Now that is just amazing

Sometimes it's because of still screenshots and the fact that their not even finished the models yet. Personally i think they look fantastic, especially when they are in movement. This is their latest race texture update, they are right on the ball.

This is absolutley beautiful, the greatest part is there is so much customization to do!

That skin looks very rough, that model already looks perfect.

This guy looks awesome. You can see the wrinkles in his face. Obviously you must be able to adjust the age appearence of your avatar. I think this game is gonna be awesome.

rathma · July 2004

Yep, there will be a slider to make him from young to old.

The thing I like is the armor and weapon detail. I could care less about the characters themselves as long as theres some variety.

Laying in bed, looking up at the stars, a single thought passed through my head. Where the fuck is my roof?

so love this armor!

It depends on what type of games you are looking for. I, myself, when I play video game like to feel like I am in a whole new world. The graphics take that to a new level. The way EQ2 looks may be too real for some people. Some people, like me, would rather play a game that may look a bit cartoony but still has that edge of realism in the graphics and physics that keep it just real enough for gamers to be able to identify with it.

Looking into eyes of the characters depicted in the screenshots is weird. The eyes just look so unnatural for some weird reaon. The skin looks awesome, especially on the more fantasy races like the Iksar. But the eyes just look so strange to me, I have no idea why.

Just from screenshots, there are already 50 different types of armor, and that's just from what we have seen so far, there will be more.

LoStCaUz3 · July 2004

Don't call me a noob when I ask this but How do you post screens like that?

I think character creation is going to be like SWG's, which would be awesome. Character creation in SWG is fantastic (even if the rest of the game sucks

).

A quick graphics pole.

Helixwolf · July 2004

YOu can have the awesome graphics, but it's the gameplay that matters...... Remeber that.

Eq2 graphics are just simply stunning. Look at this one:

You can actually see the middle guy's veins in his hands and on his neck. The 2 other people are wearing armour that would actually be from the middevil era. They don't have some armour that is fancy and looks like it would be made 500 years after the time the game is set in. It gives the game more realism. The person on the left is using shoes that you would normally see in a armour set. (pointed toes) Both the armour wearing people have curved gloves, which is again very acurate. The shape of the 2 breast plates are very acurate to what they would be in real life. Although you would rarely see a suit of armour for a female, because females rarely fought. Regardless, they have done a very good job with the armour accuracy. SOE gets an A+++++++ for doing their homework.

the graphics are really nice but the characters themselves seem to have no life, they look like robots. taking the shot above look at the characters eyes and their expression, devoid all emotion and both the guy in the middle and the guy to the right look to have the same dumbfounded look. i really hope they do something about it cuz its gonna be creepy looking into lifeless eyes like those

Watch a video of characters they are full animated and even idle realistically, Screenshots are horrible on giving lifeness due to being able to catch the model in mid animation which would make it look bad, such as it does with this picture.

In the videos you will see that they are constantly moving, even if idle. They will look around, Blink and strech. Even relax and bend thier fingers. A

Thats just a screenshot my friend, I can't go into detail how much life NPCs will have. They look at you when they talk, they follow you with thier eyes, THEY TALK!, And he is obviously feeling emotion there... that looks like he was suprised or is in fear.

Simonsays · July 2004

Looks to me like he ate to much chinese takeout and isn't sure if he will be able to make it to the shiter in time.

zcandymanz · July 2004

Dang that clay giant looks like it came from horizons its exactly the same as the golems but graphics on it are much better. Overall i think EQ2 has the best graphics for any mmo. I dont like the way they took the dark elves though they dont look evil enough for me, they are like purple keebler elves-i think elves should be as tall or taller than humans and slightly thinner.

inaccurate, while in most cases females did not fight there were exeptions, joan of arc being the european example as well in the orient female samurai.

Thats not really true anymore. Maybe in the old days when everything looked like %$%#. I didn't matter that much. As of today if I don't like the art design or the graphics why should I waste the time with something I don't like. In my opinion both are very important.

Elliot · July 2004

yes it is true both are very important , but if it came down to it id rarther have a game with crap graphics and good gameplay then good graphics and crap gameplay wouldnt you?.
