Looks like a DX 8 proof of concept.

2 reasons:

- This site has a lot of WoW fanboys.
- The models may be nice, but the lighting is shit, making it look not so good.

Fortunately, lighting can be fixed pretty easily, so I'm withholding my opinion until I see the final look. If this is it, then someone at Mythic/EA deserves a kick in the teeth.

Looks okay but very unfinished. And yeah, the scenes are definitely not lit.

Kobalt · 02-22-2008, 04:12 PM

TOO BRO-

Fuck someone already said that. The fuck am I going to post about now?

Is it too early for a turn it around joke?

Hateyou · 02-22-2008, 04:16 PM

I duno I think it looks good. Like WoW but not blindingly bright.

Itzena · 02-22-2008, 04:20 PM

Do we actually have a rumoured release date yet, post-delay?

miber · 02-22-2008, 04:22 PM

Not an actual date, but it's currently said to be Q2 2008.

If it plays like DAoC, I'm all over that shit.

Droppin hammers like a mother-fuckin' Thane.

Eh it isn't so horrible that looks alone would chase me away. I can live with those graphics if the gameplay itself will be fun.

Lost Ranger · 02-22-2008, 04:57 PM

The game more then passes in the graphics department for me. It looks like WoW but not as bright which is fine. I am at the stage now that I dont want to see any more pics, I already know I am fine with the look of the game. I want to see/hear some real detailed reviews on game play and RvR mechanics.

Truth be told I could play stick figures if the game play was solid enough.

Rikkum · 02-22-2008, 07:45 PM

amazing i cant wait till this shit comes out..goodbye hours of fuckin honor grinding.

Goofy · 02-22-2008, 07:55 PM

the screenies look fine.

That graphic is good enough for me to play. Whats compelling is the gameplay. if it can be 70% likeness to wow it will be sucessful.

WillzZz · 02-22-2008, 08:50 PM

The animations I saw in the most recent(?) video are pretty abysmal. The marauder in particular, along with whatever the other dual wielding dude were just awful. The dark elf chick was alright, though.

These screens aren't bad, but they aren't great. No shadows in your engine/publicityshots is just a terrible idea. The #1 reason most Asian games look better than their American counterparts is pre-baked lighting (read: no light cycle). particularly in towns, where you can fake very good realistic lighting and make some fantastic scenes.

I have trouble believing that a day/night cycle offers enough graphically/immersively to counter the drawback of having pre-baked lighting with wonderful art direction. It's a trade-off to be sure, but one that I believe too many games are accepting.

All that having been said. It certainly looks 'good enough', and I won't be playing this game to gawk at the graphics. I'll be playing to PvP.

Muligan · 02-22-2008, 08:52 PM

I don't think you'll see any breakthrough graphics unless some of these DX10 games take off. Vanguard really made everyone think that it's not worth it when games such as WoW are doing so well and are easy on PC's.

I'd say you'll see more and more games look like LoTRO and WAR, copying after WoW's appearence which is obviously tolerated by the gaming community.

We all know graphics don't mean much anyway... i'll play FF 4 (2 US) over any FF to date.

Blumpster · 02-22-2008, 09:02 PM

Those are not new, and yes they look like total ass. Shit reminds me of Kings Quest: Mask of Eternity.
