I've been playing games from GoG lately: Far Cry, Divine Divinity, Free Space 2, Lords of the Realm. Graphics be damned, I love these games to death.

Is Mafia Wars a better or worse game than Farmville, based on graphics? who can say?


Mafia Wars has graphics? Isn't it like... just text-based?

I don't really "want" the graphics to get better. The screens we already have are really nice, to me. But if they do get better I'll not complain, either.

....this question doesn't make any sense. The game is still in development; it's 8 months away. Isn't it a bit unfair to be making judgments about the graphics this early in development? I remember seeing some early pics of Dragon Age that were pretty bad, and the final product looked nothing like that.

Some bickering posts removed.

Not every contemporary game has to have the same sort of graphics. Is Minecraft a terrible game because of its "outdated" graphics? Judging by the number of sales it's seeing, heck no! Is Mafia Wars a better or worse game than Farmville, based on graphics? who can say?

Which Final Fantasy game is better: I, VII, X, or XI? Is your choice based on graphics or gameplay?

Personally, i think there's room in the world for all kinds of different art styles, from cartoony to photorealistic, from monochrome to colour, from hand-drawn to digital. You'll never be able to convince me that WoW graphics aren't just as "good" as Halo 3 graphics, Lego Rock Band graphics, Arkham Asylum graphics and FFX-2 graphics. different games, different styles, different engines, different artists.


Well, one assumes you are releasing a $60 product, not a facebook game or indie cheapie.

Again, the early stuff from DAO was released in 2008, about 1 year before it was released.

And DA2 is coming out in about 5 months and they no doubt need it wrapped up a decent amount of time before then.

Try 5 months away. The early screenshots/videos of DAO were from 1.5 years before it was released. I'm only saying so people don't get dissapointed, I don't care about graphics

I just hope they improve the environments, Feeling like my character is walking trough a forest would be pretty cool. Well made and detailed environments always adds to immersion.

It's a similar length of time to DAO's original planned release in Spring, after which most of the time was spent porting it to consoles rather than changing things.

That video was leaked like 6 months before it was even announced (it came out almost 2 years before TW2 actually comes out)

Here's a more accurate video:


And here's a walkthrough video of all the stuff it's gonna have:

Subjective/Relative/Evolving.


This whole thread is.

...and for the record I think the GAMEPLAY graphics look very nice. I was a little confused by the op comparing it to Lost Planets movie graphics.

I would rather have more expansive environments than more detailed ones, if I had to choose. I'm playing Origins right now, and if anything it would be character models, not environments, that need improvement.

Most expected? Are you going to give birth to it?

Again it's an in-engine dialogue scene, same as the DA2 shot.  Lost Planet looks like that (on PC anyway).
