Howdy, Stranger!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Of the games that are out there right now, which would you say has the best graphics?

There's a lot of talk in the Darkfall forum that this game - out in Jan 2009 - seems to have graphics optimised for FPS and are therefore not as rich or as detailed as other 'next generation' MMOs.

Whether this is true or not, please could you list which MMO - either current or just over the horizon - you think has the best graphics? And, of available, either a screenshot or two or else a link?

Thanks.

    MUDs.   Truely revoloutionary imaging system that uses the imagination itself.   Said to be crystal clear on even the lowest end systems.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Technical: Eve, Vanguard, Age of Conan

    Creativity: World of Warcraft, Second Life

     

    Have at it.

     Technically

     

    Age of Conan, Vanguard

     

    Artistically, EVE 

     

    WoW does not fall under artistic because its just rehashed art design they stole from Warhammer. I'm a fan of cell shading, loved it in Zelda : Wind Waker, but WoW cartoon style is just horrible to look at. 

     

     

    Fan made trailer of Vanguard, in game, using fraps.

    AoC, I don't have a divX10 screenshots from the test server yet but here is one in DX9:

    Sunrise over Tortage, still havn't seen any other game that can top this even though they surely will come.

    AOC, EVE, and Vanguard I would say.

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

    Well, first of all it looks silly when I post bigger pictures in a thread.

    Second of all, I have a photobucket account and the charge for bigger pictures.

    Besides you get the general idea how the game looks by that shot.

    Well from a technical standpoint AoC, Vanguard and Eve have very detailed graphics, but they lack style and are not that interesting to me.  So I say WoW has the best graphics, they have the most style and personality.

    Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit

    by far, Age of Conan has the best graphics. and just over the horizon is DX10 AoC, which graphics are freakin insane!  If you haven't seen a video on the DX10 version you should watch them.  Easily 2x as good as second place, whichever that might be.

    LoTRO for environment, but AoC in character models.

    MMORPG's w/ Max level characters: DAoC, SWG, & WoW

    Currently Playing: WAR
    Preferred Playstyle: Roleplay/adventurous, in a sandbox game.

    AOC, LOTRO, Vanguard, EVE, Guild Wars, Lineage2....etc..

    1) While acceptable graphic wise  people aren't gonna be playing Darkfall for graphics.

    2) While a good game WOW isn't in the team photo graphics wise so enough with the nonsense.

    If you're talking about game(s) that are currently out, i'd say Age of Conan, future games would have to be Aion and Soul & Blade

    Are you serious?  Oberin 2 has the best graphics by far! http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/93/view/forums/thread/160343/page/1 Check that out!  Ogre Islands got nothing on that!

    NEVERWINTER NIGHTS! best graphics ever in any mmo, since it was the first hehe

  • VillakoiraVillakoira Member Posts: 40

    Age of Conan, but I'm also really liking EverQuest II's reptilian race (sarnak and iksar) graphics. I also like World of Warcraft's style in terms of art direction.

    For a future MMO? Aion.

    Currently playing: EverQuest II


    Tried: EVE Online (will return someday), Final Fantasy XI (didn't like, sorry)

    I loved the original NWN! Even if it cost $3.00 an hour to play back then.
