The hologram stuff outside of the actual game scenes were odd and pointless. Onto more relevant things - the character animations in the scenes aren't terrible, but they aren't great either.

But it's not just the game characters. Every one of these R.U.S.E. trailers seem feature people going way out of their way to be massively overacting. It's like they're trying to call it a selling point.

What I think has happened is a big developer has gone out and tried to make something a little bit different, a bit risky, and suddenly had cold feet, so they try to hype hype hype to get sales. Basically, they don't have faith in the actual game itself.

Massive overacting so lifelike, you can't tell it appart from our massively overacting game designers!!

Lol wtf were the actors doing because the motion just looks weird, mainly where the guy goes a bit mental when he says he's going home.

Is it just me or are these the fugliest cut scene animations anyone have ever seen in a video game for a while. I remember Commandos had more fluid animations than this, why is an army officer walking around like he's a pixie in a Disney animation. The characters themselves look really bad, both the models and their faces. They're not even dressed quite right, the American officer looks like he's wearing MC hammer pants.

maybe im missing something but dont most games now use motion capture so its not really anything new, and not a reason to get hyped for a game epecially a RTS one imo.  I enjoyed World in conflict and Company of heroes but i am not hyped at all for RUSE , whilst it looks decent the whole bluff thing put me straight off it to be honest.
