I think it looks great, can't wait to try it out for real and spend a crap load of time just exploring. Bring back the exploration merit please!

I think the haze in the distance is just glare from the star ( I wont call it the sun) and the fact that we can actually see that kind of effect just speaks volumes about the engine itself.

If they can make a barren desert look as good as that, imagine how good it will look with forests and lakes.

the terrain is looking fantastic, its one of the things i love best so far. i was actually watching an friend play Skyrim and i was thinking of having the landscape of Skyrim for an PS2 cont. all the hills, valleys, mountains, rivers, lakes, snow, dense forests, caves, etc would be awesome to fight in.

Works well on my pc (got my mobo back after a month. Works now )

How ever on my iPad I am unable to shrink the image, and when it is enlargened it messes up the site format

Yeah, I can't wait to see some images of continents similar to Forseral and such. Its should be absolutely stunning.

Fog and rocks obscuring the distance, low res textures on rocks if you look close and low detail everywhere else.

Yeah that screenshot still looks like so Mario64-ish at best. Look at those ugly textures and pathetic detail everywhere else. I'll pass on this one even if it's F2P. Unreal2 had better visuals graphically.

Yea I didn't put it together with the iPad in mind.. we may start considering mobile browsers more in the new version of the site.

How does the image start - does it fill the screen?

Hamma · 2012-02-02, 09:30 AM

Ah nice! Good to hear. I will give it a whirl on my iPad tonight when I get home.

I can't tell if you're trolling or you actually think that. For an mmo, the graphics are great, just compare this to WoW and see the difference. But with as many people on the screen as an mmo has, it's impossible to have skyrim-esque graphics. Hell, If I spawn 20 NPC's with the console, it lags my computer pretty bad, now imaine PS2 with that. I'm glad that they're going with a fuction-over-graphics approach to rendering, it'll make the game the maximum amount of fun.

There's a difference between trolling and straight-up sarcasm.

I couldn't help but notice that, on the opposing ridgeline, there appears to be a solar panel independent of the AMP Station. I was wondering how exactly the base perimeters work. Is there a network of smaller emplacements outside the walls, linked to it, or are those structures associated with the outposts?
