It actually said in an interview they weren't trying to make a WOW, just a bloody MMO!AceAngel said:
Why the fuck is everyone screaming "WOW COPY" or something similar when someone tries to make a decent MMO? Thats like saying "COD COPY!" for every single FPS out in the market.
Ahem, I saw both, it looks awesome. I'm really looking forward to Space Marine (hugs Xbox360) I want to try out the Warhammer 40,000 MMO

Dark Millennium looks good, but it's gonna take a lot to convince me to ditch SW:TOR.
I'm interested in the Space Marine game, but the MMO just looks too cartoony. 40k invented the Grimdark Fantasy setting, and this would be the equivalent of putting googly eyes on a Khorne Berserker (Which I've seen, and it's hilarious, but it breaks the mood.)
In the old days, I'd say that I'll reserve final judgement on a game until I had it in my hands, and played it myself. In the case of MMOs, however, I'm forced to say that I'll reserve finaly judgement until I get to endgame, or a reasonably facsimile thereof.
It looks like it has potential. I'll say that. Though if I can't play as an Eldar, I won't bother, given that I've been playing my Eldar long enough that GW's target audience wasn't BORN when I started.
There are a lot of questions regarding classes, progression, gameplay mechanics, etc, that obviously aren't going to be answered by a 90 second video clip.

Interesting problem they've got on their hands. Maybe from the start all the races will have different quests to level them out of their starting, so Space Marines will start as Scouts and have a hard slog from the get-go to match their elite status, whereas Guardsmen players will fight it out until they become Stormtroopers or something like that. Either that or Guardsmen are going to need extremely fast access to stronger weaponry than their crappy lasguns.SakSak said:
Anyone know if the Space Marine armour is going to be customisable? It'd be all kinds of awesome to be able to play as an actual Space Wolf rather than pretending to be a Space Wolf that's wearing Ultramarine armour.
I really hope Space Marine turns out to be good. I've wanted a game like it to come out for a long time.
Well you know how it works. Every MMO is a WoW clone. Just like every shooter is a Halo clone.
Also if you say anything different you are a communist and you hate America and Freedom and will burn in hell like AceAngel said.
On a lighter note: wooohoooo! Mechanicus xD

Stop it mate, if you notice what I said, I said the GUI, not the gameplay. I was expecting a much darker and W40K themed GUI, what it looks like now is what every single WoW clone has. bright colored, at the top, and single grade colors. Small nitpicky issue, but hey, whatever fits your bill. Everyone wants an MMO which is the same as WoW, to overlap the market it posses, kinda like Tabula Rasa did and failed.Nouw said:
And yes, almost all FPS games are copy of each other, out the few couple of dozen which try something new.
Back to this statement and before, we all heard that one before. AoC came in, Cabal Online, Warhammer Online and even a few others, all promised 'new elements' all which failed or filled a small niche market at BEST...Mr.Black said:
Warhammer doesn't look like a WoW clone at ALL, but if your want your MMO to make loads of money, then you need to homogenize it a little-bit to fit your bill and pull many of the useless cake-holes from that game.
Okay so in my quote you say it is a 'generic WoW GUI'ified game' but in the one below mine it says 'Warhammer doesn't look like a Wow clone at ALL' Mixed messages? Anyway I see your point, they could of grimed it up a bit more. (Must resist from telling AceAngel about RTS GUI)AceAngel said:
GUI =/= Gamplay. Gameplay looks fine, GUI and interaction methods do not (at least from the video).Nouw said:
Also, Storm Rise and Goblin Commander would like to say 'Hi', maybe even End-War since although they're classified as RTS game, I doubt that the GUI system looked anything like it.
