Interview Elveon interview at CVG

<a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com>CVG</a> has posted an <a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=148451>interview</a> with <a href=http://www.elveon.com/>Elveon</a> developers. Elveon, in case you are curious, is an "elvish action epic" RPG thingy, that promises "novel action gameplay with cinematic duel fights" and "ground-breaking visual presentation". Of course!
<br>
<br>
An overview of the interview:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Our game and our fantasy universe depict an ancient era where the Elves still are a cunning and dynamic race on their rise to power, with great deeds not the fairy-like fading culture that is known from most other fantasy stories.
<br>
...
<br>
The story describes the journey of an Elvish elite warrior, who follows the path of a legend that leads him on the trail of an ancient Elvish king who attempted to find and claim the rumoured paradise and centre of power of the world - the city of Nimathar and the tower of the Gods Starspear - and claim it for the Elves to lead them in a new era of greatness. Our hero follows the trail of this ancient king and, to be able to fulfil the task the king has failed at, he must become more than any Elvish elite fighter before him.
<br>
...
<br>
There will be many opponents, all kinds of Elves coming from different cultures and presenting very different doctrines in close- and ranged-combat, monsters, demons and supernatural and divine opponents.
<br>
...
<br>
In Elveon we have four different combat classes - bow, spear, sword and daggers. Each class has his advantages and disadvantages. At specific points in the game, the player will interact with divine avatars that will give him major character upgrades and new combat actions in their area.
<br>
...
<br>
The game will take place in levels, but the story covers a millennia-old ancient Elvish legend and will be told in a non-linear way - so that you will have the opportunity to see some levels both in 'present' time and in the past - we want to give the world a very mythical dream-like look and feel, so that the player will feel like he is really walking in an ancient heroic legend. There will be multiple possible ways, endings and answers in Elveon. And you wont know it all unless you try more than once. The gameplay and the character development system will also encourage replayability.
<br>
...
<br>
With many optional quests, the gameplay will definitely also depend on the player - at the current stadium of the developmental period we are locating a game play time of approximately 15-20 hours for the action-only player, going up to around 25-30 hours for the investigative RPG fan.</blockquote>Investigative RPG fan? That's a new one.

I hate Elves.

 

"Our game and our fantasy universe depict an ancient era where the Elves..."

Didn't read the rest.

One interesting analisis the word Elvish is repeated +/- 7 times. The word Elves is repeated two times and is very similar to Elvis. Coincidence? I don't think so.

 

Elven Knight Apocalypse.

 

I really, really hate elves.

 

I do like the bit about not being able to see it all in one go. But on the other hand, elves. C'mon, put some bloody effort in designing a game concept, please!

Though, elves always sell. They are the cool.

 

They're bum bandits.

 

So will this game have Drizz't?

 

wat r drizzts im gonna be legolals

 

thought you didn't read the rest.

 

I don't mind elves, and it could be a cool action game, but what's RPG about it?

 

It has elves.

 

elves are by definition better than regular old humans so I don't see why you guys are not jumping at the opportunity to play as one

 

Probably the classes, xp and levels :twisted: . From the E3 trailer I got the feeling it's a fantasy fighting game in the same vein of severance : blade of darkness.

 

Hey, it even has an "arcade mode", so obviously this is a next-gen RPG.

 

The most important thing is will it have HEAVY UBER STEEL THONG ARMOR and, finaly will it have YOUNG ELVEN MAIDEN BOOBZ!!!

 

This is a fantasy action rail-shooter with combat upgrades, not an RPG...something along the lines of Dark Messiah.

 

Ugh elves, and i imagine it's another game where there's loads of fancy blade weaving and sword twiddling rather than "Arrrrrrgh! HEADCRACK!" or "Aaaaaargh! SHIELD SMASH!"

 

PC DVD and Xbox 360 ...

I do like this:

I like Elvis. A game concerning warring races of Elvis I'd buy in a second, rail shooter or no.

 

Do we get to command this galleon?

 

I must say the idea of setting the game before the elves started whining is a good idea.

Making a game which contains elves is not.

 

Maybe it'll be Silmarillion style 'Elves'.

And why the fuck did they give Legolas pointy ears in the movie?

 

I've seen a tech demo for this several times in a computer shop and I can say that, considering the emphasis on graphics and fighting, it sure looks shit.

 

I think the Fat Elvi would beat the Skinny Elvi.
