New RuneScape trailer

[Dire_Wolf]

Dormado, what is your source that says Guthix banished the gods after GWD?

[Sy_Accursed]

Things to dislike;

"The gods are gone from Gielnor". That's biggest [cabbage] ever. Runescape is the ONLY game i know of with TONS of Gods. Zaros has returned, Ampakein (monkey godess) has too...and active gods; Zamorak, Saradomin and Guthix.

 

Go learn rs lore properly before you complain like a douche.

 

The gods used to walk the world and have a direct influence since they god wars they hav all been banished from the world. While they can be prayed to and offer indirect help they are NOT in the world.

Zaros has not returned, only a portal to commune with him once more.

The active gods are NOT on the world they jsut commune with followers indirectly (prayers)

The desert pantheon are demi-gods not fully fledged gods and thus don't count. While the desert people worship them they do not have power even close to the level of the real gods.

Demi-gods, still gods.

[jettrider]

Awful as an advertisement, awful as a preview, and awful as a story. I suppose the main accomplishment was doing that at all with their current resources.

[Dormado]

Wolf, everyone agree that Guthix banished them, theres no conflict bbetween any of the followers of ANY gods, discussing the fact IF the Guthixian Edicts exist. Also its one of the reasons why theres no godwars atm.

 

Also, demi-gods=/=gods.

 

Some of the mahjarrat are being called "demi-gods" in the desert.

 

Also, your wording is incorrect, The Godwars ended Because the gods were banished. Not vice versa.

[BLaSpHeMy]

Could they do that in Java?

[Dormado]

according to them, they already did. Meaning quest cutscenes will be oh-so epic, i cant wait for them.

[WhiteHorn]

I WANT THESE TREES NAO

 

Jagex delay wildy/free trade and update trees k?

[Saunamajuri]

Dormado, what is your source that says Guthix banished the gods after GWD?

Rswiki has an article on Guthix that tells just about everything about him, but if you want in-game proof, Juna can also tell you. The god wars ended in that event.

[The Observer]

If cut scenes are going to start to look like this, I would love it to be honest.

[Saxon]

I want that chick under my Christmas tree this saturday :thumbsup:

I want that chick under my Christmas tree this saturday :thumbsup:

I'd prefer her on my Christmas bed ... it's far more comfortable ... you know

I like the tralier and the graphics. Most trailers you see for games, just like this, aren't actual in-game footage. You all know that, why are you trying to bash this video? It doesn't make sense. So what if they didn't slap, in tiny print...in an area of the screen you're not going to look...."Not actual in-game footage". Who cares? It will be in-game footage, sometime in the future. Why not look forward at things to come?

"Let's make a video of how the game will look like in 10 years!"

Because this video is in no way representative of Runescape. They made a Generic Fantasy Game Cutscene and stuck the RS logo on it.

As skimpy as her armour may be -- I, personally, wouldn't mind an outfit like that one. :D

 

That said, since when can people animate or re-animate the undead? Is this a suggestion at the "Necromancy" spell book they may, hopefully introduce into the game?

I would agree with you if there was an idea for even one good spell that has anything to do with Necromancy. .__.

I posted this under suggestions a while ago ...

[DiscoShazam]

I understand that, but wouldn't it be a bit unfair to be able to just hurl revenants at people?

Don't we already have Summoning?

 

The others, I can understand.

Magic needs an update in combat spells as far as their use in PvP-type situations, too.

[Karvinen]

Made in the game engine..wow.

 

Lol at people thinking the graphics still look bad. Have you forgotten this is a browser based java written game?

 

 

Could they do that in Java?

 

For the second time: the RuneScape graphics renderer is not written in Java, but most likely in C or C++.

 

We wouldn't have the "HD" mode if Jagex used pure Java only.

Meh I'm not really sure how I feel about it :P When compared to RuneScape's graphics, this trailer looks better.. but when compared to other game trailers, the graphics are still pretty bad. But I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The graphics aren't very appealing and they could be better, but making them better would make the trailer even less representational of the actual game.

The graphics feel like they could be done by the engine though. - Especially the quality.. The only thing which I haven't seen are the animations (mainly for spells/sword) but they don't fit runescape.

 

Even WOW uses outdated graphics currently btw (In developing communities it is often cited for being popular while having outdated graphic engine). Games like dragon age are much more realistic.

[Will H]

Have some of you guys considered that this trailer might mainly be for the people already playing this game? If they really wanted to make it to draw in new players, they'd point to either the last trailer concerning Dungeoneering, with only slightly improved graphics layered over actual gameplay, or head straight into the 'Not actual gameplay footage' territory and go all out.

 

This is a trailer for people like us who want to see the future of the game, and it's looking pretty good.

 

Also, now that I've found out that this will be the future of the game: Oh my god.

The graphics in this trailer were in fact done by the game engine, but that doesn't make them representational of the game. It demonstrates the capabilities of their game engine, but the game doesn't actually look like that.

 

And I know that WoW doesn't have great graphics ;) There are games with much better graphics out there, like I think LOTRO's are pretty awesome.

LOTRO's are fantastic. <3:

If they did a trailer of the actual grinding this game has, it'd be pretty boring. 3 minutes of some guy chopping a tree.
