Check out the mage and assassin video.. not too bad to say the least.

The warrior vid is pretty cool as well.

Been following the game since they announced it and it looks terrific, especially the sword fighting. Gonna grab this for the PC when it come out.

Yea the fighting in this game is much better executed than the fighting in oblivion, but I still love oblivion of course :)

Game looks fantastic--impressions from the MP beta were iffy--but whatever, it's beta..that's why there's still an NDA :)

I think it may be a bit more then a sleeper though, especially on PC..this could end up being a big hit..the franchise has a lot of left over potential, and Heroes of Might and Magic V turned out fantastic.

Looks like some of the best melee combat in first person I've seen, ever.

I don't think it's fair to compare this game to Oblivion though...Oblivion is a huge open ended RPG and this is a linear action game.

Ahh okay thanks for the heads up thought this one was an open ended game like Oblivion.

In one of the developer walk through videos on gametrailers.com the guy refers to it as an action game..I'm not 100% it will be strictly linear but that's what I'm expecting. Should be a much SHORTER game than Oblivion too..but I still think it has a lot of potential to be very fun..it will include a deathmatch mode for mp as well.

Could be the best multiplayer melee fighter like ever.

Aside from that rope-arrow, everything about that game looks dull and uninspired.

Theres always one person who hates everything.

2006-07-10 05:00:07

It's true: I hate all uninspired games.

2006-07-10 15:33:40

Your mad!!!

have you ever seen a first person fantasy game before ever?!??

2006-07-10 21:01:15 In reply to Sheps (2006-07-10 15:33:40)

Yes.

But he's still nuts..the game looks great. Unless bitching melee combat is somehow, uninspired..I just don't see it.

(ps. Hexxen/Heretic, action--Elderscrolls/Might&Magic, rpg..etc)
