Blade & Soul

No hype for this game?

I checked out the gameplay video and it's . . . well, I dislike the oriental graphics, but . . . I was pretty shocked.

 

Combat almost looks like Street Fighter/Virtual Fighter/Soul Cal, looks like a ragdoll physics engine, and characters actually move their enemies rather than just strike them.

Gaming is serious business.

    I'd better check it out, thanks. I'll let you know my opinion later.

    I hadn't even heard of this game until I read Teala's blog on the home page here today (great read btw) and I am putting this one at the top of my "to do" list.

    lol i don't mean to be a jackass but I didn't know people still used the word "oriental".  I personally love the Asian theme and artwork.  But that's just me :)

    2010 release in Korea, and considering that Aion is now Q4 NA & EU release, that means Blade & Soul could be a 2011 release in NA & EU.

    I have my doubts if B&S will eb released outside Asia at all... This because the game is 100% based on Asian stories / mythology, and those things are the ones that won't go far in the US and Europe.

    2nd reason is this:

    There's no mention about B&S at all in the timeline. Only L3, but we know that that one is kinda dead by now... It might be that NCsoft will replace L3 for B&S. And if that'll be the case, we can add an other year for B&S to be released in the US ? Europe (if it'll come our way in the 1st place).

    About B&S itself... I think that trailer is awesome. Best of all, the movie includes in-game footage (see where the female runs through the case and you see the pointer)...

    There are two unannounced projects on that slide for the Seoul studio and I thought Carbine had been cancelled?

    Guild Wars 2 is definitely delayed, L3 is being remade from scratch since the code theft, and TR is closing. That must be an ancient slide?

    Glad you found something to look forward to. This is definitely not my cup of tea. Didn't care for the combat at all. Just not what I'm looking for in my MMORPG.

    @bobfish

    The slide is of 2007-2008, so pretty old indeed. Didn't find a new one yet 

    @nadia

    Thanks for the new slide... I couldn't find it last time I checked...

     

    If does show that B&S is schedualed for early 2010, but unlike Aion, is has no region attached to it. My guess is that it'll be Asia (or even Korea) only
