Tiaa Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I mean...REALLY? I know the textures in this game are bad but did the screenshots Bioware chose to use in what is essentially an "advertisment".... LOOK at this: http://www.swtor.com/gameupdates/?intcmp=sor_bwa-mkt-t-us-hp-019 These pictures are FILLED with "jaggies" and taken at LESS than average quality. It's like Bioware just went in, took some random crap screenshots... I would do a better job taking shots being DRUNK. Do you guys care about ANYTHING? ARGHHHHHHHHHH!

Rafaman Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I looked at them earlier and... I don't see much to indicate low rez graphics. However as with most games, I take such screen shots at face value; more of an approximation of what the final product will be like. Hard to tell from these pics what the graphics deficiencies might be. Looking forward to the PTS patch on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifoldgodhead Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Looks pretty sweet to me. In one it looks like a yeti is shooting lasers! Pwned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ighten Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Nothing wrong with them.. They do have some jaggies but its obviously using the ingame AA (which does seem to miss some areas) rather than forcing it from outside and TBF that's the way they should show it to avoid trolls stamping there feet and screaming that theirs doesn't look the same. Your doing the opposite which is a bit bizarre Edited January 19, 2013 by Ighten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onallion Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 They're shots of the game at maximum graphics and AA - so what's wrong with them? If they used increased AA from an outside source to deal with the little jaggies (which I honestly barely even see, your monitor must have a low resolution) that would be false advertising.

It's like Bioware just went in, took some random crap screenshots... I would do a better job taking shots being DRUNK. Game developers often publish screenshots without anti-aliasing on, as those shots aren't seen most in a fullscreen view but rather re-used on gaming websites and will be shrunk down to fit the page. It looks smoother to view a shrunken non-AA'ed screenshot than viewing one which did have anti-aliasing over it. Check for example this picture: http://www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/en/gameupdates/1.7/Gree_Event_5.png Jegged edges on the door, on the tentacles, on the tent, in the background, etc. However, when gamefront for example reported on it, they included it in their article like this: http://cdn2.gamefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/swtor-patch-1-7-gree-590.jpg?cda6c1 Hardly any of the jagged edges are still visible. If it would have been anti-aliased up front, rather than getting crisp looking edges you'd end up with smoothed, blurred edges as you reduce the resolution. Which is not what you'd want to see.

SNCommand Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Remember when we complained about screenshots being touched up and how it's false advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should buy a new monitor + graphics card? CRT monitors on 16 colours VGA cards are no longer supported in SWTOR.

CRT monitors on 16 colours VGA cards are no longer supported in SWTOR. no the pics look fine as long as you don't blow them up. like the other person said as a smaller image it looks much better but at full size you notice all the bad things. so maybe you are the one that needs a new computer and monitor...or just glasses could help too B^P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
