Took em 8 years to come out with that? Pathetic.

They restarted in 2003, so only 5 year on the current buildup.... "WITH 40 PEOPLE" WoW took like 4-5 years with (120) people and it is like 1/10th the size... (The opossite of pathetic)

Shees... will we start discussing in WAR's forum how long DF was in development?  Really?  I mean... wasnt it enough discussion over all the internet forums already?  That we have to discuss it here?

Both games will be GREAT.  Both games almost dont compete with each others.  They are featured different and will attract different players.  Only a some part of the PvP ones will have to decide between the two and maybe they will play both.

What is wrong with that, this "thread" was deticated to DF even though its in WARs forum, And besides, "Took em 8 years to come out with that? Pathetic" Is begging for correction, i have no doubt both will be great either, I am currently beta'ing WAR, its awsome, on the same hand i will probly beta DF
 

Those new Darkfall videos claim the game would be out in 2008.

They only just started taking beta-sign ups.     They're saying the beta is starting in Oct.

That gives them a whopping  2-3 months for a beta test with actual external testers.

Do the math.   We've seen in the past what happens when Developers try to push out MMORPGs while skimping on beta-testing.     DF fans should be screaming at Aventurine to push back the release date but instead they're just accepting it like they've accepted all the claims the Devs have ever made. 

The warning signs have been there throughout this game's entire rocky development, this is just the latest (and biggest) one so far.

I guess we will discuss this once again... shess... some people never stop... go ahead... discuss for how long DF was in development... amazing.

Until I've actually played darkfall, I'll reserve judgement.  Until that time how would I, or anyone else for that matter, know how good that game will be.  I have played WAR, and I find it fun.  So I can judge that game, but for me to speculate on how good or bad Darkfall will be, would be foolish.  /shrug

Good luck to those of you waiting for Darkfall, I hope you find the game you seek, but I feel you are truly reaching, when trying to compare it at this point to a nearly finished game.

I will have to see it to believe it the footage looks pretty much like WAR ala (CLIMAX) footage from 4 years ago before they closed shop the footage is still on YouTube for the old WAR. I will give them credit if they ever pull it off as it is a game I might like if they deliver everything, but the modeling they are using is pretty old from the look but it going to be hard to tell until people can play it.

OMG who cares?

If you enjoy WAR, play WAR

If you enjoy WOW, play WOW

If you enjoy DFO, play DFO

Why the F*** do we keep having to compare one game to another.

These threads are getting tiring

I saw pretty textures with poor environmental modeling and sub-par animation and FX.  Also that had better not be in-game music.  These are all things that can be corrected in time, and Darkfall may turn out to be a great game, but not in 2008.  This game is unfortunately a ways from release, though I will likely try it out when it nears completion.  If it can pull these issues together and deliver on the fronts that we can't glean from a video (sandbox freedom, immersion, balance, etc.), this game may do well.  Here's to hoping it does.
