So…what do you do in this game? We’ve seen movement and very basic NPC interactions. Building entire or part of buildings automatically. But that’s it. They mostly just showed off pretty, but almost entirely empty landscapes.
They are also doubling down on procedural generation. I hope they learned from NMS that procedural generation can be useful but only if there are interesting things to do that get generated. If you generated the same set of boring landmasses, there’s no point. I saw nothing in this trailer remotely new.
Also their trailer’s text was hot garbage. “A fantasy earth”. No shit, really? No one would have got that from the fucking dragons.
Will it? We didn’t see any combat, nor even complex building that both titles have. I guess I really just hate these kind of trailers that show next to nothing about the actual game. All it does is raise questions and annoy me.
What’s the threshold for being able to suggest that it looks like it has potential? That it looks like there’s a possibility that there might be something good there, I guess we’ll keep an eye on this? Because that’s what “looks promising” means. One trailer of gameplay footage? An hour of unedited gameplay? Something in between? Looks promising to me.
I mean, I’d say a credible example of gameplay would be a fair minimum. Doesn’t have to be a trailer or anything, just seeing that the gameplay exists, looks (even subjectively) like it could evolve into something fun, and is more than just a flashy scripted trailer to collect preorders.
Something that’s not just walking around from place to place and occasionally hopping on the back of a flying creature. Some combat, maybe some dialog and how a quest/mission works in the game.
As it stands right now, and as someone else put it, it looks like a cross between Valheim and ARK. I just can’t get hyped for something like this when I’ve played plenty of other extremely similar games tons of times before.
I mean, my point was more their last “gameplay trailer” was actually a scripted cinematic with many of the features still not implemented to this day. If everything shown here is actual gameplay from the same game they plan to sell,
then yeah, I can see the potential.

Looks like it will be a mix of Valheim and ARK. So yeah…

My favorite are all the comments saying “lOoKs PrOmIsInG!”
My friend, we’ve seen literally one trailer and that’s it.
And that trailer looked pretty promising…so what’s your take here? Or do you just hate optimists, in general? Because that’s okay, too!

You said it better than I could have.
