Crimson Desert (PC, PS5, Xbox X) open world RPG - we all agree this game looks too good to be true, right?

I think it is supposed to have a full single player storyline as well according to this video (I don't know how reliable), around the 2:13 mark:
It was originally an MMO when announced in 2019 but seems like they've pushed back a bit on the MMO part for it to be more single player focussed.
This is pretty much it.
November 2019 announcement
And a press release from December 2020
emphasis mine
Yup. Instant BDO vibes from this, which isn't great in my opinion.
BDO has great combat and great character creation, but the monetization sucks, and there really isn't much to the game beyond mindlessly grinding thousands of enemies, and there's not even a decent loot system to help out there.
Also, the game honestly doesn't look all that great for how poorly it runs. So many awful awful postprocessing effects.
From what I've read it's no longer an MMO and has become an open world action RPG. It reminds me of Dragon's Dogma in a lot of ways, can't wait to see more!
More details and footage about their game can be found on their channel.
Going by Black desert, it should be feasible. Main Character is called Macduff :).

This is a great video. Watched it the other day and I'm actually really excited for it. It kinda sounds like the game is going to be like Dragons Dogma with some multiplayer aspects.
Agreed. I hope it really is singleplayer only or at least has some kind of offline solo mode, maybe they can dial things down a little bit.
The combat will be great no doubt. BDO probably still has the best combat in a MMO.
BDO shows the developers can create some hefty visceral combat but the problem with that game is it's you vs 100 mindless mobs and that sort of brawler is boring. Crimson Desert seems way better in this regard
Black Desert at launch was absolutely insane.
Then they remastered it and I couldnt believe it was an MMO.
Crimson Desert will look that good on a PC that can handle it.
The gulf between low and max on this game will likely be even more extreme than what we got from Black Desert.
If you set BDO to low....its almost like its a different game.
As for console releases.....Im not super confident it will be quite at that level at any reasonable "nextgen" resolution.
This was BDO character creator.
Better than some games bespoke characters

Looks possible. There's an odd snappiness to animations--particularly interacting with enemies--that adds that layer of video gamey jank that makes it all the more believable (as a thing that exists). Plus the game needs some optimization if the framerate is anything to go by. IQ and draw distance might be toned down later on.
Pretty much, yeah. The framerate in the trailer was abysmal. I imagine we'll get downgrades down the line so the game can actually run.
Seeing what Pearl Abyss pulled off with BDO, I would expect more optimization for better performance than scaling back visuals, but we'll see.
It's still a year out, at the very least, from release.
Hyperbole makes this site a fucking eyesore sometimes, I swear.
