New Gameplay Video of Warhammer Online
In the latest Warhammer Online newsletter, Mythic have released a video showing what Realm vs. Realm combat will (somewhat) look like when the game is released (they took out magic spells). As soon as you watch it, you’ll see that it looks very much like a high-end World of Warcraft. That’s only fair, since Warcraft’s storyline is pretty much a ripoff of Warhammer anyway.
Others have tried to mimic WoW’s addictive gameplay, and fail. However, if Mythic can pull off what may essentially be “everything you like about WoW, and nothing you don’t like” and have it relatively bug-free, I can see a lot of people jumping ship. Go to Mythic’s beta site and sign up right away, the character collisions look great.. We need a team of LAMP’ers to really test this thing out. I really like (and I think Gary would agree) the whole concept of Realm-vs-Realm combat with real consequences… This is MUCH more appealing than lame and extremely linear battleground combat, where people run around like idiots, or sit idle, leeching points from the team.
Check out the video below (550×319), or head over to Mythic for the full-res version (800×464).
