Legend of Immortal - Shanda

[Mask]

Probably been spoke of before (dated 2010) , looks very similar to mir (Wool next gen) but more action packed.

maybe some of the maps/objects/spells etc would transfer into mir too

If lomcn can get hold of the files, its something you should sink your teeth into imo.

I read about this and i thought it was the Chinese version of Battle of Immortals but just checked videos and screenshots and it's not, looks really good tbh, looks kinder weird is it 2.5D based mmo like BOI or just like Woool 2.5D? am sure i notice the camra angels on some screenshots change postion, with BOI you could zoom in and move angels but it was classed as 2.5D if you don't know what i mean.

Would love to see Shanda go global though, they make some nice games.

me too, looks like alot of fun for a 2-2.5d game, first time iv had the urge to play one in a while.

i noticed a different camera angle when they are on the roof too, also this game appear to use 3d characters/mobs from what i can tell, at least that dragon snake thing looked amazing.

Listen out for the "MassHealing" sound in the third video! lol

I don't like 3d pc games...too jumpy and stuff when adjusting camera angles

yeah i heard it , heard some other familiar sounds too.

don't see why it would be more jumpy, if anything 2d games are more jumpy as there are gaps in the animation of the images when you turn etc (can be seen in mir)

 

[Tai]

I mean you can't control how much you move the camera or character just by tapping a key...whereas with a controller with joysticks you can move it as slightly as you want. At least with 2d there's only so many ways you can turn! I think it's horrendous playing with w/a/s/d keys etc anyway

looks vn1 =) ill have to keep looking at this! :P

 

[Viper]

same, looks pretty good!

Nice to Shanda finally branching out of Asia. Looks nice, though the backgrounds remind me of the ****ty maps people made for Mir2 using painted images converted to maps. Will most likely be a grind fest too but I'll check out the game whenever it comes out.

 

[Sanity]

Wow was never expecting Shanda to release anything out of Asia, will be intresting to see what eles they release.

 

[Killmaster]

Haha I know exactly where you are coming from about the maps Milo.
Looks decent though, will have to give that a go when its about.

yeah i hate those maps , but what can you do..

 

[Omen_lom]

feeling another LOMCN guilld ? hah they dont look too bad. they will look better on that game rather than Mir2, thats for sure.

 

[forspinki]

looks pretty crap i think, reminds me of mir maps

 

[Omega]

It don't look all that great but I know SNDA are good with content and users.

2d games don't appeal to many people these days sadly, but 7 years of work has gone into this game and you can see this just by the immense detail in the backdrops, its like playing an art gallery game lol. whether it will be any good only time will tell.
