Are the graphics and animations worst than Pre-alpha Carthage trailer?

[Simon total war]

Is it just me or the graphics since Teutenberg trailer are worst than this pre-alpha footage? Here the level of detail if phenomenal and this is what got everyone excited 1 year ago. Now the game looks like shogun 2 total war with roman uniforms I find.

The first 2 are pre-rendered. The 3rd one is a screenshot taken from an ideal angle, probably using the "N"-key (cinematic mode)

Yes; I noticed this particularly with the arrow animations.

They decided to take 3 steps back in Teutoberg...... the Carthage arrow animations were great as they were IMO.

These photos are close up takes from probably cinematic scenarios. In the recent videos, the camera is far away most of the time, so you can't appreciate there the level of detail. I don't know... I think we will see a spectacular game, don't worry.

Yeah. Rome 2 will definitely be amazing when it comes out. The one persistent problem with the footage that has been given is that the camera never fully zooms in on the troops so we can see them...especially when fighting.

I personally still believe that the Teutoburg footage is in fact from an earlier version of the game. All textures, especially arrow trails look a lot more unpolished than in the Carthage demo. The battle itself with a smaller environment and limited number of different units would have been easier to make as well.

The lighting is very different, the carthage demo has a very brownish hue to it that obscures details quite well, in the teutoburg video it's easier to spot individual details.

The arrow trails are horrible however. That will be the first mod i install (and i pray that's it's MP-compatible)

I wish you were right, but your theory is quite fragile, considering that Jack Lasted said that the laser trails arrows will stay in the final version of the game.
So, according to your theory, CA, in the begining, implemented the laser trails (Teutoberg video).
However, they regretted it and decided to change them (Carthage video).
Then they changed their opinion again(!) and brought them back (Jack Lusted's announcement).
It doesn't make much sense, does it?

Didn't Lusted simply say that trails in general will be in the final version? If that were the case, we could expect something more subtle in the final version.

Bait and switch fire arrows!
