Along with today's general release of fourteen images, we also have four new and exclusive images from our recent trip down to Mythic's Fairfax offices. Also, check back later today for our preview of the game.
Thanks to Mythic for providing these images.

Really nice stuff - notice that the weapons are smaller than in the first batch of screenshots. The game also looks a lot darker than before, even considered that most screenshots have shadows disabled.
Note the unique facial features of the goblins and widely varying textures, grass height, and lighting. It would seem the PC Gamer shots were indeed quite unfinished, lacking a lot of texture and mood.
Have to keep in mind that this is selected screenshots and most likely picked to get away from the WoW comparison but I have to say that some of them look really good and the goblins are just awesome
As for grass, tree textures and other environment details we know from the latest DAOC expansion what Mythic is able to do with this engine and we know that they will improve on them over the life of the game. I'm not surprised at all at how good they look and wouldn't be surprised to see them gain more polish as the game develops, I sure hope my old gfx card will allow me to play the game though
I so wanna be either Orc, Goblin or Chaos because they all look badass ... (yes I admit putting your defeated foes' heads on a spike on ur armor really WILL own!)
