Mythic Entertainment released a video today showing off what some of the Realm vs Realm and Siege warfare action is going to look like in WAR. Just based on the scale of the combat and the amount of different things going on in the video – keeping things running smoothly performance wise is going to be a big challenge for Mythic.
Not to mention the system specs, that video looks like a partical effect fest. Just about every class has some cool glowy thing going on with beams of this and bursts of that shooting out of just about every orafice on the screen. Don’t get me wrong, looks bad ass but damn what kind of system are we going to need to run this? Is it in the ballpark of an AoC capable system or somewhere between AoC and WoW? My guess is it’s in the AoC or better range, which sucks because that means I’m going to need to buy an all new rig.
On the flip side, some of the cools things I noticed in the video that I wasn’t to sure about. It seemed that the players up on top of the keep firing down had a very long range. I remember reading about this in AoC, giving players elevated a range bonus but I wasn’t aware the WAR was taking the same approach, which I would rate in the plus category (unless I’m attacking lol). This game is definitely going to have me buying new equipment though, I’m just waiting for official word on system requirements before I do.
Any beta testers out there want to let us know what they are running it on? I know, I know…NDA. I guess you wouldn’t have to tell us how it runs on your system per say….just don’t comment if it runs like crap. Problem solved.
