Mythic Releases New Cinematic Trailer for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
August 20, 2008

Mythic Entertainment unveils a new cinematic trailer for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR).The new trailer brings the Age of Reckoning to life in stunning detail and showcases the ongoing conflict between the armies of Order and Destruction, the catalyst for WAR’s groundbreaking Realm vs. Realm gameplay.

Set against the backdrop of a city under siege, a devious Goblin Squig Herder, mutating Chaos Marauder, and deadly Dark Elf Sorceress lead the invading hordes of Destruction in the assault on the city of Altdorf. Rallying the forces of Order in defense of their capital are the noble High Elf Shadow Warrior, fiery Empire Bright Wizard, and stalwart Dwarf Engineer. To the victors go the spoils of war; to the defeated, utter annihilation.

i like the humor of Warhammer, how the Squig herder 'motivated' his pet, how you saw Orcs flying against the walls and roofs of buildings :p

 

and the dark elf chick was hot

Think the subtitle is big enough? Heh..

I really love the trailer as well. The missed Orcapult shot, the Squig Herder, with his face surrounded by a squig helmet, mimicing the squig's "GRARARARAW" sound... just little hints of humor that lets this game maintain it's very real, gritty feeling without inundating people with it.

And the fights are just great! Though it is hard to tell who has the advantage... though Destruction does have the big bird thing, we never do see the Squig Herder or Marauder recover from their wounds like the Bright Wizard does...

There, fixed the subtitle some, it automatically carried over the formating from the press release.

To bad the game is nothing like that. Like, at all.

Yeah, too bad the game isn't like the pre rendered cut scene that every game has, that takes thousands of computer hours to render frame by frame.

Eh ? we see almost all the classes in the videos fighting each others.  Of course if you expect a game to be like a cinematic, that aint going to happen.   Very nice video.

That's why it's called a cinematic trailer, not a gameplay trailer...
