 I'm glad you posted those screens Nimuel.  I, like many others, dislike the more cartoony approach that WAR is taking and wish they would have taken a step towards artwork instead of the miniatures.  I love the Warhammer artwork and I definitely think that graphics that were more realistic (in a fantasy setting) would definitely have still been true to the IP.

 I'm definitely still playing this game because the RvR sounds like a blast but I just wish WAR's character models would have taken a more realistic approach.


I'd also prefer the more realistic path that Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is taking, but to be fair that is an RTS, and all the units have large similarities (there will be customization however), unlike in WAR where every unit will be more or less unique which requires a bit more juice from the computer. The big differnce so far arent really the models, it's the terrain and the buildings, here's screens of some greenskins and dwarves, they are very similar to the ones in WAR.

Goblins

Dwarves

Lets just say i wouldnt complain if the WAR scenery looked like this :P

*edit*
Here's a screenshot from WAR where you can see some scenery, and here's another, truth be told it doesnt look bad at all really, esp considering that there's still a year and a half of development to go through...

If you've seen what the Plague Bearer is going to look like from the early video blogs, you know the dark direction chaos is going.

I mean the T rating isn't going to stop them from having impaled heads and stuff.  And with the plague bearer it has intestines hanging out and stuff like that. 

Once we see the Empire and Chaos it'll be apparent where the art direction is going because those two are the more real world centered races.

A "T" rating does mean something though.

I would actually rather it be "M" if I thought it would sell as well as with a "T" rating, but I know that won't happen.

  I suppose I just wish I could play an orc that looked more like this. Mark of Chaos

But I guess it's kind of like saying I wish I had a Jetson's car since my comp probably wouldn't be able to run it very well.

I tryed EVE Online and found out it was not my kinda thing, so I don't play it


I don't like Pepsi I prefere Coke, so I dont buy Pepsi

I would never live in London so I dont

I really hate beef favoured chrisps (Chips for 99% of these forums:) )So I dont buy them

I really hate to take tablets unless Im on deaths door, so I don't take them unless Im on deaths door

I like the idea of War and it will be getting some of my Euro's

Wow what a usless post I just made, was seeing if being as dull as you was actually fun. The only thing that it did was to make me feel sorry for you.

To sum up, No one cares if you dont like the game, no one asks you to like it, Mytic will not come round to your house with two gorilla sized, suited men and force you to pay and play it!

Although they could just come around to your house and beat the crap into you, might knock some sence into that empty troll head of yours.

You sir are an idiot

Have a nice day

Phill

Welcome to this week's episode of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom"...

Today we have stumbled upon the Forum Troll in its natural habitat... Crikey! Notice how fast it strikes, coming out of NOWHERE to deliver a one line attack post in the forums for a game it apparently has no interest in! And look how it riles up the natives so! This one is clearly an aged and experienced Forum Troll! We should all consider ourselves lucky to have gotten to experience such a sight first hand!

That's all for the show this week, please join us again on "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom!"



hahahaha!! I never even read that until someone pointed me at it.

But i'm not going to get riled up.  I am a forum troll also.. i think if everyone was honest... they'd realise that we're all forum trolls...

I must say, i am truely surprised that mythic and the war devs have come so far with this game. It looks both funny and realistic.  Where many games have an "ooohh" factor with nice armour and weapons WAR has an "OOOHHHH I want that and that and that" factor.. you really don't need epics in a game, you just need cool looking armour and weapons. And something to hit. 

I don't care what anyone else says about WAR, i don't care if the game is lagged or lacking in anything else. I'll buy the game just to play a troll or a goblin or an orc... just to kill dwarves... 

I am guessing that the big green thing was a troll and not a misproportioned goblin...and if i can't be a troll, i'll just be a goblin and pretend i'm a troll...

To win you need friends who are blind, deaf and dumb, you then just pretend you won and they wont know.
