Breaking down some of the screenshots

[Croy]

It has the possibility of looking amazing if the textures aren't crap. I am a bit worried that making a more accessible game engine also means dumbing down the graphics. Hopefully it simply means streamlining or making the code more efficient. While I agree it is probably 'alpha' I find it hard to agree that someone would purposely take screenshots on medium settings. As is, the textures are pretty hideous x_x

As others have mentioned their production work station is designed to show stuff off at only standard quality/mid range settings. There is no way they are going to downgrade the textures, they will make it available for higher end computers if they can use them. Honestly for once its refreshing to see a company not bullshot the hell out of game screens where only but a few can see it that way, but at the same time seeing these reactions I know why most companies do use bullshots.

I found the CC interesting.....



If you tilt your head there's additions of note:

-lip color
-eye shape
-hair features (hopefully includes most hair and not just a few)
-tail shape
-tail length
-ear shape (A B C or D)
-ear size
-chest
-build (!?)

Sorry if someone posted already but I skimmed the thread and did not see it.

Graphics are great, you dont need a 2048x2048 texture of dirt and grass, stop crying. ffs lol

Also i dont think its "alpha", they said its all finished up and now its just putting in content, if anything its Beta, even pretty much finished just additions and content.

We will know for sure tomorrow when more is explained in the interviews!

I know i'm really excited to hear what will be revealed!! It's obvious from those pics, that Yoshi knows what he is doing, with his MMO xp. Nice job Yoshi!

What do you think those 3 icons on the top left ? Maybe Server, or Nation?

I think that's exactly what people in the "hater camp" would want to hear. And I would get it if someone was screaming "OMG 2.0 BAD TEXTURES SO FAIL RELAUNCH FAIL FAIL" that you would call them haters, but stating that the textures are bad, which they are compared to what we have ingame today, is hating on the game? At what graphical quality of the textures would it not be hating to call them out? If they were just a singel color?

Nobody is saying (as far as I know) that those are the only textures that are gonna be released, or that that is DEFINITELY the best settings, most are just saying that the textures are bad compared to the ones we have ingame today, and would like to hear that they're planning/have higher resolution textures ingame for the computers that can handle it. And yes, I could live with them sure, but I don't like downgrading from something better that I have today.

And if I have missed some post that was actually doing some real "hating" just disregard what I wrote and pretend you didn't read it :P
