Yea because runescape really looks like this

Link please, chrome isn't working with embeds at the moment :s

 

Link doesn't work...
EDIT: Lol people are gonna see the video, create accounts and log in and be like "wtf is this?"

 

This looks more like world of warcraft

 

It works for me, I'm using chrome if it's any consolation.
Anyway, maybe it will look like that. They might just be giving us a hint for the future

 

doesn't even preview any real gameplay. vid shows no comparison to actual game.

 

But then again how many MMO promotion vids and trailers actually portray the gameplay as it actually is?

I can only think of a few.

 

Wow, your sig is just so damn sexy...

OT: Yeah it's so beast looking from the trailer but when someone joins, it's not as good. Probably will be when free trade and old wildy come back?

 

hahaa, bit of untruthful advertising there jagex

 

Haha, thanks for the link edit

It looks nothing like Runescape at all, looks more like WoW.

 

its rare when trailers actually show gameplay... but still, even if this doesn't depict how runescape really is, it's still a pretty shit cheap looking trailer.

 

if it was would lag my bots hahah id prefer classic graphix's to run lots of bots

 

The graphics are ok but the animations are awful. I prefer normal RS :/

 

Wtf no one here gets this graphic setting? First you need a 3-4k computer and a 1TB internet connection. Then jack the settings all the way up to max then go into the dev console and type in settings-> HighDef. Works for me every time.

 

Lol i watched the video and said exactly the same thing,
I personally think RuneScape with them graphics and the over the shoulder view like WoW has going would be worse then what Runescape is now.
But then again i also hate WoW

 

If only the runescape combat system was like that...

 

Haha that gave me a good laugh. That's like showing black fire then lighting a match and it being red. It's stupid to fake advertise like this. Jagex really is bad at showing the truth lol.

 

I honestly probably wouldn't play if it did look like that.

 

It looks like a blend of Warcraft and Fable 3. lol

 

Overall it looks shit, what are they trying to proof with this video?
Probably giving us a hint that they are copying wow.
