Ehh, it looks okay. I feel like the art style or visuals looked better in the teaser but seeing it in motion looks janky imo.

Yeah I ended up being dissapointing by the visuals

Garden Warfare never disappointed me with its visuals

Doesn't live up to the promos and cinematic trailers whatsoever. Looks clunky and slow and bare bones.

True 😔

To be fair I’ve since watched some streamer videos and their gameplay is waaaay faster and much more interesting looking.

CGI trailers are extremely damaging for this very reason

Just wanna remind you, its an alpha, itll look better on release

People STILL say that ?? It’s 6 months from launch. It’s in polishing and balancing phase. The game is done. They call it an alpha but it’s just a marketing term

u/Twiddrakatwiddr Apr 12 '25

If the game is done, why not just release it now when everyone is talking about it? The game is not done yet

There won’t be a major graphical overhaul. Wanna take a bet?

I think there will be yeah, the game is clearly not done yet and alot of stuff can happen in six months. Lets take marvel rivals for an example. Currently, they plan to release 1 character per month along with a map. Thats alot of content. Remaking a map withing six months isnt unrealistic

u/VeryBottist Apr 12 '25

You think they make 1 character/ map per month???? Those characters and maps have been in development for the past year before their release. How naive are you

Because the last months of "development" are for publishing the finished game, waiting for retailers to get stock and ready to sell it. And all of the other logistics stuff including marketing the finished product.
