    I hope these are the low detail GFX because I think FFXI looked better. ( Of course it could just be the style of GFX I like better. image ) There are no shadows, so I'm assuming low detail.

    The lightning FX are pretty cool, though. I'd hate to be that bird! image

    Sure the game is still in beta, but for anyone at SOE to allow these pictures, particularly the one with the glaring clipping problem(the one with the bridge), should be fired. The job is to promote the game and make it look great, even though we all know it actually isn't. Looks like they failed on this set.

    Those screenshots look like ass.

    looks like medium quality - although its night time so no shadows

    I told you EQ2's graphics were nothing special but no one listens to me...

    the reason why all the other "official" shots released by SOE looked so good is because they were on MAX detail which you cant even play on and were taken at perfect locations and angles..

    I don't see a clipping problem on the bridge screenshot. If you're referring to the spear she has holding behind her back..... it's supposed to look like that, it's not going through the body if you actually look at it...

    I don't see anything wrong with the graphics at all.

    They look great to me. Much better than anything else out there or coming out soon.

    Umm, jackass, first of all we'll all be able to run near max settings in 18 months or so, thats why the graphics are scaleable. Second, of course SOE's screen releases are on max, thats where you show off the engines capability. You thing the other games are advertising with low setting screen ?

    Actually, without a bright lightsource (sun, torch, flashlight, etc) you should not get shadow.  These shots were all taken at dusk/night and so the filtered ambient light would not cast shadows. image

    I agree the ass of a pretty model...what are you talking about? Okay I'm not an avid EQ2 fan but I see nothing wrong with the graphics. Lets not start this again shall we. The character models are looking a little better than the last time I saw them, but that blue troll needs something else.

    Its good to see a bit of variety in the screenshots.

    I like the spell effects, but the wing of the bird looks very out of proportion.

    Map looks nice, good detail and clear.

    Sometimes screenshots come out looking amazing and sometimes they look less-than stellar.  It always happens.  You can only hope it's the graphics settings.  At any rate these screens are great in my opinion.
  • ValorusValorus Member Posts: 235

    Screens look really good to me. I dont see any of the problems such as clipping issues. Plus from what I've experienced screenshots, no matter how good or bad the graphics, seem to always look a TON better once in the real game. We shall see.

    i agree totally, all the screens i have seen of EQ2 are great i like the graphics, and no matter what anyone says im still going to play it, and love it image seriously if you played EQL for years like i did, the graphics dont matter much anyways, its the story of the game and all of the massive content. either way this game is better looking graphics wise, than any other game i have ever seen. i cant wait for some more screens, they are the only thing keeping me from going crazy while i wait...

    Actually, I beta tested Wish for a while, and I have been following D&L. I am not that impressed with Wish, but I am looking forward to D&L. But neither looks anywhere near as good as EQ2.
