RVR video--Better graphics

Member UncommonPosts: 40
I just found an RvR video that has much better graphics than the one floating around in another thread. The video is taken by somebody with a camera recording the screen, so it is pretty choppy, (also doesn't really start doing anything for the first min) but even with the low quality video the graphics themselves look pretty good.

Wow, those graphics do look alot better. I think that confirms the post in the other thread was an outdated version of the beta.
Oh well, I'll still keep it up so people can see just how big Mythic describes RVR to be...

And that's still on low quality Youtube as well! That looks much better...see some of those comments? "Just walking around with your character seems awesome." Lol, I think that guy never played an MMO before. Still though!

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!"

Yeah! Now you are talking!!! that's definately a much better video. Makes me wana roll the alliance.... Me need horde side video!!!

I like the atmosphere quite a bit... it feels more like a world than some of my previous MMO ventures. The avatars also look "solid" when traveling and fighting. Despite the low quality of the tubed video, it does look good.
I have never enjoyed watching the video fly-throughs of RvR. Videos like this, that put you in the front seat gives me a better idea of what I can expect from WAR.
So far it looks like this game may actually be... fun?
Wow, I hate using the whole fanboi/troll thing. It bothers me, it really does. But come on people. In every combat clip that I've watched since the first one was ever released, it's just a bunch of different classes standing around, and every 3 or 4 seconds, they swing. Anyone who's played DAoC should be able to tell where they got their spell effects from. WoW Anti-gravity garbage. Characters look like they are floating along the surface, rather than actually running on it. The graphics are slightly better than WoW's and you guys are going nuts? Are you serious?
So now they are axing 1/3 of their classes, 2/3 of their cities and a bunch of other very vital things to the game... yet people still get excited over graphics that aren't even that great to begin with. Damn Blizzard for bringing in so many new gamers. Their only concept of an MMO is World of Warcraft.
It's so pathetic when people think 4/24 is ONE THIRD. Go back to school and learn some damn math, please. At least you got the cities right DAS1337. Besides that, the rest is your opinion and there's plenty of people who will have fun playing it with "Anti-Gravity" garbage and "3-4 second boring combat".

If you compare this video to the 1 being posted here : www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/189776, i believe like me you will be more relieve about the graphic.
Personally i dont need graphic that's so beautiful like AoC, but a much better than WoW will do, like you said.
And if you do play Daoc, Eq2, Lotr, WoW, the graphic here, imo, is better.
Concerning the floating etc... they will iron all that out before release.
And reagrding the cutting of cities class..... yes im sad, but i still loook forward to playing it, unless you can name me a better mmo.....

I can’t say anything about the graphics due to the poor video quality, but gameplay seems good/great.
Movement is better too. Maybe it’s time to pre-order my CE box
PS. Did you see any Orc Choppa? A Black Guard maybe…?
and from what i hear graphics do not hinder your performance at all. I read somewhere that someone who was using a 5200+ amd with an 8800gt was getting 80-120 fps with the debugger on non optimized coding. So unlike aoc....this will have really good (not great like aoc) with great fps
THE FINAL LIGHTING SYSTEM IS NOT IN YET. NOT EVEN THE BETA TESTERS HAVE SEEN THE FINAL GRAPHIC BUILD.
I don't know how many times you must stress a point for someone to understand it... good lord. People are playing the game for their first time... they don't know what buttons and skills to use, hence why it looks slow. And the spell effects actually remind me of DAoC, considering, you know, the same guy who did the spell effects in DAoC is doing the spell effects again in WAR.
How the hell is 4 out of 24 classes 1/3 of the classes? Fortresses have been put in place of the other capital cities, and you still need to sack both fortresses before you can capture Altdorf or the Inevitable City. And the content has NOT been cut, only delayed from the launch of the game.
If you think this is anything like World of Warcraft, have you been following the development of this game, at all?

I posted this video simply to show that the graphics are improved over another video released by IGN recently, (that was the topic of another thread) to show that whining about crappy graphics, animations, gameplay etc, based on video clips before the NDA is lifted is stupid. Nobody ever said this clip shows the final build (which it doesn't) or that the gameplay shown here was a great representation of the game. This was shot over the shoulder of some guy at an event who probably didn't know what the heck he was doing with this char. What it does show is a noticeable improvement over the other video--I'm sure there will be more to come that are an improvement over this.
I love how people think it makes them look cool when they say fanboi or troll. When someone doesn't like something, they are a troll, no matter how sensible it is. If someone likes something, they are a fanboi, even if from a completely unbiased point of view. There are definitions to these terms, some of you do know that right?
To this poster. You point may have been talking about graphics. But since when did a game with good graphics even do anything without gameplay? I won't wait long, because I know you have no answer to that. If you show me a video, I'm going to comment on it. I commented on it. I still see stale combat, bad animations, horrible DAoC spell effects and anit-gravity settings. Those are things that I don't like. The environments are cool.. and the character models are pretty decent. So am I a fanboi because I like the models and atmosphere and a troll for not liking animations and crappy combat? Or does it seem like I'm actually being pretty logical with my stance on these things?
By the way, I didn't mean 1/3 of the classes, 6 is conveniently positioned above 3, so unfortunately I made a mistake.. and I rarely pay much attention. The idea is still there.. they can't even finish their classes and cities on time.. but I do have to say, if they make good on their other promises, it might beat out AoC.. though right now, that wouldn't be very hard.

No one has seen dx10 from AoC either, and it's nearly 2 months after release.. who's to say WAR will deliver?
I know you probably made a mistake.. but how can I give you any credit when at the end of your reply, you claim that I said WAR is like WoW. Because... I mean, you even quoted my post.. I obviously didn't say that. I'm not going to repeat what I said.. However, it is obvious that I was speaking of the typical gamer mentality after the emergence of WoW.
Don't give me they are playing for their first time BS. I played AoC PvP weekend for my first time and I was still able to use several different spells and abilities consecutively. The first time I played WoW, I actually did fairly well. I mean, anyone playing there probably has some sort of video game background on a PC. They've probably played a game where you actually had to move your mouse and press buttons. No? Does every person that goes to a convention only know how to press 1 button? Are they forced at gunpoint to a 1 button maximum? Please.
Anyway, getting back on topic..!!
There's an interview interspersed with HD gameplay footage incase you guys had missed it.
uk.pc.ign.com/dor/objects/748723/warhammer-online-age-of-reckoning/videos/warhammer_interview_062408.html;jsessionid=25jh1o7feqo41
Yes! HD talking heads.. and... crap low res horrible battle footage!
You had me fooled there for a second!
Looks about the same as it did when i tried it 6 months ago or so on D3.
It isn't an ugly game, it looks a lot like LOTRO in quality. The avatars looks a bit better even, but it does still have the same thing, that they don't really seem to fit in with the background in the same way as Wow. But it isn't very beutiful either, don't expect it to look like AoC.
But the graphics isn't everything and it is step up from Wow. WAR will fall or win on it's gameplay, not on graphics anyways. The reason LOTRO didn't get bigger was cause it's gameplay wasnt good enough even though it had ok graphics and a really good world.
But I won't make any opinion on 20 mins play about the gameplay and the game is still in Beta, just relax (but saying it looks awesome is a bit to much for me, average is the right word). Still I did beta LOTRO a bit too and WAR felt a lot better the little time i tried it even though the start levels were a bit to similar to Wow for my taste.
Still WAR have a lot of pontential, hope it will be a great game.

First off, WAR is not putting emphasis on graphics. They are doing massive RVR battles, meaning 80+ people in one concentrated area all using flashy skills; they can't do graphics high end, and expect people's (average person) computers to be able to handle such a dense amount to process.
And yes, I made a mistake. However, what I meant to say was, you can't compare WoW's model to texture to this game yet, because all we've seen is low-res textures. Chances are, on high settings, you won't have that anti-gravity feeling.
So what you mean to tell me, is you understood WoW PVP as soon as you began playing?
I played a WARRIOR, and boy, did it take time for me to learn how to play my class effectively in PVP. Switching stances, zooming from person to person charging, hamstringing the DPS while chasing the healer, it's far from easy. That's wonderful that the weekend you played AoC you got it right off the bat, but I hate to break it to you: everyone is not like you. Some people like to analyze the skills and see which is better for use before just hitting buttons at random.

Games like WOW are not about graphix either. Its about the gameplay. Thats why the abilites of characters are actually intresting and long lasting. It doesn't matter if you play a warrior or a warlock. You will gain new things and learn new ways to use your characters as you lvl. Thats why WOW is populare. And it has good enough graphix and sound to deliver the true feel of a true universe that is exiting and enjoyable to play.
This is where AOC totally fails. On all fronts. Abilites of the classes - boring.... Gameplay... well... its not there. Funcom considered the pretty paintings that are far away (landscape you can't reach) to be more important than the acutal gameplay. Now.. What WAR will do ?
MMOs need to capture something to make the world become alive. Its a blend of sound, graphix, animations and abilites. And all this has to be there WITHOUT taking anything away from each other. This is what WOW did perfectly. THis is where AOC faiiled perfectly. War will not get it perfect at the start but hopefully open beta will give enough feedback to actually bind these features together and make it worth playing for more than 30 days. Will WAR be able to deliver ? I hope so cause but belive you me. I will not be playing a MMO game for a whole year (or 3) that just looks awsome. THere are so many other things that have the same importance.
Oh noes! There comes the debugger again. We are up for some funny months ahead of us!
WoW's gameplay thoroughly irked me. I mean the classes were cool and the begining was great the first couple of times I played it. But the focus on super Gear Itemization and Raids pissed me off. If you weren't into Gear Hunting / Grinding there was pretty much no reason to play WoW...still pretty much the same now. Its all about the gear. Atleast with WAR its all about the war and fighting which is something WARcraft is missing. They should of named it GearCraft or maybe RaidCraft.
Yea if you play by yourself or one or two rare like minded people you don't seem to notice or care about the gear grind but it realy just kills it for me knowing there was all this content i could never enjoy because it required a total bunch of bullshit grinding to get to it or required me to be in a guild in order to do it. WAR doesn't require you to be in anything to do anything. You can just SHOW up and do it and still play with others at the sametime without forcing anything.
WAR is atleast eliminating that particular gear grind. If I want to Siege I can show up and Siege. If I want to fight for land or keep control I can show up and do that. If I want to wander around and PvE or look for hidden things I can do that. The amount of achievement choices & progression paths to keep me involved are numerous its whats bringing me back to MMOs. I dont have to sacrifice myself to some raid god and hope I get lucky for once.
WoW is great for the casual player who likes little depth and alot of gear and great for the raider who likes to feel elite. For anyone who's experienced more its a huge let down of a game despite how well its launch went and how highly polished it was.
Sorry WoW is ultimately a BAD game to compare WAR too as a whole. Now if you want to compare WoW's casual PvE, polish, and ability to run on alot of machines to WAR that totally works. But class wise, PvP wise, hell even End Game wise...they don't compare at all.
WoW is ultimately a shallow game when it comes to all its systems. Even its Guild system is shallow and pale in comparison to OTHER games including WAR.
Oh noes! There comes the debugger again. We are up for some funny months ahead of us!
umm no because unlike AoC....WAR runs EXTREMELY well. But you be the judge of it in the coming months. But i can say, i am not worried about performance at all
