Alpha First Look: Video 3 - The Black Shroud

[Aerenvel]

I noticed in the trailer all the critters are the same.
Im not sure if it is just because it is alpha.
I think to make the world a little bit more diverse seeing random stuff not just alot of the same clogging up the screen.
Ideaseer,Rabbit,Snake,Fox,Wolves,Frogs,Lizards,Squirrel,Birds,etc.
Maybe add an achievment and quests with critters in it like finding a prince or princess etc.
You guys are doing a wonderful job, this is just a thought. hope no one hangs me for it lol..

I said critters lol

[Aerenvel]

didnt say it was bland i notice the trees shadows wind etc.
i was just saying more varity of critters everything looks good tho never said it didnt.

I know, it's not toward you, but for anyone who think's it's bland. I believe 100% when 2.0 ARR finale release comes out it will be no where bland at all.

Ya thats why the first thing i said was in ref to alpha. i just watched the trailer you can see like 15 of the same critter on screen.

ah well.. it's these people who have no imagination at all.. first they cried about, that characters look like a downgrade and all.. what is now after these videoclips`?

the flaming voices concerning that almost disappeared. and they will also disappear in some other issues (world is too small, too bland and blabla*) wait for the launch.. and i say it cant even get worse than 1.0.

Yup, I hear people getting way too worried about character graphic models/rendering looking like it's downgrade or something. Yoshi is not stupid to downgrade the graphics unless it's to downgrade 10% for the sake of lag and to see 800 ppl on same screen (which I am fine with that).

But for PC version I feel very confidence that the graphics will stay intact and even if it's 10% less shiny or whatever, I will still be happy because it will be trade off with fixing the lag and 800+ character that can be seen on the screen without causing any slowness (unless the person's PC specs sucks).

I've been looking at alot of screen shot and finding high res version and I can definitely see the character models/rendering is awesome and almost no noticeable difference (maybe the shiny rubbery like graphics is reduce very little) but even that doesn't bother me.

People with high end PC specs and with a high end GPU can pump up the GPU's extra feature to make the graphics even sharper, more texture and shinier.

As for PS3 console, well there's limitations but Yoshi and Dev Team has done their best to make it less stressful in terms of overall PC and PS3 system handling the graphics and coding.

Can't say it enough but I love the new look of the shroud. 1.0's incarnation was really badly done. I can't wait to see how the rest of the areas turn out.
