Breaking News: G4's gameplay footage of Land of the Dead

[Avien]

Over at G4, a short video just went up including an interview with Jeff and Paul as well as gameplay footage of Land of the Dead. Be sure to check it out!

Where at? I tried multiple searches and found news from 2007......

[Avien]

It's right on the frontpage, but I put a more specific link now.

sweet video! loving the style of the new zones, im a sucker for egyptian style stuff. that big statue boss looks sweet

[Gerd]

looking good.

The way you have to fight that huge boss is amazing. First time I've seen something like this in an MMO. If War can create more dungeons like this for end-game, they may actually get good comments on their end-game content.

it looks fine, now lets do reality check and wonder how many bugs it will have...

[Biffd]

Wow I love XPlay but Sessler came off looking like a jerk in the second video:

Sessler: "What was your biggest surprise?"
Hickman: "Probably that we've had 450 people battling at once"
Sessler: "Wow...50...well we gotta go"

But I agree; the footage looks awesome. Hopefully it won't be too buggy and will draw players back in. Without a doubt, though, Ill be there.

Very cool art in that area, which doesn't surprise me. The artists working on this game have shown great talent in many of the game's locations.

Not sure how its laughable, had a few fights with 300+ people in them and those werent everyone in t4 rvr either, 450 as a peak number seen seems about right to me.

What's laughable is that they tell "450" and sassler responds "oh, 50!"

Anyway the new area looks beyond awesome, for now. Lost vale looks great, but this is far beyond that.

[Kazamxi]

This does look fantastic.

But we all have to remember how great the city sieges looked before the game launched. Lets hope they have learned that gameplay is more important than hype. Good game play will keep players hype only means they come and leave very fast.

The lower number is probably far closer to reality.

I most definitely wouldn't say so. On Volkmar we see battles with over 300 players quite often. 450, now that's a little more rare (and in fact he was talking about the biggest they had, not what they had regilarly), but 300+ is easily reachable during primetime.
