Full Darkfall Presentation

I already wrote about the Athens Event and posted the vid with a short gameplay footage, but here's the recently released full version.

It's nearly 500 MB large and you can download it here (torrent), or from this Filefront link.

Although the quality of the video is ... well nearly horrible, not to mention the sound, it's a nice preview for those who are grasping at straws.

From what I can tell, the graphics in Darkfall are amazing, especially the shadows. It does appear the game has some bugs, which is of course expected but still not nice to show on a presentation. Interface doesn't look all that intuitive as they want us to believe, but I'll have to try it myself first -- perhaps I'm mistaken.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Darkfall Release Date Announced

Finally the date is set! January 22nd, 2009.

Here's an excerpt from the press release:

Athens, Greece – December 5th, 2008 - Audio Visual Enterprises SA and Aventurine SA in a joint statement today announced that their highly anticipated MMORPG title Darkfall Online will launch across Europe on January 22nd, 2009. North American players are also welcome to participate in the European launch of Darkfall which will precede a North American launch.

Let's pray the launch will be smooth and the game even better than we expected!

The Athens Event - New Darkfall Info

At the recent event in Athens, some info was released about Darkfall, most importantly the start of the open beta which should be finished in December this year. It appears they also improved the graphics a bit and other than that, there nothing too important, but you can check the video below to see some gameplay footage.

What is Darkfall Online

Darkfall is the most revolutionary MMORPG to be released in a long time. It has no levels or tiers, instances or any other restrictions. Combat is FPS style based, where you have to aim your attacks, whether they are by sword, bow or spell. You can fight with your clan against other clans and literally take their cities, with the help of siege weapons and warhulks. You can also fight on both land and sea; yes, there are ships and you can be a pirate. You can ride and fight on mounts, and even steal other people's mounts, you can craft armor, weapons and other items, build your own cities and kingdoms... You can attack anyone you want, and play both PvP (player vs. player) or PvE (player vs. environment).

It really is a revolutionary game which will surely bring a lot of innovative elements to MMO games. You can be whoever you want and do whatever you want in this game, without any limitations.
