September 27, 200520 yr How do you know... Really, you can't make anything from those screens. It could be cutscene's and the game still is isometric for example... I mean, really, do you see the "Hero" anywhere? Quite a requirement to see what camera position is used... those pics look like crap. Agreed... But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens... Edited September 27, 200520 yr by Battlewookiee
September 27, 200520 yr Thanks for the colorized versions, Rhomal. You know.. those pictures sure does remind me alot of Gothic. And that is never a bad thing in my opinion I think I'm going to like Neverwinter Nights 2! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hated Gothic and those pics look like crap.
September 27, 200520 yr Author Those coloured shots are much better, well done whoever that was. They look pretty good, and since those shots are over 5 months old they probably look a lot better now. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
September 27, 200520 yr I mean, really, do you see the "Hero" anywhere?Quite a requirement to see what camera position is used... Sure you do, I think, the second (or bottom) image has a figure in a very Kotor esc 3rd person perspective on the screen. I can only assume it's the main "hero" Edited September 27, 200520 yr by kumquatq3

September 27, 200520 yr I just noticed this quote on the same page the NWN2 pics were on: Shoofly: I guess my general point is that all of these game developers keep spending so much time on the engine that these games take forever to get finished and sacrifice content for whiz bangs. Feargus Urquhart: We are trying to be as smart as possible about what we replace, change and optimize with the time that we have to work on NWN2. BG2 actually took between about 18 months to make, while NWN2 is taking a little longer than that - but not by much.
September 27, 200520 yr Agreed...But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was refering to the colored pics.
September 27, 200520 yr "This is very poor marketing from Atari." Really? This thread is now 4 pages long. This topic has also been passed along to various websites. Seems to me for Dragonshard being a 'crappy game' these two colourless screenshots sure are getting the masses talking. That, mon ami, is the very defintion of good marketing - get people talking about your product. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
September 27, 200520 yr Poor marketing is only slightly better than no marketing, but this isn't good marketing
September 27, 200520 yr People have been talking about NWN 2 for months anyway. I just don't see anything spectacular about putting in tiny screenshots in a lame game.
September 27, 200520 yr Honestly, these two pics seem to be just teasers of screenshots. :D But it works in movies so why not here. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

But I notice no elevation tiers. Is that an actual hill? If so, then I Edited September 27, 200520 yr by Ellester Life is like a clam.

September 27, 200520 yr Tell that to the special effects gurus of the LotR movies and the SW prequels.

I can only assume it's the main "hero" Usually with a Third-Person view you don't look into your face all the time, unless your character has an odd urge to walk backwards... Ofcourse a possibility would be to "pan around the char", but it still doesn't look like a "PC Hero" to me... Agreed...But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens... I was refering to the colored pics. But what do you expect from Black&White minature screens, who are colored by somebody who totally doesn't know the colors needed in some photo-shop program, and just like us can barely see what goes on in the black&white and thus what to color what way...

September 27, 200520 yr Just the ones I know off: BIO, yours (which from what I know along with BIO boards is the source), this one, the Codex, and Mistress' Lair. That's 5. That's a decent number. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

September 28, 200520 yr Too true. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 28, 200520 yr You didn't read the very fine print on the bottom. "These screenshots taken from the TI-81 edition."
September 28, 200520 yr You didn't read the very fine print on the bottom. "These screenshots taken from the TI-81 edition." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure how many people will get that, but I thought it was great
September 29, 200520 yr At least they aren't making the game for the Trash-80. (The old Radio Shack TRS-80 to the great unwashed) Dammit, I'm showing my age again.
September 29, 200520 yr Yes, but the Commode 64 is greater than the Apple 2, the Apple 2c, and the Apple 2e so there. The Apple 2GS sadly is better than the old Commode.
