Thanks Panzer.

This game looks totally amazing.

Is that an arrow up close in the last screenie, or a yari? An Arrow right? Awesome.

[panzerschreck]

yes, an arrow

[KaJ23]

wow first one is awesome

[totalwar-zone]

But please spoil them

[Lord Willy]

That dude in the golden armor might be a hero?

Is it just me, or are some of those edges really jagged?

Nope, to me it looks like no AA is enabled...My guess is that it might still be the demo version (edit: demo engine I mean) as those models look exactly the same as the demo build which uses shader model 3.0, the full game will have 5.0 so there should be some difference if these shots were taken on the full game

It's you, because that's kind of subjective.

Personally, I don;t think they're that bad, better than the demo. Definitely some AA going on there.

[Noif de Bodemloze]

wow... so cool! It's not long time when it come!

[Greavesy]

I love watching the fights up close on this game, the animation is amazing, they've gone into a lot of detail in the fights. Sword skills and martial arts, you see them spinning, kicking etc, very good to watch

[Totalheadache]

Nice pics. I think there are 2 many units flags..dunno but maybe they could have reduced the metallic effect/glint as well.

Less flags/standards means more fps and I dont think that many are required (if you think how many there will be with large armies...i dont know the resources could have been better used in perhaps unit/terrain detaiL)...i'll see what i think come release mind u.

[Maizel]

I think the flags look pretty cool, though the screenshot is taken at an unfortunate angle.

It's a flaggy blob. xD

[Basileos Leandros I]

Love those pics, amazing.

Except the bloom is too much! My eyes!

game looks horrible without AA

Those screenies definitely have some AA, though.

And the the word 'horrible' gets thrown around quite lightly here on the forums.

Even without AA I hardly think the game looks horrible.

Yep. Jaggies 'r us.
But considering how good NTW can look (with AA), i'm just gonna hope that S2 wont be any different, at least with dx10/11. *crosses fingers*

Compare these screenies to the other ones posted,

I really think these screenies have some AA in them. On some things the jaggies are noticable, but the spears don't look completely gnarled anymore.

I don't think you'd notice this level of aliasing much when you're playing. I for one would be very pleased if I can get the game to look like that with good FPS, and I have a pretty decent PC.

[Pinarius]

would be nice, if the horses had a look that is less synthetic.
