Ohh NO!!"
"LOOK OUT!!"
"She'll run right thru us!!"
"Ahhhrrrh!"
And was that some serious FPS issue when they were all on the horses? Or was I just seeing things?
You know maybe Im just gettting jaded. But this (and a lot of other new MMO's) seems to really be nothing but a remake of console-style games. They even call each encounter area rooms/arena.
From what I could tell eveyrthing was all 200' diameter circular rooms.
See it's things like this that keep me interested in this game. I love a good boss fight. I truly hope this game delivers all that is shown in these trailers. Because it would be nice to have a game like that.
I'm a Lineage fan, so i'll surely enjoy all those "affinities" TERA kindly kept and improved. It's good that they actually say in the video about the release of the game in 2011.
the moment another MMO comes along and looks to be good and has some good qualities to it is the moment alot of WoW fanbois come and post negative comments about it to try and make it look bad ..
If you actually payed attention they said they bits and pieces of the whole play through. Basically the bosses. they took out the normal mobs and the more open area of the dungeon.
Also the this isn't an instance fighter and again you would know this if you researched before you typed. It has massive zones for lvling outside of the instances.
Could they have not made it AS obvious that they're reading from a script? This video has one too many emotionless "arghs" and "watch outs". What exactly stopped them from just commentating the game play as it was playing.
Apart from the ackward commentary - for an mmo with the main tagline of "true action combat", this video sure failed to show it off. Just a generic tank n' spank dungeon run.
This looks like the perfect mmo to me! Nothing I saw I felt I could improve any better myself. I love how the bosses look epic. I hope its very hard to, it will get rid of the fallible gamers.
Horrible commentary. The video failed to show me much about the game. Other than it looks like just another clone. I don't think ill be touching this game. EVER... lol
I've never seen such creativity when it comes to the design of these bosses. Probably the first MMO where I've actually felt like the boss looks like epic and I'd get sliced to bits if I ever came close. Most other games just take mobs, make them 5x bigger and change their colors.
I'll never play this game because of the popori or whatever the hell they are called, but you can't sit there and say those bosses didn't look badass. In a market that so bare of quality, give the game a shot before you claim it to be a failure.
And anyone who's going to sit there and say "its a clone" is pretty stupid IMO. Every game is a clone to some extent. What's the point of saying it any more? Any developer that tries something new fails miserably and you're screaming fail. Any developer that uses a cookie cutter approach with a few twists, you scream clone. Who cares? If the game is good, people will play it. If it's not, it doesn't matter whether it's a clone or not. No one will play it.
I think people just get off on doing the whole "It's a clone! I'm cool and "in-the-know" on the internet!!"
Honestly, for the people who are quick to call everything a clone of something else.. I wonder if they have only 1 type of every game in their collection? Only 1 RPG, only 1 FPS, only 1 RTS, only 1 MMO, etc... because anything else of the same genre would be a clone, certainly... since they all share common features?
Of course, I'm being completely rhetorical as well :).
To me it looks like a mix of Aion, Lineage I and II with a bit of some other generic instanced MMO's out there.
Looks nice though and I would love to see a bit more of the world you level up in, and they mention the amazing crafting system, well we will see how amazing that is.
I need to get my hand on this title first hand before I can say no thanks but thanks for the effort put into the game.
Holy sh*t people..if every f*cking MMO is just WOW to you..go play WOW or stop visting a site that covers nothing but MMOs. Or are do you just live such a sad existence that the best thing you can do with your time is ritually complain? It makes zero sense.
Action based game play, fantastic looking graphics. I will give it a shot. Some of the art style seems a bit over the top, as do the weapons...but in the world of fantasy themed video games, these are generally either good things or just a matter of personal preference that can be over looked provided the content is there at launch to keep the player interested for longer then the first 30 days. I hope they really put focus on the atmosphere being part of the gameplay, not just in rare boss fights. That is something few MMOs do with any consistency, if at all.
Im with Hokie, it looks great but way to much console like and to familiar gameplay that many other mmo's also have plus mention of instance.
This game im affraid will be a another clone of some mmo's we already have or also hit the shelfs soon.
Only thing maybe good gameplay is no auto attack for themepark game very rare, that should be intresting, and huge world with almost no loadscreen. But omg what a similar looks with lineage2 or other asian games:(
Grapical it looks nice, but yea, same old same old. the simple overdone class system whit hyper flashy lighting show animations that use one base animation for nearly all attacks i seen is ultra boring.
new action mmo themeparks are fun, fora month, the whole block and dodge stuff works well but if your gona do it dont use a old boring c..well the above.
No wai, it has Mega sized weapons!!
I love how they had to add emotive commentary to make it more exciting.
"Ohh NO!!"
"LOOK OUT!!"
"She'll run right thru us!!"
"Ahhhrrrh!"

I will say this; looks pretty though.
Wed Sep 22 2010 11:07PM Reportwell unlike most MMOs in TERA it will be skill of the player that determines the outcomes of these boss fights and not always gear ..
Wed Sep 22 2010 11:19PM ReportSee it's things like this that keep me interested in this game. I love a good boss fight. I truly hope this game delivers all that is shown in these trailers. Because it would be nice to have a game like that.
Wed Sep 22 2010 11:55PM ReportThe bosses are amazing, nothing short of typical and I like the other host's style of speaking, sounding like a sports commentator. :P
Thu Sep 23 2010 12:19AM ReportFinally!
Thu Sep 23 2010 2:08AM ReportIs it all about party play?
Thu Sep 23 2010 2:13AM ReportI'm a Lineage fan, so i'll surely enjoy all those "affinities" TERA kindly kept and improved. It's good that they actually say in the video about the release of the game in 2011.
Thu Sep 23 2010 3:48AM ReportDevil May Cry as an MMO, massive weapons, massive explosions, massive areas, massive bosses, twitch style game play!
Can't wait!
Thu Sep 23 2010 5:51AM Reportagain, next instanced coop game eh?
must be hard to produce real mmos :)
Thu Sep 23 2010 7:59AM ReportSo pugs will do very well in this game.
Thu Sep 23 2010 9:20AM ReportThane you are acting like a fool saying that dumb shit.
Thu Sep 23 2010 12:08PM ReportCan't wait for this game! Looks amazing. Something diferent too.
Thu Sep 23 2010 4:08PM Reportaion3 ? kill koreans! :(
Thu Sep 23 2010 4:47PM ReportLooks like wow without autotargeting. That last boss was Onyxia with another skin.
Thu Sep 23 2010 6:10PM ReportOh noes, a boss who AoE KDs. Never seen that in an MMO before..
Thu Sep 23 2010 6:59PM Reportthe moment another MMO comes along and looks to be good and has some good qualities to it is the moment alot of WoW fanbois come and post negative comments about it to try and make it look bad ..
Thu Sep 23 2010 11:26PM Reportlmao a boss with metal nipples. I may have to look into this

Sat Sep 25 2010 4:05PM Reportwhats new pussy cat? not much really same old, same old.

Sun Sep 26 2010 5:44AM Reportso... if you don't have someone skilled in your party you won't be able to complete these "dungeon" runs?
Mon Sep 27 2010 12:11AM ReportThat commentary/narration was so violently embarrassing I had to stop the video.
Mon Sep 27 2010 10:08PM Reportdoesnt look like it sucks exactly, but if i wanted to play WoW some more, i'd reactivate at the appropriate website

Tue Sep 28 2010 7:47AM ReportDamit Bob!! always getting in the way, just had to get those butterflies didnt you
Tue Sep 28 2010 3:57PM ReportThe weapons could be a bit bigger. Nothing wrong with waving a canoe.
