Much easier to get into. During the alpha players were very helpful.
So fucking hyped for this!
I've got a bunch of friends on PC and Xbox One. I'll be buying both.
As I understand it, most of the people who worked there back when they developed World in Conflict have left the studio, so its mostly new people.
Which is a bit sad, I was really hoping for a sequel for WiC (one of the best RTS games ever) and now I fear the dream is definitely dead.
I would imagine the list of game developers that are still mostly comprised of the same people that they had in 2007 would be a very fucking short list.

It's great. I'm not going to over hype it, but I definitely appreciated the fact that I could walk around a huge derelict city, and find interesting side content to do both outside and inside buildings. Then there's the story missions, lite-base building (like in the trailer), Dark Zone etc. Expecting good things based on what I've played.
There world is seamless. It's not a case of having your hub then warping to specific locations like in Destiny. You have a base camp but then from there you explore the city freely, no loading either.
Similarly with match making, you have to wait for your team mates to spawn in but I don't remember a loading screen.

The main designer (as presented on the Wiki at least) is the Creative Director of the studio. So, at least that.

I wish I could afford that.
I have a feeling that ps4 or xbone version may still run better than my older gtx 660 but if not ( we are talking about massive ent here) then I might end up on pc.

Really want to play this on PC, but all my friends will be on PS4. Going to be a double dip most likely.
Damn I am such a sucker for graphical fidelity.

Don't believe your forced. But They have dark zones you enter that are PVP. Although, that's apparently where the best loot is supposed to be.
That is true. It's been quite a while now since WiC released.
Didn't know that. Hopefully he could sell Ubisoft on the idea of World in Conflict 2, I want a sequel so badly.

Downgrade + unimpressive in 2016.
Yeah but does it even Gjallarhorn?

Such a contribution to the thread.
And as a self proclaimed graphics whore, this game should look brilliant on PC at 4K. The engine has some really nice features.
Will it beat out Batllefront or the Order 1886? Maybe not, but it will still be among the best looking games available.

I just pre-ordered on Amazon so at least I can participate in the Beta. Depending how that goes will determine if I keep the game or not. Its a pretty cool way to see if I like the game and I can cancel my pre-order at any time. Chalk one win up for the customer.

Is there a character creator ? Any videos of it ? How different are the looks of the players ? From the trailer everybody looks the same.
A sequel (as I imagine it) seems pretty expensive for what is a really really niche genre at this moment. But maybe they'll get the freedom to make their "Child of Light" some point down the line.
Well at the bare minimum there's gender and color/race.

Haha. Whoops. Meant PS4.
But yeah, I will probably end up buying it on PS4 and playing with friends, then buying on PC to soak up the Snowfrop Engine goodness.

Lots of people don't care about tht stuff. Just want to play the camapign/multiplayer and move on.
Couldn't change in alpha just randomize
But it did change hair, skin, gender, face
In the alpha were just some presets. Other things were locked so we couldnt go any deeper. Did saw piercings and tattoos also.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck I forgot about that video. The game looks nice. But it doens't look like that. Damn.
More importantly... it looks like it COULD be a fun game to play. I would eagerly jump into a beta to check it out.
Thats very typical with type of games. You need a "main" character for marketing.
Same for example with Sunset Overdrive. Saw always the same guy. Wich you never were gonna play because your make you own.
