The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

the thread was a little TL/DR but i thought i'd just clear something up for everyone, the box in the bottom right with the green and red squares, is a packet meter, showing connection information in a manner that most people would disregard. it's basically the send Recieve bar with some steroids in it's system.

No reason for a packet meter to look like this. We aren't even sure if this was taken in a "real in-game situation". I hardly doubt that the client was running on several machine, all connected to the same server, that the whole map was generated, etc.

Even if Yoshida confirmed that this was a screenshot taken from an in-game scene, it could simple have been a static scene that took 20 minutes to get generated on screen. The UI and everything else just got photoshopped and added afterwards to basically show what they -intend- to do, rather than -what they already have done now-.

Aye, i never said it was anything beyond a concept ui with stuff rendered on the graphics engine to go under it. So i suppose what i should have said is that they're proposing doing away with the old S/R and putting a packet monitor in instead. a simple coloured ping icon would suffice for most people though.
