The newly launched EQ2 Vault has an extended Ask SOE with Steve "Moorgard" Danuser answering various EQ2 questions:Deathstryker: I hear that combat will be strategic and involved, but will it also LOOK awe-inspiring? For example, if I'm going to be a Monk, will my combat moves actually look like a martial artist throwing around flying kicks and other cool, fast-paced maneuvers?
Steve "Moorgard" Danuser: You better believe it! We used motion-capture technology to record a multitude of fighting moves, both with weapons and a variety of unarmed attacks. Martial arts moves will look extraordinary, but so will the flash of swords whizzing through the air. We definitely want players to feel heroic, and a big part of that is how they look while they're fighting the big bad guys. |
