Multiplat Crimson Desert

[eaglespremiers]

With the Skyrim sequel being way off and CD Projekt Red imploding over the Cyberpunk backlash this game from developer Pearl Abyss could really scratch that fantasy RPG itch for me. Of course, there's much water under the bridge of an actual release from this title, however, it really does appear to tick a lot of stylistic boxes. Weird name though.

Looks interesting. Will keep an eye on this.

Okay I'm interested, kind of looks like Skyrim with Assassins Creed type combat.

Also did I see a power slam, a gorilla press, neckbreaker and an RKO? Is the guy also a pro wrestler?

Saw this not long ago, feels like a game that will be seriously downgraded once released. Almost looks too good to be true.

Looks alright I'll keep an eye on it...

There's that feeling about it.
Gotta temper my expectations despite this ticking a lot of boxes in principle.

New trailer at Gamescom makes it looks like it has tons of different mechanics. Climbing from AC, climbing monsters from Dragon's Dogma, blowing up towers, stealing vehicles like GTA, weird flying, pole voting, holding and taming animals, beast races, hot air ballons, fishing, sky diving through dimensions all while in a fantasy open world witcher 3 type setting?

The devs must have been like let's just take a little bit from everything and make a cake with it.



Me watching as a saw more and more of the trailer:

But would be pretty staggering if all of that actually made it to the final release,and manages more than 15 fps!

What the....?

Looks interesting to say the least.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Looking pretty good.
Although it has to be said that for a game called Crimson Desert it has scarce deserts in that trailer.

One of the Youtubers I watch for BG3 and Elden Ring content posted this video today with a run down of what we know so far:

Still looks too good to be true at this point.

Please don't disappoint

Looks pretty insane

 

[AFDogs]

Do we finally have a Witcher 3 style game that could live up to it? Looks really good.

 

[Sixpence]

Looks good. Hope they turn down how loud the footsteps are though. They seem obnoxiously loud in comparison to everything else!

I hope its side quests have the variety and depth that W3 had. Every one felt different and wasn't just a fetch quest or kill x. Some had you racing, some had you rescuing goats. Some just had you talking down dwarfs from jumping off a roof. Looking at the insane number of mechanics this game has, the potential is there.

Some boss fights they showed from a couple weeks back

I love the WWE moves

 

[pantskyle]

Liking what I am seeing.

A good breakdown from a Youtuber I do enjoy (and Luke Stephens typically takes a sceptical approach to his early reviews as her his video titles):

For what it's worth loving the Witcher 3 elements adopted in this most recent footage/play through.

Another good video more on the exploration and questing provided by Fextralife:

Beautiful

 

[AFDogs]

Hope it's a banger.

The map is said to be twice the size of Skyrim's.

Das big.

This continues to look amazing
