Another post about graphics! (Yes I did read the others)

I'll take gameplay over graphics anyday... Besides I dont need it to look realistic, how realistic are Hellbugs anyway?

It's really hard to have a good gameplay when average frame-rate is little bit above 20 and dipping even more in random or closed areas like buildings etc even with those PS2 textures

I agree with the frame rate issue, gives it that glitchy feeling...

@Intamasica - I find it hard to believe that you actually read the post you quoted. Especially after reading your final sentence.

[Mindfix]

Not once have I mentioned I am not having fun, or that the game is boring, or that the world is small. Not once have I said anything about gameplay.

I am really not trying to come across as a jerk here....

I really don't understand the inability of some to grasp that, possibly, graphics are more important to someone else than they are to themselves. I never said I wasn't going to get the game. I just expressed interest if anyone had any knowledge about Xbox 360 graphical improvements in the release build over the current beta build.

I have been playing games since PONG. I owned an original ATARI and Colecovison before graduating to a Commodore64... I am an older dude, I've been gaming for longer than some of the people in the beta have been alive. I KNOW that graphics aren't the most important thing in the world. I know gameplay trumps graphics. I also know that I have seen better skins and textures in other Xbox360 games and am curious if they will be better on release...

My original question stands - can ANYONE point me to anything concrete on whether or not we can expect any graphical improvement in the release version?

@eeyore - thanks, but this is the kind of response that keeps getting posted in these kind of threads. I too, would hope/think that perhaps there will be an improvement, but would like to know for sure.

I guess what I am hoping for is a DEV response at this point... and I don't think that is very much to ask really.

Ok first off................. your GF plays? You're lucky (or lying ), I've been trying to get my wife to game with me forever. She got into GoW series with me some and even played some WoW but no more.

But back to original topic i too would like to hear something concrete and not people picking this topic apart and trying to make it sound like something that i don't think it was intended to be.

[AZAG0TH]

Yeah, I actually met my GF in the Anarchy Online Beta. We now live and game together.

Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity?

It's when you do the same thing over and over again trying to get a different outcome.

[AZAG0TH]

Yes, yes, we all got it... It was very clever.

Seriously guys, it is a valid question and really needs to be answered by a DEV at this point.

I appreciate all the attempts at actually answering the questions.. I do not appreciate people who want to belittle or "school" me on how they are right and everything is GREAT and I am crazy for asking a SIMPLE QUESTION that many others have asked and not once received concrete feedback on.

Again, this is not directed at anyone in particular, and I am really trying not to be a jerk here but repeating the same stuff over and over in all the different threads on the subject is not helpful and never gets around to answering the dang question.

Very valid point. Some posters are overly defensive of Defiance and/or become sarcastic ******s when criticism is brought to the table.

[AZAG0TH]

That's just it though- It wasn't even really criticism! I really just asked whether or not these were the final skins/textures for release or if they would be improved/tweaked and brought more in-line with the PC version.

I am not expecting PC graphics at all (as I have stated) - I am well aware that the xbox360 isn't capable of rendering full-blown pc graphical effects, shadows, bloom, etc.

Well, that's too bad. In the eyes of some posters, you have committed a cardinal sin. You may no longer ask valid questions, or else you must be prepared to feel the wrath of passive aggressive apologists.
