Dammit, John, now you made me want gameplay footage. I NEED IT IN MY VEINS RIGHT NAO.
So, did you take videos and all that or something? Please?

I really want to see the footage now. It's pretty obvious that they are going to cut some corners to get all those soldiers on screen, but it should still be such an awesome experience that I won't really care.
Yeah, I've read about that in the previews. It just seems weird that they would keep the fast walk when they spent so much time talking about how certain things belong to certain characters.
John says yes.
Realities of console-centric development. That's probably the only way they can really fit that many people on-screen in an open-world game.
That's gonna be a lot of dudes to stab in the neck.
Why would fast walking be exclusive to a certain character? That doesn't make much sense.
Well, drummers certainly will be:

There really isn't a point to it other than to pickpocket (something else that should be left behind).

Obviously, I just thought they would being using level of detail, or at least better use of it.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
If they are saying it's fake, they are liars and thieves. I literally just saw it this afternoon. He starts at the top and hears the famous 'don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes speech" which is in that pic with all the blue coats. Then the patriots charge the red guys on the hill. And you follow behind the army, and you can choose to go right or left, right is action, left is stealth. you dodge some cannon fire, get close to the bottom of the hill (like that pic), then you can either try and run up it or go to the left and around the hill (toward that ship in the background). that's when the video shows tree and forest maneuvering and the rope dart and human shields and musket fire and a 6 on 1 fight. etc etc. it was like 10 min long but it had Alex H doing commentary throughout, so maybe its 5 min of footage.
I can't imagine this is spoilers or anything, considering it's a public event.

It's called compromise. They have to do that with limited tech. Draw distance is something they probably figured is more important in the long run.

I reckon something will leak soon.

Those models are fine 30 feet away. It looks pretty bad up close. needs a higher polygon count upclose. The leg looks like its 4 sided.
Then go fix it since it bothers you so much.
Slow leaks are the worst leaks
Wtf, where is that from lol?
Seriously. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
Look at the sheer number of characters on-screen in this image, which have to be drawn on-screen at any given time. Remember that this is also an open-world game. They want armies off in the distance to approach a certain level of detail, and that comes at a price.

In a screen shot it's obvious. When the game is in motion and your attention is on controlling your character and navigating the environment you really shouldn't notice. If you go out of your way to notice, or you just can't get over knowing that the polycounts are low and that ruins the game for you, that's your issue.

"Hey, that guy's trying to learn for free!"

*ahem* "Use your phony guns as clubs."
That is all.

Some people are saying a video was leaked, dunno if true or not, but the pics are probably from that
GameInformer released their ACIII special edition podcast yesterday.

Paraphrased to fit with the picture!
They are not allowed to.
Do not even mentioned ever again.
It'll probably look better when it comes out. They said they are spending the rest of the year polishing the game. It's probably why they have not shown it to the public yet.

This looks like an oblivion mod with 100 guys on the screen all shooting guns in the same direction.

This is why they don't like leaked pics ect. Because gamers can't handle it.

16 cores can't come soon enough.So many compromises.
Maybe they could on the PC version.
Dear god no. Xenoblade has some godawful foilage.
Then again, I can't even recall a game that I'd consider having "good" foilage. Definitely something devs still struggle with.
