I dont say that the current models are good, but they are a lot better than the old ones.

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

If your limited definition of 'better' is having a higher poly count/texture resolution, then yes, you are correct.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. The old models looked like something from the 1980's (obviously exaggerating, but you get what Im saying).

I personally think the older models looked better and moved more naturally.

Quite evidently... yes, some of us haven't been around allot so you'll have to forgive this indulgence.

The design and style of the old ones better embodied the classes they represented and were actually cool and distinct. If they had just updated the original models with higher poly count and higher res textures, then that would definitely have been better, but instead, someone said, "hey, let's make generic dipshit looking models!"

lol my thoughts actually!

>_> No offense to anyone whose idea it was other than 10Tacle's.

I have to say the old models fit the games feel and atmosphere so much better than the new retarded ones. Not knocking the work whoever put in on em, but the old models looked good and rough. Like they were ready to fight, and belonged in a cyber punk blade runner world. New ones were goofy gumby chars that looked like they belonged in a bad animated childrens cartoon. I'd love to see new models based off the original set added at one point in time. That would certainly help keep new players playing since a lot of gamers now'days care about games look/feel. Neocron has such an amazing and unique enviroment and it's ruined by the cartoon gumby avatars. Ruins immersion big time

Yes.

Old models should have been updated but now we have these newer models and are stuck with those till someone creative can make new models complete with animations.

I don't really mind the new models, I've gotten use to them, I do however hate the monks casting animation like WTF is that all about? It looks retarded...
