    • Looks like an ok game;however, for some reason the website will not come up for me. i dont know if it's my computer or if the site is just down.
  • nefermor(posted Tue Nov 25 2008)
    • This actually looks good accept for the animations being short and choppy. That and the suggestion that the entire story line is based on some epic never ending gank fest. The visuals are actually pretty good besides that.

    • A game can have bad graphics and I don't mind-to an extent. When a game has such bad graphics that you start to lose game immersian, that's when I say no thank you IE Runescape. That in mind, many of the concepts that Darkfall are bringing to the table are great, dynamic pvp, no levels,"unrestricted" sandbox play. I would love to play it as F2P, however, as an RTS and RPG gamer, with such bad graphics, I know that I couldn't "Get into" the game. Less of a virtual world, more of an FPS.

    • Keep in mine that this game is still in beta,that said- This game has some nice features and it could be the next big thing thing. the thing that i dont like is that this is gonna be a first person view mmo, "Your gonna see the landscape from a better view" thats the most stuped excuse i have ever heard!!
  • Knifo(posted Mon Nov 10 2008)
    • First of all, Watch it in Quicktime. This game is by far the next landmark in this great decade of games. MMO developers will awe at the features in this game and realize what a MMO is so post to be. Carebears stay away. stay in WoW. Let the big boys play. Finally a real consequence system that i have not seen in 10 years.

    • Not even if you would pay me i would play this... it's just so "copy" and so crappy animated, like i don't see any interests in that kinda graphics ... =X
  • MouzurX(posted Thu Oct 23 2008)
    • They can easily add better animations... and the graphics.. well the sky is amazing and the light effects too, its just the animations that are somewhat crappy, but you don't need like a better engine for that, just a redo, so it will probably be fixed like in the first 1/2 year after it releases.

    • the thing iv noticed from this video is the game looks bad graphics wise but iv come to respect games that don't have the best graphics and make up for game play i like the idea of ship sieges and castle sieges and nothing is turn based it reminds me of ryl if you havent played it try it its ok game play good graphics blah but i will look forward to open beta to try it out to further assess the game

    • k so i watched it all the way through and decided maybe the graphics are a *little* better than i originally thought, but the character animations are HORRIBLE and make everything else seem worse
  • merkels(posted Mon Oct 13 2008)
    • I had to make an account just to say this: MAN THESE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME...back in 2000 when this game started developing. rofl. actually, i think there were better-looking games than this in 2000. sad.

  • TheNightFly(posted Mon Sep 29 2008)
    • 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.
  • DarkQ(posted Sat Sep 27 2008)
    • Haha! Everything is totally awesome! It's everything I hoped for...except one thing. The animation is a little off. I mean did you see the way that giant armored thing was swinging his sword? Almost like it's legs were stiff. Fix the animation and this game will be flawless.
  • Vexe(posted Fri Sep 26 2008)
    • Darkfall has come a long way since I last look at it. These graphics actually look really good. See the shader quality and the res of the textures? Look at thte old pictures, then look at this. I can't wait.
  • Siusiako(posted Mon Sep 22 2008)
    • Well tge graphic realy looks like shit but when I am watching movies from AoC or WAR they looks similar so i think this game is worth a try! All because theseoportunites that are avaible in there.

    • What I liked: Blood splatter What I didn't like: Everything else. Game hasn't been released yet and already looks older that WOW. Lighting, terrain, cities and effects all look like crap. Animation is terrible and the whole idea of this game seems to be run around and gank everyone. yeah, sure sound's like fun. NOT.

    • I can't believe some douche just used the "you noobies" line. This isn't the 90's, or even 5 years ago.
  • Kitsunami(posted Wed Sep 10 2008)
    • I felt i had to comment here: As a darkfall fan for awhile, i can say that all you noobies shouting 'graphics sux' can go play AoC and its broken gameplay. Also the forums are overly active only because beta was announced, and like 60,000 newbies signed up to them and are trying to pretend theyve been there all along so they get to play in the beta. The game will win because of its uniqueness, what it offers, and what it provides. Graphics could be updated in patchs. The game has a big enough following to be a victor. And to all you newbies: Wait in line. we were here first, while you lot screamed 'vaporware' and such things ;)
  • rlb2857(posted Tue Sep 09 2008)
    • Im pretty much a carebear, but I think I will give this game a try. I want to see all PvPer's that think they are gonna come into this game and gank everybody get a rude awakeing. Y ou will be able to gank the hostile races, but if ya gank your own race your gonna make it hard for yourself to equip yourself.Skill base is cool, Makes it hard to tell if your better than the other guy. Your gonna have to use your head before ya go hittin on someone.Waitin on skills to lvl up is a bit of a pain.And the better the skill the longer they take to lvl up. Gonna have to play a lot to get that uber toon. And the way they have it set up, and higher skilled player isnt nessacerly gonna win over a lesser skilled player. This game is gonna be challageing, I like that. None of that point and click and your dead crap. Only the smart and cunning are gonna be successfull in this game. I cant wait to give it a try.
  • LoveSkylark(posted Tue Sep 09 2008)
    • Been waiting so long for this game and have had to many disaponments, Im allmost afraid to hope that this game will be any good.
  • dracolix(posted Tue Sep 09 2008)
    • 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.
  • Resin213(posted Mon Sep 08 2008)
    • This game looks to have so many of the features I want, but the character design and art just leave me kind of bored and dry. If the features are truly there it might be enough for me to ignore these rehashed characters and mediocre animations.

  • rbc13183(posted Sun Sep 07 2008)
    • 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!

    • The video did a great job of showing the PvP,PvE,crafting and community aspects of the game also there looked to be multiple races so that was also a plus so i am pleased with the video. Darkfall could be a title that i look out for in the future
  • phorsoth(posted Sat Sep 06 2008)
    • I was impressed, more so than I thought I would. From what they say, and from what I see here. If you like the way mounted combat works in M&B, and if you like the combat system of M&B mixed with Oblivion, then that is what you can expect from this game as far as combat goes. In my opinion, awesomeness! If they can pull it off, and it looks like they just might!

  • swizzenator(posted Thu Sep 04 2008)
    • So wizardry you think that hiding behind an object is skill opposed to besting someone in a straight up fight?
  • redderick(posted Thu Sep 04 2008)
    • The main point that most are forgetting is that graphics cannot be the main point, the world is massive and there are low amounts of servers. If you think its unbalanced then get a good crew together and get with an alliance, the game has more movement on their forums then most. The game looks fun.

    • Yeah WoW had pretty poor graphics, but it had style and nice animation. Everything that moves on this looks like a badly built robot. I just couldn't sit there watching a jerkorama fest, no matter how good the gameplay was. If they don't do something about that before release im afraid it's gonna be a laughing stock.
  • downtoearth(posted Thu Sep 04 2008)
    • master depends theres plenty of ways to balance that because pshbakc doesnt really hurt you unless you get thrown offen something and know if you fall off the boat you dont die if you inside the boat when it sinks you drown
  • masterbrood(posted Thu Sep 04 2008)
    • Also, about sea combat, what happens when you fall off the boat? instant death? if that's the case mages should be banned from sea battles....
  • masterbrood(posted Thu Sep 04 2008)
    • Wait a second.... huh?!?!?!? This video dosent prove anything, everything could totally change before its release.... also, keep sieges is nothing new, lineage 2 did it, Dark age of Camelot did it, and WAR is doing it so i fail to see any originality in this game at all. Also, the knockback from spells its quite possibly the stupidest idea ever, that's going to make PvP so unbalanced it isn't even funny....

I never have played it, but just the video proves the vast amount of things you'll be able to accomplish in this game, sea warfare and keep sieges together alone are a first to be combined at this magnitude. Keep on going guys, bring this sucker out I'll be more than happy to donate and be the first through the gates!

    • I was pleasantly surprised by this video.I actually see some shader use in there unlike many other games.This game was suppose to be a 2001 project no?Heck it's graphics far surpass WOW,that's a given and if it's game play can hold up it may be a dark horse in gaming.It's models are of course average,but so are most other games.The biggest problem i have is the PVP part.I saw a few trees for cover but most of the mapping ids PVE designed,it is not designed for PVP.So your going to have two players standing in the open throwing out there best damage,not much in the way of skills.Don't believe me? look at the terrains,there all wide open.
  • Hathi(posted Wed Sep 03 2008)
    • Well, I suppose some players will enjoy this game. More power to you all. I just kep seeing vanguard and early AOC alpha videos when I see this. Promises of glory and when game time comes, - nada. If this game is free to play, ill try it. Otherwise pass.
  • masterbrood(posted Wed Sep 03 2008)

As a side note, the greenskins seem to be well over balanced compared to the humans that were jsut dying in this trailor....better not be imbalance like that on release.

  • Mattius(posted Wed Sep 03 2008)
    • They need to do something about the running, it doesnt look so great, looks un-natural imo. I like the landscapes, the melee combat looks pretty average, its not AoC in that regard, but then again thats AoC's best quality. The graphics are fine, nothing special, but fine. The mounted fighting looks good, as do the mounts themselves. The ships look cool, and those hovercraft are awesome. Im rating it 7/10, if they fixed running 8/10
  • cosimusta(posted Wed Sep 03 2008)
    • Gameplay > Graphics. I think most will agree, but most people won't agree that it's more of an 90/10 relationship than 60/40. Example1: WoW. 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. So all the people going "lolol look at the badd girafix!" Get a clue, cuz you clearly aren't aware of what you even like.
  • firefly2003(posted Wed Sep 03 2008)

    • Just wish the mmorpg genre in general would evolve past the usual hack and slash fest that this seems to be. 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.

    • this game could either be, another shadowbane,wich is dead becuaseits a gankfest, or it could be another fury online, wich is dead because they uber balanced the game, or it could be a whole other new and great game,i am hoping its the last one, pvp can be fun if given the right tools,most people are drooling over this game cus they just see the potential for a gank fest, i see the potential for a tue rp experiance (evil grin) imagine a guild whos only quest is to eradicate gankers and police a spacific city? i think till be posible and i think alot of people will be interested in that idea , its kinda like ganking,..but only if you gank first Mwahahahaha

    • they just showed it that way there was pvp and crafting and hanging out there some otehr stuff too which. you need tojust sign up for beta and find out for your self instead of being so fing closed minded

    • IF graphics are on medium then still not impressed. I know they will tweak them, but too repeatitive. Game looked ok. I like the mixed elements. But, I need something then not stop PvP to excite me.

    • alpha because they worke dong etting features in and stuff and everything working as lag free as possible. im sure animations will be worked on

  • chryses(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • I am happy with the graphics if the game allows me to play on a large battle field and have the opportunity to fire a cannon into oncoming enemies. Also one kill shots makes sense if you have to actually aim and fire as it rewards an excellent shot rather than 'tab' and keep pushing the attack button. Those epic battles are lush

    • I expected lame responses but none that piss me off... You guys like high quality graphics ?? well good have fun lagging and falling through surfaces, mean while ill have a blast engaging sea battles and sieges in Darkfall, cuz you know what... what makes a game is not the graphics.... but the gameplay. you judging sons of bitches.

    • To much freedom? For what?? Its weird to hear people defend thier right to "non freedom" in MMOs. But we will what you will play in the future. To much freedom or to little?
  • SonGokul(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • First the game started with interesting PVP.Later the PVP continious and nothing else...I spend 30 minuts reading the stupid site of the game and from what I saw,there is a "book", that the game makers spend hours(days) writing uselless information about the history of the game.They try making it funny ..it's not,it's plain silly.The features of the game are (reapeat after me) non acceptable!There are too many promises and nothing to compare with!Actually when you are making freedom of choice ,there must be a some kind of limit somewhere or else it will be havoc...Ok I hope the game do somthing about everything not just the graphic(the invetor....it look's like shit..no seriously it's ass).Overall I can't give more then 6 to the hype level. And for FU** sake why I must register in the forum first,then in the beta ,with my forum nickname???!?!

    • "Great Graphics... ...wasted on PVP. I mean, what are you going to do for four years in Darkfall? Run around ganking random folks again and again and again and again... " 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." And here's a thread on one LARGE thing to do in the PvE environment. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=65810 Try not to be so naive sometime.

    • ROLF pencilrick you must be trolling or really stupid, this is the only pvp focused mmorpg. there are 1000 other pve mmorpgs to choose from. I realize alot of mmorpgs state they focuse on pvp, but in reality it comes down to a few pvp minigames and a lot of restirctions.

    • ok, it wasnt totally terrible (except the graphics) until i saw the mage throwing people around. i cant watch any more after that.
  • saivior(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)

    • Great Graphics... ...wasted on PVP. I mean, what are you going to do for four years in Darkfall? Run around ganking random folks again and again and again and again... No thanks, I have Unreal Tournament 3 for PVP. Too bad no new PVE game has comparable graphics. We need a new PVE game, folks. The PVP folks are being taken care of with Darkfall and WAR. What of the other 85% of the online gaming crowd? (Pretty big niche, eh)
  • Hexcaliber(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • 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

    • holy crap this looks awesome, wonder year itll be out LOL.. from the video it sure looks to be a wow killer.. but you know promos. there better start with alot of servers, i can see potetional lagg and stabilization issues here.
  • Grakel(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • I had friends talking about this game back when the SB servers changed worlds, for the first time. Like most of you, love many of the features but they have got to do something about character animations. That's a big pet peeve of mine.
  • Jo_16_2(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • I'm gonna love this game. Specially since little kids will stay away from it because for them "Graphics > Gameplay".
  • skitzdout(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • im sorry but if adventurine get some investor backing and a publisher, i think this game here could kick the crap out of WOW and WAR for pvp players. hell even the graphics in that video are better then what wow and war have. lets just hope this game gets released. i think adventurine would be suprised the the numbers of players that would flock to their servers.
  • JK-Kanosi(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • Definitely looks like a last generation game. However, the features of this game should make up for it. If this game succeeds, we can bet on more games like this in the future.
  • downtoearth(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • Dmath no lol its def not perfect but i can at least preciate the work to put into the game. and it looks fun

    • If this game is made by a very small dev team a lot of people have been saying. Then I am truly impressed by all this. The negative tards here are just plain trolls. 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.
  • Cotillion99(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • While i still love my warhammer, i have to say this video has rekindled my interest in Darkfall

    • Why does the running animation look so bad?
  • heerobya(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • 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.
  • Aren_D(posted Tue Sep 02 2008)
    • sucky video of whole 17 mins which shows nothing. Naval, mount coumbat? that have seen before... 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...

    • 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!
