“Caugar” ? Really? AI slop animation?
Found photos of green circle, 13, ‘Cougar’ plinth tank online. US tank with HVSS suspension. Literally the tank, but named correctly. 😂
Remember the game is still in the development stage. Probably a good idea not to judge the game just yet.
Just such a glaring error though…
(before watching the whole video). I’m not sure I understand the point of moving BA onto the computer, surely I’ll just play some other ww2 stylised RTS game. something like company of heroes from back in the day etc. perhaps I’m just being close-minded on this topic.
Lot of physical games (card games, board games etc) have digital versions. Won’t be for everyone but if you want to play Bolt Action but do it at home on the computer, you’ll have an outlet with this
Hmm , how much research did they do ? There’s British troops wearing those silly wedge caps , not a helmet in sight , and all the riflemen have what look like canvas colored German MP 40 ammo pouches . WTF ? I’m used to seeing troops with MP 40s and rifle ammo pouches in the movies but this is just weird .
It’s all AI slop…
The game is still early in development. Doesn’t have a release date yet – likely there will be lots more work done on the game ahead of launch and things might be placeholders.
@brennon – spell check or having live eyes on will do them wonders …
Comment from one of my mates:
I don’t know much about digital gaming but I can’t see this having much appeal outside the existing bolt action base. Plus screw anyone using generative ai instead of artists, designers and developers.
