- these levels look like they are designed to solve a purpose, not like it's some living breathing world. If I were a monster, why would I spend eternity standing around doing nothing waiting for some hero to come and slay me?

- Guys, these graphics are beta graphics set in a very low resolution, minimum graphic quality settings, and the lighting hasn't been implemented into about half of the areas yet. And the ones you've seen that are lighted are only currently lighted with point lighting. The artists are currently working on the environmental and ambient lightings.

- Game looks like crap, but the playability might be good though. To be honest it doesn't even look like WoW v2.0 more like an expansion. Gfx isn't all though so I sure hope it plays better than it looks.

- I've been following this game for a long time.. but even I thought this was weak. I was hoping for a better first impression, I guess I can just hope that they will polish the game more and add more content to this city.. I didn't find it the least bit "chaotic".

- An eye in the top of a tower, dang that's new.

- The poor quality of the video and the fact that the game is in development doesn't sway my opinion like some of these uber idiots....WAR will look amazing when finished and it will run nice on good systems. If you want killer graphics that are going to look HD then play VSoH, but before you can even play it you better buy a new expensive computer. WAR will look good. Most of these videos you can tell are poor quality videos just from the surrounding static and poor resolution. That won't translate into how the game appears on your monitor.

- I agree. I like Warhammer, and I loved it when I was younger, but this looks weak - I'll probably try it anyway, tho

- Let's hope low details are for better RvR support (no lag)... And as a Daoc/War fan, I agree... weak :(

- I see where it's going and I can sense that they want to be low end friendly but humm... I don't know, for some reason it doesn't catch the attention.

- I am really hoping WAR turns out to be a great game, but their videos (esp this one look like complete garbage. I am sorry, but the work in progress excuse doesn't play anymore this close to release.
gatheris(posted Sun Dec 23 2007)
- AOC is certainly looking better isn't it
vala2008(posted Tue Dec 18 2007)
- Very simular to the hellfire penisula. not realy like the chaos cities envisioned in the books. this will be a more comedy type game i think....maybe laughable.
Fion(posted Tue Dec 18 2007)
- If as some claim, it's imcomplete and unlit and we shouldn't complain because it's not done. If that's the case and they don't want us to complain then I suggest next time they wait to show it off in a big video until it's done. Instead we get an uninspired, re-hashed video that we shouldn't complain about cause it's not done? No, it doesn't work that way.
TheHavok(posted Tue Dec 18 2007)
- Is it just me or does this remind anybody else of HELLFIRE PENINSULA?
Dreawing(posted Mon Dec 17 2007)
- ummmmmm... by anychance do you guys know wat it means when it says work still in progress.. ?? it means they haven't finished the city yet and it will look really nice when they done with the thundering sky, and the eyes are pose have smoke coming out of them and all the lighting effects. so i wouldnt be talking intil they show the real city.
Fion(posted Mon Dec 17 2007)
- VIdeo of the month? IMHO the recent AoC trailer with the old man talking about his past, blows this away, by a long shot. Still, I'm keen on exploring this city. Looks like it could have some interesting things to discover. But yea, as many have said, it is rather bland. Having odd angled walls and an eye on a door doesn't necessarily make it chaotic. IMHO that's perhaps the most basic form of chaos. It could have been radically more imaginative.
Speiberbob(posted Sun Dec 16 2007)
- erm Video of the month? =.= its ta hype ! No realy lets hope the bad graphics will pay for the INCERDIBLE mass battles pvp without lag
Invictus84(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- This Looks like Garbage.
oddbod(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- lame. WAR graphics look less stylized that WOW and less realistic than EQ2. Honestly they look last generation already, and it's not even out.
vala2008(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- warhammer fantasy roleplayb was the first game i played about 25 years ago. then it went to war battle which put out chunky and quite geeky looking figures. its a shame to see that the online game has followed suit and hasnt captured the warhammer essense. the beholder looking left and right, in time with the music, for instance shows a geekish level of mentality to the game developers who also seem that way when they are in interview. im a great fan of the warhammer world but wont get the game i dont think
mrbizarro(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- I love the Warhammer IP, and I have to say that was weak. If that's the best they can do for a city of Chaos then they should be ashamed.
AmazingAvery(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- Watched it again to be fair. Still found it boring and unworthy of video of the month title. Yes its still in beta and the graphics aren't finished but I mean "come -on!"!! I had more fun watching my laundry spin around in the dryer.
Muirin(posted Sat Dec 15 2007)
- Game is turning out nice, hope this MMO can bring me back to the genera.
Frammshamm(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- maybe if you guys knew more than a retarded chipmunk you would undertand that these areas have not had the lighting implemented yet. I think they reiterate this about 10-15 times in various podcasts. Do one of two things. Stop watching and posting.. or just watch and shut up. You all just hit CTRL + V to paste the same crap whenever a new WAR video comes out.. but you know you are going to try the game when it releases. Only then are you qualified to make a judgement. And if you arent going to try it.. why are you all bothering to still watch videos.. shouldnt you be QQing over Fury or trading cards at Legends of Norrath.. or better yet.. dont you have daily quests to grind out..lawl at you
polskichlop(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- Apparently, no one sees the little caption at the bottom of the screen that says "Work in Progress." And stop comparing WAR to WoW. Its hard to make a MMORPG that ISNT like WoW because WoW encompasses almost everything that an MMORPG can have. So maybe you should just give it a chance and stop being so judgemental...

- quit comparing WoW to WAR you losers they are two completely different games now stfu. WAR looks great keep up the good work EAmythic

- So interesting. I mean like wow! L33t grapichs not a WoW lookalike really inovative! Sigh, who am I kiddin.. This just doenst work, we all know it isnt it. But that didnt mean its a bad thing, but it is a WoW clone with different accents on which is important and what isnt.

- IT A WOW CLONE?? Umm... So WoW is a Horizon crafting clone? I love when people try and compare games just to find out it's all been done before but the new players to the MMO market think WoW evented everything.

- HAHAHA! You're funny, Kukkis.
Kukkis(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- As a notification, those graphics aren't the real ones what'll come to the game. Those graphs are used in videos and beta.
Puuk(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- Do they have lighting artists at Mythic? I mean seriously, 2002 called and wants its graphics back. The more I see of WAR, the more disappointed I get in its visuals. Low pollys are fine - WoW does it successfully - but there's something to be said about art direction and lighting.
AmazingAvery(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- Runescape graphics in parts.
Kenny3000(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- um ok...as much respect for the warhammer series i have...IT A WOW CLONE...there i said it(Goes into the corrner and cryes) what we really need is a Warhammer 40K mmo now that would kick so much @$$
vulgrin(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- Has this game peaked already? I was really looking forward to WAR, being a long time WFRP player, but the more and more I see, the less I want to play. Hmmmph.
buden-ninja(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- All of this just adds to the monster hype that is WAR.
Lobotomist(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
- Is it just me , or is WAR showing less and less polygon graphic as we go down the road towards release. Judging from this and last vid of the month - WAR graphics are on par with 2002 NWN. Not necesseraly bad thing, since it is obvious they opted for performance, but than again ...it will be released end of 2008 not 2002
AmazingAvery(posted Fri Dec 14 2007)
