Why hold back BETA? (Vid link to footage of game), Why does JaGEx hold back the BETA even if their full game is not done? |

QUOTE (Ampi @ Nov 1 2009, 10:44 PM)  Is this that trailer that was leaked a week ago?
Or is this a new video I never heard of, in which case, can someone send me a link that works? (Preferably a download) Pretty sure it's the one from a week ago, otherwise we'd have an entire thread dedicated to it with Ren having 20 posts and all sorts of other speculation going on.

It's the same video with a changed audio track. Jagex is pretty determined to stop a video that is now viral.

Damn that looks amazing. I eat my words and take back every slag I ever made against this game. I can't wait  It's good to go away for a while and to come back to this surprise. I just got a new computer so I'm hoping they release the beta soon.

That's a first, everyone else thinks it looks like Runescape in Space.

Hey there's nothing wrong with yellow text, green health bars, click and go movement, and the runescape battle system  .

Hence the name change, etc. Yea, I think using the same assets or just changing the colors a little isn't going to make people think "this isn't RuneScape in space." I understand that the gameplay could be a lot different but you still have parts which are the defining elements of RuneScape. I'm thinking that they changed it by now and have either a different method or using spats that are unique to MechScape. Actually, I hope they do away with health bars and instead show that the enemy is getting hurt or damaged. That was you have an appropriate guess how much damage to do left. Taking solid numbers out more and more would help to feel like it is less of a grind along with removing the need to grind to begin with.

I want to see enemy vehicles on Fire... Smoking... Ready to Explode... etc to figure out how hurt it is... The style of attacks by fleshy creatures... so forth.

I'm sorry, but if that was anything like the real game, I'd be horribly disappointed, and I can personally see why Jagex scrapped it. That is literally RuneScape in space, half of the video just looks like an edited Al Kharid and half like the passageway leading up to the fight caves. If you ask me, I'd say that video is fake, but yeah, if it is a leaked trailer, again I can see why Jagex scrapped it.
4 words came to mind: control C, control V

QUOTE (TechnoBulldog @ Nov 7 2009, 03:50 AM)  I do have a copy of the high quality video downloaded if it is needed, but I don't think it will be. I don't really want a beta at this point, although I would absolutely love some screenshots. Instead, I just want another game to play until Stellar Dawn comes out. I agree slightly on the pont of a game until they finish but to be honest the beta is never gonna be the finished game. It's not like we're asking them to release the whole game now, just the beta. For everybodys info that was made in feb 2008 so really the progress upon it should be massive. If the game was playable then at a runescape level of gameplay it should be far more advanced than runescape at the moment. Couple of things I would not like to see from runescape: - Click and go. Gets boring. I need to be able to move using the keyboard yet I wish to be able to use the qwerty keys without clicking a tab. Maybe using the alt keys? Maybe the mouse moves the screen and the arrow keys move you?
- Boring click and hit combat.
- Wierd fun stuff like frog masks and flowers etc.
- One dimensional travel without jumps etc.
- Having to click stairs rather than just walk up them.

I think it'd be best to assume that right now it is the same, just with "Stellar Dawn HD(which is far from HD)"... aka RuneScape in space. Changing the name will not change that.

4 words came to mind: control C, control V MMG (Plexus) confirmed that that video was authentic, and was made to show the team in February 2008.

I said assume the CURRENT VERSION is basically RuneScape HD in space. PS: I don't care what MMG "says". Jagex was saying before the vid was leaked that it will be "awesome" and "not RuneScape in space." Obviously that was false...
