Oh for heavens sake you boys from the states are so up your own trumpets . . . I was merely, in a whimsical manner trying to draw your attention to the fact that the 2d art work differs greatly from the 3d meshes in game ... oh heavens. Save us from the American male.

Because sometimes....it doesn't work like you draw it. Clipping hit boxes, Bad hit boxes, etc.

Proper Semantics, Nomenclature, Syntax, and Pronunciation get you very far in life and everyone is a critic on the internet, American men are not really unquie in that aspect.

But moggy...im gonna yell that at the neighbors cat next time its sitting on my soft top.

Whilst I do like hot girls . . . beer should never be cold . . .!

^^
As an American Moq is correct.... I visited New York City and there was an Irish Pub (Bar?) that served REAL Irish Beer at Room Temperature (not warm.. not cold... just normal)..

It was the best tasting, easy smooth Beer I have ever drank. I can now see why God Invented Beer... to keep the Irish from ruling the World because its sooo much better than anything Local here in the States... it completely DESTROYED my beer drinking... I would never again buy anything from USA... its complete GARBAGE when compared to that Irish stuff...

I'm from the US capitol, and I drink most beverages at room temperature. The reason we drink cold beer in America is because we drink lots of ****** beer.

I do like good beer at 'cellar' temps though... If my house is 75f I'd like my beer to be around 55f ect.

Also, yes, the 3-D models looks like **** compared to the 2-D art.

We are just used to it by now, so we set our expectations low.

All the joking aside,
OP is kind of right.

The 3d models almost never look as good as Alex's Concept arts did.
This trend of mechs being made wider and boxier than the sleek designs in the 2d artwork, started way early in closed beta with the Centurion (which is still one of the worst 2d-3d transitions in the game). Other mechs that suffered severely during this transition are Quickdraw and maybe the Thunderbolt (in the concept, it's nowhere near as square, building-like, like it is in-game)





Heck, some time ago i was planning on making a poll on which Mech suffered the most during the translation into in-game models.
I just never got around to do it, because i'm a lazy f*ck.

This is the case with most of the art. They get the proportions compeltely wrong. Go through them one by one and see the MASSIVE differences.

The hulking bulldog stance of the Stalker became a chicken penis walker

The lithe and deadly centurion became a brick wall with a cartoon hand

The brutal and somewhat rounded jagermech became a skinny cubic legomech with toothpick cannons

The Highlander became all torso, with little stick arms, and no neck.

The Banshee's face went from 'manic' to 90s saturday morning cartoon goon with shades

I could go on about every mech.

The original 4 are the only truly solid ones... (pre geometry ****) Also the clan mechs look solid, but they have a very 'legomech' style canonically

The common theme is everything becomes boxes, torsos become larger, legs and arms often become smaller, and guns look tiny.

Don't even get me started about the scaling issues...

Moved to K-town and thread-opener should believe that this is even the best option what could happen to this thread.

It is a scientific fact that beer should be served room-temperature, and that the Americans wouldn't know good beer if they drowned in it.

Much like their coffee, it's like making love in a canoe.

Should we not be buying the product off of realistic art work . . . or may be off of screen shots.
All I was trying to say in my, G&T fueled rant is that when you advertise a computer game on TV they have to state whether your looking at "in game" footage or an "artistic representation" of the game . . . whilst I love the art work some of the in game models do not come close to their advertised loveliness . . . My fear is of course that the shadowcat is going to turn out to be an ugly dumpster diving moggy !

So... What's going on in this thread?

Wait... This is about CATS!!!!

Cats are not allowed in K-Town.

Just birds.

Have a taco and keep the cats away.
