Just playing War open beta, graphics are meh. gameplay is meh. Darkfall screenshots are better, War doesn't do full scene dynamic shadows for one thing :(

Early days though, but they might as well have called it World of Warhammer, cause that's what it is.

wow has better graphics than darkfall, you truly are a rabid fanboy. darkfall wont be the game you are looking for, i garantee you.

LOL please by the time DARKFALL comes out it will be dated. They may say "I hate" lol hate look up the meaning, but hate warhammer but what will you be playing? WARHAMMER.. thats right they say they wont but they will. As for shadows in WAR I have to agree still to this day NO dynamic shadows yet you play Wowlk and you can turn on dynamic shadows through the console. . I will be playing it but man I really expected ALOT more. And if you played this last weekend (open beta) DONT expect ANYTHING newer than that.at launch. that is sad..

Uh, I'm not going to be playing warhammer.  The guys I know and trust who are "elder testers" or whatever, for having been in beta so long, are affirming that it is both in feel and visually a permutation of WorldofWarcrapft.

DFO looks the most real and has the kind of feel that I coudl immerse myself in.  WAR looks like WoW's engine, rebuilt.  I know the WAR UI is also reminiscent of WoWs.  I'll wait for darkfall, thanks. 

It is like comparing art, its all preference. Debating it is just... stupid. And the graphics are what they are. It doesn't matter if Darkfall isn't in beta yet, how much different could it look later? They already have their engine and textures made for the most part (or they should anyways). WAR will look a little better on higher settings, but its generally the same style, that won't change.

I personally can't say that either's graphics are better than the other from looking at 1 video and playing beta.  Maybe after i play both I'll be able to say which looks better to me.  I like the overall art style of WAR, but that's because i love the warhammer mythology and lore.  I like the graphics in Darkfall that i saw, but they definitely had some animation issues (not enough different types) but then again that was early beta and WAR itself did the same thing putting in a lot of new animations later.  Either way, neither of these games should have ridiculous graphics as that would ruin the large scale pvp that both games rely on... Hence making a graphics argument between 2  games not based on graphics.... well kind of irrelevant.

Darkfall's graphics remind me of Vangaurd, which were pretty decent mind you, but I think for a game that is so PvP centric, it's going to be difficult to get a decent frame rate. Warhammer's graphics are pretty mediocre, but at least there's not too much lag.

I think a good PvP game has to sacrifice realistic graphics for good gameplay. I'm not very happy with Warhammer mainly because of the, pretty much, complete lack of individuality, but the gameplay is pretty good. I hope Darkfall works out, because I like the features that it is promising, but I am hesitant to jump on the hype wagon because I had high hopes for Age of Conan too.

That was a good comparison.

Darkfall screenies look alot more mature.

WoW and Warhammer with its cartoonish look make me think of games for kids.

Well put!

Comparing the looks of the games is like comparing Dali with Van gogh - It's silly because they were both great artist, yet had their own unique look and style.

I love the look of both WAR and WOW.

WoW has the look of its original RTS games, which is really cool. Helps tie the knot between the games.

WAR has the look and color scheme of the table top miniature game  and citadel paints, which I love, because I used to be big into that (More the Warhammer 40K. Still hoping for an mmo of that to come out.)

I look at DF, I see what apears to be a potential decent game.The graphics on the other hand, I don't know what people have been smoking, don't really look that realistic.

I know that humans on WoW look disproportioned, but that's the look of WoW.

a lot of the humans on the DF videos and pics seem disproportioned, and it's not from the style, i think it's from the animation. It doesn't seem to fit the right or something. The faces look very awkward and painted.

The environment looks pretty good. I guess I just have a problem with the character models on Darkfall.

They also look kind of like those old fisherprice knight sets you could buy...Anyway.

Overall, the game does have a cool concept, and I will try to check it out when/if it comes out.
