sorry but this trailer looks cheap and bad. animation is weak too. compare to dark millennium online. i can't even compare it with that. View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ0EJdhR43Q
So true! These two trailers are beyond compare. And DM was around early alpha too. DM was a failure in the terms of game concept and cartoonish take on 40K, it's good that the game was never finished, but I can't help myself admiring the picture of the game. And man, I love those DM spehss mahreens' look, they look WAY more badass than those in EC. They are massive, bulky, they look heavy and agressive - a worthy and dangerous enemy. In EC they look funny to my eye - big head on a thin neck sticking over low shoulders and backpack..
the game concept was a failure? how so man? i didn't read any thing about it other than watching the trailers. i actually like the vigil's cartoony art direction. its chunky and exaggerated. big and bold is what 40k is about! (love their art style in darksiders) pity they only had spess mahreens and orks done. oh wait. they had some eldar half done. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FPsn_-KcM...AAuc/ZLKBx6tSZlU/s1600/EldarFarseer_Singh.jpg
The face is a bit derpy but I think the overall model is better than what EC offers so far. Edit: Although the armour is a bit too clunky, especially the gloves.
Ok Crusader, Let me again be full Transparent, this video was made FIRST by the same supplier that did the CG. It was suppose to be done for E3 and was the MAIN video for the launch of the founder's program. The first objective was in 3 min explain what EC is and show an ''idea'' of the type of ingame action. To do this, we gave them a copy of our current Alpha BUILD (no finish model of Eldar or Orks, limited effect and textures... well, you know our build we show it to you EVERY weeks) They were suppose to ''FILL'' the hole by creating cinematic asset and add them post-process. But when we received it it was horrible. Stephanie, David and Ghislain had to work on it for 2 months, adding an immersive twist where Cerveau Skull were sent down on Arkhona to report to the Inquisition what was going on. I am so happy and proud of them since the end result is even cooler than what it was supposed to be. BUT, please dont think that our game will look like this when it launches in 1.5-2 years. It will be a LOT more Next Gen and Beautifull. This video is the 101 course for those less familiar with our game and the 40K universe. Enjoy the twitch today! Regards Miguel @GamesCon!!!!
In Dark Millenium they meant to make it a two large faction war, with Imperium and Eldar on one side, and Chaos with Orkz on another.. Imagine never being able to kill a mon'keigh! And the mechanics promised to be nearly a WoW clone.. I like this exagerrated style too, but not in 40K. The setting of 40K isn't serious in it's core, it's full of satire and parody, but it has a gravely serious face. And that is what makes many people love it. Make 40K loose that spirit of seriousness about itself, and it looses lots of its charm, becomes a kind of strange gag. And that was going to happen in DM, not to mention that it was going to screw the lore in many directions and on every occasion. But I agree, the art direction in Vigil was very strong, you can feel it all the way. I hope the guys at bE will concern themselves with pumping up EC on this side. Technically EC looks good, the locations are nice and probably won't be a problem, but character art and production need more powah to it as of now.
Nice to see you in our Eldar section of the Forums, Miguel. As you probably know, we trust in you Devs, but always wish for the better. You guys surely do work hard, and noone can deny you of that. It's just that there are not so many of you, and the 40K Universe is immensely large.. Some things may easily get neglected, and sometimes they are big things.. So we are just pointing out what to look at, and many try to do it constructively, bringing in ideas and references. We are doing it now not to just complain, but to get your attention while the assets are not finished, while there is still time to fix things easily. We want EC to be awesome and hope we may be of help. Also, I'd like to use this chance to ask. Please make sure your marketing guys pay attention to the way they position the game in trailers, inerviews and other ads. It is not a coinscidence that as of now EC has a population of Space Marines larger than the combined forces of the THREE other races. They get many times more attention than any other race, and in this particular trailer they are called Good, and others - Evil. Which is simply NOT true at all. No way the Imperium is Good, there is no real Good in 40K, there is only WAR.. The advertisment forms the attitude, and as of now it forms the cult of the Imperium with the image of other races savagely lacking appealing details and their bits of charm. It's not late yet to think about it and make a change) With all due respect and best regards) We trust in you, guys)
It will be nice if you send some basic info about Eldar to the guys that are making the CGI... because they turned a weapon that fires a stream of hundreds of shurikens into a battle rifle that does pew pew sigh.
