WAR Closed Beta has started!

[Blackulaa]

Are you talking graphical style or realistic graphics? From what I've seen they have a unique style going. Plus we all know what grat realistic graphics get certain MMO's these days.

Or are you suggesting WOW takes full advantage of the down payment early adopter video card you purchased?

It's not always about "graphics". I'll reserve judgment till open beta anyway.

[Wilfan]

I'm talking vast single texture surfaces, mostly absent small 3D objects (bushes, stones, lamps etc.) and "too much brown" syndrome. You can see a lot of that in the public videos.

[Blackulaa]

I will agree with that. I think they have enough time. If it doesn't work out there's always beer and sex to fall back on.

Didn't AoC's beta build look unpleasing to the eye for awhile?

Because its great now.

I still can't believe all these beta testers only talk about graphics. Most people posting in this thread don't give a fuck what you think about the graphics. So when you can break NDA how about you come back and give us your WoW fanboi negative thoughts about everything else BUT graphics?

You can discuss graphics because there's videos floating, and themselves release screenshots. At some point in this thread we started breaking NDA quite bad, and I(and a few others I guess) got banned. That's why this thread has become quite sterile since then, I don't really feel like getting banned to talk about a game I don't like or play. You'll see when they start open beta, I'm sure some people will like it, and others will hate it. Same with every game.

Gotta let the graphics go. I'm more interested in gameplay. I can forgive the lack of bushes if the gameplay is there.

[Dontauro]

I'm not saying the graphics are good or bad. I'm just saying let it go and quit shitting up this thread with it. If this thread is gonna die without graphics talk then I'd rather it be that way then another "graphixsuxlulz this game will be shit" post.

Like Moon said, more interested in gameplay. I can't wait to get my hands on the game just for the gameplay alone. Finally seeing the Warhammer universe in a new perspective will be refreshing to say the least.

[Narale]

Personally, I don't find the graphics amazing. Artistically its very well done and consistent. I feel like the textures themselves are of to low quality to be impressive these days though.

I will however say that if they can get a great lighting system into the game (which is not currently there and isn't in the screenshots or videos either) then the game could be as visually appealing as WoW is.

[Glaive]

Considering that it's still beta and it's well known that the game is purposely using a build with graphics cranked down hideously low, I just don't see a point in shitting up the thread with people complaining about something that's inherently invalid. To me, it's like bitching that the new Chevy Camaro sucks because it has no radio or soundproofing and not taking into account that you were looking at a test vehicle used for monitoring performance.

I don't think discussions of graphics are inherently stupid or inappropriate for this thread, I'd just prefer that they are adjusted for the proper context.

[Twobit Whore]

The game runs a SHITLOAD better than it did a few months ago. I didn't understand how something so ugly could run so bad but they fixed that. Now it's just ugly. I'll reserve final judgement until they say the high res options and lighting is in.. or if it nears release without them I will just assume that's it.

[Broham]

Twobit, you failed to read the last 5 or so posts where people are saying how little of a fuck they give about the graphics. If you want to try to break NDA at least give some good info on gameplay.

[Furism]

WAR graphics are fine. They are on par with WoW. They are just more gritty. Also, they have dynamic lighting which WoW doesn't have.

In your opinion. WoW graphics look just fine to me. I think style is more important than having incredible technology.
