Just an observation...why do all the character models in Unreal based games have such large feet/boots? It looks totally out of proportion with the body. I've noticed this way back since the original UT days.

Take for example the character models in Half Life 2 or other games and the feet don't look so out of proportion.

God I HATE that song so so so so so so so so so so so very much.
Nice trailer, but I had to have sound muted to watch it.

Meh, no in game shots in the trailer, doesn't really tell me anything about the plot (if there is one)...I'm not impressed. The gameplay in the previously linked youtube vid looks fun but if you say the graphics in the trailer are the same quality as the actual gameplay you're smoking it. That's not to say that Sony and everyone else haven't been getting people hyped on non-gameplay trailers for years but I'd like to think most of us have learned that you can't judge an actual game on a trailer that doesn't even show the in game graphics.

I wonder, why release trailer in HD, but leave music score at what looks very much like 96kbps mp3...

However every single review and hands on I've read, and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE, the person has been blown away. I've never heard of a game in which nay sayers and skeptics alike are all saying "This lives up to the hype, and beyond."

I'll be picking this one up for sure.
Thats because the developers stuck to their guns and wouldn't compromise with Microsoft.
What makes you say that?


The developers and MS battled over features and gameplay.

looking at the ingame video, my only fear is that the gameplay will get repetitive if the environment doesn't change at a fast enough pace. Bungie masterful at setting the tempo in Halo to make sure you never got bored and the environment changed quickly. To me, being able to kill a ton of dumb enemies isn't as satisfying as taking down a few smart AI bad guys.

Wow, am i in OT or Video?! Folks, the game will NOT look like that in real time, so save your pennies. Nice rendering though...

O RLY?

Yea, game play that looks NOTHING like rendreed scenes. Thanks for sharing. :roll:

I don't know about you buddy, but the in game footage looks just as good. The Trailer is using the same engine/effects as the actual game:

well they are boots/suits of armor. but my guess is their whole body is out of proportion and physically impossible. nothing new, some pretty cool looking naked stone greek statues are also actually physically impossible/inacurate but that wasn't the point there iether.

The Riace Bronzes

No sense in arguing with him. He probably didn't even take the time to look at the footage.

HL? HL2? BF1942? Halo?

There are a few of them, and most of them go on to be classics.
