Darkfall Sequel coming 12/12/12!

Link

I never played the first one, I got into MMOs too late in the games life to make a investment, so I am definitely excited about the sequel. The marking for the game is almost nonexistent though, I just found out about it today. Apparently you cant even preorder it either.

Negative aspects aside the twitch based MMO pvp has me intrigued. I have also heard many good things about its wvw and crafting.

Edit: Its also on Steam Greenlight! Go vote it up!

That is true, but on the front page of that site, it has overtaken GW2 for page hits. I believe that if devs stop making bad MMOs and give gamers what they want, the game will thrive enough to be profitable. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

I fell in love with the concept for the original Darkfall and beta-tested it and everything, but the launch that followed was literally the worst launch in MMO history. I don't remember the exact details of it, but it was scary how painful of a launch it was - I never ended up buying the game because of it. So I think I'll wait until after the release of the sequel before making any decisions. :PKHAndAnime

i was wondering what ever happened to this game.. i followed it many years ago and they were saying it was supposed to be the next Ultima Online. might have to give it a try

i know graphics aren't everything, especially when talking about an MMO, but good god, it wouldn't hurt to have SOME production values. it looks like something out of 2006.BrunoBRS

Games today look almost the same as those in 2006, as far as graphic quality. The interface alone brings this game into 2012 quality. The Darkfall blog is a good place to find info and see the latest videos. The last few videos have impressed me. This could be a sleeper hit.

You are just proving my point more and more. Aside from a few lighting gimmicks, graphic quality is almost the same. Many newer games have washed out textures, and the 2006ish games are sometimes better on texture quality.

that game looks worse than morrowind.

Game looks promising, but DarkFall Online had a lot of problems and so might Unholy Wars. We will see what happens when the game comes out.

Good thing then that gameplay triumphs graphics.

And morrowind still beats a lot of modern games simply put because it plays better than the likes of skyrim, oblivion and fallout 3.

Darkfall was greenlit on Steam after only 2 days. That might be a record.

Watch the new air elementalist video.

Here is a 47 minute video interview between someone at MMORPG.com and Tasos (project lead). It contains quite a few bits of new information. I'm happy to hear the "limbo" system was scrapped. I also like that crafting has no limitations.

I see any argument against the graphics of Unholy Wars as all about personal taste, unless someone can get into some technical details as to why the game has poor graphics.

I would happily play a game with the visuals of Darkfall as long as its not the MMO crap we've been getting nowadays. If I want eyecandy ill boot up BF3 or something, if i want rich gameplay hopefully Darkfall will deliver. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Personally, I dont mind bad graphics as long as I can see what is going on.

Even then, there are things that take away immersion far more than bad graphics such as...

• Killing a guy only to have hiim come back after 10 minutes
• A world that feels stagnant and artificial
• Absurd weapon design like this

Yeah... that is a hammer. Looks like an electric broccoli to me.
