To be fair, Unite has always been about people circle jerking Unity (obviously), I'm not surprised they didn't show a whole lot.

I miss my 3 buttons.

Attack, Kick/Slam, Taunt ... the world was so much simpler way back in the olden days.

Having to press Auto-Attack Off, Hide, Auto-Attack every time I had to evade on my rogue was huge APM increase. And then I became a leet haxxor and macro'd that shit.

Let us demonstrate the power of Unity, whose ease of use and set of standard assets allows us to focus development purely on fundamentals such as gameplay! [shows a demo with absolutely zero gameplay]

Actually they showed what 80% of your gameplay will actually be. Running from point A to point B in the huge open world.

since I'm brad to a lot of you.. he asked this on the official forums..

Also what did you guys think of the new human male model? It's an early version still, but we rolled it ourselves, e.g. it's not a Unity store asset.

I backed him. I will probably end up burned and feeling like a chump when Brad drops off the face of the earth on a pill-popping bender, but it wouldn't be the first or last time for that.

Seeing something other than the same sub-10 content over and over though would be nice - it really does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about which decade this will come out in -- if ever.

The Human model looks amazing. Reminds me of the slick EQ Next video we saw about 90 years ago that all got scrapped and replaced with Disney Pixar crap. But yeah really nice model, animation not so much. Not that I would care, I have been playing ESO and it slick as hell in terms of presentation but the fucking gameplay... my god. Save me Bradtheon.

I have to assume animations aren't final. I mean I can't stand a game where I'm staring at my character all day and it moves like it was animated in 1998 by an unpaid intern.

Does anyone have a good picture of this new "human model"? Is there any fuzz on it?

I wouldn't go so far to say the new model is amazing by any stretch of the imagination but the animations were definitely better. Iit's an improvement to the Unity Store assets they have been using. I can live with it.

Yeah, don't care enough to go back to earlier vids and do a comparison, but the models looked noticeably better. Animation wasn't great, but wouldn't prevent me from playing.

This is going to turn out to be an EQ/VG hybrid for sure-- if it turns out at all.

Character model still looks like ass. At least the head does. When you try to go realistic, you always end up in the uncanny valley. They should probably at least stylize the character models a bit.

imo that's why all these games that went for REALISM not even 4 years ago just look like straight shit now, there's a reason a majority of western games go stylized or with that fucking league of legends aesthetic, it lasts

They need to update their site with the new art assets.

One thing in the video that caught my eye was the odd rendering of the ground as he walked along the stone at the beginning. Only the square he was on showed any detail, and the neighboring stones were without any sort of detail. It looked like the stone was cracking as he walked on it. Seems like an awfully short distance to render detail, even in an early alpha build.

Then again maybe I was hallucinating.

There has been no animation work done.
Then what animations did they use on their new model? They just reskin a unity store model? And after looking at the video again, it looks like they are moving a lot faster which would make the slow clunky animations seem better.

Just read the thread, yeah they had him sped up.

Honestly, just stylizing the character models a bit would do wonders. Final Fantasy XIV kind of does this. It makes the characters pop when you see them in the world.
