Actually I wasn't impressed at all I would of been 5 year's ago (yes I'm a graphics whore I didn't build my comp to play pacman) didn't like the sound either. But i'm still hoping that the gameplay and the pvp will be great as i loved DAOC and it's still in early development. |

I agree, maybe a few years ago i would have been very impressed. The gameplay looks rather boring imo but hopefully it wont be as boring as it looks!

I hope the gonna improve it, but very basic things already turn me off - like the way the characters move. It looks stiff and the combat animations are just not very good (not fluent and way too "comic-style").
Come on Mythic, you can do better (I hope). |

I think this footage has proved to me that it's going to be the same old same old, the combat looks very crap and slow like DAOC, seeing as they use the DAOC engine. My worries are it'll control as horrible as DAOC and the interface will be as bad :\ --------------------------------------------- |

Yes the combat looks stiff, and reminds me of DAoC. Yes they are similar and use the same engine. I also don't like the way the characters move but lets hope they improve it so it meets expectations.

Well.. i like the graphics but i don't know about the sound, what's up with the "whooshing" sound? Atleast could do with sounds of "hitting" something, like maybe smashing and splishing and splashing, or the swords "KLING KLANG!" |

All games look like crap during alpha...

True, and its early days so lets hope they make the game more "free-flowing"!

This is footage of alpha (at least a year from release) and even though they're using the same engine as DAoC, they began development on DAoC in 1999-2000. They're of course going to make improvements on the engine for WAR. Also, if I'm not mistaken, they're using an updated version of the DAoC engine.
I thought it looked better than WoW, which is really the only MMORPG out there that has this style of graphics. |

Talk about jumping to conclusions. I actually thought it looked VERY polished for a game in alpha. The graphics are far more better then WOW and keep in mind it's alpha. Keep these things in mind: It's a year away from release We have know clue what level these toons are. For all we know they could be very young toons Looks like game music was off They have colision detection, i rather have STIFF movement then some kid who can press the jump button constnatly and jump through me. Actually on that note I don't see how movement is stiff. They toons hardly moved.
I loved the video and looking fwd to the game. |

i don't get it. why all the pretty colours and the lights during the fight? i thought thats warhammer. iron, blood and war. I mean take a look at dawn of war. just blood, dust... war. but its kindergarten again...
shure its an alpha but... i'm very disappointed  |

Except this is alpha, not beta. Hopefully they'll listen to the crisicism and work on it. My only real complaint was the sci-fi-ish sound effects. "Two things are infinite-the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe"-Albert Einstein |

There is some very nice in game video footage of WAR on youtube. Movement and graphics in general look to be much more polished in those videos than the one that was just released. My guess is that graphics are toned down a lot for the RvR testing since the game is far from optomized. There also looked to be a little laggy on the movement side of things.
Also, if anybody thinks this game is going to have Wow-like combat they are going to be very disappointed. With Collision detection people aren't going to jumping around like morons all the time when they fight. I do expect movement of some sort to get into better positions but no running around like crazy. In some points, the combat of wow was really fun because of all of that, however I think this will be fun in a different way because it introduces more team-based tactics into the mix. I expect the final game to be much more polished graphically, and the sounds (and most likely spell effects), to be completely redone. They are probably using generic placeholders right now - who knows... maybe from Imperator. |

That RvR footage reminded me ALOT more of DAOC than WOW... by far... |
