This game dose alot of things varry difrantly than other MMO's that thay may need to take a few hits on graphics for  WOW dosnt have to have hit boxs's for one in other MMO's you dont have to activly hit your target were as darkfall you do,

Also i can walk through every PC,NPC in wow. HELL some boss's the best way to beet them is by standing inside of them,

the targiting systome in games like WOW, ARC2, FF11 and EQ2 saves a hole hell of alot of resources

not to mention things like  you realy cant intoract with the environment in game's like that.

Edit: also No Zones in darkfall

The graphics are not fantastic, but they are by absolutely no means bad either. The game is quite fine to look at, which is perfect because the graphics were always intended to be the middle ground, nothing spectacular but not bad either.

Have FUN when you will see 20 characters like that with full per pixel lighting and prey for your FPS to dont go close to zero.

 

And to comment the pic. Whats so impressive here? Honestly, the human model is just uninspired... grass? every games have that.. trees? imho looks crapy, nothing impressive. Horse looks good, sword and shield, rest is crap. No artwork, no originality.

 

 

God damn hypocrite. First you complain that the graphics are too good and they will slow down the game.

In the next paragraph you complain that the graphics are bad.

Moron, I NEVER said DF graphics is good, i found it mediocre. Per pixel lighting does not means good graphics. In fact DF graphics fails in terms of artwork.

The game, for how few people have made it, looks fucking legendary. You obviously haven't the faintest clue how difficult it is to create something like this. Those graphics look fanfuckingtastic.

Could we stop posting that picture? That orange palette is really ugly. There are much nicer pictures.

Hi

Not been following this game for very long, seem's to be one that got under my Radar.

After reading up on it I am quite excited regarding some of the features, seems to be directed back at old school hardcode MMO's!

What I'm not sure about are the Graphics, I have read a few comments about how bad they are and how dated they are - also have read comments about how good they are!!

Does anyone know for sure if they are going to be sub-par or not?

Are we talking Oblivion style Graphics of FFXI?

Thanks

Just so you know almost every single MMORPG is like FFXI graphics.They do not go into much more detail the ONLY difference is shaders/layering of textures.it does add a nicer shiny look to things in the game.The things like armour and weapons might utilize hi resolution textures in some of the newer games or EQ2,but the majority of the games textures are low end just like FFXI.

Basically from what i have seen in the videos DF uses shaders but as far as hi resolution textures go, it seems like they do in the usual armour weapons but landscape is like every other game low end graphics.In games like AOC/Vanguard you will see shiny rocks and surfaces that APPEAR more realistic,that is about the only difference.Most players do not eve nrealize or notice the shadows/lighting in games so i won't even coment on that.

nvm

Do you really think that picture is a in-game screenshot ? If that was the case then the presentation at the convention would have looked the same, but sadly it did not.

The gfx dont look at all like that guy with the horse picture, it's clearly been touched up.

The Gene simmons picture looks more like the real thing.,

They are certainly not oblivion, but can be turned up to look quite good. All screenshots and videos are taken at medium setting.

Why? What is the reasoning behind doing that?

        Go watch the dev walk through on youtube...The graphics look nothing like this.....It looks like a drab, dull world that is very outdated......

Have you seen or played WARs beta? The graphic quality was much lower than the final products one. Even the animations had a LOD, and if you were watching someone fight from a distance, it was weird.

No, I have not seen WARs beta. I'm just wondering why someone would deliberately not use high settings for a game they are beta testing. I would asume you need to test those parts of a game.

I get what you mean, I'm just saying that it looks like a bit of a common practice. I don't know the reasons either to be honest.
