First Grim Dawn Gameplay Video

They may mean that the game itself is in pre-alpha, but they have polished up one area in order to produce this video.

Kind of like how an author may have one complete chapter for his book that he uses to gain interest from publishers.

yes so in other words its a false representation and a clear call for money is the point im getting at

Would play it for free ,but i wouldnt buy it.
just my opinion.

what an ignorant post

do you have any proof at all that that was a false representation of the game ?

do you have any proof at all that that its purpose was to get more money ?

why don't you stop making claims for which you know nothing about ?

look at this video for diablo 3

that video was released over 2 years ago and D3 has still not gone into beta

do you think Blizz made a false representation of D3 when they released that video ? Do you think they released it just so they could get money ?

Don't be dense.

Crate posted a video. That's ALL we know. We have no idea how far along the game is so far. Maybe they only have 1/2 of Act 1 done. Maybe they've got most of it done. Maybe they're feeling the competition from Path Of Exile, Torchlight 2 and D3 so they thought they should extend their release date and touch some things up before going into alpha.

There is absolute zero factual reason to believe that clip is from a specially polished and orchestrated area.

you really have no idea what you're talking about
really, really foolish

again, look at the D3 videos from over 2 years ago,
so much has changed since then: skills; crafting; skill trees and now their removal; resource system for the different classes (mana, spirit, fury); hell, they didn't even have all he classes back then, so yes, that D3 video was essentially a pre alpha, yet it looks very polished

it wasn't just a bunch of "place holders"

Given the fact it's pre-alpha, and given no other information one must assume it's a tech demo.

I'm not sure if the above poster even knows what a tech. demo is though.

A tech. demo?

Okay, here’s a definition: A tech demo (technology demonstration) is a prototype, rough example or an otherwise incomplete version of a product, put together with the primary purpose of showcasing the idea, performance, method or the features of the product.

However, you can't claim that the demo is misleading especially when you don't know what's going to get developed. That game isn't out yet, and obviously no one's forcing you to buy it.

The game is built of an improved version of TQs engine. Tech demo or not, it's gonna look pretty. The idea that they're falsely representing themselves is silly. It's an indie team (who mostly have day jobs at other companies) working hard on a cool looking ARPG. What's there to be cynical about?

The entire purpose of a tech. demo is not to falsely represent your game, but rather to showcase proof of concept using the technology you intend to deploy, which is exactly what they did, and it actually did look great.

Features can change later of course, but usually the core technology shown doesn't change... which will definitely be the case by using a particular engine.

Sadly pretty engines don't always mean good games. look at FF13. not saying that will be the case for this game though.

seriously not even going to waste time replying to that dork lol

what a joke of a reply
