Anyone else noticed this? I don't think that's the case. But if you look at the horns of the warlock, you'll see what I mean when you look at the horns of the chaos career chosen ;)

    I think you mean the "style," because although there are some similarities between the styles of the two games, the graphics are much improved in Rift.

    That was an example. The ground is another example. But I like the style, so I'm starting to like the game as well ;)

    Nahhh Warhammer Online's graphics were absolutely atrocious... especially in the environment department. Rift's graphics on the otherhand look quite nice, gonna keep this one on my radar.

    Hmmm... no, they don't at all.

    Could be because Adam Gershowitz is a producer over at Trion.  Adam worked on the latter years of DAoC, LOTRO, and Warhammer Online...always in the art department.  With his schooling and training and awards he's recieved, it's easy to say he's one of the best in the business.

    Or it could be that the art of the Warhammer Fantasy IP has influenced the look of fantasy for the better part of...25+ years.  Like orcs, being green with tusks for canine teeth, that's 100% Warhammer design.  Any fantasy game with Orcs that look like that (which is pretty much all of them) copied Warhammer's Orcs.

    Woah, that must be it.

    I will agree that Rift prob has better graphics, but some of the styles is very similar :)

    Hehe, good thing I'm not alone. I don't say it's a bad thing. I like it! :)

    The styles may be somewhat similar but Warhammer had HORRIBLE graphics in general.  The textures and detail of the terrain were awful and it looks like they spent a full day doing the textures for the character models.

    I believe that Rift has a lot better graphics than WAR but yes the character styles are somehow similar, a fact which i don't find very significant gameplay wise. I was kinda let down when i saw the ranger video with the bad animation but then again i hope that they will fix it cause it is still in Alpha. Overall, this is the game i am waiting for. I believe that it will be a lot better than SWTOR.

    TBH, graphics isn't everything, so I believe SWTOR will be huge. This game looks interesting. But go SWTOR :)

    Graphics wise Rift might be better than SWTOR, but let's see about gameplay ;)

    It was bad animation for ONE PET, i seriously dont understand why people are making such a big deal out of it.  You can easily see from the other 2 videos and that very same video that the character animations are nice and fluid, the mobs are nice and fluid, etc.

    Mate relax, who said its a big deal? At least personally speaking, i don't care much about the graphics or the animations. History shows that the simpler the graphics, the better the gameplay :) It was solely a statement because the animation in the PARTICULAR video was not one of the best around. And just for the record,YES, Rift has some of the nicest graphics.
