L2 Graphics

in Granado Espada Online
I do think this game looks interesting to play, but the graphics bore me to death. I have seen way many korean games look exactly alike. I played l2 for awhile , loved it but the graphics engine is used by a million different game now including this one.

    Bore you to death? Have you seen what it looks like in game? For an engine to give this kind of graphical quality as well as run well on lower end systems while still looking good is pretty top notch. Not to mention no other game out there has the renaissance flair this one does. Have you seen the looks of the cities and the characters? Or did you watch one youtube low quality video and decide to make a stereotypical response.

    Have you looked at lineage2 screen shots? just curious , because these are exactly the same engines. Anyone can take a graphic engine and make it have a "renaissance falir", you made an arguement that pretty much agrees with mine

    Granado Espada is having a diffrent engine and looks completely diffrent from Lineage 2, I honnestly don't see your point. GE is much more detailed, has a complete diffrent theme, and is more "realistic" as opposed to Lineage 2's, "Anime" graphics.

    oh your right, they look exactly the same. Fool.

    OP, your crazy.  This thing looks nothing like l2.  Oh... you know what... maybe it's because you are blind.  Ask someone to tell you what GE looks like then come back and tell us.

    The game does look like L2, aside from better textures and the realistic style graphics as opposed to L2s anime style. Oh, and this game really takes bloom a few steps too far.

    Takes bloom too far you have got to be kidding??? Guess you haven't played "Scions of Fate" or "Last Chaos" because those games take bloom too far not this one... IMO the bloom is perfect in this game.. Not too much and Not too little... The game in the screen shot below is what I call "Taking Bloom too far"... Now compare it to the screen shot I took in Japanese version of GE that's also below...

    You guys must be kidding in comparing L2 to GE... or you have not played it.  Attention to detail in GE is much much better... unlink L2 I actually stop playing in this game at stages to just admire the scenery around me and the detail that went into it.  There are similarities but heck if a car has 4 wheels, engine etc... does that make it the same as another car.  Surely hust as one notices the difference between different cars and the quality one can notice the difference in game engines and graphics.

    GE looks fantastic!

    On graphical style, I have to say GE borrows alot more from Counter-Strike then it does from Lineage 2.  Right now it kinda looks like Counter-strike Condition Zero.  Also in 2.0 they are upgrading the graphical engine further.  It should look like Counter-Strike Source then.

    I wonder why the MMORPG crowd are rather uneducated about graphic engine. If you talk like that to FPS crowd, they will laugh at you and slap you in the face.



    Do you even know what a graphic engine is? Do you know what graphic engine Lineage 2 is using and what graphic engine Granado Espada is using? You can't just throw in blanket statement without even knowing what you are talking about.



    Let's take a look

    http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/powered/announced.shtml



    Do you see Granado Espada in there?



    You may be talking about art style but that's even more wrong. Although Lineage 2 is based of European culture, it does bias heavily toward fantasy style, especially the environment and architectures. Granado Espada style is more realistic looking and have a lot more attention to detail. In addition to that, the theme of Granado Espada is completely different from Lineage 2 with a lot of Victorian feeling to it.



    Character design both games were heavily influent by the Japanese anime style and there's nothing wrong with that and I think Granado Espada character design is very well done.

    I'm kinda tired of people comparing games by saying L2 Graphics when they don't find out a little bit more on what engine a game is using. I mean people keep saying "L2 Graphics" for so many games with good looking graphics. You can't look at graphics and tell what engine it is. Not much of them anyway.

    Well first, saying a game has L2 graphics isn't a bad thing. We (posters) have put sceenshots up many times in the epeen battles between haters and L2 has come out on top many times even though its getting up there in age. There really isn't a whole lot that can stand up to it in art and style, not even a "new" game like Vanguard which (IMHO after 4 months of beta) was just a slightly better looking version of EQII.

    I think what the OP is tryin to say is that there is a slight  similarity in artstyle, which maybe there is. Again, thats not a bad thing, thats very good actually. One thing many games like this one and L2 have are very detailed and elegant art styles. L2 really only takes on the nose because of the variety. Again L2 is aging at this point but there are very few games that match it in terms of art and attactivness. I will stand my Screenies up against anything out there (and have in the past)

    Dont anyone put down L2 graphics. Would you prefer an 8 yr olds WoW cartoon graphics? That stuff drives me nuts. I am a previous L2 addict, and this game looks like it could replace my addiction. = D At least I hope so..



    These are my 2 mains. =P

    L2 was made whit a custom engine derived from the unreal engine,as for GE i dont know and i don't care, it looks good so thats fine

    btw,none of the good games right now have a similar engine to L2,i heard stupid newbs comparing silkroad whit L2,well turf battles has an engine based on the unreal engine,tough the game looks like shit, who knows maybe GE has something like that yet it can't be the same thing,the engine for L2 was never realeased to the public or anyone else so there is no way to make another one from outside the company exactly the same, tough if it uses the unreal engine, be sure it will have memory leaks after some game time and the game can olso crash,i bet pple who played L2 know about the problems it can have,or used to(only played it when it started),lineage actualy is a realy realy absolutely terribly crappy game! it just is,they relly too much on graphics,they have lots of things in the game,yet it is just a bunch of crap,wow is good yet im from europe and the EU servers are absolutely crapy and can't compare to US ones,realy now every game right now has some realy crappy thing

     

     i consider flyff being better than L2,hell its much more fun, L2=farming,and more farming the best guilds on L2 are farmer guilds...

    Then you haven't played Lineage enough, yes at first it may be grinding, but after you reache level 40, it becomes PvP, specially when you join a clan at war. BTW L2>FlyFF



    Anyway, I think L2 art/graphics/whatever, fit L2, and Granado Espada art/graphics/whatever fits GE.



    Both games have their pro's and con's, one has an epic feeling(L2) specially when you are in TOI or LoA with the awesome BGM. And GE feels realistic with a techno-beat up BGM.



    I have played both, I play and I will play, leaving one for the other, I can't
