I dont know why people follow this thing. It's just like WISH was. Overhyped nonsense.

Yet you come here to enlighten us with your foresight, why? Do you really care if some people are getting excited about a game that does have some promise. I don't see how such a post is productive for a topic with the title of "Screens of a World I find amazing!"

But thanks for automatically assuming you know how good the game is going to be, i'll be sure to request your advice when I buy my next lotto ticket.

eat what? DnL's graphics look about 3 years old. Asherons call 2 looked better and it was released 3 years ago.

AC2 vs. DnL


Landscape

AC2 gold
DnL beta
-------------------
DnL winner by a landslide


Avatar

AC2 Gold
DnL beta
------------------
AC2 slight edge


City scape

AC2 Gold
DnL beta
-----------------
DnL wins comfortably (much more realistic)

AC2 is not bad at all. Leans a bit towards cartoonish, but still good. Willing to bet DnL ups the ante on avatar graphics which seems to be its only soft spot.

DnL graphics are merely "acceptable".

They're nothing to gawk over. DAOC has the same or better than DnL graphics..

and if you don't think so than just watch this video..

DnL has great scenery at a distance, anything up close though and the textures just looks like crud. They had to do it that way becuase of the massive draw distance  to try and get a decent FPS. It's a trade off,  you don't get anything for nothing in computer graphics so you have to pick either long draw distance or larger textures for more detail up close.

Jackdog have you ever seen games that use low polygon character models at greater distances and high polygon models at closer distances? In DnL the detail level increases and decreased depending on how close you are to something.

Look at some of the interior screenshots, in this post, with a woman in it standing in a room with some sort of canvas on the wall and think again whether the close-ups look like crud ::::02::


Jackdog, you're just a troll who makes stuff up just to bash the game ::::12::
