King of Wushu brings a highly stylized martial arts world to life with Cryengine 3. In this special sneak trailer, the development team at Snail Games demonstrates the use of NVIDIA GameWorks (HairWorks and PhysX Clothing), with highly refined dynamic animations and realistic-looking gameplay. King of Wushu is an upcoming Kungfu-themed MOBA from developer Snail Games. Building on the unique style and themes of previous title Age of Wushu, King of Wushu aims to create a vivid and graphically stunning world of wandering heroes, Buddhist monks, and nimble assassins. King of Wushu is currently in development, with release set for 2015.

Well, the first cutscene part of the trailer could be a good demo ( well hair are a bit, i dont know, it miss something ), but in game, i dont see when or how you will see anything seeing how it is set.

I find with stuff like that you only actually notice it when it's not there.

No offense, but realistic battles? Who will actually buy this garbage?

looked interesting right up until the silly combat. these may as well be shooting games, theres nothing at all to do with actual fencing/sword fighting in these god of war type button mashing, swirly swirly things.

Barbarian by Palace on the Amiga is STILL the only decent sword fighting game out there.

I watched this trailer without speakers, so I can't comment on how it's supposed to be realistic, but I like that it's a 3D combat game that doesn't involve guns.

So far I'd say it looks pretty nice but the "blur" effects when swinging the weapon looks terrible.

I'm pretty sure the combat part was a joke.

As for the hair and cloth well they look amazing if you even notice it.

The blur on the sword is telling though, just another game that uses copious amounts of blurring and other tricks to hide fast moving or hard to draw objects.

I thought the game looked amazing until i saw the combat, not for me thanks.

Fingers are getting too old to bash buttons like that.
