I can’t tell about the gameplay yet, but the UI is brilliantly done. Cheers to Ubisoft for that, if nothing else.

Seems to me that the zoomed leve doesn’t serve any purpose, well just one, see thing blown up. But the actual terrain seems to matter little to the way units behave, straight line trough tree, weapon don’t mind tree neither, seems a bite shallow for the moment, I was expecting a little bit more….

I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how this game will be played.

While it looks pretty, the actual gameplay looked to be about 90% moving the camera around saying ‘ooh pretty’.

Makes me wonder how much depth there is to the actual strategy and tactics that will make the game more than something nice to look at.

This seems like a pimped out version of one of those Battalion war games or Advanced War. The units are generic and counter each other. That having been said I love those kinds of games and this looks very interesting! Will want to get my hands on this

So… managing power-ups while way-too-big tanks and things sort of mill about with some inconclusive explosions going off around them…

I’m certainly not sold yet.

RTS? Check. WW2? Check.

Seems like Ubi is just handing us the same game we’ve been playing in different flavors for the past 5 years, only REALLY DETAILED n’ PRETTY! MKAY.

Endwar was pretty too. From what I can observe, RUSE seems to use the same “point your units and watch” game play style too, absolutely no tactics or strategy. But did we mention it’s DETAILED AND PRETTY?

I like the scale, but I actually enjoy the micro(?) attention to details more. For example, as far as I can see, the environment has no bearing to what happens to the units – the tanks move at the same speed no matter what terrain! they’re on, and how the tanks continue to advance, even when it may not be wise to do so. Must be why I love Men Of War so much, though.

This one will need a demo to really see how it plays. I cast scorn for the moment.

Looking better and better. Definitely on my radar. I love how the war room comes into view as the camera zooms out. Brilliant stuff.

Seriously.

‘that engine looks seriously flawed’

‘looks rubbish’

What possible value do these statements have?

I’m pretty sure the narrator was referring to the billion or so polygons each map contains as a whole – they’re not all rendered simultaneously.

Still, I reckon it looks great :)
