Lets see if I get your drift here. Fanboys get to make geez this game gonna rule posts and I can't wait till they take my money in November posts in every thread. However I should just post in a single thread? Rest assured my only motive is to urge people to simply take a wait and see approach after release and the NDA drops in order get some honest idea if the game will be worth thier money before sending their credit info to NPCube.
Anyway I started off in this thread posting on topic, I freely admit that they have some great looking scenic screenshots. I just wonder why so few of them actually show anything happening? It seems liek the game is nothing more than big old pretty but empty world. It just sorta derailed into a I wonder why they have not showed more of the game at events like E3. They were there, why not give a real demo? Show some combat etc? Even games that will not be releasing till next year showed more of their game than NPCube did.
I agree this game looks amazing...but whats with that lame looking Dragon? It looks more like an aborted Chicken Fetus. To me Dragons are a big part of the game. They need to ditch that "thing" and come up with something better.
troll is in a weird posture but it is looking better. The trees look very good - to deny any person who says they look bad. I'm diggin it, thanx for the pics
i still cant believe people actually think this looks good. Ill give you that the environments are VERY nice, but the crappy character models and super shiny unrealistic looking armore doesnt blend with the environment at all. look at the stupid expressions on the toons faces on the above pics.

You have the right to your own opinion, and my opinion is that you are on CRACK! Character models look great lol armor blending with the environment? Give your head a shake dude, wtf should armor blend with the fooking environment? It's armor!
I must admit, the last picture looks a bit odd. I zoomed in real close on the characters faces and could not resist laughing. They kind of look like zombies. Oh well, im sure the game is going to be great
Frikkin terrible character models. They look like they belong in Rubies of Eventide or whatever that dross was called. Come one they look rediculous compared to most other char models in games ive seen.
Armour is ..omfg...like...plastic! And the armour sits on top of the char models ,doesnt look worn just looks like ..i dunno ..false .
Environment is okish and would pass atm .
Anyone wanna wager that this falls flat and does as well as say Horizons?
i think everyone needs to know that the character models have to be a little on the 'bad' side so who ever wants to have a big fight/battle/war etc. wont lag out like crazy. so when you say they look bad, they might in some cases, they will get better and will be used in major ownage wars in events and RvR.
Firstly you need to understand what the game is trying to achieve. The models are designed to work in huge 500 player armies, with a huge landscape view distance. This is not the usual 9 player fellow out to bash the boss mob type of game. The scope is far larger than that.
Keep things in perspective, and you will see why thing are the way they are.
What I find strange is the difference between trhese screenshots. Take for example teh last ones posted. The shot with the guy with the red shied isn't too bad, but the one with the catapults even when viewed in high rez looks like it was modeled by Mrs Thompsons 3rd grade computer class. High end/low end systems/video cards maybe? Or renders portrayed to be screenshots and actual screen shots? I

yea you'll notice a lot of those screens are in the beta testers gallery, so obviously there are going to be many different systems with different resolution screens, viewing on different settings.
For one u cant tell how a game looks from screenshots. While in game ive heard good comments on the graphics. They aren't anything to awe at but come on its got GREAT features and its a massive game. Combine the bad ass features and gameplay with these average (in my opinion above average) graphics and you got urself a great game.
I dont know what happen to all the old gamers that played Anarchy Online, Everquest, etc. Cause I used to be extremly happen with THOSE graphics so these work just great for me. Look at some of the other MMOs coming out recently. Everquest 2 still holds best graphics for an MMO and it blows ass.
i dont think a screenshot does justice to a games graphics,it really has to be in motion to get the full 3d effect,i guess then we can judge whether they are good or bad.

the graphics in this vid look terrible. I've been a 2d graphics designer for 6 years and this games texture artists are pure crap.
i'll honestly say that the trees do look really bad, but thats the first time i have seen them that bad.
