Pictures of the Commonlands

Some environmental art linked by a dev:

Looks nice, although I kinda miss the EQ2 desert / sahara style for the Commonlands.

    ?!? That doesn't look like art....

    Yeah, looks like a screen shot of the land. Looks similar (although about 13 years newer) to the original grass section of the commonlands. Mountains on one side and the grass on the other. Can't quite tell if there's a strip of desert near the mountain.

    Looks awesome though!

    Using assets from PS2?

    Personally I don't think it's great but it's certainly not bad and given that it looks more like a screenshot than a blatant attempt to inspire awe than I can cut it some slack.

    Yeah they had those conceptuals with the huge rocks for Ro, should look great. Those have to be SS because it looks very similar to PS2.

    Thanks Evilastro!!

    Looks good.  Of course it's not a finished product, so maybe it will even be better.  But frankly, that is good enough and hardly cartoonish.

     

    I'm looking forward to getting more peeks here and there as they are released.

  • MargulisMargulis Member CommonPosts: 1,614
    Well that pretty much confirms it's stylized graphics, but definitely looks WAY better than wow / wildstar type stylized.  Looks like a decent mix.  Hey if it takes dealing with somewhat stylized graphics to have a seamless world without chunk loading (Vanguard) I can deal.  Also gives me hope after seeing the god awful concept art released a couple days ago

    After all the stylized v realistic threads that were popping up I'm really happy with the looks if this is a real screenshot of the commonlands. I don't mind some gaudy armor as much as I hate the cartoony colors of WoW and WildStar and similar games.

    It also should quell fears of EQN being too cartoony of that's the color palette and shading that they are using.

    Exactly.  It is not realistic per se, that would be a hardware killer unless you want to chop the world up into little pieces like SWTOR.

    Makes sense that it looks so much like planetside 2 since at many times Smed has said they'd be using the same engine. Just hope it doesnt have the same terrible optimization.

    Hmm it was one of the devs on Twitter earlier today (I have an account just to stalk / follow their tweets) but I cant find it now to link.

    Edit: Also it has a 2013 copywrite stamp, I think PS2 would have had 2012 based on the year it was launched.

    Gotta screenshot that stuff! They're not supposed to be sharing anything in-game. They look exactly like PS2 though.

    They should look similar. It's using the same engine. :P

    Of course it looks like PS2 people its the same game engine.  Forge Light was designed for EQN, but they used it on PS2 remember EQN was suppose to be out first.
  • IadienIadien Member UncommonPosts: 638
    Anyway, I'm fairly certain these are from Amerish. EQN won't look exactly like PS2, that would be silly.
  • ClassicEQClassicEQ Member Posts: 145

    I hope these are EQN screenshots. But as of now I'm assuming this is Planet Side 2.

     

    We need proof :)

  • ClassicEQClassicEQ Member Posts: 145

    I'm searching all the Dev twitters. Can't find any links. Did a reverse image search and nothing came up (which is a good sign).

  • ice-vortexice-vortex Member UncommonPosts: 960
    Those are Planetside 2 screenshots. If these were linked to by a dev, he would have posted the link.

    A game engine does not determine the graphical style of a game.

    Yeah definitely Planetside 2 or Amerish. We're being trolled.

    So Planetside 2 screen shots or leaked EQN?  Disappointing if they aren't EQN as it had quelled my concerns for about 10 minutes now regarding the graphic style, lol

    Yeah, thought so.

    Amerish is pretty though.

    It's a possibility that the OP saw a dev respond to a tweet asking whether or not EQN will look similar to those screenshots......
