More nice pictures... a town from the air, several in a mine, a really cool Water Elemental, an Ogre... :) :)
This is about which game looks better, and athetics matter a lot. Obviously EQ2 can push more polys, but who cares... WoW is hardly behind the curve graphically. Yes the character poly counts aren't super high, but they aren't super low and the environments look great too you know, better than EQ2's do...
Oh, and consider this. WoW comes out in beta in like a week. How long until we get EQ2? I don't know, but I bet it isn't this week... and also how many people will be able to play online with it looking like that? Yeah. Compared to WoW, which will be different...

Quote:ABF, as usual you don't even know what this debate is about. It's technical, not aesthetic. Aesthetics are far too subjective, and someone can consider Mario World to be the best-looking game ever simply because they love the art in the game. Personally, I consider ICO to be the most beautiful game ever made, but I would never proclaim that it has better graphics than Doom 3. Conversely, I despise Doom 3's art style but I admire its technical magnificence. WoW is aesthetically pleasing, but on a purely technical level it's pretty bad. I don't find Everquest 2 to be aesthetically pleasing but on a technical level it's really amazing for a MMORPG. And before you say it yes, aesthetics are a very important part of graphics. But when I said that EQ2 is much more graphically impressive than WoW, I made it very clear that I meant technically-speaking.
