Wow, very nice detail on those faces!

Check out that sweet tree on top of the cliff

Very nice... but, I can see through the inside of the shoulder pads.

Funny, I would have figured Obama was a TR.

Oh, yeah. Gotta fix that. Passable in old school PS1 era games, to some degree, but if we've got reflections on eyeballs in PS2, ya gotta fix that shit.

The detail is great. It's nice to have solid pictures of all three empires armor. It gives a lot more of a complete sense of how battles will look, seeing the art direction between all three sides. What your friends and enemies will look like up close.

Don't shoot until you see the reflections on their eyes!

You can absolutely see the difference between areas that have received more polish and areas that are still being worked on. The fully finished environments with all placeholder textures replaced are going to be stunning, although the environments already looks pretty stunning with those atmospheric effects.

Are you sure that shit runs in real time?

(goes back and rewatches AGN footage)

Dayum. Good stuff.

Now that I look at this longer, I'm noticing A lot of reflections. The sides of the visor, the bottom of the beamer, the eyes, the left guys right shoulder, the bottom of the knuckles, and on and on. I really hope this dose not kill my PC.

On the bright side, the game is so complex now that I'm positive that a few VS disco balls will no longer bog down the game like it used to.

Well, I guess there's still net traffic to worry about...

It won't, those are cube map reflections mixed with some sort of phong material they're not reflecting real time objects.

I'm loving the snakeskin style the Vanu are rocking these days, that a TRay fashion addition?

Death2All · 2011-11-29, 04:09 PM

VS easily are the best looking empire, hands down. Those individual hexes on the armor still wow me every time. It's so pretty.

SKYeXile · 2011-11-29, 04:28 PM

man what is with these pussies and beamers, GIVE US THE RASHER! (IM WELL AWARE OF THE IRONY IN THAT SENTANCE)

I have to say i'm at least a little worried this game is going to be slideshow again like Planetside 1 was when it was new. The graphics are pretty ambitious considering they aim for thousands of soldier models running around. With that level of detail it will be using up record amounts of video memory I would think. Would not be surprised if the screenshots end up going backwards in quality over time if they realize it needs to be scaled back. But yeah looking quite good.

SWTOR did a very interesting move in that direction. They had been slowly increasing the number of people every time for weekend beta testing and final testing weekend (which seems to be this week) is going to be full access for all who signed up. A very good way to test server and game stability.

Dont' get me wrong, but it looks like the texture of the shoulderpads. (I may be looking in the wrong place, sorry in advance) lol. <3
