You still wanted to argue, I was merely stating that the graphics are crap and the pics aren't awesome. I understand they need to make sacrifices but when I first saw the screenshots they were crap so I said it, get over it. I said the graphics look like a free-to-play game and they do. They look like pics taken from 5+ years ago but you all think they are awesome. I was merely stating that they look horrible... all fuzzy and blurry, the rocks are blurry, the squares coming off the corners of the lightning are blurry, the details on the tanks are blurry. So why is everyone saying they're awesome??? Maybe compared to PS1... I said that I didn't want to look at those graphics for 5 year, that was a personal statement, we cant make those anymore? PS2 isn't going to be made by the graphics or whether its free-to-play or if your best friend doesn't want to play it..., PS2 will be made from the gameplay, this was proven in PS1 when you couldn't play to save your life from all the lag. If you wouldn't jump to conclusions and actually try to hear me out... You guys are all trying to cut me down to size and dis all over me, but I didn't insult any of you, but you feel the need to insult me and say I'm on crack and I'm retarded... How about you stick to the topic next time...

If you would of actually taken the time to read the post from the beginning you would of seen that I stating performance > graphics... and that "I" didn't like the screenshots cause they didn't look good; they weren't crisp enough. But your fanboy rage went into effect and had to dis all over me cause I wanted to state an opinion. The opinion was that compared to the games that are currently being released the screen is not awesome, It looks like a free-to-play game and that I would rather pay for better quality. You just said it was true lol. I know they need to make sacrifices... but the reason the game wasn't released in March was cause they used a new graphics engine, not very much graphics.... I'm stating that the graphics don't look all that hot.... If we can't have a conversation about a game WTF are the forums for??? We are just suppost to agree with everything everyone says and act like a bunch of tools?

Yes I read, "When I send out screenshots or pics unless I say otherwise or it's some art work in progress in Maya or the terrain editor, it's always 100% in the runtime game client no photoshop no trickery. I'm not doing a bunch of trickery in these shots except by flying to get certain camera angles - 100% legit game screens, that means sometimes theres temp assets, proxy objects, etc in them, but I trust you guys to look past that."

This is no excuse to send out crappy looking screens and you want someone to think your game in good. I also wasn't comparing just the magriders screen, it was also the lightning screen. Which didn't apply to that statement, because the lightning SS was uploaded to joystiq and not PSU.

Ladies and gents, new weapon from NC

The graphics don't look like crap. Graphics = model detail, shaders, ambient effects. If you look at any MMO on the market, PS2 is currently superior when you look at their combined volumetric effects, shaders and model details.

When you compare PS2 to other FPS's which don't need to worry about MMO numbers of players, it gets a lot closer. The people here on the forums tend to like PS2's art direction more than most of those other modern FPS's, but that is a matter of opinion.

As for some of the environments not having a lot of detail, as in a bunch of rocks and clutter and vegetation to flesh out the environments, that's because it's still in alpha. You'd have to be stupid to expect them to have all of the outdoor environments finished when they haven't even completed the base designs.

It is very generous of the developers to give us this much info this early in the development and we as the fans have a certain responsibility when looking at the images. We have to remember that this is a work in progress.

Higby was showing us a picture of the Magrider, which we hadn't seen clearly until now. It doesn't matter what is behind them, it was just whatever happened to be in the area when he took the pic.

You are entitled to your opinion if you don't like the art direction of PS2, but you are factually wrong if you think that PS2's graphics engine isn't competitive with modern FPS's, to say nothing of MMO's which notoriously tend to have inferior graphics. Being unhappy with the level of polish and eye candy is just retarded at this stage of development.

Get some better perspective Protozoan. Why are you even here? Wait until the game nears release if you can only thrive on picking apart every minute detail. Alpha and beta are clearly not for people like you. Most of the rest of us can understand that the game is a work in progress and are happy to get a look at what ever we can. We just keep in mind that it won't be fully representative of the final product.

Looks nice guys! I think I could do 360s through TR & NC infantry with that thing to cut them all in half.

...I wonder, if you hot-dropped it from a fast moving air vehicle, would it skip across water? :P

Mythbusters has taught me that you can skip anything across the water if it's moving fast enough

The Magrider just does it in style.

Your not making any sense, you keep saying the game is in alpha, but then you say it is superior to any mmo on the market. That's impossible cause its not even finished. Your contradicting yourself lol. You've never played the game and you don't work for SOE so honestly you don't have a clue what your talking about. I WAS STATING THAT COMPARED TO OTHER MMOFPS the screenshot looks like crap and you guys keep saying that the screenshot looks better then any game on the market, when its been said the game is in alpha, and that the background graphics are suppost to be ugly... So how exactly does that add up? Your all retards and your letting your fanboy rage come out when I was simply comparing the 2 for discussion and I was treated with rage. I don't know everything about the game, so ya I could be wrong and ya I could be leaving stuff out, but that is what a forum if for, not to call people retards but to discuss the game.... and the screenshot of the magriders...................

Seeing as there is a gameplay video on youtube, and that if you say the game is in alpha, then everything I've said is correct, the screenshot is suppose to look like crap cause its in alpha, all you retards had to do was explain that, instead of arguing with me when you have nothing to back up anything your saying; Except to disagree with everything I say..........

Superior my ass. I can name 10 games that are better then PS2 right now. That's like saying something is going to be something it isn't even yet. Don't get ahead of yourselves. I'm a fan of PS2, but I have a right to say what is on my mind. So don't tell me where to go and what to do. I'm no tool that agrees with bullshit even though I know it isn't.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2005, Call of Duty 2 2005, Battlefield 2 2005, There is more detail on tanks in these games then the screenshots. Know what your talking about fool. That was 6 years ago...

duomaxwl · 2011-11-16, 12:42 PM

If you don't like the graphics than go play something else. Does it have to look photorealistic to be a good game? No.

I stated that the game looks like old graphics, and it does because its in alpha and it needs to be dulled down to increase performance. I've said 3 times that performance > graphics, you guys are just arguing with me to argue, your not even thinking about anything I say. You just say the opposite of whatever I say lol. Pointless community to try to discuss something. Must be left over rage from having to deal with SOE after all this time lol.

wb Duke!

And please get this thread back on topic, if you want to debate the Graphics of PlanetSide 2 lets start another thread for it. This topic is about vehicle customization since that's what the screenshot shows.
