I'll cut them some slack if only because alot of people say eq2 looks horrible but with a good video card, I think it looks awesome in motion. I think they happy medium between wow and eq2 is what would be perfect. A more organic, almost cartoony look like wow but with more shader effects, etc like eq2.

I've head nothing but bad news about this game though. Realy, no one should be surprised after MS dumped them. I'm sure I'll end up trying it out, depending on how bad the news continues to be comming out of the beta.

Is this some kind of deliberate attempt to make Vanguard look bad on Maarten's part? The link to the images is wrong, and when I clicked around to see some images, all the images I see are crap that look nothing like any of the other new screenshots going around the web. That I do see some of the newer group race screen that went around last week mixed in with the crap screens makes it even more confusing.

Is Maarten a WoW fanboy, or was this some kind of mix up?

Here is a link to a french site that has some beautiful new shots.

Why hasn't the publisher killed this game yet?

This is really just sad. Does this game really even need to be made? It looks like crap, nobody likes it, and it really looks like any old school MMORPG that we've ever seen (except worse).

Wow...this really sucks: http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/vanguard/Vanguard:+Saga+of+Heroes/1/100306/100306_vanguard_5.jpg

Not only does it suck but the character models look...off. Everything seems to have that plastic look.

The days of successful MMO mediocrity are gone, WoW has seen to that. I'm truly curious as to why they think this is going to cut it. From what I've seen, this isn't even going to make it as a niche product.

wow...reminds me of early 90s budget CG.

The characters are ok (not great, but ok), however why does their environment look like it was done by rejects from the artists that did the tv show Reboot?
