Comparison: TGS 2012 Vs Gamescom/PAX/Live Letter

[Starlord]

I said earlier today when I got home, I would make a Thread to show the people having a hard time sinking this one in, on how the TGS Trailer that was showed Yesterday is either Low Settings, or used Old Assets from pervious builds ( non-Alpha).

Let's Dive into it Shall we:

Exhibit A~ TGS 2012 Trailer Screens













From all these Screens ( All in HD 1080p) You can see characters faces kinda pixelated, Grass ( lol you know I had to talk about the dreaded grass :P) isn't as green as 1.0 ( first screens we had of La Noseca for 2.0). Water Effects doesn't look to be Fluent, and some of the colors seems to be washed out.

Now for Exhibit B~ Everything else before TGS 2012 Trailer:













If you compare these photos to the one above, you will notice that these are more of a Vibrant type of feel to them, The Faces of the Characters look more smoother like they actually shaved lol hehe, The Big Television Screen Picture, Looks more clear Shadows looks more in-depth then 1.0. Weapon skills effects look pretty, etc.

Cartoony? Hardly, not even close, Maybe perhaps the TGS 2012 one it could look cartoony, but they already confirmed that those were old assets they were using to make that Trailer.

Keep your main Focus on everything before the TGS Trailer and you be golden. Yoshi-P even said, it will look sorta like it is now on 1.0 on low end rigs, but on the higher tier rigs, you will have a Major increase in graphics, the better your computers is.

Graphics (personally) are the least of my worries. What I'm worried about is this:

- How the Quest system is going to work?
- Leveling Speed in which it will take from 1-50.
- The Amount of Content at Launch.
- How Well the Servers/UI will Respond?
- Last but not least the Gameplay Mechanics ( Final Version, SE changed the battle system 1 time in 1.0 Alpha/Beta)
- Assets Placement ( This is a form of Graphics but it has nothing to do with how it looks, but how its placed throughout the map. This is more important to me than Graphics in itself.)

Those 6 are the most important for me in this MMO. If they can do these 6 flawlessly, then I be a happy camper.

( Note: the comparison is how I feel about the difference between TGS 2012 Trailer VS Everything else before, and it includes nothing but my very own suggestions, no one else)

Graphics is just a Bonus, Asset Placement is what I want more than Graphics, if you were to ask me a Question about Graphics, Asset Placement would be my answer.

I don't know, it makes more sense to me that for the 3rd trailer they downgraded their graphics after a long weekend of playing TF2, degraded all the animations they had in place in the other trailers (they weren't quite cartoony and janky enough), and threw a wrench into their server structure so that the video had as much lag as they could possibly fit in.

Your comparisons just reinforce this *nods*

If you'll excuse me I'll go back to yelling about how this game is going to fall down a set of stairs, break both it's arms, and randomly burst into flames.

If you can't tell the difference between the lighting effects, texture detail, and differences in color saturation between the two, you need glasses. >.>

Lighting effects, you can't even, no, the sun is at a different angle, it's in a different area. Texture detail, man you must be able to enhance photos because they look the same to me, ooooo they went to there settings and moved the saturation bar over.... geez

The sun is at the same angle in both pictures wth are you talking about? The shadows are both drawn to the bottom left side of the screen. They're both in open fields. Also the sun is shining on the same part on the hume's shoulder in both pictures. There's much less shading going on in the new trailer than there is going on in the limit break trailer. There was more dynamic shading going on in the live letter as well.

You can see the amount of detail if you watch both this trailer and the limit break one in HD, and yes you can notice a difference.

Why do you show from the 2 unofficial live letter videos on youtube the one with the worst quality?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3pjjbejlI4 is a bit better but still not the best
We need the official live letter video with subs

Wanna have a laugh? Turn on the closed captioning, then turn on the auto-translate function. I'm pretty sure they're not talking about rice and crude oil as much as Youtube thinks they are.
