Art Of War Video Critique

Hello, I'm starting this thread for people who are interested in deconstructing and analyzing the Art of War video. Remember this is pre-alpha, and maybe I'm being knit picky but details matter in the long run. The discussion is not meant to criticize and make fun of the video, instead the thread is meant as a contribution to help catch mistakes/details and make the video the best it can be.

My own critique is of the hawk at the very start. Its flight pattern just does not look realistic through the scene progression. There are not many good videos I could find as good examples of flight patterns, but here is an alright one. The birds in the video look like they're hunting, not going somewhere, but I think some moves can apply to the Art Of War Video.

Generally it looks like there is too much wing flapping, and not enough gliding. Around 0:15-0:19 in the Art Of War video it looks like a good point to add a glide, visually it might be better. Then again around 0:21 as the bird turns and as it sweeps by the predator. Maybe near the end as well once the hawk is in the distance, closer to the city. (I'm assuming the hawk is a pet, scouting, and not a random animal).

This is what I spotted so far, what other stuff is there that you guys see?

  • EASY is pre-alpha remember this guys were behind star wars galaxy. They pay atention to details. Anyway is a good critiq, i think they are int more general looking things than minimal details for now.
    Hope those asassins creed players are easier to kill that in the videoXD. If not metropolis are doom.
