Hmmmm....how will I know someone is being worked to death and tracked by dystopian implants to maximize efficiency if I'm not getting a physical good shipped to me in less than ten hours? Also, it will be bad and I bet it will have like prime crossover promotions

Hey guys, earn 500 bits for every hour you stream of our game, plus 10 additional bits for every pvp, or boss kill!

it's a good sign already that it's being funded by bezo$bux instead of kickstarter so maybe it has some potential

I've been playing the super early pre-alpha, can't really talk about it but there's not a lot to talk about either. I like the setting, and that people can work together to build settlements, that part reminds me of Star Wars Galaxies.

I'm not really sure what to make of this because it's being made by amazon.

They are working on a couple games right now, plus their own game engine that they are licensing out to other companies. The most popular game using their engine is Star Citizen.

I think the only thing that makes me hopeful about this game is they are saying the sandbox stuff, but they aren't some 90s dev posting on kickstarter asking for money. They at least have a budget and presumably, a corporate structure above them that will want to see some work being done instead of squandering all the kickstarter bucks on nothing

The setting makes no sense to me. Let's make everything realistic as gently caress to the 17th century with zero fantasy elements but let's add magic for no reason!

So he isn't in charge of any specific games (thank god).

It seems to be an amalgamation of the ideas floating around from lots of mmo. -Sandbox -Unlimited customization, but you can also make a tank / healer / dps. -Focus on pvp, large guild v guild and fights over castles. -Mob AI is clever. -Pictures of middle ages fights in fields/forests. -The world is huge For me, I just dont see anything to be really excited about.

"New World is focusing on a couple of key aspects that will set it apart from the current mainstream MMORPG stock. First of all, there are no classes. The game supports a wide array of skills and specialisations that you are free to persue and work towards as you wish." Wow, what a novel concept for a sandbox MMO! These guys are really mixing it up.

Crytek is super butthurt that CIG changed engines and is suing them though, they need that Star Citizen crowd funded money because they declared bankruptcy and are barely staying afloat now. Unfortunately Chris Roberts spent all of Star Citizens money on cocaine.

Space Monster posted:https://wccftech.com/new-world-preview-amazon/ There is a disturbing lack of chainmail bikinis and chainmail banana hammocks in that article. How am I supposed to play an MMO if my character doesn't look like a Conan extra in fetish gear? Immersion ruined.

https://twitter.com/playnewworld/status/1034877015990517760 Looks like we're getting closer to learning more about the game / alpha access. Currently alpha access button takes you to an Amazon page to sign up for an alert when sign-ups open.

Looking forward to the alpha version. The pre-alpha has changed a ton as is. The game is improving at a rapid pace and coming into being an actual playable title.

GoGoGadget posted:I'd like to donate $10,000 so I can appear in the credits and have a collection of sword jpgs, where do I do this This is actually the only Conan/Rust/Whatever title that looks like its both learning from some mistakes and a clear vision from the onset that jacked up other survival games and has the resources it needs without infinite feature creep backer stretch goals/scammy poo poo. The success/failure of this game and the new Fallout will probably be the determining factor if other larger studios pursue the sandbox pvp genre and what the details of those games look like. The other competitive advantage I think is that Amazon loves throwing money at poo poo to win out over competition and I bet this game has some pretty high resource server hosting options when other companies say we plan on adding 1000000k player servers you have a laugh and know they are full of poo poo and its going to be some janky compromise but if its possible they have the resources to make it happen with this one. dogsupremacy fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Aug 29, 2018 |

Break the NDA and tell us everything (Tell us whatever you can, even if it's just impressions. I'm one of those hopeless, desperate pvp mmo losers who has always been disappointed, do your part as a cynical goon and build up my hopes so that they can be crushed by the reality that the type of game I want doesn't make sense.)
