New Vanguard screen shots! - Page 2

Murr · 05-04-2005, 07:08 PM

I like the armor, particularly in the second shot (especially the spurs, rofl) but the lack of shadow is pretty noticeable in the third shot. Definitely looks promising, though. I'm curious if the "KILLED!" message will make it live, hah.

Tec: are you shooting that fire out of your crotch?

I dig the spell effects in this one:

Why? Particle effects that just obscure everything aren't ever good.

While screenshots are all fun and stuff, and they do act as a good tool to hype up a game - I dont tend to pay them much credit untill it starts getting near the open betas.

I know just from playing DAoC in the early betas though to retail, over the course of 3 or 4 patchs, the game went from looking like utter ass, to looking pretty good (which although compared to todays games, is ass..but at the time, they were good).

the Van screens look pretty good, but a bit plasticy, but I figure these will be tweaked/changed as the game goes on and improved.

I'm really impressed that the females don't have pillow sized breasts. Even though everybody knows boobies ftw, normal sized mamaries are an excellent thing to see in these games.

I'm sure this has been noticed before and I'm just seeing it for the first time.. but... locational damage? Like it says "so and so hits spider in the mouth" or "in the head", etc. Will targetting a mob's leg slow its run speed, etc?

Anyone else find it disheartening that the same exact suit of armor is in more than half of the screenshots?

Pick a new character please. How about a Qalian Gnome in cloth? Or maybe not. All gnomes should burn. Something different though.

Id love to see caster armor and weapons. I'd also like to hear that much the same as EQ, spell effects will improve over levels. Even tho by todays standards EQ1s graphics sucked it was still nice to pick up a new color and a few more particles towards the end-game.

And yeah, all gnomes must die.

Speaking of particle effects, does anyone else miss the old 3Dfx Glide ones.

Luthair · 05-04-2005, 08:26 PM

Hmm, apparently you cannot edit a post and add an image, anyway I found an old shot which I believe is from that period.

Samus Aran · 05-04-2005, 08:35 PM

wru beta?

god... I hope I can get a new comp by the time vanguard gets out. But I'm going off to college next fall... so I'll be poor++ =*(

Whyme · 05-04-2005, 09:07 PM

Teclisen? Hmmmm....

Samus Aran · 05-04-2005, 09:08 PM

Needs bigger boobs ftw

(P.s. Brad invite me because I am cool ok)

I hope you can adjust breast size. Nobody wants a surf board chic.

I hope a game learns how to make all the hairstyles look normal on the same head.
