They look too good to be real screen shots of a game.  Looks like concept screens...however, if they are screen shots then this looks very promising.

these are most likely real screenshots, it looks very nice. hopefully you won't need a psycho pc for this game, like hellgate needs

I wouldn't worry too much. Hellgates' requirements came from piss-poor optimization and shabby/lazy coding. The graphics for Hellgate are nowhere near as resource consuming as the graphics  for say EQ2 or Vanguard, it's the underlying code that makes it so bad.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

In one of the interviews it talks about performance issues. Says it should work with even minimal grade pc's. thats just speculation though and we'll just have to wait and see when the game is in beta/released :)

They look good, but not super. I think they are real. They look like Guild Wars, Tabula Rasa etc.

I think they are very real. The models are quite simple, but its the lighting that is amazing. Really good work to make a mediumpoly game look high poly

They're real, don't forget this game has been in development already for over 2 years.

I hope you guys are right about the optimization.  Fortunately, when I headed off for college, I purchased a computer that has a lot of upgrade potential.  But to be honest, I'm hoping I won't have to change a thing - unless I've missed somewhere that this game will feature Direct X10 only.

With that said though, the screens do look nifty, and I like a lot of the concept art.  I really liked the landscapes of Anarchy Online, and certain pieces of equipment (although it was largely...err...silly looking).  Some of the concept art reminded me of the industrial and commerical centers of AO, amped up considerably of course.  So if this game pans out to be the real deal, a true Sci-Fi, skill-based, awesome experience - I'd definately consider an upgrade.

I doubt that the dev. team will fool us with some photoshop made screens after 2 years of hard work. But the engine of the game is still in development.

I also don't think they'd try to fool us with f
