New World

I just can't tell anything about this game. There's moments I feel like it's one type of game and then I see a video that takes me in an entirely different direction.

Seems to be coming along quite well but I guess we'll learn a lot more over the summer.

That video did not excite me. It should excite me this close to release. I am not really impressed. Wish it was better.

Sword it is!

These guys got an interview

I looked at the video again. Here is my problem. The graphics look....blah for this day and age in gaming. If it was 10 years ago, the graphics might have interested me some. Guildwars 2 has similar graphics. I understand that my opinion is subjective. I just think that graphics should be exciting. If there were to be another Everquest, graphics would certainly be key to the overhaul. I will post an example of a game that is at least 2 more years out that has a beautiful look.


This video is out of date a bit as they have actually just updated their engine. Looking forward to the new looks

Very subjective, AoC's art direct is weird AF to me and is a turn off, but i'll still be playing it and emoting at ppl with that weird fucking camel-snake mount. For me the difference between AoC graphically is the AoC graphics team has managed to get an extremely smooth running engine, whereas New World has certain jank in spots, like staff users and their movement animations.

By the time AoC launches in a year and a half New World have plenty more meat added I would think, along with a lot of shit smoothed out -- they've already built a positive track record for that.

Considering you just paid 500$ to get in alpha of said game, can you really be unbiased?

I know where I stand. I am just curious as to how others think the graphics in the game are what you would expect in this day and age. They just do not look that good. Its why the new video fell down hard for me. It was trying to show off the games graphics but there was not anything worth really showing off. Amazon needs to have good game play to compensate for the mediocre graphics and the video did not show anything of that nature really.

Graphics are fine man.

Graphics can be fun for staged screenshots or environment shots/video but turned down instantly in any kind of serious play, because I don't need fancy shadows, foliage that makes the ground look like a rain forest or to be able to see the jewel on my enemie's sword sparkle. AoC is supposedly pretty big on big guild fights, though this is supposed to have 50vs50 guild fights also. I expect all the fancy smancy graphic options to be turned to low during these. Or any other actual serious combat activity.

I just don't see graphics as that important in a video game compared to the rest. As long as your overall theme/look meshes well, good to go.

Between the 2 games I just see to different paths taken. One is trying to be very realistic as possible and the other feels like they went about 70% realistic then into stylistic to smooth it out. To each their own. The former usually though commandeering a generous amount of budget to keep up.

Hell the amazon game I could end up playing this year might be lost ark. Supposed to be published and released by them in 2021

New World gives me a strong ESO vibe. I'll play it, just not the biggest fan

Way overdue, but I'm still looking forward to it. It's the 2nd most popular game in Korea behind League of Legends.

As for the graphics between this and AoC, it's more art style than quality in my opinion. Both are great just different style.

The game seems to be moving along quite well from the beta off almost a year ago.

I agree overdue. I still want to play it, it still looks awesome. Just absolute silence about it is crazy, considering from what I read they have a contract that it comes out this year.

Definitely looks like a game Ill play for maybe a month and then never touch again. Either way Im excited for something new to play.

^ Guys in here worried about graphics when the game itself isn't compelling enough to warrant playing more than a month. Damn, do we ever get what we deserve.

I really enjoyed this video better.

Some points:

*Shows the UI in action a lil better
*Bosses have certain modifiers under their names
*Bosses wern't just tank&spank
*In game voice chat?
*Limited rezes during boss fights
*Last boss at about 20 mins in, feels right
*Shows new footage of bow/spear weapon combo at the 13:50 mark ish
*Game looks like great IMO
