So I've watched two trailers for GunZ, and was mildly surprised. The first trailer was the one that most of us have seen that features all the items and such that we see currently. The other trailer I discovered was a very old beta version of GunZ, complete with old interface and BEFORE kStyle was popularized.
Now, the links to the two videos-
Old Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5w0n0pzz18
New Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ScbAjJd4k4
Now, I'll make some observations. Keep in mind, these are merely personal opinions from watching the videos.
The first video shows how far GunZ has progressed. As nice as the interface is, (I wouldn't object to having the blue rectangular ammo and health counters) the graphics have come a lot better. The combo hits, the kill alerts, and the announcements are all much smoother and better looking. Also, the only two maps at the time were mansion and prison, quite different when compared to today.
Also not seen in the first video, kStyle. I do believe this is one of the only videos on the internet from the post kStyle era showing what real gameplay was like at the time. As you can see, even though pistols are shown in the beginning, the only weapons USED are swords, grenades and rifles. The tactics are merely dash, uppercut, shoot. As far as I can tell, gameplay is far blander than it is today. As much as I understand what people are saying about kStyle being a series of glitches that throws off the game, by comparing these videos I feel it is a change for the BETTER. The second video shows almost every weapon in use, in different forms. The gameplay has far less repetition and far more action than I see in the older version. It may just be bias, but although some feel differently, the progression of GunZ has made it a much more unique and playable game -.-'
