I actually thought the screenshot was from WoW when I first glanced over it.....

Just watched some of the video..... its brutal how bad it copied WoW, like the animations, graphics, character menu, combat. It literally looks exactly like WoW.

Most definitely a WoW clone and it looks like a run of the mill boring one.

I like the clean layout of the minimap though.

@SlaviksG what? No... WoW and SWTOR are like night and day as far as game-play and visuals are concerned. What the heck is wrong with you people? Why is every single MMO suddenly a clone?
Because it has a skill tree? Because it has a mini-map? Because it has zones? Because it has instances? Holy cow.

Visually, yes. The games look absolutely nothing alike. However, SWTOR plays ALOT like WoW and not the WoW we know now with all its updates and expansions, but vanilla WoW. The gameplay is extremely dated.

@XenoSage @RAD_RADIO @SlaviksG and yet its always a WoW clone... considering there was MMO's before WoW that had all those things..... i'll stick to it all being a PacMan clone!

stop crying about wow clone, wow was not the first MMO but still, wow cloned any other mmo (maybe wow was an improvement in MMO's)...... what? really? any MMO if its a clone or not, try it first, if you like it, play it if not, just quit and try another...

@Rooten Who's crying?!

Yes we all know WoW wasn't the first MMO and yes they borrowed from previous games but they did make a unique game with its own style and just because you can't see that all these korean games are attempts at carbon copying their success, rather than taking good ideas and improving on them, doesn't mean others don't.


I know for instance that a lot of elements from Ragnarök Online are present in WoW. But let's face it WoW and RO are two very different games.Blizzard simply took, what they thought was good ideas and made them better. This game here however is clearly an attempt at blatantly copying the visual and gameplay styles of WoW straight off.

@Saketume @Rooten I was about to say... this game looks almost nothing like wow, nor does the game-play reflect any resemblance to it, other than the fact that they are fighting...

I'm amazed at the lack of critical distinction people have for these kinds of things. Maybe because I'm an artist I notice these things, I don't know :/

@Saketume @Rooten  What about the fact that this clearly draws huge inspiration from asian styles and mythology? The character he starts playing is clearly styled after an oni. I also would say that though the cartoonish style is similar it is not the same.

Hehe, I was a G-Star (Korean Gaming Convention) and the person at the Asta Booth gave me a video card cos I got one of their questions right.

@ksdlassAh man that is nice :D

What card was it? And what was the question?


Unrelated -- The starting tune of this video instantly made me think of this old thing from the Amiga demo scene:

(Stupid youtube video or emulators doesn't do it justice)

@Saketume It was a GeForce GTX 660 and the question was what race is the player in the image.(was some fox race I think)
