    Yea abit but still looks better than TOR :)

     

    Sadly I agree. Tor have to compete with 2007 games when it comes to graphics.

    To be fair Wow took mos tof it's artistic queues amongst a lot of other stuff from the Warhammer tabletop/miniature gmes as has bene discussed many.many...MANY times before.So it inevitable that there will b elots of similarities artstyle wise.

     

    Whilst it was nice tha tthat trailer looked to be done all in the game engine rather thna CGI,I think it's a little soon to be callign ti the greatest game ever made or evne good being that it realy didn't show case any details in game play or how instanced it is etc.

    Funny. At first I thought this was some spoof, the graphics made me think very much of a 'WoW in the future', a scifi WoW.

     

    I'd expected the graphics to be more like the Dawn of War series. I guess we'll see when more info is released.

    Oh so true.  Hell, Cryptic managed to pull a miracle out of the hat and make Star Trek Online look ZOMFG!Mega!Amazing!, showing that even a complete turkey can be made to look good for a few seconds.

    I always thought WoW borrowed from the Bros Hildebrant artworks like everything else.

    It's probaly because you may not have ever played any of Games Workshop's table-top games and seen the artwork that has it's foundations some 20 years before Blizzard made WoW. The post above yours speaks to this as well.

    Looks good. Could be a litte more gritty and dark I agree. One question though.. where the hell is my Tau!?

     

    Will be nice getting a little more information about game mechanics and stuff.

  • PilnkplonkPilnkplonk Member Posts: 1,532

    Hmm... in the trailer I can see only Marines and Orks... I have a bad feeling about this... I won't let it get to me tho....

    Still waiting for the official presentation.

    If this turns out to be a 2-faction thing with (gasp) emphasis on "story" and PvE....

    I just hope to god they didn't draw all the WRONG conclusions on why WAR failed..

  • KorithianKorithian Member Posts: 243

      While the graphics looked a little cartoonish the action looked amazing. That really looks like they are pushing the MMO to the next level with flying and vehicle combat and just the scope and the real feeling of battle.

     

       I think this could be the biggest title of 2011 where we get real combat and a real feeling of being in the thick of a fire fight. Can't wait to see more.

  • Grotar89Grotar89 Member UncommonPosts: 347

    Hope we get open world pvp with 3 factions :)

    edit: to above poster its 2012

  • VoltlivesVoltlives Member Posts: 280

    Well what do you know, it's a trailer with game footage!  Nothing earth shatttering about the graphics but it is 40k so I am excited to see it.  I love it but where are the Eldar?  Regardless will be checking it out.

     

    END OF LINE_

    In the trailer there are Chaos Marines (Khorne), Space Marines (Black Templars) and Space Orkz. That's 3 factions right there. The only worry as I see it is that THQ/Vigil starts the artificial alliance crap that Mythic did with WAR.

    All armies fight all armies.

    That's the way to do it.

    My major hope is that THQ gets the fact that you have to have a balance of PVP and PVE both have to be fun and have to be engaging you can't pull a mythic and turn our a half assed PVP and a what the fuck this is so lame PVE game. that is the road to fail

    It's not only about the character design, orcs and all that. We know that war was a strong influence for blizz. It's the overall cartoonish look. I've seen warhammer artworks a lot and many are really strong and dark.

    I know, right? The game looks almost exactly like DOW1 - 2, and yet folks complain it looks like WoW. It looks nothing like WoW. The art style is completely different, and those who can't tell otherwise honestly should go see an optometrist.

    Honsetly, the whole, 'It looks like WoW DURRRR', being used to insult things is getting really, really old.

    ^ this.

    Plus, the "starting" 3 factions are also the most popular table-top factions. Based on sales at least.

    Also, I thought I saw some IG in there. May have been scout marines though.

    Anyway, I so excited. That's the alpha footage ( I presume) and it already looks amazing. I have such high hopes for this game. I hope that a GW IP finally gets the love and attetion it deserves.

  • AtakAtak Member Posts: 82

    very nice.

     

    I hope it has good depth and customization/content for unique gameplay experiences

     

    I like Tau's and Space Marines but i dont know jackshit about w40k, i just like to kill orcs and elves with space badasses.

  • YilelienYilelien Member UncommonPosts: 324

    Looks good to me. I will have to put this game on my watch list and hope that it turns out good!

     Disney maybe, but i don't see the brothers Hildebrant in anything WoW, the brothers had a lot more of a life-like quality to there works, when i look at WoW graphics I see a Disney style art,( not that theirs anything wrong with that ) the Warhammer online artwork was a little bit like The Brothers H, but most likely because all the warhammer artist all grew up being influenced by the Brothers H, from the book artwork to the calendar artworks etc. that werre around at the time.

    Just a bit of speculation, but I don't believe the Marines are Black Templars.  The icon's right, but the colors are all wrong... I suspect this will prove to be a new chapter created specifically for the MMO, ala the Blood Ravens from Dawn of War.  Probably even a successor Chapter to Black Templars, hence the shared Icon.  Though according to 40K lore there is that Black Templar Crusade that went off into space hunting Ghagzhkull Thraka, maybe it's these guys and they picked up a new color scheme along the way?  Looking forward to learning more!

    Also: I'm hoping the gameplay's more action twitch like Tabula Rasa than anything else... while most of that game sucked, I did love running around with a shotty and blowing the crap out of things.
