I mean sweet jesus, I have single player games that don't draw that far!!!!

[Synergy]

damn that is awesome you can even see another small outpost off in the distance, i really cant wait to enter the game for the first time and just take in the sheer scope of the game. it'll be a great day

[Mydis]

Anyone see that bunker a ways out from the base?

What purpose does that serve? Does it lead underground as an alternative means of entering a base?

[Hamma]

Each base has a backdoor. But its not via a bunker.

The bunkers are just fortified places to setup and shoot people, some bunkers are connected unground to the bunker on the other side of the entrance.

Whatever machine took that shot had to be pretty high-spec, draw distance that far would probably bitch-slap a regular/lower-spec machine, surely?

Can you imagine that draw distance with pockets of fighting dotted everywhere? Especially the bandwidth-munching Barney energey weapons .

[mikkyT]

The machine taking that picture probably would be bitchslapped with the settings that high (in a firefight)

but that doesnt effect stationary scenes such as the one portrayed... the settings on that are probably above the playable setting and serve only to show how nice it looks

how nice this game looks like ey? holy smock I mean is this the first game u guys have played?
face it- the graphic sux! The trees looks like some crappy artwork I did in school, the bases looks pathetic and the view distans is unexisting! my first thought of that SS was
Sweet jeesus does that graphic sux or wot!!!?

I love that the graphic sux, that pretty much tells they have focused on gameplay.


im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry.

Those screens are horribly low quality. Have you seen the PSU screens?

I agree, the graphics aren't spellbinding. But they aren't terrible at the same time. Has anyone played EQ....now those graphics stank...horribly until the High Res models came (3-4 expansions later).

but personally I'd prefer these med quality graphics over high quality, than to sacrifice gameplay value. I've played many a game where they put too much into the way the graphics looked.

in other words

that pretty much tells they have focused on gameplay.

I agree with this part of simba's statement


My 2 cents

Ther building off in the distance is a tower I believe.

[Tolvy]

Anyone here remember Meridian 59? Now those graphics stunk!

Yeah in EQ the trees look like paper with only 4 flat branches coming out. If you stood at the trunk of one of those trees and looked up, it would look like an X.

Planetside's graphics look WAY better.
