New Screenshots from E3

[Hulan]

Ok guys leave the hype for a sec. , the restyling itself looks amazing, but i really hope this is PS3 version, technically (texture res, etc.) are downgraded ... It looks too rough ... Hmmm what do you think?

I think it's fair to assume those are the actual textures. The new engine had to sacrifice something. You can't have spectacular everything, even on the most optimized engine in the world. Even the Cryengine has some real-time lighting issues. Not to mention, MMOs have a rougher time since they can't benefit from batching as much as other games (every dynamic object gets draw separately). The real-time lighting looks superb and the textures are par or slightly above par. If I was to complain about anything, the models are lower poly than the 1.0 models and the anti-aliasing looks lower.

Honestly, I don't think we can expect much better than those screenshots, and I personally thing that's fine. Things look pretty damn beautiful for an MMO already.

It looks good, but lately i have played Tera, and tecnically is far much better than those screenshots, but i'm still looking forward it! , im sure that the final PC versione will be much better

And ofcourse i need to judge a gameplay video

I really doubt those are max settings and it could possible well be the PS3 version we are seeing. Any PC gamer knows, PC tweaking the ini file and this game is gonna look gorgeous. And Yoshi did state that the new engine would cater to low and high end PC machines.
