WAR (Warhammer Online)

Just thought I'd show you guys what the game will look like at launch.  Tell me what you think.

Nice..but gotta remember ..looks arent the most important..and one cant tell a game is good just by the screens...

Look at aoc..nice graphics at the cost of becoming one of the worst games ever...

I have all the faith in the world Mythic will deliver a great game.

DAoC was a great game itself. Knowing what they know from that game will do nothing but make WAR all the better.

Last September I was at Mythic for an interview...didn't get the job...but when I was there they showed me this...they have 4 floors of the building dedicated to nothing but Warhammer.

They have UO and DAoC all in the same office space...the entire floor but you know what I mean.

I doubt this game will fail to deliver.

From what I've read I'm going to say I'm reletively confident this game will be good as far as game play.  My hopes might be misplaced but I doubt it.  The one thing people have been complaining about with this game, however, is the graphics, and clearly that's not going to be an issue.

WAAAAGH!!!

Sadly, my mind is considerable not blown :(

Yeah, well some people just can't be pleased.  Go have fun with AOC.

I've seen this picture and others already and trust me that is not how the game graphics will look at release...it will look better

This really does give me a new perspective on WAR.. Im pleasantly surprised

Most important thing in any PvP centered MMO: It has to be running smoothly, react adequatly and have nice looking animations.

And WAR does look exactly like the devs know full well what a nice animation looks like, plus they know that it is absolutely essential that people have the feeling that they lost a duel/battle because THEY made a mistake, not the game/lag/server.

I couldn't care less about the nose or the skin of my character or about how the runes on his shoulderpads look... But if i pick up two short swords and slice away I want the animations to be friggin MINDblowing. Thats one thing WoW did SO well, when you landed a backstab with 3500 critical damage the animation and the sound was like "BAM, have a nice day b**ch"... And as far as anyone can tell now, Warhammer will absolutely deliver there...

They didn't have the final lighting system in those screens, I'm not sure if it's in the final beta client or not yet - so no, it'll look even better than that at launch. Right now the spells look like they were painted with cheap colors but not for long.
