Why are there so many graphical regressions in this preview compared with the X019 Trailer?

I just reviewed the previous X019 Trailer. In this scene,the tower showed realistic and beutiful particle effects when destroyed.However, in the new Preview, there was only some smoke when buildings were broken. And the arrows with track looked very natural rather than those big arrows in new Preview. Bodies can also be seen on the battleground, but they‘re all gone now.

I DO wish the graphic of final game to achieve the level of X019 Trailer.

Everything looks worse than in the first trailer. Its either a harsh landing to reality because that was not an actual gameplay trailer OR they did change some stuff.

Many people for example complained about the saturation but now I saw many badly lighted places with faded colors, especially in the chinese base. -That’s due to the lack of detail- If you want to lower the saturation you have to increase details - textures or else you end up with a worse outcome.

Look how shiny and beautiful everything is in here. There’s still lack of detail as there is now but the vibrant colors and lighting was helping I think more and made it less apparent because of the ‘cartoony’ art style.

Those explosive animations looked much better as well.

I can’t believe it’s difficult for Relic to reach such level of graphic, especially with the help of Microsoft. Technology in 2020 can easily achieve such a picture in X019 Trailer. I don’t know what happen to them. Now it seems that this is either a propaganda failure, likes Halo Infinite, or a trailer cheating likes War3 Remake

The problem is that they want to go after fornite players… those who have no money lol.

There is another reason also, they are using company of heroes 1 engine, this is an engine from 2005 that was made for 2 cores, company of heroes 2 pushed this engine to the maximum in 2014, the people who work on coh1, dow2 (engine) they don’t work anymore on Relic, so they are unable to optimize this engine and the only choise they have is to lower graphics to the maximun with the excuse of redability ( while in dow2 and coh1-2 yo have maximum graphics with a lot of redability) So all are excuses, they don’t have the good old devs thay crated glorious coh and dawn of war… I will pass on this for sure, I am 33 and I can’t belive they are using this fornite graphics in 2021 for a $60 game, who is going to buy your game Relic? fornite players? don’t think so, may be dota players? don’t think so they don’t have money and they have to ask mom to buy skins… Cmon relic use your common sense!

Where are our sources on this information regarding game engine development?

I prefer the new trailer to be honest. I think the lighting looks much better

Because there was hope they would listen to their fans. But they didnt. They made it even worse.
