    LOL

    Boo i say BOO ...Butt wiggling forgiveness.Go for the wiggles boo go for the wiggles.
    Way too low budget for my liking. However the wiggles is actually a funny touch,at least looks a tad different than what we are used to seeing for models and animation.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Animations need some work. Good alpha footage.

    All I seen were bad biting animations and running animations. >.<

    I do realize it's pre-alpha so no real judgement. However the walking/running (whatever it was) animation looks like someone's mom rushing to the oven make sure the muffins don't burn.
    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    if the game will look even CLOSE to this at release,its not worth playing at all,i havent seen as bad gameplay and walking animations as this since 1990s
  • LobotomistLobotomist Member EpicPosts: 5,980
    Oh my god. This is abomination.
    But seriously, what I am seeing here is a team making a game with purchased assets and no animator (or even a sense how human body moves). Now actually animations can be purchased too. And they should not spare price for them...

    But still, just imagine - a game of such quality where even simplest assets are purchased on marketplace - how good can other parts be ?

    This is hilarious
  • sakersaker Member RarePosts: 1,458
    Very bad idea to show animation this bad, even as alpha you just shouldn't show something like this. What kind of decision making involved in such a bad idea...
  • LaromussLaromuss Member UncommonPosts: 331
    All of you need an attitude adjustment and need to learn how to listen. This is a very very early alpha, proof of concept is what they are trying to show. Making sure the basics such as the server being able to handle player loads, interaction, syncing data etc. This not about showing pretty animations, textures, or even gameplay. Do you actually think this is the game and that a developer who depends on investments to move forward would say this is how the game is going to look and play? Jesus people, you all judge so quickly but fail to see how games are made. Even World of Warcraft was horrible in the early stages, there were sheep floating, climbing up trees, animations were stiff and combat was very simple and lacked the polish to give it the final looks and gameplay it has today. Games take time to make and in the industry they have a saying, any game you work on, you'll end up creating it 3 times over at least. The reason is the amount of iteration and changes a game goes through the life of it's production cycle. Polishing Animations, visuals etc are done near the end as they are not priority when it comes to things such as Server stability, optimization of game environments and mechanics tuning. So please do yourself a favour and read or ask someone you might know who actually works in the gaming world and you'll find out that its not all glamorous and having good animations does not have any value on how good a game is going to be.

    take a look at star citizen, the game looks great, visuals are all there but gameplay wise there is nothing there that says this is an amazing game. In fact all they've done is sell pretty looking ships and say that they are almost done and provided very little in terms of an actual game that is on it's way to being completed. On the other hand this trailer has shown the fundamentals of their game are working and are in place and that adding in animations etc will be easier once they have a solid foundation worked out with zero bugs as visuals can be rushed but gameplay and mechanics can not be.

  • MikehaMikeha Member EpicPosts: 9,196
    That was bad, very bad. 
  • RazeeksterRazeekster Member UncommonPosts: 2,591
    That animation looks like a pregnant lady doing the pregnant mom waddle. Also why was the female NPC at the beginning of the video dressed in what looked like a maternity nightgown? I'm sensing a theme here lol

    Looks like one of those crappy 'asset flip' games Digital Homicide likes to release every couple of months. Just terrible, even for a pre-alpha. They should've waited a few more months, because now all people are going to remember is how terrible this 'trailer' was, no matter how much it's improved in the coming months. Second chance, first impressions, and all that.

    AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

    No discussion about the game itself as it is a cool concept but the patreon rewards just do not seem appealing at all for the prices it is. Imagine giving even just $5 for a whole year by the time this is released.. That is $60, worthy of at least "early access" or some sort of in-game or game time or the game itself whatever payment model is. Imagine then doing the $50 a month patreon.... just for a better forum access? For the developer: change this to make it enticing if you want people to be patreons.

    More like someone's grandma.

    That is very true. Hopefully they'll have something better to show in the future.

    Gods above will we ever get a decent vamp/werewolf/supernatural based mmo before I die of old age.......

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.

    Don't talk about something without any knowledge, SC is very closed to finish, in fact they have already did livestream of actual gameplay that ranges from ship control to pvp, there are several dev videos still saved in twitch SC channel where devs are playing with alpha testers. Commenting on a subject on which you don't have any idea is just lame.

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    I get the comments and how it looks rather funny to some but a lot of times this is what a pre alpha looks like. So yeah it's going to look clunky, and things are going to look off. As someone who has participated and tested a lot of games I would definitely classify this as a pre alpha. A lot of people judge something like this and compare it with other games who are further a long development but I feel label it with the wrong development phase title.

    There's a lot of times developers state a game is in "beta" whether it be open or closed, just to make more profit but having 2 launches. MMORPG.COM's @BillMurphy has talked about this before.

    Horrible decision of the company to show the gameplay in this early stage.
    Wonderful decision for us - I had a good laugh.

    Yeah, it looks really rough, but I'd like to play as a vampire!

    Their website doesn't even work. I hope they're actually improving upon this.

    There's nothing more gratifying than playing an MMO for free.

    Wow, they forgot textures and optimization
