Video was awesome. I think it might make a better movie than a game.

EA have potential, but they do screw things up preety bad sometimes.

WoW is well establised, this warhammer game is going to have to offer something preety damn special...and, for EA's sake, lets hope that the majority of the RPG fans out there never played BF2...the patches...oh god the patches...

My suggestion would be C&C 3: Tiberium Wars, but I think you didn't like RTS games if I'm not wrong.  You should try this game.

LOTRO is surprisingly good from what I've read and heard, and these are well established stories with plenty of lore that all nerds and geeks enjoy. So I don't know, EA's games aren't that bad, but they definitely can screw up.

Too bad MMORPGs don't look anywhere close to the rendered preview crap they put out.

As far as an answer, noone will know until actual gameplay previews come out.

This is awesome. I played Warhammer and Warhammer 40k a lot (as an RPG also).
I only hate those monthly fees. It forces you to play or else you have paid for nothing.

But i agree with Sentinel. This should be a movie. But i would rather zee a 40K movie.
WH 40K has an very good story behind it, and could have huge battlescenes that would dwarf scenes from movies like the gladiator and Bravehart.

Three quick points about Warhammer: Age of Reckoning (WAR for short...)...

1) It's made by the lot who made Dark Age of Camelot... EA Mythic... Dark Age has been out for five years, is still making money and has a large playerbase, has 7 financially successful expansions released and EA Mythic have been a part of EA for a long, long time.

2) W:AR has that as an acronym for it's name for a good reason; it's focus is PvP unlike WoW's. It is designed almost entirely around "Realm vs. Realm" PvP. It will not be for the casual gamer crowd that WoW has targeted mostly.

3) Warhammer has a far more estabelished fan base than Blizzard did at WoW's launch. Haha, Blizzard doesn't have a monthly magazine; Games Workshop does.


I've been following WAR for a while and it does look good. Dig a little deeper Serge, the trailer doesn't show this games potential for the pvp mmo scene.

Oh and Sentinel... BF2's patches were fucked because the original dev team split after making the game and a different studio (DIce Montreal) made the patches from 1.2 onward... BF2 was fucked by office politics...
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I thought wow was pretty 'hardcore' as in people playing it all night etc?

FTW.

EA are actually decent game CREATORS (albeit a terrible publisher), just look at CNC Generals and CNC3:TW.

Nah, that is the hardcore MMO crowd right there. Most players DON'T do that.

An example would be; Silver.Inc (another member of the AU crew) and I...

I play WoW twice a week or so for about two hours. Normally on a Saturday morning or something.

Silver is never not playing WoW. I'm serious. In the last two weeks when ever I log onto Xfire he's on WoW. ALWAYS.

How the hell do you think Blizzard managed to out do every other MMO ever released and get 8 million + (last figure I heard, probably still rising...) subscribers?

It will start out buggy but entertaining.  In the process of fixing the bugs, EA will take all the fun out of playing the game. (If history serves as any guide)

I'm seriously considering The Lord of the Rings : Shadows of Angmar. It gives you the first month free, then I was going to try an additional month & if I like it I can pay a fee of $200 for lifetime membership.
I'd make a few crafters, max them out & start making money .
I'll report back with my findings after I finish a couple months.

Warhammer 40K Online would've been a better choice. Magical swords are pretty much nailed down.

The Warhammer tabletop (model) games can be turned into great games. Take Dawn of War for example. EA just took Warhammer fantasy, and gave it a good fucking + a deadly incurable sti.

Yes...

Ordo Xenos or Malleus Inquisitor... Grey Knights... Deathwatch Kill Teams... Chaos Marines... Tau... Orks...

Playing as any of those would rock.


Particularly Tau Shas'ui + Crisis XV8/Broadside suit in a PvP situation...

EDIT

For the record, if EA fucks this up on the publishing side of it, rather than the dev side I will carry out my many threats to blow up EA HQ... Mythic has a good track record, I'm confident they wont...

Here's hoping for an awesome PvP oriented MMO. Oh and the chaos lord beating the shit out of the priest at the end of that vid was awesome.

FOE DUH GREATUH GOOD!

But yes, WH40K would make for a much more unique MMO experience. I think pure swords and sorcery is already pretty much cornered for now.

As for the video, the kamikaze orks were the best. The rest of it was too random, and that freaking magic staff sounded like a Protoss structure getting put up.

Can you imagine the nerfing EVERYTHING in 40k would cop though?

I pity the poor fool who would play IG... Then again, they would have the Baneblades...

Actually... Fuck WAR, bring on a 40k MMOFPS... I want to blow the crap out of tanks with a broadside.
