combat and animations

combat and animations look fine to me. It looks just like any other mmo, and I'm not a fanboi and I hate SOE. (I'm a precu SWG player) i dont know why alot of people are commenting on how boring it looks. the only problem I can think of is if its really slow to run or if you can't jump, thats what killed FFXI for me, apart from the slow @$$ grind and the POLviewer and the horrible controls and the streamlined ps2 graphics.(Sorry for the run-on sentence but I'm not changing it :D)

Also: I particularly like the way the polearm/spear animations look, as I am quite partial to those weapons. after seeing a spear in one of the videos I'm excited that a class might actually use one exclusively. Oh and the armor looks very nice. and the amount of classes and races available, oh and the flying mounts.

    I think "looking like any other mmorpg" is part of the problem. It seems the genre has been lacking in talented animators, or hindered by poor direction. Combat should be frenetic, exciting, dramatic. Why can't we see moves and effects closer to what we see in console fighting games? Not completely over the top, by definitely in that direction?

    The animations for spells and combat are pretty good in Guild Wars, I would say that would be the place to START, but then take it up a notch or two.

    BTW, the enemies in the videos that seem to float lifelessly in the air are a prime example of bad creature design and animation. I can't believe they would show that in a promotional video! :)

    If you want sweet animations this game isn't going to do it.....Gods and Heroes will though which is the game that I will be watching from now on....

    I haven't seen anything impressive about Vanguard other than the sheer size of the world.

    Can't say much more because of the NDA....

    Like it was stated above, if you want impressive and beautiful looking combat, Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising is your game!
