Crowfall Videos & quick intro

[JamesGoblin]

What's it all about? Well, Crowfall is upcoming PvP MMORPG with (as I type this) 150 000+ registered accounts, $10M of budget and counting - not bad for a Kickstarter from March '15. Procedural terrain generation by players, building & voxel destruction, strong survival/RTS feel... It is described by developers as "Game of Thrones meets EVE online", and IMO good quick intro is it's IGN Wiki.

It will be buy to play, soft launch is set to "summer 2017" (frankly, it'll be later), graphics are low poly / cartoony in order to enable massive battles with hundreds of players and there will be open beta i.e. free tests. Here is couple early player made videos:

...then Druid with some explanations:

...and some siege tests with physics & voxel destruction:

IF they achieve to make it work with the current engine. Having hundreds of players + combat pets + NPCs + all the VFX and destruction in the same battle with decent performance would be extremely surprising imo.

Maybe the optimization will help a lot, but I'd say if we can get ~150 players in a single battle it would already be an incredible achievement.

Big PvP battles are coming... soon... soonish. Can't wait to see how many players my laptop can render before it catches on fire.
