So beta registration is up and like many I have signed up but....
After seeing hands on gameplay footage today from all over I have cancelled my pre-order for the game. It looks thoroughly underwhelming to me if I am honest.
The world seems lifeless, giant mechs running around whilst grass and foliage remain unmoved even when they are being stomped on by a giant mech. Cherry blossom trees that refuse to shed a single blossom despite missile explosions occurring right next to them. Explosions that result in NO visible destruction to buildings or cause fires, buildings with 'shelves with ornamental clutter' that are utterly indestructible....
How fake is this world they want me to buy into ?
It's all so clean, lifeless and thoroughly last gen. After seeing the damage in multiplayer BF4 with the frostbite engine, to see something so static and lifeless has left me totally disinterested.
It's just the lifeless COD multiplayer maps - but with a mech rendered in 720p and upscaled....
So I hope I get to try the beta, because as it stands I have no intention of putting down €60 on this sadly.....
So how about you folks? Anyone still excited or like me turned off after latest footage?
