Viking: Battle for Asgard still looks incredible

Sure, we've played games with basically the same premise, location and enemies as Viking: Battle for Asgard, but one thing's for certain, we haven't grown tired of them yet. Battle for Asgard is shaping up to be a must-buy, and with The Creative Assembly, which is responsible for the excellent Total War series, at the helm, we're confident that it will deliver the goods.
The game has a spring 2008 release date, which is great, because we should finally be finished with our immense backlog of games to devote our attention to it.

looks nice, but only 'cause it's not from sega selfmade :p

Some scenes looked great, others (like the beginning when they all pull out their swords and the animation is EXACTLY the same) did not look so good. Why does this look like a must buy? Don't get me wrong, it does look cool, but must buy? Don't know yet...

Awesome. This looks great. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

ummm this game is such a rip off of lord of the rings its unreal.... I havent seen such a rip off of LOTR since that last trailer for project offset.

Umm, except that it's nothing like LotR. What are these similarities that you think are such a rip off? Wheres the ring or item at that is pretty much the story?

So...is it a bad sign when the gameplay in a trailer looks repetitive?
Darkdrium777 @ Dec 12th 2007 10:14PM
I have to agree, the beginning of the trailer isn't very impressive at all... But at the end it gets a little better...
The graphics do not look so great from up close though, but it might just be the video compression.

Right not because Nordic Mythology is like 3,000 years old or anything? Or that the Lord of the Rings was heavily based off Nordic Mythology? Nope it's CA's fault. Geniuses...

Wow, you guys really need to work on your spam filters. How about a captcha or something, maybe at least slow these guys down a bit.

I hope your in charge of an army and not just that one Viking, will be totally stupid if you are just one guy, may as well play heavenly sword or god of war.
