Spriggan05 writes: Yep this is just a test for there lighting engine, only thing i dont like is that the casted shadows from the world look almost painted. (They might even be) Fri Sep 07 2007 9:33PM

LouiseK writes: Pretty impressive :) Sat Sep 08 2007 6:34AM

erandur writes: right... not impressive tbh.. the flames of a torches move, but the shadows don't... let's hope they don't forget to adjust that ;), and the game is almost in beta and the gfx barely changed yet, don't expect big differences in the final release Sat Sep 08 2007 9:10AM

SpiritofGame writes: ~ Nice views. The game is coming to life. ~ As noted by the Devs, this is only the beginning of the lighting process. More "mood and ambient" lighting is yet to be added. Sat Sep 08 2007 11:34AM

kevmachine writes: Not bad, pretty good lighting so far. Honestly I was expecting mabey a bit more, but it's a start. Sat Sep 08 2007 11:58AM

maddbomber83 writes: No HDR yet. Hope they get that into game to help beaf up that lighting. Dynamic shadows for torches would be a smooth touch as well. Sat Sep 08 2007 1:45PM

Archin writes: This is looking great, as you can see the orcs arnt receiving anything but static lighting atm, dynamic lighting hasnt been added yet (in that footage anyway) but when PC's take on dynamic lighting (as in the login screen movie) its gona look so sweet! Sat Sep 08 2007 3:29PM

Cylob writes: nothing revolutionary here: EQ2 still looks better and is 3 years old now, same goes for LotR: looks way better... not final yet, so things might change. Sat Sep 08 2007 5:08PM

Lightleaf writes: erandur, you should read over your comment. "the game is almost in -BETA-..." It's not released and beta stage doesn't really mean anything, it just means they are allowing more useless, unhelpful critics like yourself into the game instead of dedicated testers who feedback on everything.

Zaktharan writes: Hmm... Looks nice. I can't understand you, lads. What arr ya waiting fer in MMORPG? Cutest graphical effects? Go and see it in single-player modern RPG's. I just want to play in WAR and walk Altdorf freely. See ya there, lads.=) Sat Sep 08 2007 6:31PM

Fion writes: Hmm yes impressive. Light maps.. a technology in games since Quake. Hardly new to MMOGs even, though it is used nicely in some places it basically just comes down to a 'glow' with fire. I'm not impressed in the least. And why do all these videos say 'pre-alpha footage' when they are brand new, (this was from Leipzig GC 2007,) and beta has been going on for months now. Work in progress, of course. But it's hardly pre-alpha. Sat Sep 08 2007 11:20PM

Fion writes: I should have trusted my gut when I saw that 'login screen' video. Everything about it screamed 'prerender' to me. With this lighting system being little more then lightmaps, and fully static, then yea, that video was a full blown prerender. I should have known. Sat Sep 08 2007 11:22PM

bohemian5 writes: it makes it a little more appealing Sun Sep 09 2007 12:55AM

jabbuk writes: It says on the video pre-alpha. What you expect? Graphics look good for a pre-alpha to me. And even polished game graphics never look as good in a video or even in alot of SS's. Sun Sep 09 2007 11:41AM

Fion writes: But it's not pre-alpha, it's brand spanking new, as in released just 2 weeks ago. They 'just' began to show their lighting engine and this was the first video released with it. When a game is in beta, anything new is also beta. They are just covering their asses Sun Sep 09 2007 7:18PM

Owesta writes: The world looks just like the tabletop version drawings in the rulebooks.. pretty nice i must say, cant wait till this hit the shops. Mon Sep 10 2007 4:00PM

skyhigh32 writes: Yes, great progress so far keep it coming! Sat Dec 15 2007 11:46PM

fattygone writes: goldshire? dude that looked nothing like goldshire , stupid wowfanboi. Sat Jul 05 2008 10:41PM

Shadowstrife writes: actually that second place they showed DID look alot like goldshire. if you're looking at the inn from the blacksmith place, yeah it does look like it. n believe me when i say wow is shit and even then that looked similar to goldshire Sun Aug 24 2008 8:49AM
