Like I've said earlier, it looks like they've upped their shaders big time. Looks great.

 

[Nesh]

its getting better and better visually

stunning

It appears all the dermatologists died in the Great War of 2028.

They and phone sanitizers were the first with their backs against the wall when the revolution came.

No AA, must be real.

 

[AntShaw]

Whoa.

Can't wait to see this one in all it's glory. I was lukewarm to this last year, but, since I have seen some gameplay footage, and if they keep upgrading like this. Whoa. (Joey Lawrence style.)

And yet I think this game's primary strength will have just about nothing to do with graphics and just about everything to do with sheer quality, depth, captivating the interest of the gamer-that`s what Bioware does best.

That headshot posted is actualy quite old, and I don't think it's really representative of the ingame model, there are a few newer shots that look more realistic, not as great, but still quite nice:

Personally, I think these two shots are the most stunning, especially when seen in 720p:

It looks so damn crisp, it's great. I really dig the design/direction for that alien guy; he has a bit of a feline look. The resolution of the face textures is pretty far out, almost like it was out of an IHV's tech demo.

 

[22psi]

Simply amazing.

From the 720p shot:

This HAS to be a bullshot...there's just no way...is there?

 

[AlNom]

I'll tell you this, it's a heckuva UV mapping. It could be a cut-scene type of deal ala Gears (load in higher res for the close-ups). Even the red flap has flaws so....

ummm, this looks like sex on a screen :smile:

There are chances for that to be in-game. Consider that you`re mixing a top-end engine with great tools with a large team that excells at creating high-quality art...so odds are the combo looks really really neat.

the middle 2 shots are very nice. i esp love the electricity effect in the 3rd one

Those pic's...

Artist working on Mass Effect...

"There's a level of detail (LOD) system in place, so for conversations and cinematics (like that screenshot) we pump the graphics to max. And similarly in combat or exploration mode, it drops down so the framerate is faster as there's less to process per character model."
