Finally, moving images. Alpha footage for Skyforge has now surfaced. The godly arcade MMO is being developed by the creators of Allods Online and is considered one of the biggest hopes and unknowns in the MMO market. The video shows that the game is progressing quite well.
So far, one has only heard wonderful things about Skyforge; one could almost think the game becomes alive, multiplies elevenfold, and beats Brazil 7-1: Three hundred developers are said to be involved in the game, and tips are being sought from Obsidian, the creators of KOTOR II and Fallout: New Vegas, for the western market, and the graphics are said to be simply fantastic.
Just a few weeks ago at E3, Bill Murphy from mmorpg.com was able to test a bit of the combat system and spoke of a mix between GW 2 and Tera. He particularly praised how the game felt as if you really had “power in your hands.” Fitting – after all, you play as a god. Recently, one has mainly heard somewhat abstract news about game concepts: There will be neither levels, nor will an initial class choice really be binding. But who can really imagine much of that?
Now, 15 minutes of footage from the alpha of the game has surfaced. Unfortunately in Russian, but oh well… true fans won’t mind.
