Stargate Worlds

Here's the thing about Darkfall that players don't seem to want to understand:

A game of that magnitude is going to be in development for a long time before its released. First of all, all the game features that are planned are going to take a long time to code. They say players can craft ANYTHING in the game, that's a lot of stuff man. Secondly, with all the game features, there will need to be a lot more bug testing, which just adds to the development time.

Now I might add that it was a mistake on the devs part to list all of the game features they are planning and release it to the public. That should never be done unless you are very very close to the release date. Because this is exactly what happens: Players wonder what the fuck is going on with the game and why its not finished all the way up until its release.

Either way, patience is a virtue. Just remember that most, if not all of the great MMORPG's usually have an extended development cycle.

And yes, I think Stargate should be open season

What the hell? Since when do great games have no gameplay footage after being in development for 7 years. People have been patient enough. If I can wait over 5 years for a game how can you call me impatient. Am I only patient if I wait 10 years?

MMORPGs take a long time to develop, but not that long my friend.

Stargate as far as I can tell has been in development for 2 years but you are looking at a big name title with large backing vs an indy title with a small team.  Do the maths.

This isn't a Stargate World vs Darkfall thread, its just highlighting how a game can get bashed when the competitors aren't that much better. 

 

i haven't noticed any darkfall commercials on the TV, but i've seen stargate ones (for the game).

why do people still bring up darkfall and why is it STILL on this site with a forum?  i'm going to make a game called "booga booga" and i will post a few screenshots... can i get it listed with a forum here as well?  it's as likely to be produced as this mythical darkfall thing.

Jeez...everyone is so angry...

I understand the difference in the time frame of development, but the OP has a point.  When I looked at this game like a year ago I thought...cool, but I have almost no info to tell whether or not I want to play it.

Now I go back today and see thats its being released at the end of the year, well dang, they must have some info up now...nope, same old stuff.

I've been following TCoS and it has a TON more info out than this game and its releasing at the same time...so there is a point here.

I'm not really comparing it to DF I'm just wondering why there isn't more info out there.

I am happy to stand corrected if someone can point me in the right direction for Stargate footage.

You may now stand corrected.  Several threads with video links in this forum.

Ok let me just say that I am looking forward to both games in the thread title.  However I do think people go on about the lack of video footage in Darkfall but just across the pond Stargate which has a large following has not released much besides a one minute clip.  Granted there are video podcasts but before we start slamming any MMO about lack of in-game footage we should really compare it to every other game in development.

I am happy to stand corrected if someone can point me in the right direction for Stargate footage.

Darkfall has been in development for 7+ years.. now tell me  why we dont have a reason to bash it for not having in-game clips, SGW already has one
