New Alpha Video

[Kule]

I think it's just anoying that the lack of animation + the pivot makes the game look more like a korean free to play game. If they plan to keep the pivot they should at least add a side step animation. I remain hopeful that they get around to adding it as everything else looks really good.

Do we need another 1000 post-thread about "back-paddel" to prove those people wrong in the end, since it is alpha? The actual build of the game is further ahead, that is the alpha client and just created to test what SE wanted to test in alpha, which is obviously not animations. There is a BIG LOGO in the bottom left corner which says ALPHA-Version.. gosh you people are hilarious.

This is two years of work, In that time if they wanted to knock up a side step it would have been done. Like I said, I remain hopeful. And yeah I realise it's in Alpha and i'm a pretty funny guy.

Maybe this helps. It's from v1.0 alpha to beta.

"it's an alpha so you are wrong" is not proof of anything.

If they went through the effort to make new animations, and they suck, then that is cause for alarm. Being an apologist isn't going to help SE.

lighting adjustments and the hud changed... animations are slightly more fundamental than that and usually are high up on the priority list. I just think it's something they would have got done before they started to show off promotional material.

How about we get back to talking about how the new Grid looks and not start another "the animations sux!!!11!!one!!" discussion?

II agree... stop with the freaking animation talks... i too am sadden, but i'll withhold em' until beta.

Holy balls...that song is incredible... :O

The lack of animation looks terrible here -_- http://youtu.be/AQb_t5zkfoY?t=1m10s

"All content shown is under development and subject to change."

Personally, the removal of that "bubble of detail" is more than enough to make up for the pivoting. The game looks leaps better than 1.0, so I'm not going to sweat stuff like "I don't turn right."

New Grid looks nice.

Now lets talk about how they can improve.

Fix the damn 2007 free korean mmo animation.
