Ok.. I think this pretty much confirms it.. Blizzard just can not make a shitty game. I was skeptical about them making a MMORPG, but after seeing this video I think my fears are set aside. This is far and away the most amazing footage of an MMORPG I have ever seen. Far better than SWG and that was impressive. The other games better start shaking in their boots, cuz WoW is going to wow them all (yeah, lame I know, but pun was intended)...

It doesnt seem like a lot of you guys criticizing this game have played any mmorpg games at all. The games are like this because they HAVE to....you cant have details like you would see in UT2003 when you have literally hundreds of players and NPC's on the screen and in one area at a time. Yes, that means that animations are cut back, and a lot of times there are less frames to each one. ITs the way these games are made, and are meant to play...if you want a game with real time combat that you controll in the mmo style get planetside.

hmmmm, the bit where the tiger 'hit' the guy, and the guy 'hit' the tiger back. They weren't anywhere near each other, looked totally canned. All the combat I saw consisted of attack, wait, get attacked, wait, attack. Final Fantasy/EQ style. The animation interpolations looked pretty rough in parts, too. The maps looked phenomenal. Utterly phenomenal. Sexual chocolate, no doubts.

But the combat, as I feared, has me a little concerned. I hope it's got a bit of action in the game, and isn't just an overtly simplistic dice roll RPG style deal. I mean, watching guys hit each other there, who weren't even near each other, and the animations didn't even show their hits landing. Didn't synch up right, and that's an important thing for me when it comes to immersion :~(

Oh well, wait until the beta to hear what it's like I guess.

One last thing though, how the fuck about that waterfall eh?

ouch.

The environments look amazing, but the battle sequences and animations look really laggy or unexciting. There's no real dynamic.

well looks like 3rd person and (attack wait) based to me. 2:30 into the clip they slipped up and you can see how the chase 3rd person camera will be like. I wish they showed how the game was going to be like from a gamer's perspective instead of that goofy camera scrolling around.

I dont see how so many ppl get upset at attack, wait style games. If you had a big ass halberd you shouldn't be able to attack 2 times in a row super fast. EQ is realtime, Daoc is realtime, WarcraftWorld is realtime. Just you cant attack super fast. Its not collision based like quake, but its directional and positional(distance). It would be impossible to make a game like quake with the amount of ppl MMORPGs have in one zone (map) at a time. EQ has 200+ ppl all in one room sometimes.

I'm really looking forward to this, yet really scared of it at the same time, much for the same reason I fear other MMORPG's: waste of time/money. Although, from what I remember, they are trying to design shorter quests so that you don't have to play for 6(+) hours in a row just to get somewhere. That'd be a good thing as historically I have little-to-no self control with these types of games, I'm one of those 'have to break and throw out the CD to quit' people.

Asheron's Call 2 has a max population (most popular days) of ALMOSt 6,000. It's failing horribly and I hope it does due to the way they run the game and AC1 was poorly managed and rules were hardly enforced.

Blizzard is great when it comes to enforcing rules (Diablo2 bannings and you don't even pay to play on the servers). I can't wait for a company that actually enforces there rules.

looks mostly impressive. excellent style and artwork as you would expect from blizzard.

combat could look a little more chaotic, maybe if they'd just tweak up the combat animations so that more of the idle time in between attacks is taken up by some type of recovery animation (bringing the sword back around for another swing or something). as it is, it's swing. wait a little while. swing again.

most attacks looked like they connected. just the one with the tiger that somebody mentioned looked a little off.

i'd still like to see this in the diablo universe (or starcraft as an fps), but the warcraft style is a little more stylized, and therefore less demanding as far as graphical detail is concerned (not saying this doesn't have great detail.)
