Hi All,
I agree "gameplay first and looks second". But I also agree about the graphics. In this day and age, with the power of the chipsets and graphics cards that are available, there is no reason to not have good graphics as well as good gameplay.
I am a dedicated realtime tactical wargamer, but I also love good graphics. So much so, that if a game does not have a goodly amount of both, I will probably not buy it. So what you say, go and play something else. Point is, wargamers are becoming more discerning. I want it all. And there are a lot more out there like me.
Inject some colour (camo), and give the vehicles good definition/detail, and you will have even more of a winner. After all, we talk about using real physics etc, look at the camo schemes that real armies use, in real life.
It is definitely not my intent to be negative. Just trying to offer some constructive help.
regards
