Is it me or does this image stike you funny.

[Daniel]

Gear knight?

[StrayRogue]

Is it me or do those graphics strike anyone as shit?

[zhelas]

I do like the Thief toon.

[Back]

Gearknight? Magnatron? Summon a mortar from the land of Gear?

[Hulkein]

When is this game supposed to come out?

[zhelas]

When is this game supposed to come out?

2004 no 2006 no 2007 um maybe... Dragon Age from Bioware will probably be out before Heroes Journey. Bioware will be using the engine they bought from Simu.

[Hulkein]

I want to give it a try, it's just taking so damn long.

[Landrion]

Is it me or do those graphics strike anyone as shit?

The gearknight made my eyes tear. After that it was too blurry to say.

Yeah bad.

[zhelas]

Gearknight? Magnatron? Summon a mortar from the land of Gear?

Eh. I really didn't think they would copy everything from GS or DR. I would guess they would be along the similar notions of engineers.

[The Ponzzz]

Thought Dragon Age was using the Eclipse Engine?

[Daniel]

What the fuck is a Gear knight? seriously

[Artha]

Those graphics are definitely shit, but the graphics from the actual game aren't bad...they must've used some omega compression.

edit: Gearknight's got something to do with the lore...Gear is the name of one of the factions.

Other than what is posted on the Heroes Journey's website.

From http://www.heroshall.com/

Gearknight
Standing in the midst of a sea of enemies while they relentlessly release barrage after barrage of fury upon him, the Gearknight values protection just as much as he values powerful punches. Gearknights are the brick walls that take a non-stop beating while the weaker elements of the party keep a safe distance.

Though Warriors can stand and defend a party if needed, Gearknights have truly turned defense into a craft, perfecting and honing the skill. Gearknights also make use of few ranged abilities such as grappling hooks and mortars, useful for drawing out or drawing enemy focus. This is all that is known of the Gearknight as of now, but more information will be released soon so please check back!

[Daniel]

That's the lamest shit I have ever heard.

[Latrinsorm]

Point blank mortars would probably be pretty cool? Especially if ass-mounted?

[Skeeter]

Those graphics are fantastic! 7 years ago.

[zhelas]

Those graphics are fantastic! 7 years ago.

QFT.. They are claiming that they are delaying the game because they have a new graphics tool and they are updating everything. By the time they do that .... guess what another graphics tool.

[Daniel]

I don't understand why anyone let themselves get excited about HJ.

[Gan]

What kind of armor is the thief wearing?

I see arm/leg greives, shoulder protection, and scale leather around the torso?

[The Ponzzz]

I know where I've seen graphics like that...

THE N64!!!

[Skeeter]

Holy shit that's great. You should post that on the officials

[CrystalTears]

I'll wait to hear how it plays. If getting through levels is as tedious as it is in their other games, I'm not going to bother, no matter how nice the graphics are.

[Hulkein]

I want a MMORPG that is mainly based on battling other real players in order to gain levels/exp.

That would TOTALLY be abused. Just need to have an alt and keep killing your own. At first it's a fun idea of being able to level off other people, but unless there was nothing else to do but kill others, it wouldn't work, imo.

[Skeeter]

My understanding is Warhammer Online will incorporate this.

[Artha]

With the expansion, WoW incorporates a lot more world PvP. You don't gain exp/levels, but you can use rewards you get from doing that to buy stuff, which is the same general idea (betterment through pwn).

[Alfster]

I'm to lazy to read this thread.

And on that note, GOD DAMN ARE THOSE GRAPHICS SHIT. Simu has to start paying their "employees" or every game they have will be complete and total shit like this one.

[Numbers]

The thing with the engine they developed is that it's great for landscapes, but whatever they're using for character models is jank.

[Sean of the Thread]

Should make it like old school UO and make player characters loot able.

[Flurbins]

What a damn joke.

[Bobmuhthol]

The graphics in the game honestly aren't bad, but those character models seriously are fucking awful (although it doesn't look nearly as bad on the actual site with the background that they were meant to be over).

I take that back. The rogue model is a billion times better than the warrior model. That thing's a POS no matter what.

[Landrion]

Should make it like old school UO and make player characters loot able.

Yeah, what a fuckin joy that game was. Complete garbage game balance too.
