Warhammer Online Video Looks Suspiciously Like Warcraft
Wired has an interesting take on the new Warhammer online game coming out soon, that it's too WoW like. Considering that WoW steals much of its basic structure from Warhammer, that is to be expected. However to the many players that don't know that Warhammer has been around for over 25 years, is this going to be too much similarity? Or, is the similarity good and will it help take people across to a new MMOG?
Alongside the January issue of their newsletter, EA Mythic tossed out a link to a video clip that demonstrates the hectic realm vs realm combat in Warhammer Online, which looks awfully familiar.
While the video does look nice, I'm honor-bound to point out two issues with it: it's heavily scripted and it looks so very similar to World of Warcraft.
