I fail to see what is wrong with those animations. The models look fine to me. Sorry if its not "GRIMDARKGRIMDARKGRIMDARKGRIMDARKGRIMDARK" enough for some, this is an MMO, not a single player RPG.
No, because it looks to 'cartoony' and the models lack detail. I was expecting the models to look like the ones in W40K SpaceMarine tbh.
I'd rather people be able to run it on an average machine and be cartoony, than be super slick and no one can run it all. Heck, they were alpha animations anyway.
I dunno Eternal Crusades Alpha footage already looks better IMO, more in the direction I prefer for 40k and its going to host a near record number of players per map. The Eternal Crusade Alpha video is also missing alot of textures, shading, and more while being live in game rather than a recorded rendering...hmm...that said props to the EC devs
Very cool! I agree with you, that game play does look better. At first I thought he was playing Space Marine, then realized the interface was off, the execution was simple, not over the top and effective. I'll say again, I'm a fan.
It's also an MMO, and in order to make money, in needs to function within a technical, financial, and gameplay limitations. As much as I would love to see things that I imagine 40k is like, I know that those things aren't possible within those big 3.
