WOW beta!

[OB1]

Exactly! As I said, Art > Technical. The main problem in this "debate" is making OB1 understand that I THINK ART > TECHNICAL... it's like he thinks it's absurd or something, I don't get it...

OB1's latest comment there that he thinks that saying the graphics engine is poor ends the debate irrevocably proves that after 7 pages he still doesn't understand that amazingly simple point I have said to him about five hundred times. And it's REALLY getting old.

I know its's subjective (I think he said that as a reason to ignore it...) he has just shown a lack of understanding of that point all along. It's like 'okay it might have okay artwork but it's technically so awful!' As if that makes the artwork worse or less important or something. I don't really get it.

Moron, I understand your retarded argument but like I stated ten fucking billion times, since art is subjective you can only compare the two games on an objective level if it's purely technical.

Some people don't understand that a game's beauty can be judged by more then how many polygons it's pushing or by how many new graphical foozles it has. That and the point that how good a game looks is compleatly subjective.

No kidding, that's why I used a more objective way to compare the graphics. I never said anything bad about the art, just that on a technical level the graphics are underwhelming.

And GR it'd make the game have more polys but it wouldn't really matter as much as you suggest. For one as Smoke says Blizz is trying to get this able to run on a midrange system and for them what we see here is too much and it'd have to be turned down probably... only a relative few could run it if it looked much better and it doesn't have much of a point if you're going for a big market. And anyway it looks really nice... sure you could add more polys but this is plenty for their art style to shine and more isn't necessary. Oh if they did it I'd like it (though with my videocard I couldn't have any chance of SEEING it even if I did get the game), but I don't see it as a flaw.

Yes and Commander Keen will also play really well even on a super low-end machine, but that's not what we're talking about. On a technical level WOW's graphics are pretty bad.
