It’s WarHAMMER, not WarCRAFT, ya Geddit?!

See, we gamers get it.

Warhammer and WoW are not the same. So… how come this gameplay video of Warhammer Online looks so much like WoW?

Kotaku took a vid of a Warhammer Online gameplay at PAX, but with the exception of the dwarf running around in circles brandishing a hammer against an “Untrustworthy Tarak,” it really feels less like its own game and more like something following in the footsteps of WoW.

Of course, we could say the same for every game that came after the very first MMO, but WoW managed to grab mass appeal by refining a lot of rough edges. We only hope that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will do something that will distinguish itself from the competition upon release.
