    I'm not a fan of eastern games. They're filled with gender locked "gotcha" mechnics that make it a turn off. All the best to those that like this sort of game tho.

    I think it looks great. The fighting is like a 3d fighting game.

    Look... shiny UE5 graphics! We got SOLO which is pretty much the same thing and nobody played it, they'd do better not porting it over to the west.

    Looks stellar. LOVE Jin Yong



    Me too I like Jin Yong, I wonder how they implement sects in the game, or joining one. btw for those who doesn't know who Jin yong, he is the author of a lot of wuxia genre novels. one of them is legend of condor heroes that was adapted to tv series like 5 times. too bad he passed away in 2018.

    There is only 2 characters on the screen and it looks like its performing at 20fps, so I'm going to wait until it gets closer to release and see more progress until I show any real interest.

    I agree. I feel like even the typical 'walk around town' benchmark style trailer would've been a better approach.

    More flashy junk that will be filled with bloated microtransactions, a poorly translated storyline, and weebs telling us how it's the second coming of MMOs for the first three-six months before it finally quiets down and falls into obscurity again so that none of us ever have to hear about it for the rest of our lives.


    ELYON, Blade and Soul, Revelation Online, Bless, etc, etc.

    Same story every time. Players screeching about how great the game is going to be, purchasing collector editions, decrying people who are saying that it's going to be the same generic crap we've seen countless times over and over (and it always is).

    Depends if its on the PC really, Wuxia has a great tradition film wise, not so great game wise. Never read the books mind you.

    I think they are trying to show why this MMO is different and the combat looks good, but there is so much more to a MMO than that. However it is a lot better than forever seeing another set of art assets or wondering when various aspects of the gameplay will get joined up.

    That's the point, it's not about "real" it's about style and the fantastical.

    Not sure why people, who play games with magic and fantastical races and unrealistic science fiction can't understand that this type of eastern style is yet another branch on the "suspension of disbelief" tree.

    On the back burner like so many other games. I seem to have a lot more these days. The genre definitely doesn't seem dead, by the vume of games. However, the flow seems to be down to a trickle.

    Well I don't know about you, but, I am just looking for that game with the perfect combination of good graphics and proper ass physics, with clothing/armor that allows me to appreciate that attention to detail, and yet still rated safe enough to play with my wife in the room.

    Because lets be honest, if you play a 3rd person MMO, you are going to spend a lot of hours looking at your toons ass, and I am still on the quest to find the company that is willing to put in the time and effort to respect that time spent.

    @Aori

    The moment I know the MMO is coming in from Korea, I know there's roughly a 85, maybe 90% chance that it's going to be low-effort garbage. A vast majority of them are. They can turn around a game that is either doing poorly in its native country or a publisher sees dollar signs by purchasing the rights to distribute a game that is more or less already created with built-in monetization and updates (if the game has been released for a while in Korea already). They can do voice-overs (usually very bad, see Rev Online, whatever else.) and maybe change up some of the most egregious pay-to-win features, but they can still monopolize on the ability to create roadblocks and problems for their players that they can sell solutions to. (Low inventory, locked out of dungeons without keys, whatever your poison).

    It's an easy win because people here in the West will continue to suck down whatever dribble is brought to them because the MMO genre is stagnating to such a degree that we haven't seen a new MMO worth putting on a 'top 5s list' in the last 10 years. Most of the MMOs that are played and mentioned or are well known are at least 12+ years old. The new blood is fleeting, and the communities we once knew of have grown increasingly fickle as the "core base" of players either diminishes or is replaced by a wave of players who enter the space and immediately leave to the next game or follow their favorite streamer.

    I think there's also just such a massive drive from older players though who just want something new. The formula is very trite and recognizable at this point. New as in innovative, something different. What that looks like? I don't think anyone knows. So folks move from new game to new game only to realize that they're horribly disappointed because it doesn't do much that sets itself apart from the games that have come before it. Same boring quests. Same boring grind. Dungeons, Raids, whatever. So once we figure out there's nothing new or innovative out there, we get nostalgic for the "old days" and look for something that reminds us of when MMOs were NEW and something interesting to explore and not just another generic game shit out by a publisher to capitalize on the fact that there's nothing interesting coming to the space.

    Nowhere did they say or hint this would be an MMO.
