So they’ve taken the Savage 2 idea and expanded it? (And dressed it in a Warhammer skin.)

along with integrated deathmatch-like battles (up to 32 by 32 players)

Wouldn’t that be 1024 players?

Reminded me a tad of Painkiller. Sounds like a nice concept, should be interesting to see if it gets a good community behind it on release.

Reminded me of Labyrinth (the film). And Flash Gordon with the moving floor bit. And Overlord in places. Oh, and WAR! obviously. Any of those Mr. Rossignol? Or were you just being sarcastic?

Looks possibly promising, if the fighting’s any fun. It seems unlikely that those two sets of fellow lined on up without a bit of training though. Unless they’re some sort of pet, which could be amusing.

It looks like WSG to me, hahaha.

I agree that the framerate drops were indicative of the CryEngine.

If I ewre to play that game, I sure learned one thing from that video – play Ranged!

They describe it as “a symbiosis between RPG and classic multiplayer – huge interactive world, NPCs, solo and team quests, along with integrated deathmatch-like battles (up to 32 by 32 players).” More here:

I’m guessing 3rd person, controlling a single character (with maybe NPC support sometimes, like in Guild Wars). Hard to be sure though. Screenshots look pretty at least.

OMG! It’s the bastard child of Guild Wars and Warhammer! :o Which could end up being either fun and geektastic or generic and puke-inducing.

EDIT: One thing I didn’t get – does the player control his whole team of orcy-looking beasties, or just one guy as in every other third-person action-rpg?

looks like a tolken-esk TF2 in a gladiator arena — same thought crossed my mind

And holy crap, does this look great! FPS drops and lag-fest — yeah, probably, but you have got to give this credit for looking so beautiful.

looks like a tolken-esk TF2 in a gladiator arena,. may have been “recorded during actual fight on the test arena” but that is not ‘game camera’ as it would be unplayable,. may be a 3rd person game though,. would make sense with all that character detail,. wunder how it will play?
