What's with that internal use only message? And why is it so fast, what are they trying to hide?

**The_Doctor** · 05-05-2006, 17:44

I can't see it, but I can hear it.

Fast cuts are typical for action movie and game trailers. It's supposed to look exciting. Notice the simulated hand-held camera jerkiness, and the way the camera jumps suddenly when the artillery shot hits the wall.

I thought my current rig could handle this, but now I'm not so sure. That looks a lot more hardware-intensive than a typical RTW battle, not just a little more. At least I can try throwing in a second video card and run in SLI dual card mode, before going for a full-scale upgrade. I've had this computer for only a year, and I'm not really ready for a full upgrade yet, dagnabbitt!!

I got it working. It was very impressive.

Kind of hard to tell from looking at that video. The desynchronization of the soldiers looked good I thought. The crumbling wall (presumably from a cannonball) still looked cheesy but not as bad as RTW. Where's all the dust and smoke when a big section of wall goes down? And it also looks, just like RTW, that walls and buildings will come tumbling down at a sneeze (hate to make it too tedious for the 10 year olds).

I also thought the lone soldier running looked a bit stilted in his movement. Didn't really look like motion capture to me.

As for the sound, I think one would be jumping to conclusions to think that the game itself is going to sound like that. Those sound effects could easily have been added just for the video, and probably were.

Apart from that, my impression is that it's better than RTW, but how much better is hard to tell from that short clip.
