I just watched a few minutes of Space Marine 2 cutscenes. Every time the camera cuts to a character, all the fabric on his body does the default T-pose-hang-and-fall like when you load new clothes in DAZ studio.
Literally every single shot starts with their armor skirts/tabard dropping down around their legs while they talk about purging heretics.
The dangling incense skulls keep clipping through their robes. Everyone looks like they got their faces done by the grimmest, darkest one-star yelp review post-op buffalo bill plastic surgeon in the galaxy.
This is a $70 game with a massive budget that requires a 3070 GPU to play. It looks worse than the one from 2011.
Is the the devs, or is the unreal 5 physics engine just awful? "Chaos engine" is hilariously on point for a Warhammer game
It doesn't run in UE5, it uses the proprietary engine they cooked up for WWZ.
Of my many complaints about the game, the visuals are in a distant last place. The gameplay is somehow, in its attempt to be deeper than the flat puddle of the first game, worse. Counter and parry timing is inconsistent between enemies and difficulty. There is no real meaningful way to sustain in the heat of combat due to a lack of the first game's health regen, and the game is ridiculously punishing of small mistakes. Certain points of the campaign seem like they were designed by people who don't understand what game design is, and whole chunks of the PVE operations mode seem like they were designed by people who think stat increases are meaningful improvements.
Woefully, the sound design makes bolter fire feel pathetic, even if it was doing more than pathetic damage to elites. I winced when the first game turned the melta, a literal fusion gun, into merely an overpowered shotgun, and a lascannon into a sniper rifle, but rubric marines in this game can soak several shots from a multi-melta without going down on the harder difficulties.
TBF don't rubric marines have feel no pain rolls that let them laugh at multi-meltas on a coin flip? Or am I mixing up editions again
Come to think of it, how do I know any of this I've never even played Warhammer.
