Did somebody say Dark and Light gameplay footage? Let's break it down!

SerMedieval

What do you folks think about the footage? Also the source: Victor_Z said that all of these screenshots/videos were released through their (I'm assuming Snail) QQ Group chat. QQ is an international instant messanger program if any of you lovely folks didn't know. I had to use it religiously when trying to get into the Beta for a solid martial arts game called Moonlight Blade, so I'm pretty familiar with it.



I think that there could also be more, or less depending on how Snail takes this information getting released, if it was by them (Hopefully they take it well). Anyway, let's discuss this. The Bronto in that video looks exactly like the one we saw in the Dark and Light trailer, and the cyclops or ogre looks identical to the ones we've seen in articles.

Also Victor_Z stated this on his twitter when he said it was from the QQ group chat, in case you folks were wondering.

Refresh the page, I'm editing that in now.

hope they don't cut out 90 percent of the amazing features this game had 

Huge ass Mountain ranges with Snowy atmospheres really was the draw of this game for a lot of people

More of nothing, and someone said the EA release is in 9 days. Looking good Snail...real good.

Same here I'm really looking forward to a huge living/breathing world to explore. When Snail was doing a Q&A in discord regarding the map size Horsejoke from Snail said they were shortening the map size from what it used to be and strayed away from Procedural Generation so the world could feel more real and have more lore to it. I'm hoping that means it's going to be detailed and still have a lot of room to explore. That's a good chunk of enjoyment out of any sandbox right there!

Apparently people who post pictures and video made with their cell phone have never figured out they can get a wide shot by turning the cell phone on it's side.

It'll sink in one of these years... Maybe

I just hope i can finally enjoy an open world with no loading screens. Ive never really understood why that one simple thing is so hard to put into a game.

The terms "alpha" and "beta" have lost all meaning by now in game development. They can literally mean anything these days...
