We used to have a childrens programme called the "Woodentops" on childrens TV when I was a kid. The player models   remind me of them. Completely devoid of any facial movements or expression.

They characters use to have expression like eye blinking in earlier video, they haven't updated it since the new models, but its only alpha so no big deal. Sure it's coming back.

If you believe/think that the character models will be significantly enhanced, even slightly enhanced, you are sorely mistaken my friend.

 

I can guarantee the launch type model will be typical of what you saw in the "ALPHA" video. The engine, lack of employees at Above/Beyond, etc...

 

 

Secondly, why is it that when these guys release a video, theres never any in depth combat footage? Its a typical cut to 3 seconds of combat then edit away to a housing shot.

 

Why are they soooo afraid of showing extended combat footage, especially at this late date?

 

 

Its because its 10 years dated and if they show extended video like that, word of mouth will kill this game before launch.

Games like ESO and SW:TOR have released in the last 1-2 years with the same engine, so it is not 10 years old.

 

Now I agree that the graphics we've seen so far in the videos are not bleeding edge compared to some of the other games who are coming out these days, however, for an indie MMO which targets a subset of the MMO population/genre and doesn't aim to please to everyone at all costs, and for an MMO with that feature set, it is at a more than acceptable level.

 

That being said, while I doubt they would change the whole engine at that stage and redo all graphics (they won't), there are a lot of things that can tweaked and redone, namely animations and textures, which can give another twist -- it IS alpha after all, and they pretty much said it wouldn't launch this year, so. Things will change, to a degree.

 

That being said, if you want to see more and make your own opinion of it, they are planning to stream live on Twitch this Saturday, so why not drop by and see what/if they will show what you want to see

They have showed in depth combat on their twitch feeds if you follow them, there is one this weekend you should stop by and check it out.

This is the first repop vid I've taken the time to look at. Is it just me or does this game actually look pretty......awful?

It sure has a distinct style, and as every MMORPG coming out, it may lag a bit behind your blockbuster FPS graphics, but that distinctive style is definitely appealing to many players.

 

So I wouldn't say its just you, but many people like what they see, too

Keeping this one on my radar ! Looking good
