StormHammer Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Personally, I think they should have an option for higher poly models and textures for the PC version. I hope this is one game where they don't simply lump it all together as one development with the same 'options' across all platforms. It simply doesn't work using the lowest common denominator (the PS2) to set your standards and features. With most of the other games I play online, I can fiddle with quite a few options to get optimum performance, from texture resolution to model complexity, from dynamic lighting to decals. Low poly models may be a necessary evil on the PS2 to get a decent framerate...but they should include appropriate options for each platform. If they don't do this, it may fall to the mod community on the PC to try and make higher res models/textures and try to import them into the game.
Prime Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Originally posted by StormHammer Personally, I think they should have an option for higher poly models and textures for the PC version. Indeed. Don't **** us over with a port from crap consoles.
Revlt Coranier Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I think all the characters and animals look horrible. They look like PS1 graphics. I hope the screenshots are for PS2, and the PC ones look much better.
Nevhision Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 sure graphics look nice, but I just think they're overrated. I think of them as a bonus and put gampeplay first. I still play Quake 2 and homeworld, and I don't care about the graphics. Game devs should spend more time on AI or stability.

I don't care that much about the graphics either, but I still want more polygons in the legs god damnit!
SonOdin Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Nevhision is right! What if you have the game with the best graphics ever, but a fun like going to the dentist? You will just play it 2 times or something and then kick it in your drawer.... I think all the games out there needs a lot more AI then better and better graphics. And the f***ing graphiccards are so expensive....

Sabretooth Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Good Graphics are a must, yet Gameplay comes first. I dunno about the graphics, they look okay.
Nevhision Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Gameplay is good but Gameplay comes through good concept people and design. As for hardware and the engine...AI takes all.
Mountainforest Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Yeah I agree. AI is nice, but since I am playing online most, AI isn't the big issue if you ask me. I think balance is the magic word. Graphics are at the end of the list, they are a nice extra.
Sabretooth Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Graphics? End of list? You want to play Battlefront as a 2D, 1980 video game? :eyeraise:

fuzzyfreaker Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Here you go! Lucasarts has looked into this post and changed their game so graphics are their last priority! First Screen! Although, i have to admit, gameplay does come a little bit ahead of graphics in my book.
Sabretooth Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I'm with the black team! (They are the Imps, right?) Go my ping-pong bat!!! Hit 'em with the best lasers!
Mountainforest Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 No, I'd never like BF to be a 1980's 2D game, because nobody except me would buy the game. I could play the game agaisnt nobody, so there wouldn't be balance and gameplay (those are on the top of the list).
