wookiee · May 2006

Why is every new game a clone of something else?

Why dont you go do some research and determine what it is for yourself

Clicky!

Not a clone of anything. The Warhammer Universe has been around for going on 25 yrs. It will probably have aspects of a few fantasy games out there, most notably DAoC, but will also bring some fresh ideas to the table.

Shayde · May 2006

Yeah.. if anything, WoW was a clone of them.

Oh, and EQ blows. There I've said it.

EQ II did suck...Guild Wars=Dead End...and WoW just got old. Man, I need something fresh. Crossing my fingers on this one...

It's a PvP based game, the majority of MMO's out right now are PvE based, either entirely or with PvP stapled on as an after thought. The developer said in an interview that they want WAR to be 80% RvR (thier type of PvP) and about 20% PvE at the end game.

angerr · May 2006

from what i have read you could probably compare it to daoc, only because its the same developers and the rvr...

ok..i hate when people say that wow is a clone of them..thats just retarded.

you may say that the war craft world is a clone of the warhammer world...BUT anything to do with the way the game is...would be a clone.

Stumminator · May 2006

eh, i take both as seperate and distinctly fun universes. the WoW is what i was weaned on so it will always have a soft spot in my heart; but i think the way blizz handled wow just shows their inexperience to the core. it had great potential, just some very poor decisions were made that ruined the game for me *pvp stuff* so i'm really digging on warhammer, had to download the 40k strat games and read up on some stuff to figure everything out but oh man am i stoked! me an da boyz are gon' crush you fleshie hummies!

all games are clones of all games man, ALL MMROPGs are clones of the first MMORPG on the market, so get over it.

if you're looking at it from a non-clone prespective, then you can see there's a huge amount of similarities between all games, mobs with different looks doing the same thing over and over, what's the difference ? non.

what's different is the new look, new experience ( which degrades with time ) which ends up later being boring and a new demand for new stuff will occure, again, so get over it.

"you may say that the war craft world is a clone of the warhammer world...BUT anything to do with the way the game is...would be a clone."

WAR will be nothing like WOW.

Pantastic · May 2006

From what I've read, it's like what I was hoping WOW would be after a month or so of playing.

In my opinion we should treat each MMORPG as an individual game, not a clone. This game will definantly not be a WoW clone considering the makers of this game (Mythic) have been in the MMORPG world before their coming along to it. If you want to compare this game to anything I would compare it to DAoC (Dark ages of Camelot), the some of us who have played DAoC know that mythic has a gift in creating a very good pvp system (which we called RvR due to the 3 realms in DAoC) and will keep you hooked, if you want to get some kind of taste of whats to come your either going to have to get DAoC to see what I say is true, or you can just believe me and the other Mythic players and trust that Warhammer will be one of the top MMORPGS out there!

I can garentee you will love the PvP system they set up for this game!

Just buy WoW and play it for a year. When this game comes out you'll be able to pass it by.

Its WoW with a nicer trailer

Here we are... again... another WoW fan boy tring to dumb down a up and coming game, that has not for one second looked at this game, deciding he wanted to flame the game he spotted this thread the word clone and clicked.

To pretend to be blind must be bliss, this is the sort of person that hypes the games at 1 incase its better than WoW... *Sigh*

I am a WoW player, I have 3 level 60 and countless others in there 40's and 50's I've been to MC and BWL seen it and got the T-Shirt, the reqirment for co-op play in those end game is somthing that I enjoy, getting there and party please? no your soloing, you think its faster that way, okay fine, thats the joke. I do enjoy solo, but why when you can team up and do things with people you can talk to or make friends with (Hell rolled a preist in the end and now I get it all teh time).

The fact is though this game has everything going for it, to say it is a clone, as some one has pointed out, would be to DAoC, and the RvR system, everything else there doing, there trying to do fresh, and as said "make a game thats right for everyone" and "Learned from previous mistakes" are two key points that this will be an MMO from a top developer that have brought somthing new to the table in turms of PvP.

I dont think W.A.R. will be a clone of any other game.

The warhammer lore is about 25 years old! Where do you think Blizzard got their orc models?

Mystic will do a great job, they work hand in hand with GW and they take care of their game!

Yeah, the warcraft world is sort of a copy of Warhammer. The races in wow are drawn from what Warhammer has had, but the lore is different.

Warhammer is far far older than Warcraft, and Mythic entered the MMORPG genra business a long time before Blizzard did. Warcraft and Warhammer have many similarities, but you certainly couldn't call one a clone of the other since Warcraft 3 was released.

They are a clone of eachother as much as they are a clone of LoTR. They share foundations.

Just appreciate all the people who get so upset over games. They get upset because they really love them, and that's something that should be celebrated. I just hate when people start attacking each other calling each other trolls and fanbois, something I too have been guilty of.

Warhammer Online is not going to be anything like EQ2, which is an amazing game in its own right. Warhammer has a small amount of similarity to WoW's graphics, but not really. Warhammer is looking to be very fantastical but also quite grim and realistic.

It's going to be its own game, with one of the best developers and publishers of games, Mythic, you could ever hope for.
