The ingame video is a pretty nice glimpse of some of the various areas, but it looks like it was made at various phases of beta since sometimes you see the lighting effects engine in effect and other times you don't. Overall its pretty good imo.

Nice video's thanks for posting.
Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there,
80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,
and he will bring the others home.

The in-game video looks very nice and reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings Online (which is a good thing!!)
Hmm nice video.

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

I dunno, I think the avatars look terrible.
Obviously, hard to judge 'til we've seen it running in high resolution on a high-spec PC and it might have just been because the vids were dark elves but the avatars looked very skinny and I wasn't massively impressed with the graphical look of the buildings either.
Don't get me wrong, I'll still be buying and trying the game, but those videos both lacked the "woot" factor imo.
looks like wow which is great
those look awesome.
Looks great, I'm definitely starting to shift my interest more in favor of this game as time goes on.
Waiting for: A skill-based MMO with Freedom and Consequence.
Woe to thee, the pierce-ed.
Really good find. The first video is particularly good quality I thought,and it was nice to hear some in game voices and sounds instead of placeholders. I would love to hear the racial theme music for each type in the game though. Its a shame EA didn't include a CD of the music in the CE preorder. I have listened to the podcast about the music lots of times.The dwarf theme is really good, makes me wonder what they did for empire.

It became quite clear ,after watching the first movie, that I've not been very up to date with the latest in game videos. The graphics was the most remarkable change since last time, but also the look. I felt like I was watching LOTRO, the game resembles it in so many ways. Still it was a nice video and good quality, thanks for the post!
Good enough.
it actually was made at different parts of time, they just recently took dwarfs / green skins out of the game to bring them up to other races standards
Wow, looked awesome! I enjoyed that we had clear in game sound this time too
The sleeper awakes...and rides his dirtbike to the mall.
Looks like WoW and many more MMO's, and thats fine with me. As this game will definitely work and give us millions of people to group with.
Keep your graphics AoC and all the problems that come with it. I'm in it for fun !!!
Wow......I'm so glad to see that we're still killing giant killer Gnats?
Wake me when something truly innovative is shown.
Nothing seems to please these people.

I think you'll find yourself in a world of hate if you can't handle a world where people will always find something to complain about since, well, this is a PvP game. Even if the game were perfectly made and perfectly balanced there'd still be complaining by the guy that loses.
Why did they need to take that shitty LOTRO letter font ?
Other then that it looks like wow and that it's a great thing imo because i want the same gameplay like wow but better pvp. Looks like a smooth engine aswell, and let us hope there are not allot of sync issues.
QFT.
That in game footage was surprisingly bad for my taste.Repeatable sounds on every fight - clunk clank the swords with that annoying noise all the time - you cant play with a headset on your ears more than 10 mins(max) listening to that nerve scratching noise!
To me it seems like a lotro-wow mixture on its current state.I loved the old layout more.This is definately not my cup of tea and tbh that video was kind of unexpected for me..i was like " Oh wth".
But then again it just might be me
..i guess!
The engine/UI is straight off horizons now known as "Istaria"....
I love how people complain about dumb stuff from Beta Footage "Oh the sound blah blah blah" easy simple things that can easily be patched in, worked on, and updated. If you look at the UI and sounds to any MMO at release and compare them to whats in game 6 months to a year later its completely different, of course WAR is atleast 6 months from release so these things are completely petty and worthless to complain over.
Not to mention we have no idea how the user has the sound set up. I personally usually turn battle sounds way down and the music & voice up.
Personally I found the gameplay footage boring but then every gameplay footage done by Journalists are extremely boring since they're merely toying around. It'll be nice when Open Beta hits that way the video coming out from players will atleast be worthwhile.
btw the engine is the newest version of the one they used for DAoC it is not from Horizons. As far as I remember with the UI from Horizons is its similiar in looks but thats about it..when It launched I remember it resembling more like of EQ2's UI system. There's only so many ways you can make a UI look so that the most basic user can easily get into the game, personally I think it reminds me more of WoW's UI though more comprehensive.

WarHammer Online . Will be the master of all mmorpg, no dout.
But still they are a few thing that - nag "me" personal.
1. That skill are on timers.
2. That all waer the same armor/ though same classes.
3. The lag on Pet classes, and that the chaose tank chosen: is a simple class, and that he dont really stand to his "name and class history" and therefor has a system of demonic skills, and abilitys alot more then what he got.
Beta:
GW, WOW, AOC, DAOC, DOD, L2, VG.
Playd:
GW necro msx, WOW never maxd, DAOC reaver-paladin-cabalist-vamp max, L2 never maxd, VG never maxd.
Play:
Daoc - Paladin. Classic.
You've not actually see enough of the game in the crap videos that come out to really have any worries on number 2 or number 3. Especially number 2 considering the Dye System alone severly changes the looks of all the armor (check out TenTonHammer.com's video example of the Dye System 1 peice of armor is used for the brightwizard and depending oin the dye's used the armor appeared Extremely Different from the original. Expect major Customization once you get past lvl 5 to 10 which is where most of these PRE MADE test characters are coming from).
btw skills in most MMOs are on timers otherwise its a who ever can create the fastest spam macro.

I've seen enough to know that they've done what most MMO's with a previous story do, they've taken the most conveniant excerpt from warhammer lore to avoid doing anything "scary" to the WoW fed crowd of MMO consumers. When I heard warhammer I was thinking the 20k/40k universe with space marines, eldar, and Ork. But no, they're taking the cookie cutter "lawl elvs nd orcs r fightin" path, combined with what looks like a rehashed combat system, with an average looking gfx engine. Have you heard of *anything* that could be thought of as "innovative" coming from this MMO so far? What is different about this game compared to WoW, EQ, DAoC, and the other mainstream "fantasy" mmo's? Because if all they've got is the same game with a different story, I'm not even going to try it.
Please refer to some random cliche picture/quote in case of uneccesary optimism and general fanboist/conspiracy theories. C wut I did thar?
