20 games in one and holy downgrade.

Still interesting at the very least.

 

[SJRB]

Thought this was a mosou at first, then an MMORPG. But is it a singleplayer RPG? I'm still not sure.

Insane video. An endless barrage or random gameplay mechanics. When he pole-vaulted over that fence I actually said WHAT THE FUCK.

 

[DigitalScars]

Elder Scrolls: The Witchers Creed and a dash of prototype for good measure.

They maybe should have decided on one game to make and stick with it.

 

[Husky]

WHAT
This game looks fucking astounding, holy shit. I can't wait to play this.

More like Elder Scrolls Of War Creed

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hmm... seems a bit familiar .

 

[ahtlas7]

keeping the bullshot alive in 2023.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Lookin good! A little overwhelming

 

[The Cockatrice]

Vaporware

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Everything everywhere all at once.
Wtf why do we have Buddha in medieval world lol.

 

[gela94]

This looks pretty amazing but so much stuff is going on, I'm sceptical if they can pull all these different systems off.

Vaporware

Yeah, I'm somewhat expecting it's going to collapse under its own weight.

 

[StueyDuck]

That is the fakest ass game I've ever seen.

The biggest tell is the dragon crashing into the arena and having all the dynamic destruction to the environment

But almost all that trailer is bullshittery..

Classic Korea jank

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Hmm... seems a bit familiar .

I know right, exactly reminds me of when I fell through the ground in Cyberpunk 2077 on launch day.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looks interesting but perhaps too ambitious for it's own good. It's also not clear what exactly the game is, MMO was the original intent afaik in which case I have zero interest. Offline single player RPG? Now you've got my attention.

 

[Kumomeme]

is that camera shake or stutter? both is bad.

its like it trying to do everything at once. the scope is too ambitious. gonna held back my breath until it actually release.

 

[GymWolf]

It also has some things from rdr2 aswell...

 

[tusharngf]

this is the best game trailer in the show !

 

[ADiTAR]

The Legend of Witcher: Tears of Assassins

 

[Xtib81]

A bit all over the place but it looks quite amazing.

 

[Ginzeen]

Hopefully it's a real rpg and not another action rpg. And hopefully this game comes out.

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully it's a real rpg and not another action rpg. And hopefully this game comes out.

It clearly look like an action rpg to me.

 

[Roufianos]

If the game is as good as this trailer suggests, which I doubt, it will be the greatest thing mankind has ever achieved.

 

[Cyborg]

Game of the show.....the bar is set for the developer ( Im a afraid a bit to high)

 

[EnzoArt]

what?

 

[PonyStation4]

Hmm... seems a bit familiar .

Xenoblade 2?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Xenoblade 2?

Offtopic, but have you considered changing your name to PonyStation5?

 

[Gaelyon]

Crimson Desert.

CRIMSON DESERT !

CCRRRRIMMMSONN DEEESERTTT !!!

Krim's son dee see hurt !

Crimson Desert.

This trailer is so packed and compile Zelda, Assassin Creed, Elden Ring and Dragon Dogma with stunning graphics and animations. We'll see but what a trailer. I'm in !

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Isn't this the ppl that made black desert. Heck some of the towns look the same. If you play black desert. This look pretty believable. Look like they took there black dessert engine and say, let's make a badass single player game of it

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Wow can't wait, I loved BDO and its combat. Just hope they have figured out how to smooth the insane NPC popin.

 

[cireza]

You can drift and boost on your horse. Wow. Someone should put some Eurobeat music on top of this trailer.

 

[bbeach123]

This is as real as the first FF15 trailer on "next-gen" console .

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

If I've learned anything as a gamer it's that games with trailers like this that have insane graphics with that specific camera a shake, it'll never get released. These things are always just show.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Yes this is not gonna make it to the game, especially if it releases on Series S. Even otherwise, there is nothing concrete about this game and Pearl Abyss has been known to show bullshot trailers. Case in point, DokeV.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

By the way, the gameplay was probably recorded on a very high end PC with an RTX 4090. Curious how it looks and runs on consoles as it's coming on them as well.

Here's a screenshot from wikipedia with which platforms the game will release on.

 

[Terenty]

The ultimate trend chaser: the game

 

[Tams]

Oh look, another South Korean game that looks good, but promises the Moon.

And like many of them, the character models look... slightly off.

Elder Scrolls: The Witchers Creed and a dash of prototype for good measure.

They maybe should have decided on one game to make and stick with it.

You forgot Just Cause and Zelda.

 

[Zheph]

They already have a game out since a few years which has a lot of the features shown there btw...

 

[GymWolf]

You forgot Just Cause and Zelda.

And rdr2.

 

[KiteGr]

Looks to good to be true...
Did they show any monster climbing like Dragon's Dogma?

 

[Lux R7]

Looks to good to be true...
Did they show any monster climbing like Dragon's Dogma?

yep.

it looks amazing, let's see if they deliver with this, i hope so

 

[Cherrypepsi]

Somehow this was the coolest game shown in the whole presentation. Hope they deliver.

 

[peish]

looks fake as hell

expecting massive downgrades and performance issues.

they even memed the giant enemy crab, hit it for maximum damage. for this alone, im hoping it's real gameplay...

 

[Ammogeddon]

"So what game influenced you when making Crimson Desert?"

"Yes"

 

[Nankatsu]

Hey look, it's Zelda: Tears of Kingdom, but for adults.

 

[Sybrix]

Imitation is the sincerest form of plagiarism.

 

[Flutta]

Game looks cool. Hope it's real

 

[Noxxera]

Yeah this game suddenly skyrocketed top of my upcoming games radar after seeing the trailer. Mix och The Witcher, Red Dead Redemption and Tears of the Kingdom. Looks too fkin good to be true. Something must be off about it. But if it does indeed live up to the trailer I'm definitely gonna try playing it assuming its a singleplayer game. No idea, first I thought it was some online MMO.

Dont get me wrong, the haters saying its copy paste etc can fuck right off. Plenty of AAA titles copy each others but is there any outcry over that?! NOPE! Its only the less known developers getting called shit for "plagiarising" or whatever shit you come up with.

 

[Winter John]

Having every game that ever existed rolled into one is a pretty neat idea
