    What a disappointment these graphics are garbage.
    Gotcha! These graphics are amazing! So this is what happens when you keep things under wraps for a few months. I wonder where the pics come from though?

    Enough of this joke. After Alstrong, somebody else gave me a negative rep. :grin: If your name isn't Alstrong and gave me a bad rep, please PM me to make sure theres no misunderstandings.

    :shock: That looks fantastic. I really dig the art direction, and the water is shaping up really well. It sort of reminds me of the sea-creature demo in 3DMark05/06.

    Vibes of 3Dmark 05 here... Yet somehow with even more brown

    Strange inconsistent level of detail in the terrain...

    But yeah. Looks spangly otherwise :) I don't really like the water, but thats me. Very noisy

    The water, lighting, and monster/dragons are the best thing about the game's graphics.

    So who gave me a bad rep point for "Not adding to the thread in a meaningful way." ? I guess I am at fault though, but use highlight on the rest of the post to see what I really thought :lol:

    The question I asked remains however and it would also be good (and the answer is probably there) if someone could translate the original page.

    I hope the frame rate smooths up in the final version, thats all I ask after seeing these visuals. The water is simply amazing. Gameplay is still in question of course, but the graphics-whore inside me makes me think I'd buy the game just to see the graphics alone. :lol:

    Overall, I think the graphics look very good. The textures could use a little work and of course there can always be more polygons being used, but overall I think it's very good.

    How can anyone say these graphics look bad? What exactly is missing?

    By the way, this is just one level. There are also going to be ice levels, desert levels, and even jungle tropical like areas from what has been said in interviews.

    I hope so as well. As I've been asking in the other thread, maybe someone needs to translate this page so we can learn if these screenshots are from the gameplay or if they're movies or real-time. I think the graphics are very nice, but theres no point getting excited over them if they're not even real-time.

    There's a weird look to one of the shots listed here and a few of the shots on IGN where foreground elements look like they were pasted in on top of the background as opposed to being part of the scene. Anyone else notice this?

    Other than that the graphics look pretty impressive to me, especially the shots with lots of ground troops.

    Wow

    Finally some shots that are not from that bridge level we have seen so many times!

    The scale of those monsters is crazy! Compared to the dragon it is already huge. But compared to the human character it is crazy huge!

    A lot of people have a misperception that the main character is the human guy. The main character is the dragon the guy rides on.

    :lol2: So true ! The dragon should just chew up its rider for extra calcium and energy to take on the big guys.
