Grim Dawn - Diablo Clone der Titan Quest Entwickler
Hallo
Kurz Infos: Name: Grin Dawn Genre: A-RPG Entwickler: Crate Entertainment (eh. Iron Lore Entertainment [Titan Quest]) Publisher: - Release: Anfang 2011 Plattformen: PC (Digital) Support:Grim Dawn - Crate Entertainment Sonstiges: Multiplayer Modus, ca. 20$
Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game intended for digital distribution on the PC. It is being developed by veterans of Iron Lore entertainment, the makers of Titan Quest. Grim Dawn is being built with Crate's own improved version of the Iron Lore engine and toolset; the same technology used to create Titan Quest. As a spiritual successor, Grim Dawn will attempt to better perfect the magical formula of exploration, character advancement, and loot collection pioneered by Diablo.
Players will be thrust into the dark, war-torn world of Cairn where a once proud empire has been brought to ruin and the human race driven to the edge of extinction. Cairn has become ground zero of an eternal war between two otherworldly powers, one seeking to use human bodies as a resource, the other intent upon destroying the human race before that can happen. This cataclysmic war has not only decimated human civilization but is warping the very fabric of reality and, in its wake, giving life to new horrors.
For humankind it is the dawn of a grim new age where iron has replaced gold as currency and the importance of salt as a weapon makes it far too valuable to waste on food. Small enclaves of human survivors exist scattered throughout the world, holed up in hidden refuges. These humans have quietly watched the warring invaders destroy one another and have become wise to the strengths and vulnerabilities of their otherworldly foes. A few survivors have begun to exhibit strange new abilities after surviving possession or exposure to the warp. These unnatural powers are feared by some but give many new hope of launching a resistance to fight the "outsiders" and reclaim what's left of their world.
* Combine any of five distinct skill classes each with multiple skill trees in which to specialize. Advance your class mastery up to 75 levels to unlock dozens of powerful skills and synergistic modifiers. New classes will be periodically released through downloadable content.
* Gameplay systems design for 200 levels of character progression, equipment, and enemies to fight makes for ridiculous amounts of replay value.
* Connect with old friends or make new allies in glorious multiplayer. Specially balanced multiplayer encounters will put your teamwork to the ultimate challenge.
* Collect blueprints that allow you to combine salvaged components into unique crafted items and then, later, use those basic crafted items with higher-tiered recipes to complete items of unprecedented badassness.
* Camera rotation enhances the three-dimensionality of the world and gameplay while levels are still designed so that players are not forced to rotate the camera.
* Refined loot system drops less junk items and ensures more consistent rewards from hero and boss monsters.
* Satisfying enemy damage and death effects with an option to enable blood and gore.
* The ability to spend money to reclaim skill and attribute points alleviates the fear and frustration of having to make early, uninformed decisions that could permanently nerf a character.
* More features are in the works and will be announced as Grim Dawn nears release.
What is Grim Dawn?
Grim Dawn is an action-RPG for the PC currently being developed by veterans of Iron Lore Entertainment, the creators of Titan Quest. The game is set in a thematically-dark fictional world loosely inspired by the Victorian Era on earth. Grim Dawn is being developed with the same tools and technology used to create Titan Quest. As a spiritual successor to Titan Quest and proud Diablo-clone, Grim Dawn will carry forward the best gameplay of this genre while bringing a few focused innovations and improvements of our own to the table.
Will Grim Dawn be based in history / mythology?
No, Grim Dawn will be set in a unique fictional world that is loosely inspired by the Victorian Era but is not meant to actually take place on Earth, mythological or otherwise. A lot of effort has gone into the development of a deep story-world with a rich history, unique characters and intriguing subplots. The setting will be “thematically” darker in terms of mood and environment but, don't worry, unlike many games set in post-apocalyptic style worlds, Grim Dawn won't be a burnt out, gray wasteland.
When is the release date?
Since we are not currently answerable to any publisher, we will work on Grim Dawn until we are satisfied that it is ready for release (or at least up until the moment that the first team member dies of starvation). That said, we are currently targeting early 2011.
Where can I buy Grim Dawn and how much will it cost?
We plan to release Grim Dawn on Steam and through other digital distribution sites for about $20. In addition to this, you can also pre-order the game now from our website and download it directly from us when it releases. By pre-ordering now, your money will help fund our development and make Grim Dawn a better game. We may also release a box-copy to be sold in stores at some point but we have not yet worked out all the details.
What is this talk of downloadable content?
When many people here the term downloadable content they are filled with fear and rage. They imagine having to charge $0.50 to their credit cards everytime they buy a new item. This is not what we imagine. This is a downloadable game, so it makes sense that when we release expansion packs, they will also be downloadable. These expansions will be similar to a normal boxed game-expansion in that they will generally contain new story elements, classes, enemies, items, and new regions of the world to explore.
Will Grim Dawn have multiplayer?
Absolutely! You will be able to group up with family and friends to take on the world of Grim Dawn just as you could in Titan Quest. In addition, we intend to release high-end multiplayer challenges especially designed and balanced for group play.
How will character classes work?
We plan to release with 5 skill classes, each containing several skill trees. Additional skill classes will be introduced through downloadable add-ons. Players will be able to combine any two skill classes to explore powerful synergies that exist between the skill trees of different classes and experience the varying gameplay styles of each class build. It will be impossible to max out all the skills from two classes, so there will be plenty of experimentation to find the best way to allocate your points. Don't worry though, if you aren't satisfied with your build, you will be able to spend money to reclaim spent skill points.
Will Grim Dawn have tons of sweet loot?
Does a bear shit in the woods?! We have made many improvements to our item drop and randomization system with far more custom-crafted magical, rare, and even unique bonuses. We have also made several improvements to the loot dropping system to ensure more consistent rewards and less junk cluttering up the screen / inventory. Last but certainly not least, we're introducing a new item crafting system based off collectible recipes and rare crafting components that drop in the world.
Noch erwähnen sollte man, dass die Entwickler, ähnlich wie die von Natural Selection 2, das Spiel privat finanzieren. Um dies zu unterstützen kann man das Spiel jetzt schon vorbestellen (In 3 Versionen zwischen ~20$ und 50$) oder spenden.
Was sagt ihr dazu ?
Interessant oder doch nicht ?
Ich bin ziemlich "interessiert", da anfang 2011 Diablo 3 noch weit in der Zukunft liegen wird. Also wird Grim Dawn wieder ein "Wartezeit-Verkürzer"
Zufällig vor 2 Tagen nach mehreren Monaten wieder TQ angefangen .. muss doch was bedeuten :O ^^
Wird bestimmt geil denk ich, kauf ich mir sicher, falls es nicht irgendwelche Horrormeldungen gibt
Hmm, auf den ersten Blick klingt im Grunde alles für uns interessant was Diablo Ähnlich scheint. Aber das was von Grim Dawn Momentan so bekannt ist hört sich wirklich sehr vielversprechend an. Die Titan Quest Macher haben mich schon damals überzeugt das sie mit Blizzards Diablo mithalten können. Sollten die Jungs und Mädel was dazugelernt haben wird das Spiel sicher was lohnenswertes zu kaufen.
Wobei ich, falls das Spiel so wird, mir einen Survival-Horror-Hack&Slay-Game grad vorstelle, eine Art Resident Evil in Klickmichtot.
Der Titel klingt ja schonmal vielversprechend. Titan Quest war gut aber hatte auch seine Kritikpunkte. (Das Ableben der Mobs z.B. konnte man eher mit ner Puppenschlacht vergleichen...) Bin mal gespannt ob die sich steigern können...
oh, da musste ich mich jetzt grad gerade aufrichten um die bilder genauer zu betrachten. die bilder sind auch nach meinen geschmack sieht alles auf den ersten blick wirklich "geil" aus.
allein schon wenn das spiel nur ein etwas neueres titan quest ist, das in einer heute ähnlichen zeit spielt, reicht´s mir als tatsache das ich es mir kaufen werden muss.
sollten die nicht alles falsch machen, kann was ordentlich draus werden. aber von einen d3 konkurrenten wäre es zu früh zu sprechen, wobei nach den shoots mir bishen das verlangen dazu aufkommt.
so wie es aussieht wird es aber wieder nur eine optische figur für alle klassen geben (siehe bild 4), so wie bie TQ. das fand ich damals schon bishen ärgerlich, wenn im mp alles klone nur rumlaufen,... aber naja
aber das was wir bisher kennen, würde ich titan quest als den einzigen wahren konkurrenten von diablo 2 lod nennen, kein anderes hack and slay sehe ich sonst gut genug was unseren klassiker das wasser reichen könnte, die aussichten stehen also eigentlich gut.
Sieht mir bisher viel zu eintönig aus, sorry. Macht mir nachm 100ten Monster keienn Spaß mehr wenn alles gleich dunkel ist und den gleichen Kontrast/Farben nutzt. ^^
