Also wanted to point out a couple things: Apparently ALL the Gowers brothers are working together on this game & the game will be using a brand new game engine that they've been making. Definitely signing up for the beta!
6:32 the response that the game is being designed so that bots don't ruin the game is important. Jagex was asked this question before and the devs said "that isn't our job".
I think it's funny, Andrew saying "very different" from runescape, if someone told me this is Runescape 4 I would believe them. Very excited to see the differences and how it will be, if I can test it in the beta.
Oh my effin god! Please, let this be great. We've all been waiting for this. The name itself brings hope. Don't let us down Andrew, keep it in the family this time.
Kinda implies that although Runescape was lost, he looks forward to some brighter shores. Or its just my tacky brain thinking of it that way. Does feel heavily inspired by Runescape, which is obviously intentional. Seems like the direction of how things would be if he still owned the game. I look forward to trying this game when it comes out. I trust the Gowers to release something really good, seeing their reputation.
The game looks kinda old school in it's graphiv design which mskes sense considering it was made by andrew gower, but i was hoping for a more modern style of game
I'm really excited for this game. It's been a long time since I got excited for a new game just from seeing a snippit of it. Last was probably God of War 2018.
I have been thinking in a similar way. The combat is my favourite part about RuneScape and I'm hoping Brighter Shores has some sort of engaging combat rather than just a combat simulator
There have plenty of "spritual successors" of "famous game designers" that flopped massively. People need to be realistic. The scale of this game will probably be 1% of what current RS is now initially.
Agree! Just looking at the images and videos of the game, I feel claustrophobic and boxed in! I love the open world feeling of runescape. That’s one of the things that makes me continue to come back to runescape!
This type of game is what you'd call in this era an idle game, it looks and implies with what he's said on twitter that you can essentially do different skills/activities but set your character to idle/afk the activity and it will run while you're gone. Nothing against these games really I'm enjoying one called Idleon which takes inspiration from runescapes systems.
But these activities will be limited, like only 2 of them and they will give less exp and loot compared to playing normally, but i guess its to prevent botting in some ways
This is awesome and I look forward to it but I hope they change the name xD The name is just so bad. Reminds me of the game "Radical Heights" and how bad that name was. Can't wait though.
i'm glad to see a man with his set of skills and vision not just leaving runescape and retiring but continuing to build other amazing games! this looks epic and i think i will pick this up, start off on free to play to test how i like it then if i think it's something i'll enjoy then 100% will get the premium membership! I wonder if the idle version of skilling will be similar to that of Melvor idle game, which i still play as well! Can't wait to check this out, i'll have to sign up for the beta/alpha testing thing, would be nice to pretty much have a new and improved version of a runescape-y game :) and since it's andrew gower it's GOING to be good XD after all HE's the one who MADE runescape what it is (and his brothers helped him too XD)
The graphics look PS2-style at best and the gameplay looks really clunky and polished. I'm trying to stay open minded here, but had this not been Gower's game, no one would bat an eye at this.
Honestly looks better than I was expecting. Usually when these devs make a new game they just grab unity grade models and call it a day. This at least looks close to RS3 levels. Gameplay looks about what I expected. point and click
Well, back when they first released runescape it was in a very rough shape and slowly transitioned with new features/art. I assume that's how they want to develop this game as well and honestly I can see it for nostalgia
@@DustpetroRuneScape came out in 2001. We've had almost 25 years of video game development since then, so comparing a 2024 game to what worked in 2001 does not fly. Far, far better looking games than this have failed miserably.
@@yasahana4447I can get over the graphics since you don't need amazing graphics to have a good game, but the gameplay and mechanics themselves look really clunky. It looks like this was originally intended to be a mobile game that's now getting ported to PC.
A lot of people are not fans of grid/tile based turn-based combat style games. Might get hype now but players would start complaining during Early Access.
Its not turn based, it will play like RuneScape but the difference is that there will be no tick system, also its not going to be an early access game.
@@blackghostcat Most of them but that's not completely true, there are games that are not driven by a program loop. You might wanna get your "fun facts" straight.
Literally any online game has a "tick system" because the server has to sync game states somewhere on the timeline to determine whether the operation that the player attempted is valid in regard to the game state at the time... It's just that most online games, even when RS was new, had higher tick rate.
A lot of RuneScape creators will definitely try it and make some basic/reveal content for it. There’s not much happening in rs3 right now in terms of new updates which can make it hard to produce exciting content
Unfortunately, I am probably one of the few who doesn't like it too much but that's probably because it seems to be very mobile look type of game. I can see the vision of it being a Table Top Game like look but it doesn't seem to have that history component where there seems to be a lot more than meets the eye. It seems like a very generic game but he is one of the founders of RuneScape so his track record shows otherwise.
Runescape is a tile game u need to see tiles to know which tile you'll run to especially in high level pvm it's great to tell the difference between 2 tiles
Rooms?! Not open world? It's habbo hotel with wood chopping :D .. Also Mr Gower states "it's not about money." Yet all the good stuff (majority of the game) locked behind a pay wall before it's even released because MR Gower knows Runescape players are going to want to try this game and most will pay before playing the game, making him a pretty penny regardless if the game is good and he continues to develop it.. by himself ? Using bots as an excuse for this is a good shout, considering it might not have any monetary value to begin and "it's built from the ground up to avoid bots" using this "room" method would seem to be an easy way to control bots without a paywall? If anything in the game does gain any monetary value then botters would get the premium pass just like they do with Runescape membership and the game would become unmanageable by a handful of people? Also this "room" concept is strange... Been in the making for over a decade? - Although the graphics of the NPC's look like they been directly ripped from RS3? A decade? I'm guessing there are thousands of these "rooms"? Remember he sold Runescape because he likes money and probably running out. I feel a money grab.
This game doesn't even look fun it looks like a worse knockoff version of Runescape which is sad honestly I don't think it'll gain traction the way RS did and that's a huge blow to RS players suffering at the hands of Jagex's RS3 failures over the last 10 years
Disappointing. It’s 2024 should move away from I.S play style. Like they basically should have just made their own version of Newworld but better and distinctive what RuneScape was. And I am not convinced it took them 10 years to make this copy pasta of rs3
Do you understand that RuneScape was created and envisioned by Hower brothers, if not for them there would be no RuneScape, and sorry to disappoint but RuneScape without their lead already is cancer with all bots and mtx in RS3, this game is created by them so they know better how to create game like RuneScape, they dont have mtx in mind, only subscription based, no investors to worry about.

Looks good! Can't wait.
It will be exciting to try! I see you're all ready to cover the game with your RUclips channel name. Exciting!
I am really digging the blocky vertical aspect of it I feel like that has a lot of potential.

Omg best guy to ever create a game! Sounds promising. I hope big corporation don't take over this game and leave it in good hands 😊
Definitely looks promising! Fingers crossed they keep it MTX-free lol. Will for sure give it a try once the beta comes out.
werent all the gowers gone by the time mtx came to rs3? i doubt theyd do it here
The game looks kinda old school in it's graphiv design which mskes sense considering it was made by andrew gower, but i was hoping for a more modern style of game
Looks interesting, definitely will try it out. I had been thinking about logging back in osrs but it does feel a bit grindy.
Should be a fun game to try out. Likely won’t live up to rs but worth trying
i am wondering if they will use game currency to pay for premium or not. maybe later ?
i hear the ninja appliance in the background at the start xD
Can u play on mobile
I'm really excited for this game. It's been a long time since I got excited for a new game just from seeing a snippit of it. Last was probably God of War 2018.
RuneScape is a grid system too just not as obvious. Also this looks like rs3 graphics. Looks like a RuneScape remake
Great video. Also looking forward to this game :)
Wait a second, they got the Stanley Parable VA for the trailer? If he narrates parts of the game, 100% in.
This reminds me of Second Life combined with RS3. Really great so far and I'm curious about the BETA release 🙂
Parry/defensive mechanics spotted (?) at idk what minute I’m baked but I saw a shield move side to side
What I enjoy about RS3 and specific MMOs are their complexity and depth. If this game doesn't offer engaging combat, it's dead to me.
I have been thinking in a similar way. The combat is my favourite part about RuneScape and I'm hoping Brighter Shores has some sort of engaging combat rather than just a combat simulator
I think they got the Stanley Parable guy for the trailer.
No Perilous Moons?
Looking forward to this !!
Man the game looks só amazing. I mean is andrew we know that everything he does is right. I'm gonna give a try for sure!
This is the way. Variety is the key to life and thats what the mmorpg genre has been lacking.
not a huge fan of the grid or how congested the map feels but it seems promising

So was RuneScape when I started in 2001
I hope there's skybox options, because the black void in the background of most scenes makes the game's aesthetic seem drab right out of the box
Wow this is so cool, I wonder when the treasure hunter update comes out for this game.
Please increase the draw/render distance... Especially for outdoor environments

this dude really sold his company and remade a copy. lol
Definitely will check this out. My main worry is the combat will not be engaging enough. Combat like in OSRS doesn't hold up imo, but RS3 is clunky.
Imagine all the RS3 content creators trying to push a new game I bet that'll go over well with Jagex lmao

Hell yeah
Could this game be the Runescape killer?
4:22 You lost me. This sounds like an mobile idle game
Gimme!
No PVP, no Play. Preferably without the horrendous runescape PVP system that requires you to prayer flick / swap entire outfits mid combat.
So runescape 4
Thats pre much all i see, a copy paste simplistic version, designed to feel more single player it seems.
lol imagine having the chance to make an entirely modern day RuneScape but still using a grid system. Facepalm
That wasn't part of his vision of his own game. Andrew wanted a point and click tabletop game. That's pretty much what this is.
old systems in the game arent necissarily bad game systems.

Better not sell this game to another corporation, that’s what recked RuneScape, when he sold it in 2011. So I’m a little bit hesitant on it.
