- The Chronicles of Spellborn - looks quite nice with that unreal engine.
Timetheos(posted Wed Aug 22 2007)
- I am so looking forward to this game!
sphyco(posted Wed Aug 15 2007)
- this game looks awesome it also looks a hell of a lot better then warcraft
Darowen(posted Sat Aug 11 2007)
- Oh and orcs, LOOK LIKE ORCS!! Mean GREEN AND NASTY!!!
Darowen(posted Sat Aug 11 2007)
- How is this look like WoW? WHO looks alot dirtier, nastier than "Lets make orcs look pretty" WoW. Dont judge a game, based on graphics. This game, will kill WoW. Just watch. Blizzard wont know what to do then.

- For all who says this game are exactly like wow, How can you tell what the game are like by just lookin at a few bad made gamevideos? Warhammer got plenty of time until release and it already looks more fun than world of warcraft!! There are MUCH more to do with the game and there are plenty of time left. and when the closed beta starts they will fix the problems with the game and it will be PERFECT, I do realy hope we don't have to play with the wow nerds with a cocky mouth about warhammer online right now

- And by saying this IP came first,art work came first, I am speaking of the warhammer franchise.
Sovren1(posted Wed Aug 08 2007)
- Even though he is misguided about where Blizzard got their the ideas for the artwork they have in place, I do agree with him on one point: Why the hell would anyone want to play a game that reminds them of WoW? This IP came first, the artwork first, but it can't get away from the comparison. If you hate WoW, won't this remind you of it? Hopefully gameplay answers that.

- still not excited.I don't see something brand new of what I seen so far of the game. btw this pre alpha video is weary similar to the other MMO"WoW"Everybody knows that wow is the real clone from Warhammer but still wow was 1st to make a mmo look like that, realy disapointed that they did not come up with anything new/else.the pvp and rvr reminds me also a little about DAoC.I'm looking forward to the games that bring me something new...until now I would say that "WAR is old even before it launches"

Pyro240(posted Tue Aug 07 2007)
- LoL, guys did u know they started creating this game 10 years ago ? but it wasn't good back then, when they were half way creating this game, they stopped cuz it was a crappy game and now since 2004 they started again! so FUCK WoW, WoW stole warhammers artwork!
endzo(posted Mon Aug 06 2007)
- can u really cut trees on this game?
Sacrified(posted Mon Aug 06 2007)
- for the last time, do your homework ****ers, WoW isn't warhammer online!!
Saurus930(posted Mon Aug 06 2007)
- For pre-alpha it looks ok. I'm not a great PvP fan, but I'll check this game out anyway. Wow Stole this and that from lots of other games so it must be a crappy game. And by judging a game from pictures on the net I can see that Wow is the same game as EQ so I won't play it. Mr Clueless
NightsirK(posted Sun Aug 05 2007)
- My god, this place is ripe with idiots. Someone compost them. Anyways, brilliant footage! Really can't wait to see how these zones will look in the final game.. And I'm curious about the meaning of those Orkz choppa down dat treez ;D
ruffkin(posted Sun Aug 05 2007)
- "please stay away and don't play WAR. Those of us with a clue would prefer that we don't have to deal with you." I cant understand such posts. Why you people so angry? Are you Psychos? Some times i think that is your company and you are loosing profit. This is just insane...
Conkerturd(posted Sun Aug 05 2007)
- LOL....early pre triple alpha footage. What a joke....how about something recent? How about something that doesn't resemble WOW. Oh, that must be as close as they can get because the current state of the game is an even closer copy of WOW. This game is setting new standards for fanboi overhype. WOW2!!!
Umbroso(posted Sat Aug 04 2007)
- For all of you people, especially Bezado, who obviously don't understand the term "Pre-Alpha", please stay away and don't play WAR. Those of us with a clue would prefer that we don't have to deal with you.
neosurfeur(posted Sat Aug 04 2007)
- Omst tiem past most player begone to be angry, and disapointed, some about graphique other about comparaison with WoW, on design, gameplay, artwork... Still I thinkk like them a bit dont make yourself illusion, the game was classed " most anticipated game only, its not like they got best presentation or best technologie used or innovation title ect... " Seriously like I say more time past and more that game lost is title of anticipate game.
imaslackster(posted Sat Aug 04 2007)
- Some of you people saying that they ripped off of wow... lol that's just hilarious. The warhammer lore and artwork from the table top game have been around well before even Warcraft 1 came out. Not only that, Blizzard is now stealing a mass amount of ideas from WAR and DAoC to put into their next expansion.
ruffkin(posted Sat Aug 04 2007)
- To junoreactor: Im not little man:) and its my point of view. i dont like the graphics cos i know they can be better in nowadays! But gameplay can be fun, so i'll give it a try anyway!
junoreactor(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- [Quote By Ruffkin "This is bad graphics for FOR 2008 year, amen"] Well little man, Please go to youtube.com (NAY SAYERS TRY THIS) look up "w.o.w. Alpha" . Alpha to release its like comparing half life 1 to half life 2. like comparing KING KONG 1933 to KING KONG 2005.
Amarao(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- This site attracts a good amount of dumb assess. This is PRE ALPHA its amazingly old and still looks damn good for a pre alpha vid. I'm tired of fanboys just saying "Oh, fuck logic, AoC is the best because it had -insert sad amount of knowledge- and the others suck because their not AoC".
Archin(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- I think it looks amazing wven tho it is a PRE-ALPHA video from many months ago!! Come on Aug newsletter can't wait to see the lighting tool!!!
atziluth(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- The graphic comments are coming from AoC and other fan boys of other games. There are few games out there that can show graphics as good as that for PREALPHA. Some of the newer beta screens are really starting to look great and they do not even have the lighting system in yet. It has already been proven that WAR has vastly improved graphics then most MMOs out to date .
ruffkin(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- This is bad graphics for 2008 year. Amen.
pauw(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- use to play a mmorpg with no grafic's at all and it was fun :D
Raunu(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- This is a PRE-ALPHA video. The textures are still low-res, the animations are not fleshed out, the lighting system is not in place. When WAR releases and you see the finished product, then you won't be saying it looks horrible.
METALDRAG0N(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- IM amazed at the number of people saying this looks bad!!! I think its worth saying again that this video is PRE ALPHA!!! You all really need to learn to read.
Micro_angel(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- why does this video looks bad? im not a WH fan and im not gonna buy it but i just cant understand why people are saying crap of this video...
Devour(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- The general MMORPG.com response to WAR:- "OH NOES IT LUKS CARP I WISH IT HAD BAD GMAEPAYL N GUD GARFIX LIEK GALD WARZ!11!!!!"
makii(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- looks bad
Boompje(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- Same here, can't wait!
guidisel(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- this is AWESOME ,, .. ///greenskins-idea from warhammer and not warcraft ///
pal18(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- for PRE ALPHA it looks great, can't wait until it's released
Drughi(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- do u really know what PRE-ALPHA even means?
trubbel(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- That was pathetic. And people say this is 'beautiful'? Hah! It looks absolutely horrible. Nothing new here either. And Bezado, yes Blizzard was the first to put this sort of graphics into an MMO.
shienarier(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- Please don't explain to bezado why he would play this game. I don't want to risk having him on the same server as me.
valeon(posted Fri Aug 03 2007)
- Bezado, you are completely wrong. The styling for this game is based off of the figurines, which have been around since the early 80s. It is NOT copying wow. This game looks completely gorgeous. I cant wait to play.
Alienovrlord(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- Interesting sneak peek, have to pause that video and view frame by frame.
bezado(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- Holy World of Warcrap footage?? Dumb question but does anyone else see the stupid resemblance to this and WOW? Yeah so people say Blizzard stole Warhammer artwork and blahh blah blah!! But has anyone ever thought that Blizzard was the first to put the art onto the screen in a MMORPG called WOW?? Yes Blizzard had the MMORPG artwork and models before Warhammer the MMORPG came to us, I like to see people back this question up. Ok go fanboys take a stab at it. Blizzard created these cartoonish graphics first and it seems everything I see here from Warhammer is an exact clone to Blizzards WOW. WOW sucked hardcore after the first year, why would you play a game that reminds you of World of Warcrap?
ChrowX(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- Destructible environments in a detailed setting like that.. This game is going to be rediculous
Shalud(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- This game is gonna be amazing, can't wait. A rather weak video though but who cares?
darwa(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- Was that a video for WAR or the next WOW expansion? What a letdown :(
Tenebroso(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- I am sold. I was considering buying an xbox 360 to play AoC, but DAMN, i m buying a PC now so i can also play WAR. Damn it again. Damn that looks nice.
tonyshado79(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- looks like sum n64 graphix..
jamescq(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- im buying an alienware JUST i can run this PERFECTly :D
LittleBlue(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- Okey that sucked and dropped my hype for this game
phjille(posted Thu Aug 02 2007)
- This video is pretty old isn't it? Looks great anyway! :D
