    I haven't seen any sites mention it, so I figure it wasn't there.

    I didn't see any of it yet, but it did say on the PAX schedule that there was a Final Fantasy booth or whatever at some point, and that it featured FFXIV:ARR. But whether the game was playable there or not is another question.

    FFXIV:ARR was at PAX east, I don't believe they had a booth, or if they did i must have missed it. They did have a 1 hour panel where they talked about the game and gave everyone beta keys which is supposed to start in a week's time. I'm new to final fantasy so i can't say much about it other than that it seemed like a fun game and the fans attending were exicited. I will give it a try once the beta comes out.

    My only issue with wildstar is...do they really have everything they say they do in the game at launch. from what I'm hearing ( and this isn't anyone in beta so just runor ) they wont.

    If they pull that the game will go from awesome looking to total fail in my eyes.

    Sounds about right. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

    that would be upsetting, if they don't deliver everything they promised. In their panel someone asked them why their game would succeed where other failed, their response to that was that a lot of games fail because they come out unfunished, and that their goal was to not do that. I'm looking foraward to wildstar, their comedy fits me, and the game looks awesome.

    This is an asian game. I haven't researched about it, but I don't think it even will come in english.

    I believe you're thinking about The War Z screwing their fan(boys) over. DayZ hasn't done anything to screw theirs.

    Pretty amusing when the most innovative game has a picture that could easily be mistaken for a wow screenshot complete with exclamation mark over head quest giver. Innovation indeed.

    Neverwinter was considered best in show last year, and most anticipated now?  That makes me quite worried for this year's best, TESO.  I've been playing the Neverwinter betas.  DnD choices at present are extremely limited.  It's not an awful game, but it's very linear for a mmo, grouping is badly managed (not preserving instances upon area transition) the score is meh, outdoor graphics are nothing special and there are too many of the tired old 'kill x mobs/fetch x items' quests.  It's passable for a f2p, but then there are a lot of very poor f2p games around.

    Wildstar does have a lot of innovation... showing a picture of "Hey, let's redo the World of Warcraft Barrens Zone" probably wasn't the best idea of showing the game's innovation.

    The Repopulation was, but when I went to the booth on Saturday, I could barely get the Dev to even show me the character creator nevermind anything else.

    You did not play my foundry quest "Maiden in the Moon"? It was completely non-linear, lot of choices and youchose what you play.

    The reason official quests are linear because MMO players want linear games. But with foundry you can make extremely nonlinear quests like a snap.

    Regarding graphics, cryptic games are very bad in detecting optimal settings. Graphics are decent otherwise, you have to check under your hood.

    The skin tone color used for characters are a bit bright like cartoons though.

    Most innovative? hmm

    Wildstar seems to take on classic MMORPG features

    while ESO does 4 player groups, no raids, build your class however you like, 3 sided Realm vs realm, one giant server, and finally makes a good AI. This time the NPCs will really work together. Not just the scripted ones.

    What innovations did wildstar do?

     
  • RogoshRogosh Member UncommonPosts: 208
    Wildstar has innovations in Housing, warplots, combat and the path system to name a few.

     Wait, so if a game does 3 player groups that makes it innovative? No. No raids? not the first MMO without them. Build your class however you want? Nope, TSW and even Asherons Call did that 15 years ago. 3 sided RvR, old and outdated. Giant server except when you count those instances, erm, I mean campaigns which actually places people on different servers... Good AI? Really? have you SEEN IT YET? No...and THAT is why its not the most innovative, because it isnt.

  • furbansfurbans Member UncommonPosts: 968

    The only reason why Neverwinter is the most anticipated is because, like BW with SWTOR, they are relying on a renowned IP to carry out their sales.  I've done all the betas and Neverwitner I forsee many catering to because its D&D, FR, and its the new shiney but many will leave quickly.  I was actually yawning in their beta.  Neverwinter will have a niche crowd like STO but certainly not an all this or that game.  I like all my guildmates that tries Neverwitner will be sticking to DDO with Neverwinter as a distraction now n then.  When Wildstar or ESO hits the scene expect the exudos.

    Most anticipated any yet its ranked pretty low on the hype meter here...

    Most, if not all, of the things you listed from ESO aren't innovations.  I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

    okay, if one mmorpg did them 15 years ago, its not innovative, even though the 5000 mmorpgs that came after did not do them?
