Shzam Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I kn ow the game just release, and i love it a ton, but i'm kinda disappointed in the graphics department and was wondering if its just because its early play and we'll get the updated set up later. Or is this the way the game is going to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropadeuce Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Is this your first MMO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeseek Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) I think they look good on high, sure there's low res issues on certain objects, but it's not gamebreaking. Coming from WoW, it's a huge upgrade. I also played rift for a bit, the graphics were great but I don't prefer that type of artstyle.

Shzam Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Is this your first MMO? Uh...no i've been in MMO's since text and Ultima dude. But considering what rigs most people are playing on a polishing would be appreciated as many in general in-game agreed with. I like the game and the way it looks, but more polished edging and detail would be appreciated as we progress in time =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesperascit Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The game's graphics are actually pretty good. I think the OP actually has a problem with the Art Style.

Claymaniac Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 They look quite good to me. We might get more polishing and sharpening options, but don't expect anything too drastic. Are you disappointed with the style of the graphics? Or the graphics themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this video: http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/graphics-vs.-aesthetics Uhg, Like i said before i have a pretty high end rig(i72600k OCed to 4.2 and 580SLi) that have blocky item edging and details around most objects in the game. I love the way the game looks/plays but was wondering if there would be any polishing to make it more streamline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agemnon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I like the artstyle in this game, it's very Star Warsy and reflects its universe quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also AA and high rez textures haven't been put into the game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrahling Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 MMO's are made for a mass audience, if the textures were too high mid range PCs wouldn't be able to run it, resulting in a smaller base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way the game looks/plays but was wondering if there would be any polishing to make it more streamline. That's because this game currently lacks anti-aliasing features. You can force them on through your nVIDIA control panel. The rest of these people lack reading and comprehension skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoth Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) The graphics are ok, but a lot of textures do seem to be low res still even when everything is set to high, especially a lot of gear. I hope they do bump up the graphic textures in a later patch.... right now I would say the graphics are between WoW and Rift.... What weird is the cut scenes seem to have high res textures in it but then you get back into the game and the textures drop to a lower quality...

venifacus Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The graphics are spot on for a modern day MMO. They fulfill the duty of creating a believable Star Wars atmosphere, while maintaining playability. The environments are very epic, and the art is top tier imo. In game supported AA would be nice, but its not going to make much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deyjarl Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 But considering what rigs most people are playing Useless hyperbole on your part. You have no idea what rigs most people are playing on. I sure BioWare is a lot more aware of what systems most games have and made their MMO accordingly. More aware then you are I bet.

I have a computer a Athlon II and a 8800GTS that ran it on high and it looks exactly like my gaming rig. And the Athlon is what, 6 or 7 years old? Is that what most people are actually playing on?

PsySHOK Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Massively Multiplayer Online. That is what MMO means. My only guess is Bioware tried to one, keep it original to the KOTOR games like this imagehttp://www.1888freeonlinegames.com/dwgmimg/3310/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-screenshot-2.jpg The KOTOR games have always had that polished cartoon-ish look to them yet, still is reality. They also tried to stick with an art style that would be both pleasing to the eye and let everyone play the game. They have succeeded imo.

Or is this the way the game is going to look? /agree. The graphics are good enough but I was also surprised in beta when I first viewed them. It took awhile but I grew accustomed to them. I like the overall world graphics and think they have done a good job presenting the "feel" of the worlds but the graphics themselves are a bit less then I was expecting. Being a long time MMO player (started with UO myself) I was expecting more from the graphics. I also expect about the same caliber of answers you got here when I post something to the forums...these forums actually seem to be a bit sub par as well compared to other MMO forums I have spent a considerable amount of time on. And before someone says "WOW" no I never bothered to play the game and I have never been to their forums but I do see the mess WOW has created with the MMO genre.

And again you do not know what the average system is like any better than BioWare is going to. Edited December 18, 2011 by Deyjarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelbyWars Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I haven't left the newb area yet,..but I am OK with the graphics. I see where they are going with it,.. my only complaint,..and this may just be me,...but I set everything to high and am baffled by the Jaggy McJaggy PS1 shadows,...

That covers pretty much every mid range computer out there, even excluding super high end rigs. So how do i not have a good idea on on a majority of people have?
