WAR (Warhammer Online)

All the hype about miracle grafix and animations, we can't, see are nothing but that, hype.  Put your money where your mouth is and show them. 

 

Throw up a gameplay video that doesn't look like crap.

Theres plenty out there, go find them instead of regurgatating others uniformed posts.

Why aren't there some non youtube videos from beta players? Some truely high res, non-edited videos. If there are link some, I'm tired of watching crappy youtube quality. It'll shut up these graphic trolls and give me something to watch.

Otherwise I agree with the above. There is nothing but picutres that are easily manipulated with angles and such to make them look better. People have even bee known to photoshop in sheen and color to make it look flawless.

frankly with an attitude like that, WAR could cure cancer and you would still complain that the box was the wrong colour.

I'm going to be honest with you.  I had no plans of playing this on my desktop (the one I built for AoC) on my 50 IN TV.  But, after looking at these screen shots..

HOLY HELL.

Well personally I am glad that I do not have to buy another brand new PC to run this game.  It seems like every time a new game comes out I'm buying a new video card or something to make it run smoother.

No, I'm not one to be over hyped nearly as much as so many people here are. Companies pull a lot of crap when it comes to games and promotions, players do as well to promote their favorite game as they are so engaged in it to a point of psychological disorders. We all know this, (have heard of the gamers comitting suicide, kidnapping other gamers they fall in love with, killing their infants over gaming) so I don't know why you think I'm having an attitude for not being hyped and thinking reasonable thoughts about things that have happened in the past. The past predicts the future.

Go spend the time and look for them. I think many of us are tired of spoon feeding the ignorant and lazy.

you claim that WAR has bad graphics, people punt out the tired old "its beta" line and then show you pictures, but your response is not "those are nice pictures, do you have any videos", its more like "these look shopped, i can tell from some of the pixels".

ill do you a favour: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=85

go here, look at videos, make up your own mind. remember "its still beta".

It has to be playable on 2004 technology, that was one of their objectives when making the game so that wow players don't have to upgrade their systems.

Can't expect it to have 2008 quality graphics, anyone who says it has is talking out of their posterior.
