Might and Magic Dark Messiah

[Section8]

Okay, I don't know how long these have been around, but there are three teaser videos on the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic website. I doubt it's going to be remotely RPG-ish., but it's looking pretty damn cool for a fantasy FPS.

If any of the Bethesda devs still actually read the Codex, I wouldn't click that link, it will only make you depressed.

Backstabbing and throwing knives?

:mrgreen:

 

[Screaming_life]

Yeah very cool vids... they're really advancing the immersive FPP experience. Swords that actually stick in FTW! Puts oblivion's combat to shame really.

 

[Whipporowill]

Yeah, I've seen those. Looks very promising - and above all, the game seem to not be pretending it is not what it isn't.

So much for Oblivion's "visceral" combat. Now that I have seen gameplay videos of both games it looks like Arcane Studios managed to do a far better job on the sword and shield combat than the helplessly swinging enemies (and protagonist) of Oblivion.

I hope someone shows the videos to the guys over at the TES forums, I'd really like to hear their justification for DM's combat looking far more interesting.

Hey. I was busy writing a job application so I didn't put too much tought into it - apparently...

At least you seem to have your priorities in a decent order

Carry on.

That game is going to rock. It's pure graphical whoredom, but who cares? The stab-enemy-then-kick-'em-off maneuver looks great. The magic looks fantastic. The dragon kicks ass, and the overall look is drool-worthy. I'm pre-ordering this baby.

But it doesn't have Patrik Stewart.

However much I grieve the death of MM series(which happened after MM7), I admit that Dark Messiah is going to be a nice fantasy FPS and it does well what it focuses on.
