I have to admit AoC has some very nice Gfx!

Although i utterly hate level based MMO's, one thing i do give credit to AoC for is their graphics engine! unlike WAR, AoC looks much more polished and smooth by comparison.
So here's to you AoC:

So, how can you compare? you are in the two betas? you know any of the two engines are finished? you know that war is running in the "lowest" mode? that aoc have not improved some code and performance? you cant compare, you can say, that you like aoc graphic cause you saw on a video they are realistic, but you cant compare and say they are much more polished cause the general background is really different.

<smiles> There are not many people that are in oth beta's, actually i know only one person that is in bot... And no i am not going to tellyou his name that would be against the NDA.But to me it seems like comparing AoC graphics versus Warhammer graphics is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)

Then if he is in the two betas, dunno if this is a break of nda?
anyway, just want to say that you cant compare two unreleased games, and, taking in account that their engines are not working at full, at least, as I heard.
lovely.
Just from what i've seen, AoC has the upper hand in gfx. Thats just my personal opinion. Don't get me wrong WAR looks great but AoC's graphics appeal to me more.
I'll make a translation for people since they think that the OP is bashing only WAR. In fact he's bashing both games but that's another issue (at least that's my take from what he says).
"Although gameplay in AoC sucks big time and I will never play it, their graphics engine is more pleasing in the eye than WAR, which I also hate"
Please correct me if I'm wrong

lovely.
Comparing AoC and WAR has no use whatsoever. The "you can't" is not really well picked, it should be more like "it makes no sense". WAR and AoC have two different ways of going about graphics and are aiming for completely different results. It's not so much about can or can't, but about the "why should you?". Both graphic styles will appeal to certain players. But that's individual taste, not a factor set in stone. After all, we are not Borg. ^_^

AoC graphics are clearly better then WARs, no need to get emo couse of that....
It doesn´t mean either game is better then the other,

Sure you can compare them!!
AOC has amazing looking graphics. Realistic, Good use of color, artistic, good animations. Seems to run reasonably well from beta vids. AOC graphics are immersive and make you feel like you are in a fantasy world.
War graphics look like wow rehashed. Graphics make you think of an arcade game. Artistry looks inferior to wow and really falls short of wow which is sad. Bottom line is war graphics suck and only a war fanboi would say you can't compare them since war is so inferior.
But thats just my unbiased opinion

Both are night and day in compareance, AoC tries to be realistic while WAR goes for a more comedy style. Both have seperate sections to be compared in and don't put theese two together. That'd be stupid

And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
They both look great. If looks however was the measure of an MMORPG's quality, we'd be swimming in them.
I don't think WArhammer looks great at all. It looks like a carbon copy of WOW from the envirenment to the Avatars. And I think alot of CASUAL gamers who see it in stores will think" WOW ripoff" and not purchase it. Remember the key word here is CASUAL players. Players that are already getting enough PVP and raids from WOW and don't feel its worth dropping $50.00 down to try it out.
Agreed 100%, oh and for those asking yes im in both Betas and NO what i stated does not break NDA! read the rules

yet you can tell him what he can and can't think.lovely.
You kidding yes? you take two words out of context and say I cant do what you are doing in the same phrase. Lol!!!!

Thanks for your try to explain things, but he already understood. Just want to "fight" a bit.
So, how can you compare? you are in the two betas? you know any of the two engines are finished? you know that war is running in the "lowest" mode? that aoc have not improved some code and performance? you cant compare, you can say, that you like aoc graphic cause you saw on a video they are realistic, but you cant compare and say they are much more polished cause the general background is really different.
I can watch any videos and look at any screenshots that have come out over the past two years and say
'this one looks nicer then that one.'
It's as simple as that. No need to go half ballistic because someone said AoCs graphics are nicer then WARs. Sheesh.
You can see some screens that when the game is released has nothing to be with the what you saw. Why? I explained it before, seems that you didnt read it. War Is using pre-alpha footage, and in beta the setup is auto-turned to LOW. So perhaps the graph engine and the effects have nothing to be with the real thing. AoC is also in beta, and, as the other one, the textures and effects are not finished.
So you CANT COMPARE dont games that are not finished. Cause you will surely miss, you can say "PERHAPS" this will be better... just perhaps... or "perhaps I will like this one more". Also, the enviroment and the background, speces req, skills type, fighting engine, are totally different, seriously, can you compare the GFX NOW? I think we cant.
Some of the blocky facial features and thin hair bother me but that is just my own opinion. Other than that this game looks amazing.
agreed, conan graphics are much better. why would it require such high comp. specs otherwise. And unless your an idoit anyone would agree that replicating realistic graphics is uncomparibly harder then cartoon graphics; everyone knows what real looks like.
Aoc vs WAR graphics is like comparing apples and oranges but only if the world agreed that apples(aoc) were better. Sure their different but that doesn't mean ones not better.
anyway, in my opinion, realisitic graphics are much more emersive.
I just wanted to point out a few facts here. The AoC screenshot is using high resolution textures & has all possible graphics options set to max settings. They do for all videos/screenshots.
The WAR screenshot is low resolution textures with all of the possible graphics options set to the lowest settings. It doesn't even have shadows enabled.
Having said that I like the realistic look of AoC better then the over-exaggerated look of WAR, but saying that one is better then the other is like saying apples are better then oranges (to use the OPs own analogy).
