    I care more about well crafted content and the game looks fine to me. It looks like they are using Next gen lighting and texturing. The modelling is a bit drab but they do say they are trying for realism perhaps that is holding back their modellers. The models I have seens o far look like they have low poly counts; that can change between now and launch. Also we don't know how big the areas are going to be and how many charcter models will be onscreen at a time. If they are trying to peg the frame rate at 60FPS then they need to make sure not to clutter the environment with high-poly models. they only times I have seen Obsidian(or Black Isle) botch a game is when they put it out before it was finished. I reserve judgement for the end product.

    well, graphics doesnt have to be great, but if we have next-gen consoles then i feel that we shouldnt have to deal with last-gen graphics... im not saying that we are all being ripped off or anything but its like selling us another PS2 game for $60 lol. this is like "HALF-NEXT-GEN"!! XD but the gameplay does look great and fun tho

    Cant wait!! will be great fun! graphics don't have to be amazing for a game to be great fun. remember "far cry" the first one is still one of the best games every made, and it pretty retro

    why does everyone these days care about graphics so much, it about the GAME!

    "when people play video games they want to have fun..."
    way to make the most obvious statement...EVER

    its sad how mass effect which was released in 07 has way better facial technology than this game (and graphics in general)

    @ ResistCombine how was i stereotyping black people? i was just saying he looks like a cool sort of guy that would look awesome in games and giving a few examples of what sort of roles i could see him playing.

    so Dr_manfattan you like to steryotype your black guys in video games? nice

  • Dr_Manfattan

    Posted Aug 13, 2009 4:28 pm PT

    and am i the only one that thinks the black guy, Abia Roberts, looks like he would be an awesome game character? i don't know why but i just thought of him in a fantasy rpg holding a massive hammer, or in a shooter holding a shotgun....maybe it is just me...

    @ PNOIDSCHIZ are you sure it wasn't just the disk you got? i never had any problems with my kotor 2

    this is looking to be te sort of game that i buy after a bit of a price drop...it looks good but just not exactly my sort of game. besides i've already got too many other games that i plan to buy in the coming months.

    when Michael is walking while crouched, it looks robotic. not very stealthy imo. i'm also not too sure about the slow motion martial arts moves.

    so far those are my only issues with the game from watching all the videos here on gamespot.

    If you look closely Duke_51 you will see that his hands arent completely formed. The guy cant help it so dont make fun. Anyway this game looks pretty sweet aside from the main character. I really like the replay potential it seems to have.

    As much as I love my epic spell casting, armor wearing and sword slinging fantasy WRPG's, this is going to be a very nice change of pace. Kind of like an RPG culture shock. Really looking forward to it....still not as much as Dragon Age and Diviniity 2, though, lol.

    did they have to make the main character look like the biggest douche alive

    A really driven role-playing game.... sounds nice

  • PNOIDSCHIZ

    the only problem i had w/ this developer was w/ kotor 2. which was a good game . but it tended to slow down and crash at certain points of the game ,however that was a while ago so i hope they have this game running at a solid frame rate with little or no bugs.

    The game sounds solid, We'll have to say how it goes.........

    Graphics aren't really good (they're just OK), but I guess that means they have worked into another aspects of the game. Well, better this way than the opposite.
