Thread: Where has the ground detail gone?

  1. #1

    Where has the ground detail gone?

    Here's a KA1 shot, pulled off the web. This is how I remember the first game looking.



    And here's a shot from a KA2 preview, which is how the Dead Legions looks on my machine, with all settings maxed.



    The ground looks like a big blurry texture unless you put the camera right down there. Is everyone else seeing the same?

    Wow i never played KA1, but the interface seemed nicer too. Art-wise anyway.

    Haha and I thought i had a bland ground because i was playing on minimal settings, guess it's everywhere.

    And Baleur, the interface on KAII is definitely much better than the first. At least i hated having my army panel at the bottom broken in two sides. But one thing i miss are the spells displayed on top, that was handy as you quickly saw what spells you had unlocked from victory locations. Now i often just forget i have them.

    You probably know you see the VL spells on the left of the main bar now

    I didn't realize they were there for a while, and when i did i often forgot about them and didn't use them. In two whole playthroughs i only used map spells twice, and both times were on the final battle.

    The graphics, at least the 3D battles, have gone down a notch in my opinion, maybe a change in the artistic vision, I don`t know, and the position of the spells in the interface make no sense

    I saw several gameplay videos on youtube where it looked much better than your screen. Are you using DX9 ?

    Me? No - DX9 is smoother but you lose some 'depth' from the lighting. Could you link one of these better-looking gameplay videos?

    Having seen a bit more I'm not sure I was right about this. I've just been fighting a battle that had more detail than my screenshot there suggests... Have to wait for the full game to be sure
