Darkfall Gameplay Video

[Tasos]

We made a new video, you can get it here: (http://files.darkfallonline.com/darkfall_battle.zip)

[DevXLX]

Checking.

[Darkmatter]

Wow, going to check this out right away!

I actually can't believe the Founding Four is/was online at the same time. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy during these cold winter times.

[gtechie]

I'm excited. From the very first "Adventurine" screen, I knew it would be a goodie. I was like "Allright, movies of the pictures we've been getting. This is cool. Spells flying, swords slicing, I can't wait!"
And then the ships came on. Damn son. Looks like a blast.

[Slyder]

wow, the sea battle looks very cool, and the entire thing looks fun as hell.

[Lorak]

THANK YOU!!!

Holy sweet god this is looking great!

Thank you Tasos!!

[Strychnine]

Thats a great video! Aiming the cannons on ships too... nice!

Thanks

[Chungo]

Nice!

[Trille]

Ohhh, sexy!

[namrog84]

im incredibly excited now, this is awesome!

[DoddyCurumehtar]

Nice.

Not keen on the weapon trails (the trailing effect when swinging the sword). A tad unrealistic.

That and the battles don't have nearly enough blocking and parrying as I'd hoped, but hey, it's a work in progress.

Nice job.

[Ftang]

this is what was lacking, thanks!

[Maglubiyet]

I think i just fell een more in love with DF and all the devs, holy shit I cant wait to play that.

Great opening scean, A, great music for it, and great footage! This has made me excited about this game again, and I cant wait for more info like this!

[Ryuji]

Sick nasty!

I can see why this game will be very fun. I personally like the weapon trailing and all the other quarky things that make it more of a game feel. It is a game after all. :D

[La Cuspide Scarlatta]

very nice to see some action again! carry on!

[DeQui]

Omg. I need to go bathe. I need to be pure before I watch this. :ohno:

[Strontyd]

damn good, so when can we play ;)

[Joao Magalhaes]

The action seems so excelent!

[Xopak]

Download faster u bastard modem!!!!! :lmao:

*edit*
Haven't seen it yet but I reckon this is the best way to counter that vaporware faggot...

*edit2*
Seen it. Euh. A chill went up my spine and then I'm talking a really big one.

The grapichs were great, the sound was absolutely outstanding (not sure if the "battle sounds" were added but if they were from in-game it's crazy. What a feeling!!)!! The scenery looks wonderful! The ships are marvelous!!!
I'm not sure if I sound like a fan-boi but I didn't come up with anything negative.

This video kills every vapor accusion and mmorpg.com at the same time ^^ Darkfall is everything I thought WoW would be when I first joined, real epic battles ftw!!

[Platon2x]

Well Whao!!!

This just looks amazing.

Great video.

[Rhynn]

I agree, the ship combat was a damn nice touch. Watching that ship sink was hilarious!! Again, I can't wait.

[azog]

:eek: Thanks for this video. Everything looks great, cant wait to rush in the battle and smash some skulls :D
I think Naval battles will attract many MANY people, cause not many mmos got em.

[DeQui]

Amazing. You guys have no idea just how much desire we have to get our hands on this game. The next person I hear utter the words Vaporware in relation to DF I will happily go about castrating them with a guitar string.

[Tarshal]

Wow....just...wow.

[TiraX]

omg, 17% and going... sooon

[killerspoon]

I almost cried with joy.. My god after all these years this is what i wanted to see. god bless you guys.

[doma]

Nice! *downloading*

[lipe[cpc]]

I just don't know what to say. I'm in tears.

[Ludo]

Downloading now! Exited Exited!

[Xopak]

I reckon the server will go slow in a while :/

Does anyone think a torrent will upset Adventurine?

[Moonshield]

Looks great for beta!

[reece]

rocks!

[Skullripper]

Thank you Tasos

The video was great and after watching it only 7 times I can safely say................


HOLY MOTHER OF ALL COW!!!!! get this game finish so we can get some of that action for our selves..

Thank you.

[Darkmatter]

I reckon the server will go slow in a while :/

Does anyone think a torrent will upset Adventurine?

Aventurine, not aDventurine :) and No, i don't think torrents will upset them at all, as the meaning of posting this is to spread it around.

I've given the link now to around 12 people already.

[Sapgui]

What the .. ?
I LIKE IT =)

but need gameplayscenes too! wanna see how to play *gg*

[paade]

oh fuck, just came from shower and now im pissing my pants. again.

What a lovly message to read, after a hard day at school :D

Sweet mother of Jesus, This is AWESOME!

Arr, embarrassing. Someone made a joke with "Advent" once, must have stuck to my brain :D Making a torrent then, already put it on youtube (when UL is done) :ninja:


Just noticed the wonderful skies/clouds in the video :p

[Spades Felligan]

I wake up this morning to find this awesome goodness.


Vaporware yessayers in your face! I so want to be a pirate even more now! :ohno:

[Apraxis]

Great. Fantastic. Another cool fighting vid, even with naval action. I cant wait to play it.

[Zalasahr]

NICE WORK Guys, NICE WORK

[Quolz]

registered since long, never feeld like posting... but finally you got me to post.

great stuff you've developed there.

[Veantur]

is the naval part of the game really rdy ???
it looks little bit strange.

but u guys have done great work with the landscape.

[Spades Felligan]

OOOooooo I can't stop jittering.


omg omg omg omg

[Saldisar]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

That was fantastic!

Great job to all Dev's, I am also naming my first born son Tasos!!!!

<3 <3 <3

[boby]

So nice ! :D Thx !

Avatar seems to move faster than in first vid, and that is really nice imo. Naval combat looks great :)

[LeprechaunTFK]

Nice, this made my morning

the tongues will be flapping in our forums!

[doma]

Nice video guys. Love the ship battle scenes!

But that sure was a slow ass site.
Here is a alternative mirror: http://indigo.ed.ntnu.no/doma/darkfall_battle.zip

cheers

[Mennovh]

Nice video! Cant wait to play this game.

Yudeltube!

[freeze_SD]

YAY :D

I didn't expect to see one this soon :D

[Always_PEPSI]

OH WOW this is so much more than expected. I thought we'd be waiting 2 more months of these weekly dev articles before a vid came out.

Thanks so much, looks great! All your hard work looks to be paying off.

[Lorak]

Up on YouTube here also.

It was watchable.
Now if only they'd released something like this long long ago (Even if it wasn't as detailed).
This kind of thing does wonders for the long awaiting fanbase.

EDIT: OMG @ the wall of fire (?) in the end.. I've always wanted that in an MMORPG.

[Villa]

That dock town, right at the end, reminded me vaguely of Booty Bay or whatever that Goblin town was called in WoW.

hehe, I never realized you're such a pessimist Villa :D
just be happy that it's finally out ^^

Nice one!!

[Sapgui]

@viluin: this "wall of fire" was (or better is) in mmorpgs .... called "Fire Field" in Ultima Online =)

@villa: yes, booty bay. and yes, it looks like ... but i hope there are no goblins ^^

[Nalira]

Wow, I'm impressed.

The release of this video seemed like perfect timing. It's reduced the doubt that I was carrying for this game. I can't wait until it is out, and ship seiging looks fun as hell.

Be nice to get more goodies like this more frequently.

EDIT: still no alfar, though?

[Lorth]

Im not goana lie
i was losing faith


:eek:


....tears came to my eyes from that magic and cannon fire
Darkfall looks amazing.

[Preston]

If you guys can get copies up on FileFront, that would be best.

[Atnas]

Holy fucking shit I love it! MAN THAT LOOKS SO NICE I SCREAMED A LITTLE!

[DeQui]

If you guys can get copies up on FileFront, that would be best.

On it.

[HiroProtagonist]

Beautiful work, I am really looking forward to playing.

[Villa]

Nice big fat juicy bone was thrown to us.
So now the community will happily give Aventurine another couple of years before getting grumpy about lack of updates again.

Lets hope Beta comes out soon.

[Gaelan]

Good work guys, keep it up! I'm sure we'll be filling out our single player beta apps in no time.

[Sapgui]

don't think so ... how long the community was waiting for Duke Nukem 4ever? hehe

"when its done"

[Atnas]

I had almost lost all faith, and the music! Damn this music is 10x better than the last video.

[Red-Eye]

Sweet!

[doma]

Now we have to wait 1 year for another one ;)

[iamvoodoo]

Sweet! Very impressive... just hope it wasn't put together for eye candy; I wish the play mechanics do it justice.

[Sarusan]

Nice vid. Waiting to see some better one soon including Alfar in ! :)

[Teth]

Alright, that was goddamned awesome. Only minor point of quibbling: the cannonball graphics look sorta cheesy. But that's forgiveable, considering how fantastic the rest of the action was.

That huge sea of flame at the end...oh man. :ohno:

[cullyn]

so awesome, time to link it to friends that were interested but over time have lost interest.

Thanks for this video Dev team!

[Erroneous]

A great surprise this morning, it has certainly renewed my excitement for the game.

Keep up the good work.

[SamDog]

Good sirs;

I thought the ships were very nice. We see one moving and one sinking so they seem to have fleshed them out quite a bit.

your humble servent

Very nice video. Things are looking good and keep up the hard work. This has got me hyped again, this is after all, the game I've been waiting for since 2002.

[Daarco]

Holy mother &%

[Zuku]

Cruel, cruel, devs to keep me from my preciousss.

[Corizo]

Finally! http://www.elantar.de/forum/images/smilies/daumen.gif

Thanks so much devs, keep on going with stuff like that! =) =)

http://www.elantar.de/forum/images/smilies/dance.gif

/edit:
...but the sinking animation of a ship could be better, to be honest :D
Far too unnatural

[MrShine]

Wow...this looks like a very polished 'teaser' that can be used to promote the game. That's good news, because it means things are starting to become a reality!

Music was good, in game sound effects really made it feel like you were there, and graphics looks very nice for a MMO. I think it wasn't that the graphics were fantastic, but they were really playable... seeing the avatar you get just made me want to get into the game and start swinging my weapons into enemies! :sly:

And the boats... DAMN! Yeah, the cannon-balls looked a little like placeholders, but I'm not worried about it. I loved the wind going through the sails, a really nice touch.

I also loved the emphasis on mounts, everything looks like SO much fun!!

Everything looks great guys, thanks for the update!

[Dronjak]

Love you Tasos :)

Really neat! Keep up the good work! :)

[Preston]

Thanks DeQui!

And, did anyone else notice the different symbols on the ship sails? Maybe clan symbols? Woot!
:D

[Balicus]

After reading through all the posts in this thread, I'm just about jumping out of my seat waiting for this vid to DL! At 40% right now..... :ohno:

[Darkmatter]

Love you Tasos :)

Really neat! Keep up the good work! :)

Dronjak, sign up and help them churn out these videos ;)

"We loves them".

[Helgeran]

I just felt overwhelming empathy for heroinists, this seems just as good as I expected! No disappointments here (well, the ships were kind of lego-ish but I ain't gonna sail much anyway).

[Merrin]

I'm ready for this, but still waiting to see clan flags flying above player heads.

[Darkmatter]

Notice the pirate logo on the sails? Sweet.

[Roxianna]

Word of this video is already everywhere and everyone is thrilled. On behalf of all the Darkfall vigil keepers on GuildCafe, I say thank you.

Three cheers!

[reece]

no healthbars and crosshair?
maybe just because demo but i really missed the crosshair. that simple crosshair from video1 was so cool.

The movement is still way to slooow.

btw...anyone has a link to the first video, edited with rammstein-music?

[Dronjak]

Dronjak, sign up and help them churn out these videos ;)

"We loves them".

Hehe. I would work for free :)

[KarateK|d]

omg! :D
I love it!

From the look of this it can't be long to wait for beta!
Unless the devs have stopped all coding and are only playing now(can't blame them if they do) :D

Yeah, I was going to mention the same thing. Nice looking for sure.

[seik]

nice one, thanks for that :)

Great job guys! *downloading*

Very nice, nice animations!

The elf has come out hiding! BURN HIM!

You have no idea how wrong you are, play Dark Messiah online.

[Ultimo]

holy crap, sick! i loooovee everything i saw, how it flows, and we even got to hear some audio!

[Medivac]

oooo shiney, looks fantastic ,well done peeps :)

[Axairick]

Horses still look ridiculous.
Glad to see things working.

[Carpface]

Good stuff.

[Niccoli]

Ok, so this is very awesome, much better overall than the last video (not that that it sucked, but I can see why you've taken more time to get this one out).

The Aventurine logo is awesome, nice touch to see that there.
The death pig attack was so cool. Mounts fighting FTW! We knew there would be mounted combat, but I never expected, or noticed mention of mounts actually fighting. (maybe I have and I've forgotten, who knows)
The chick with the dagger gankin that orc. :D
The fireball from two points of veiw, the mage and then from the point of view of the two hit by it.
The flag in the town, where the human and orc on mounts pass each other. What is the symbol? Looks close to the human racial flag, but it has a sun or something on it. Full color clan symbol perhaps?? (has yellows, blues, etc.) Might just be the flag for that particular town (NPC).
Mmmm, big fire wall of death. Yummy. "Unleash Hell!!!"

The only negative was the cannonballs, and the sinking ship. Now, the fact that they are in by itself is freakin awesome, and if they stay the way they are, I'm fine with it. And it might just be quality of video capturing the movement of the cannonballs that make them look odd. Maybe if there was more of a blackened touch to the cannonballs. They seem so shiny. ;)

This ship sinking animation can be changed later, so not a big deal if all it does now is just drop. Having it list or break up would be extra cool, but probably a rough thing to code.

But overall, thanks for this awesome vid, things look to be coming along well and once again I find myself drooling in anticipation.

[mlucas]

Well I like many have been disappointed about the lack compunctions from the Dev team but this video is just what the doctor ordered :D

I hope this video jumps starts a new wave of solid updated on a regular basics. As well as starts to crushes the vapor wares rumors that are growing in the gaming community. More Communications like this and updates will do the trick!

I guess like many members here. This is the type of e game we have been waiting for years. If the dev team can give us some tools to help get the word out, to show our clans, friend

[Derosian]

Yay, I feel strongly towards the devs *in a positive way*... *but not too positive*...

Anyway, keep up the good work, the three paychecks from now I buy myself a videocard which can play DF. :D

[BLACKWATCH]

Very well done Video this time! Miles ahead of there last Fly by video.
Well Done..

Hum. This is a first step in bringing life back to the community and to the gaming public, I am so Happy to see you come to your senses .

Better late then never.

Ships were great, But Cannon Ball(s) animation sucked to hell!!!

Battle speed and effects were great.

Spells looking good, weapons, and armor awesomely done.

Race size was good, Orcs and Mahirim nice and Tall . Human , Elfs normal.

NO ALFAR shown. Thats bad , Unless I missed them.

Id give this effort 2 thumbs up, and if this IS a return to supporting the community I applaud you, if its a one shot deal, well back to the darkness.

Your on a roll, try to keep it going.. :) Well Done!

[Ghostface]

totaly agree with Blackwatch!

nice video! well done.

[Locien]

[QUOTE=Darkmatter;703309]Woot @ Orom

[Maedhros]

Looks pretty damn good. A lot smoother looking then from the last video shown. The ships were really cool but the cannon balls were pretty lame, i wanna see some flying/splintered wood when a ship gets hit, hopefully they add that. The combat looks pretty chaotic, i like. Pretty damn good for pre-beta still. Oh yeah, i love the clouds :D.

Oh and i loved when the person drops the huge guy with a mace, funny as hell.

[uniqueuser]

Visible cannonballs are a definite stylistic error. Muzzle velocity is so high that you wouldn't catch the slightest glimpse of the projectile at that range and viewing distance.

[CaptainObvious]

Awesome video!

[UtbildadNinja]

Must... Play... DARKFALL!!!

[Spawl]

When the two riders come through town, did anyone see an NPC on the streets? Is this an abandoned town? Were the devs working in a beta load without NPCs or were the NPCs actually smart enough to run for the hills when a battle breaks out rather than just standing there?

I have visions of stablehands chasing off invading orks with pitchforks. I just can't stand it when NPCs just stand there still trying to sell their bread when everyone around them is getting slaughtered.

[Kahlin]

I can't wait for this game to come out, I will drop World of Warcraft and bring about 30 people with me to play this game, we have been looking for some great pvp action. Thanks Tasos, great video, can we get another? :D

[Metal Wolf]

Now thats an update, one sentance and it blows away most any interview.

[Viare]

omg... its not vapor ware.. WOOOHOO!!! Tsaos so how much will it cost me to get one of those huge imperial cannon ships!!!! Can u guys imagine the random wars that r gona b going on its gona be like reading a song of ice and fire series with wana be lords leading there men to battle everywhere. I personally like the weapon trails adds some spice to the game. I really hope u guys get PvE right tho cause thats one of the main reasons SB died. It was so boring to lvl ur char for pvp most people didnt want to =D

[Airius Droc]

We made a new video, you can get it here: (http://files.darkfallonline.com/darkfall_battle.zip)

God Damn.

Thank you. :)

[crazyhorse]

thanks you sir, may i have another!

[Viare]

btw i have a whole small guild that is gona come to this game from WoW at launch =DDDD

it looks like magic users have some sweeeeet ass spells in this game. and the ENVIROMENTS LOOK WICKED! They actually really do look very very good.

[Yuengling.OoB]

Thanks a bunch...

[crazyhorse]

I really hope u guys get PvE right tho cause thats one of the main reasons SB died. It was so boring to lvl ur char for pvp most people didnt want to =D

you dont have to worry about boring grinding for your char. there are no lvls to build up. its all skill based, meaning you can perfect your talents on pve or pvp. no more endless hours of trying to lvl up.

[Justinian]

damn, that's fucking sick. good work, can't wait to pay you money to play it.

[Finrod]

That is goddam incredible, good job! :) can't wait to play.

[LanMandragon]

That buys you about a 6 months to a year.

Jesus, way to ruin gaming for me.

[Airius Droc]

no healthbars and crosshair?
maybe just because demo but i really missed the crosshair. that simple crosshair from video1 was so cool.

The movement is still way to slooow.


For some people this game will never be fast enough. The speed looks PERFECT to me. Please don't change it. No healthbars and no crosshairs...LOVE IT.

Slow? what the hell do you want? Quake? Remember this is an mmo, not fps.

[r4nge]

woooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

[fCo_Pancho]

Great footage. Keep it coming!


That Mahirim with the polearm jumping off the hill made it for me.

[Death's Chill]

:eek:

I did NOT expect this when I came online here. Hell yes. You finally listen and put forth more videos. The only thing better than this is a beta date, haha.:lmao:

Way to go. This made my day. Very cool video. :D

Oh and i loved when the person drops the huge guy with a mace, funny as hell.

I think the cannon balls moved too fast. I barely saw them before they landed on the ship. Perhaps this is more realistic but I think I'd prefer to see em more. :)

[Stiler]

Looks awesome :D, finally something new to see. The enviroment looks quite nice imo and the combat reminds me of mount and blade.

I just hope that melee combat gets a bit of an upgrade or something.

[Ferox]

Now we have to wait 1 year for another one ;)




rofl... true, so true.


not a bad video, not at all. The one thing I thought watching that video is that I hope I can have the option to do melee combat in first person.. god I hate that behind the back 3rd person combat view..

[TizzyFoe]

wow that looks really nice, cant wait for beta/release

my one complaint would be the sinking ship was a little unrealistic, mabye tweek the animation so it does down at an angle. The graphics looked a lot better then i would have guessed 6 months ago.

[Porthios]

HOLY FUCKING GOD!!! YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU!

Now, someone go post this shit over at MMORPG.com so that stupid fucking article writer can shut the fuck up.

This is great Aventurine/RW!

Omfg Yes

[Celerity]

WOW!

Guys, that video is awesome. Your game looks fantastic! Fast-paced, exciting, fun - just WOW!

I can't wait to get a chance to break it. :D

Slow? what the hell do you want? Quake? Remember this is an mmo, not fps.

There are a lot of people that seem to think that blinding speed = skill. Get used to hearing this complaint from people that have no actual skill, they just mash buttons in the same pattern.

[FrostByte]

Have to addmit, it was a shock when i logged in. Long time just silence(more or less, we did get smaller updates) and then they just drop a bomb like "...oh and btw, we have a gameplay video for you." It was heavenly after long day at school. :D Dual-wield, mount itself attacking, naval combat, Thrusting AND slashing attacks (or then it was just default animation for daggers:eek: ), more magick (and spell projectiles moving different speeds, allso could be me dreaming...), awesome scenery,.... now what can more anyone hope (Mirdain/Alfar, and sieges excluded;) )
Oh and did anyone see that fireball cast at ship? Hopefully it means you can fight wihtout cannons too (what i mean is that really small ships without cannons could actually have a chance against bigger one)
Mount combat looks awesome!

Edit! Melee looks bit choppy imo. (had to add this so i wouldn

Cannonballs move fast, it's their thing :D

Like in this movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClIFdoo26Ww
See that velocity :ohno:

"Every boy wants one"

[Alphacod]

Awesome, thank you for the visual eye candy, makes me even that more excited about darkfall, thanks for relightening my flame.

[Relode]

Looked absolutely amazing.

[FraBaktos]

Hmm, we're all so deprived that a one minute video is so exiciting to us all... kinda funny. The video was quite good though, I have to admit the graphics are looking much better than I ever expected them to. I didn't like the frame drop during the big melee scene, but oh well. Everything looked solid, from melee combat to magic and naval. Obviously the naval combat still needs a bit of work animation wise but it's still a revolutionary feature that no MMORPG has had yet, and would still be amazing in it's current state. Hopefully beta is coming soon, we've all been waiting too long to sink our teeth into this game :)

True, we are very deprived and so a 1 min video hypes us up...but damn, they put a lot into a 1 min video. WAY better than the previous video IMO. I'll spare you the repetitive "thank you" and "ZOMG FINALLY" comments devs :)
The one thing I thought watching that video is that I hope I can have the option to do melee combat in first person.. god I hate that behind the back 3rd person combat view..
I still think there should be NO 3rd person, but I'm in a...small group. Seems some of us are still at least partially in the WoW "stare at our phat loot syndrome" to me.
Yes, I realize there are some advantages to 3rd person melee. The whole point of 1st person melee is that it's hard ;)

Admittedly though, with no crosshair and the sheer SPEED of the combat (it's...faster than in the '06 video, assuming that wasn't in some sort of fast forward) the lack of hitboxes seems fine.

[RavenLord]

Thank you.

[Consume]

holy shit that video is awsome =D i loved it

[HellFire[GoD]]

Looks great.

[Niccoli]

HOLY FUCKING GOD!!! YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU!

Now, someone go post this shit over at MMORPG.com so that stupid fucking article writer can shut the fuck up.

This is great Aventurine/RW!

Too true. :)

[Khael[SUN]]

Holy shit, that was an awesome video. Right when I had given up all hope... damn now I am fanboi again. Looks very nice and better than I woulda thought.

[Archazar]

;703573']Holy shit, that was an awesome video. Right when I had given up all hope... damn now I am fanboi again. Looks very nice.

Same here. Thx for the crumbs. Now we stfu for a month or two.

You bought yourself some precious time Razorwax! :cool: Get Beta done asap...

Arch

[Ulcis Cor]

OMG YES! This was absolutely great! I bet the vaporsayers shut their stinkin' pieholes now. I'm a patient guy and normally I would say you've bought yourselves some time but damnit I wanna play!

Hell, I'd take a beta weekend like Guild Wars did or for that matter just release the character generator. Now that would keep some mouths shut for an extended time period, guaranteed.

[kapli]

Amazing, just.. amazing.
Thank you <3

[Kurian]

Amazing, thanks for the video Tasos. The game is looking amazing clean and finished.

[Goty]

Wooo.

About damned time, I say.

Glad to finally see this game in action, though. :)

[Angry-Khan]

We made a new video, you can get it here: (http://files.darkfallonline.com/darkfall_battle.zip)

I dont think i beleive you...

[Armstrong[DiE]]

OMG

Alot better then i expected and dared to hope, Not that grahpic mean lot to me but its always a PLUS + if it looks good. And whats best is there is no fucking neon shit around the chars or names and crap above the charaters.

Ships look nice and the mounted combat is awesome,
the ONLY thing I didnt like was when the orc? run up to the cannon, the "aiming" thing feel abit much as BF2042 or CS imo.


I cant wait for this game! :D

[LordAkkron]

Really nice video!

Too much to hope for beta before summer?
Keep working.

[doma]

Too much to hope for beta before summer?


heyhey, slow down mate. I know we are all high on this video, but lets not get silly now :P beta before summer, hehe.

Try beta before 09. maybe :)

[SnapAtl]

That was pure awesome. Loving the spell effects and sound.

[Mobed]

Yes... This is more like it.

[TreyDingo2020]

Awesome video.

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of alfar but nothing.

Loved the ship to ship combat, and I dont know if anyone saw that massive ship in the back of the clip that shows the six ships floating, but it was huuge.

This clip has definitely reestablished all my hopes and dreams in the game (not that i ever really lost them)

Keep going.

Best PvP guilds are waiting...

[VidarDf]

oh man thats some unreal shit goin on.. i love it.. great job guys. keep up the good work.


with one post, you revived everyones enthusiasm.. i love it:) thanx guys

[Nerma]

Very nice, everything looks great. I like the new Adventurine logo, too.

[Bigbone]

Very nice video! Thanks alot for taking the time to compile it.

[Webco]

Fuck-N-A.... Awesome!!!

[Goz]

Excellent Video!!!

[Komako]

Jesus holy fucking Mary hell shit manbearcow!

[Adreu]

Very good...bravo! Thanks Tasos. :)

[Eldest]

-Cannonballs need to be darker and shoot more realistically (Mabye watch some actual cannon footage!?!?!)
-Cannonballs should be darker
-Ships need to break before they sink (Think Titanic)
-EVERYTHING ELSE FOOKING ROCKED!

[nazual]

Thanks for the vid. Appreciate it :)

[Avaunt]

Looks great, I really like the mounted & ship combat. Also, the ability to aim the cannons looked pretty fun. Can't wait to get my feet wet ;)

[Atoyota]

Looks pretty cool, can't wait to see more.

Really appreciated that you took the time to do this for us....

Thank you :)

[NyaR]

waaawaaweewaaaa
is very nice, i like

[Ghorne]

Nice footage!

[Crovax]

Downloading right now, I can't wait for this thing

Edit: Holy shit, I'm blown away by this, great job devs, hopefully this will convince people that DF is far from being "vapor"

[Decius]

Fantastic looking video! Great to see so much in about a minute! :)

The spells looked great but I thought they'd knock those guys on their asses when they hit so close. (edit- looks like I just overlooked frames with knockback. Very cool!)

The clear screen is much better than that ubiquitous targetting reticle in the last video and so many recent screens. Hopefully it's out and we'll have to learn to aim!

The sinking boat was less impressive but not something I couldn't live with for now. Could you add fires to show damage similar to the pain-skin that shows damage done to our avatars? I'd also like to see cannons cause some knockback so that crews can't immediately return fire from areas just hit. (Edit- maybe those flashes were damage indicators and not incoming hits...)

Overall though, a very satisfying video! :)

[Casus]

Nice!
Great work! :D

[Doink]

cant wait to test the waters myself.. kudos for bringing these boards to life with interesting video to discuss... KEEP EM COMING BABY I LOVE YOU GUYS :D

[Mayson]

wow looks great, its awesome to know that you can make a video look soo cool in just under 6 years of devlopment!

[Apophis]

Seeing this I might have to start looking at the forums more often.....

[doma]

Seeing this I might have to start looking at the forums more often.....

no worries. Its about a year until the next one :)

[Geminireaper]

Man that was awesome..i now have to go change my jockies. Im soo glad im building a blazing new PC soon.

[Beal]

I hope the video doesn't do it justice because it doesn't look as good as I hoped it would be.

Can't judge it until you've played it though, I won't look at the graphical quality because I'm waiting for this game purely for the gameplay.

Mix of games like oblivion/morrowind and halflife from my perspective(the way the game shows you operating the cannon reminds me of halflife :P)

[oldtiimer]

:ohno: :ohno: best

[Malishan]

Man that was awesome..i now have to go change my jockies. Im soo glad im building a blazing new PC soon.

Me too! I'm barely holding myself back, not gonna build my new one till the day before beta/release starts, but it'll all be worth the wait :) sweet video!

[Norse]

It doesent seem to play like vaporware. Must be time to message bomb the nay sayers.

[SnapAtl]

<3 pure awesome.

[Lord Caim]

*Heaven's Golden Chorus Sings*

This is masterful. I am speechless after watching. It is simply amazing.

Thank You Tasos, Thank You Aventurine. I knew you guys were working hard and I never doubted (really I didn't, check my posts). You guys are making the best game ever. All I can say is KEEP GOING!!! WOO!!!

[clearascrys]

Great to see, looking forward to more :D

[Matteon]

I have mixed feelings about the video. The manual targetting is a big plus. I really liked the over-the-shoulder shot of the player manually firing his cannon at another ship. Some of the other clips of the ship battles seemed less exciting. A lot of the shots of cannonballs hitting the ships didn't seem to leave any marks and that ship that sunk went down quite fast. however, I'm willing to give them some leeway on this since it's a somewhat revolutionary bit of content.

The land battles fall somewhere in between. Not quite as cool as the shot of the player firing the cannon but cleaner than the wider ship combat clips.

All in all, if the game plays smooth and looks like it did in that video it should be a winner.

[sm00th]

Great video! Keep up the good work!

[WonderBrick]

Very, very nice.


I love the:

movement speed

Spell-speeds(though I hope that people still have a chance to dodge many of them)

The overall performance of engine, especially with casting, and so much chaos.

fireball splash-damage

legs on fire

different sized characters

the fair amount of obstacles scattering the landscape in areas

boats

cannon aiming

music, especially the bass

sound effects

Weapons and armor that are not to overbearingly flashy

the overall not-to-glitzy world colors

animations

Seeing the Aventurine logo finally give slight more life to Aventurine



Constructive criticism:

Water has no ripples with horses coming out of it

Melee seems swing-spam-heavy, but I hope stamina limitations help keep this in check. And I hope battles are fairly long(not-10sec).

I can't say I enjoy seeing casters having to use magestaffs instead of hands. I am hoping mage staffs are not just the "solution" found to solve a balanced item-slot/casting-bonus/game mechanic issue. I hope staffs are not required to cast all spells.

Cannons firing, and then firing again so quickly?

Weapon-swings seem to have longer range then weapopn appears to be in length?



What I would love to see in future(of course!):

Alfar models

more casting FPV

GUI in use during battle, including healthbars

1v1 warriors to the death

1v1 mages to the death

1vs1 mage vs warrior to the death

Seige!



I love the overall pace of the game! Many, many thanks for video.

[WeEo]

wow, this delivers two times. Good Job devs

[Paco69]

Nice :d

[WonderBrick]

And the boats... DAMN! Yeah, the cannon-balls looked a little like placeholders, but I'm not worried about it. I loved the wind going through the sails, a really nice touch.

I'm not to worried either. I can imagine them being possible final artwork. I t seems that the devs have taken a 2D sprite-approach, instead of a 3D approach, to some areas of the game, like the fire/explosions. Half-Life 1/2 did the same thing for performance reasons, and I liked the end result still.

That's not to say things can't always get a bit more polished, though.

[WonderBrick]

Horses still look ridiculous.
Glad to see things working.
I agree, the horses still look cartoony. It reminds me of cartoony Unreal Tournament graphics. I like the leaner, realistic look like Mount & Blade.

[pronkyou2]

[QUOTE=mlucas;703350]Well I like many have been disappointed about the lack compunctions from the Dev team but this video is just what the doctor ordered :D

I hope this video jumps starts a new wave of solid updated on a regular basics. As well as starts to crushes the vapor wares rumors that are growing in the gaming community. More Communications like this and updates will do the trick!

I guess like many members here. This is the type of e game we have been waiting for years. If the dev team can give us some tools to help get the word out, to show our clans, friend

[WonderBrick]

The fireball from two points of veiw, the mage and then from the point of view of the two hit by it.
I liked this alot also.

This ship sinking animation can be changed later, so not a big deal if all it does now is just drop. Having it list or break up would be extra cool, but probably a rough thing to code.
I agree.

The one thing I thought watching that video is that I hope I can have the option to do melee combat in first person.. god I hate that behind the back 3rd person combat view..
Amen

[Renithir]

Well, looking at this a couple different ways I say the posting of a video out of the blue without mentioning, or even hinting at "Beta Soooon" was pretty refreshing. I'd hope to see more interaction like this.

I thought the video itself, although short, was pretty good. I liked the feel of the environment. The bird soaring high as the horseman leaves the village, the sway of the grass, the glint off of the weapons as they face the sun. I even liked the way the terrain fades to dark as you look out in the forest. I'm not sure how appropriate this would be in a grassy plain, or even if it can be extended so you can see people off in the distance, but I'm pleased enough with it for now.

As well, I thought the character models, the look of the combat, and the spell effects were all good. The ship cambat could use more polish as noted by others.

[Afgar]

Good video.

[Speaker]

oh my god please please please i need you in my life please.

[gold]

simply amazing, just keep with the updates. dont disappear. thats all we ask.

[Necrash]

All I Got To Say Is Amen!

[Phooey]

That was awesome.

[rammon]

To be honest the game looks old, but if and when it ever comes out, it'll be one of a kind for the time being (assuming it's released before Age of Conan and Warhammer Online), and thus I'm still in expectation. I still like for example WW2 Online due to it's uniqueness, even if it is somewhat ugly compared to modern games.

[dknight]

Awesome, thanks!

[Airius Droc]

Weapon-swings seem to have longer range then weapopn appears to be in length?

I noticed this too, and I think it's something that should change. I think that's part of the skill aspect, understanding when someone is in range of "your" weapon.

[Afgar]

Regardless of how it looks, you'll learn to judge your weapon swings.

[Xife]

:ohno: :ohno: HOLY SHIT:ohno:

[alfaroverall]

:ohno: :ohno: HOLY SHIT:ohno:
:lmao: If I recall I actually said the same thing out loud when I saw this thread...

[Figrix Voidstar]

That was very, very fun to watch ^^

I liked the mahirim closeup alot, I saw a few dudes get run through too. Seems like that really smarts!

Looks pretty damn fun :sly:

[Iggy Munster]

i need to play it more now. Put it on the shelves now.

[Airius Droc]

Regardless of how it looks, you'll learn to judge your weapon swings.

That's true.

[Scottc1988]

That was great.

[Logrus]

Call out the mans manhood an he delivers a video.. Maybe in a month or so ill call him out an get us a beta date..

There are a few visual problems i have with DF. The first was when the mobs bum rushed the female warrior. It looked as if there was a huge lag spike. The weapons seem to have a weird swing delay. Yet in other parts it was smooth like the male on the horse. So maybe its the way the video was captured or the way my system is viewing it.. The other thing i think looks odd is the way they ran..

[Rossm]

damn... that video was sweet... I especially liked the naval battle and the short 'joust' between the human and the orc

[Fylraen]

I noticed this too, and I think it's something that should change. I think that's part of the skill aspect, understanding when someone is in range of "your" weapon.

You'll still need to know that! It just might not be exactly at the visual end of your weapon.

With latency and server calculations and stuff, things just aren't realistically ever going to be exact, either.

[Airius Droc]

I understand that... I want constancy though.

[Marlen]

OMG!!
that was amazing, totally unexpected and greatly appreciated ^ ^
preety much same comments from before, naval needs some work, overall very good.

>.< only thing the vid did was make me wanna play the game more

[Lifeless]

omg its downloading now and i gotta say taht i was completely caught by surprise when i saw there was a new video. the pr department is starting to learn :D

[Viktaal]

Sweet vid, great work guys! Let's keep it coming :D

[Drakier]

SWEET MOTHER OF JEHOSAFAT!!!...This game is gonna be incredible, I already have about 5 to 6 friends waiting to play this game, it is gonna be great once it comes out.

[Barateous]

Damn! I cant watch it! My media player doesnt support it! Damn! Damn it all!

Why did they have to make it .zip?!

[Epsilon]

it was ok, im still hoping one can disable the gore effect on your screen when hit

[BlackVolgan]

wowowowow gonna check it now...!!!

[Afgar]

Melee combat looks very simple. So far all we've seen has been simple slashing and blocking animations. Is melee simply a matter of timing mouse clicks and aiming? I was hoping there'd be certain types of swings you could train / activate in combat and much like caster oriented players will have certain spells, melees will get certain other abilities.

[Afgar]

Damn! I cant watch it! My media player doesnt support it! Damn! Damn it all!

Why did they have to make it .zip?!

no media player can play .zip files. It is contained in a .zip, which you unzip and play the video. If you don't have a program that can unzip, you really should get one.
