Between this year’s Game Awards and the PlayStation Experience conference, there was no shortage of exciting RPG news. Even among heavy hitters inside and outside the RPG world, what stood out most was a new game from a new studio: Dauntless, the first game by Phoenix Labs. The trailer was stunning but didn’t reveal much. We did some digging and found out how much more there is to be about than art style. Read on for our thoughts!

    If its anything like Monster Hunter Online, it'll just be another lobby game.

    You dare speak ill of MH?! I for one hope it is a more instanced online game. Combat usually benefits from the game not being set up like an MMO.

    I'm getting a Kingdoms of Amalur vibe from the art style.

    I have but never finished it.

    I also have one of those signature limited edition collections with the table top sitting in my Man Cave. Every time I look at it, I say to myself I must revisit the game. Maybe this weekend will be the day ;) but then again my wife will probably find better more boring things for us to do :(

    More like Dota 2 in 3rd person perspective for me...

    They should look to Destiny for their coop format. It is very accessible for grouping. Raiding and team pvp is big in the game. It works because they host the servers.
    So long as they don't require a load screen in and out for every. LIttle. Area.

    I like monster battles, but I bore of games that focus solely on Monsters as the enemy. I also want to fight powerful normal human sized foes as well... maybe some undead, a werewolf...
    Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War
    Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile

    This looks like a worse version of torchlight .. not a good first impression.

    I loved the art style and the fact that the characters all ran to find a common enemy not fighting each other. I am not very good at action games and I'm hoping for a support role I might excel in. Looking forward to this.

    Stylized graphics...ugh...can this die out already?!?!?!
  • OzmodanOzmodan Member EpicPosts: 9,726
    Was not very impressed with the trailer, just have to wait and see what kind of game play results from this game.  Hope it is not console only because I have yet to find a RPG that plays well on one.

    But stylized graphics are easier to handle in the long run and don't age as hard!!



    Too bad most games with stylized graphics don't get old enough to proof this point...

    I don't like the Art Style, just that put me off completely

  • derek39derek39 Member UncommonPosts: 265
    REALLY looking forward to this. Any western Monster Hunter fan should be excited for this.

    Maybe this game will get Capcom's attention...But probably not because Japan does what Japan wants...

    Hope it turns out to be as good as it sounds!

    Pheonix Labs? You guys seriously need to run this through at least a C-grade word processor before posting.
