Thread: Is it just me, or does 2.0 look like it was a LOWER graphical quality than 1.0?

I was disappointd and surprised that my PC couldn't run on High settings (espcially not in Uldah) I'm looking forward to playing 2.0 on high settings. ^^

ITT people who don't know about the game development process

When doing LIVE DEMOS you want a build that you're absolutely sure is not going to break. You want to run it on a machine using settings that you know is not going to cause stress or crash the game. In LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS, graphical lag is seen as much much worse than lower graphical quality.

TL;DR wait til you see official PRE-RECORDED footage to say "Oh my god /unsubscribe"

Or bring a machine that can handle it.

its only lower quality on consoles, but the game looks better for me, like seen on 2.0 video

I don't really care about graphic quality unless it drops to a level far lower than now and that doesn't seem to happen.
Also, like many others said already, it was for a live demonstration.
The game is supposed to run smooth on PS3 as well which can't just be enhanced the way you can upgrade your PC.
ALSO, and this is something Yoshi himself said many times during the presentation, it's a pre-alpha-build. Let's wait til next year when the game is released, set it on high settings and THEN judge if the quality of the graphics dropped to a level we can't bear..

these graphics are fucking beautiful

yes they def are but dont tell that to the glue sniffers posting grass threads theyll all throw monkey shit at you. Its a damn night and day comparison. The shader technology on the new engine is 10000000000000000000000000000xs better than 1.0 alone and all the new assets/ structures etc are capable of producing shadows unlike 1.0 which really annoys the hell outa me.
