ya they look pretty well polished.. and surely better than world of warcraft.
I personally love the low resolution and bland drab texture look. It adds an interesting old outdated feel to the world... Not
It's wierd how every single screenshot they release always has absolutely nothing going on in it and shows a barren , empty , flat and otherwise uninspiring lifeless looking world..
Next to Shadowbane , this game has the worste level design I've ever seen.
Nice work there, taking out a screenshot from an earlier version and trying to pass it off as a current one, makes you look really mature and good at arguing.
Unlike you though I don't see the need to spam pictures just to cover up how badly I argue so here's a link, oh and I just have to say, yes, your version of Darkfall actually DOES look better than World of Warcraft, there's no excuse for a game or its fanbois to call a game 'cartoony' just because it's poorly modelled.
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

What he is saying that , instead of showing 200 versus 200 battles, they show a barren landscape with nobody in it. Which means they have a long way to go.
And yea the grass looks like 1999 graphics
Since beta hasn't even started yet, we are looking at a 2010 release

Even though there are videos of fights he wants SS's as well? Places do have barren landscapes like a desert so why shouldn't they add places like those in DF as well?

"Nice work there, taking out a screenshot from an earlier version and trying to pass it off as a current one, makes you look really mature and good at arguing."
sorry but that's not an "earlier" screenshot of anything. That's exactly how the game looks right now. It may be a SS that was released longer ago.. but it still represents DF's graphics as they are now.
yes, your version of Darkfall actually DOES look better than World of Warcraft, there's no excuse for a game or its fanbois to call a game 'cartoony' just because it's poorly modelled.
uh no.. sorry it doesn't.. and never will...
So let me get this straight... you seriously think darkfall graphics are BETTER then world of warcraft.? BAAHhaahAHHHAHAAHAHah
And on top of this you're saying that World of Warcraft is poorly modeled? Blizzard has basically the best modelers that exist on this planet my friend. There is absolutely no comparison what-so-ever to the quality of World of Warcraft models , textures and level design (and everything else). It's heads and shoulders above ANYTHING darkfall has..
all hail darkfall's awesome models.. and even more amazing texture work.
The ork looks cool to me...Also as its still in alpha they can only get better. Pointless bashing of this game just shows a lack of anything constructive to do
The graphics are outdated, but who cares it is the gameplay that matters. The graphics in this game are tolerable, they dont make me not want to play it, nor do they make me want to play it if that makes sense. It is the gameplay at the end of the day that will make this game successful not how good the graphics are.
Oblvion for instance looks really good especially on high settings with all the possible mod improvements for it, that doesnt change it from being a shallow console rpg though so theres no reason why we should assume a game with crap graphics like darkfall is going to suck just because it has out dated graphics.
Speaking of the elder scrolls this game looks exactly like morrowind, which is also another example of a good game with crap graphics it is not the graphics that sell the game it is the gameplay.
If by some miracle Aventurine releases Darkfall as a good polished game i really doubt that people will not play it based on its terrible graphics. All though i won't hold my breath on Darkfall being a released as a good polished product.

Yes Unless you like looking like Roger Rabbit. Graphics in WOW didn't impress me much at all when I did play. These SS's may look a bit old and grainy but they seem like they will make me feel like I'm in a rustic era. Not Like wow where everything in the game has a bright color full look. Don't get me wrong color is good but they over did it.
( Meaning )Go down into a cave somewhere and tell me if everything looks all bright and colorful. Caves are dark dirty places not pastel covered and three ring circus tent style. I mean for crying out loud some of the places looked like they should be featured on Saturday morning cartoons.

Are they using an old UT graphics engine for this game. The graphis look seriously dated for 2007. Not that graphics are end all be all of a game...but I dunno...it just looks like a fantasy version of UT.
teala no there not lmao there using there own engine they made there doing the grphics theyw ay there doing them so we can have 100 vs 100 battles with out lagging out got to remeebr lag in afps type combat system = very bad
lol if they want a wide range of computer setups to play unlike AOC limiting the playerbase because your computer is lower end But yea thre making it to where anyone that wants to play can play with a lower end setup with out having to spend 600 bucks
what would make more money
40% of the mmo player being able to play cause ther computer is good enough or 100% cause they was smart enough to keep the grphics lower poly look at WoW for an example you think it would have 10 mill subs if it had AOC graphics? or even tabula rasa graphics?
World of Warcraft is 4 years old. Gurantee you if WoW was released tomorrow new it would have much higher quality graphics.
The standard gaming systems that 90% of gamers out there have today is more then enough to run a game like Age of conan without any kind of problems.. I just got a new PC like 3 weeks ago and I can run anything out there on max settings.
Have you ever heard of scalable/engine graphics settings?? no excuse for a game to look bad these days other than if they just can't produce good quality models and textures..
Fact is this game is old as sin. It was built for a completely different time and market and it shows it's age just by looking at the graphics.
hey send about 800 bucks my way ive tlaked to alot of gamers that dont have state of the art pcs trust me theres alot hardcore gamers will have but causal players ussly have ok pcs i have a pc that can probly play AOC on medium maybe but i dont know cause i dont have that info yet cause they dont share it
plus who knows what max settings for darkfall is like i dont think they have shown it remeber there testing with pretty crappy pcs last i heard it was with geforce 4 cards and they give us lower settings screenshots so who to say you cant no one can but them
you answered you own self scalable engine giving us screenshots of lower settings not max lol im actully what max settings looks like
Nice little update. Good to hear DF never will be a f2p.
And DF having outdated graphics? What about all other MMOs having outdated gameplay? Noone cares about that?
And....that DF would need to be f2p to survival? The first beta sign up (2003).....DF got 400k testers. And MMO players have not declained in numbers since then.
Graphics look good enough to me. Killing you all and taking your loot will be as smooth as silk (and hitting the floor after you ambush my n00b arse, with all my gear flying off me and into your own packs will probably run really smooth too)

Percentage of gamers who've bought a new gaming rig in the past year? I'm guessing less than 20%.....
My two gaming rigs are 3 and 4 years old respectively (they were great in their day). I'm holding out as long as I can from buying new ones until WAR and AOC are released next year so that I can keep them another 3 or 4 years.

Nice pictures
and who to say thats not tooken with a lower setting from last i heard they test with geforce 4 cards and take screenshots on lower end settings

That's a pretty lame old excuse that would of worked like 4+ years ago.
There's no reason for any game being made today to have crappy graphics for performance reasons.
Not with the standard gaming rigs available today.
This game has crappy graphics because they have bad artists.. that's about it..
