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

saying graphic looks like s*** after looking at only 1 screen shot is kind of stupid imo lol
I say show us actual game play footage with the new server, graphics engine in HD then we'll decide.
Oh and make sure the footage includes outside day/night, dungeon, city to compare.

I agree how they did with alpha/beta but that wont happen too like what? E3 2012 or later

Off you trot, go ask Yoshida for more screens on the JP forums :P

I just hope we see some more before E3 next year, and I hope that trailer is more than just the opening and shows actual in game stuff.

If I knew he was here in LA right now I would of looked for him and ask him personally... while asking to get me in SE....

That's kind of terrible. There's a lot i hate about that screenshot. For one, I hope it's a boss fight, toherwise I see no reason to have that many people in a party. What's witht he crap around the map? Multiple toolbars?

Nice! I like your complaints because they show how good it is, even to the haters.

#1 complaint "the number of people in the party"!
#2 complaint "status icons and timers have moved closer to map"
#3 complaint "multiple toolbars"

I guess some people just aren't happy unless they are actively complaining about something... What sorry lives they must live.

I guess people keep forgetting that the point of the forums is to talk and complain so SE wont add something that we don't want.

No I have to give him, the only bad points are it needs to be cleaner in places (mainly around the names) and I prefer the current buttons just cos they are round more then anything, not sure about the party number.. isn't 8 what we have now? meh...
But as long as we can re skin the UI i couldn't care less give me a reason to do a Custom UI again..

But anyway OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG..OMMFGG,...
Sorry.. ok.. calm now...
I really approve of the new art direction A much nastier an darker feel ftw..

Its on average if we pick specific titles like bf3, crysis 2 or witcher 2. It's not even close if we were seriously talking about 'average'. That's more like modern warfare 3, and that pic is way beyond mw3.

I dont know about "Way Beyond", (Restricting to current gen) bf3/crysis etc, its about on par with mw3 for all I see, and I'm a graphics whore.

But my initial point was, it certainly doesnt look non-real time lol, its not exactly CGI and would serve no purpose being pre-rendered. Dont get me wrong, it looks absolute fantastic, compared to MMO's its defiantly in top (when its out it wont be num 1 though, remember that its a year away), it is very good, and the interface is the best part for me.

Essentially the point I was trying to make.. It is a single screenshot, and like you said, alot of the stuff we see there we already have... Full parties consisting of 8 people. And as far as people complaining about the actual location of some of the widgets.. Seriously??!??!! Even in the current UI the widgets are movable, yet they complain like once 2.0 comes out, that is the screen they will get, period, end of sentence...

I'm all for discussion about the changes, but what I have seen from the people complaining are mostly childish complaints posted by people who obviously didn't bother to think anything through before posting their complaint.

It looks dark.. A bit too dark.. That may change the entire game feeling.
But I want to see more before I can definitly say that.
