The New Runescape Trailer - More then meets the eye?

Featured Replies

Ok, so I was watching through the latest Runescape Trailer by Jagex when I noticed a few interesting things.

 

Some things I have seen posted, some have not been posted as far as I know.

 

 

 

Here is the video for those who havent seen it or want to see it again:

 

 

 

 

Here are the interesting things I noticed in the video:

 

 

 

All the places where ONE player was attacked while holding a shield, they slightly ducked their head behind the shield.

 

Examples = 0:19, 0:21, 0:35.

The Lumbridge swamp has had a graphic rework. People think this might happen at the same time as Zanaris gets updated.

 

Examples = 0:24.

Swimming without diving gear? This could be just a mistake by Jagex where they forgot to put it on their character when they recorded the clip.

 

Examples = 0:29.

Thats all I got from that trailer.

 

What do you think of these things? Can you find anything else in the trailer which looks different or out of place?

That's some very interesting stuff there. :thumbup:

the area he's swimming in is new?

I heard the ducking emote is the new defensive emote that is due to come out.

Nemo vir est qui mundum non reddat meliorem..

The diving thing seems like he is wearing a sucba-dive helmet and the part where the guy is fighting Jad its fighting style looks different.

Nope, that's part of a quest. Great Brain Robbery I think.

Its meant to attract new players, not the old ones.

 

So Im pretty sure they tweaked some things, and made it look enticing. Or maybe it is loaded with spoilers for the rest of it while still doing the aforementioned.

Wow, that sure made the game look exciting :P

You use the ducking animation if you're wielding a bow, maybe they got mixed up? :?

Transformers!!!

 

 

 

RS isn't "More then meets the eye"

 

 

 

THAT

 

IS TRANSFORMERS

 

 

 

OMG

 

 

 

But still, Maybe the lumby change is just it in HD?

We're always working on new animations and graphical improvements. Expect a blog on the subject in the coming months -RSDev

 

 

 

The new shield pose is probably improved combat animations that they will release soon.

 

 

 

The Lumbridge Swamps look pretty good with the graphic improvement, it probably will be released at the same time as the Zanaris graphic improvement, which will hopefully be soon. (I'm anxious for the Fairy Tale Quest Ending that is going to come with it.)

 

 

 

Not sure about the lack of diving gear though. Perhaps we will be seeing a new underwater quest soon? Or it might have just been a Jagex mistake like you said.

 

 

 

Also at 30 seconds there is a green dragon in the sky that looks like it's Elvarg but in the sky. Perhaps a new quest relating to Dragon Slayer?

Oh wow, I hate everything -.-

Death kinda scares me.

your obsession with phallic objects shows quite clearly in your artworks.

Ffs, someone put this in their sig.

Actually, that new lumbridge swamp looks alot like the swampy area south-east of the Agility pyramid. So maybe we won't be getting a graphic update in the swamp...

 

 

 

EDIT: Actually, nevermind. I can see the Zanaris shack on the minimap in that picture. I guess they're going to make the two swamps alike, then.

umm...correct me if i am wrong, but wasn't there a cutscene where they showed a dragon destroying an island during the quest Dragon Slayer? i think they where showing Elvarg destroying Crandor before, or that was while we where on the boat to Crandor.

 

 

 

EDIT: i just watched the trailer again and that IS DEFINITLY Elvarg. that was when we went on the Lady Lumbridge with that cabin boy and he got hit by one of Elvarg's fireballs.

^ Hmm you might be right. I know they updated a lot of quests over the years so perhaps it has changed since I have done it.

 

 

 

Either that or I'm just forgetful.

 

Yeah, they changed it. The first time I did it there were no fancy cutscenes, but I did it on my "Pure" and saw that.

Yes, Elvarg was definitely killed. :P The trailer looks pretty sweet though! :D

The only thing I find weird is why they'd put the crap looking Elvarg Attack cutscene in instead of me... (or something better, which I doubt there is) :lol:

 

 

 

Otherwise, nice find/s (depending on how many have been found before) I hope they do update Lumbridge Swamp to that, looks good. :thumbup:
