wicked cinematic just like the other one however, the graphics for the actual game are cartoony and not even good if you look at the videos. Its this thing alot of star wars games go for as if its for children. Since the game is ONLY for PC then they should have really used the PCs capabilities and made it look realistic as possible and good.

Agreed. Everything about this games speaks of ambition. Full voice overs, a vast world, a truly compelling story and all that. But the graphics? They lack any form of ambition. Older MMO's like LOTRO and AoC look a lot better than this one.

They claim this is because they want the game to be enjoyable for everyone, inlcuding those with a weak PC. But that's what graphics options are for. Let's take LOTRO as an example: at very low it's about as demanding as WoW is at medium/high settings (so pretty much everyone can run it). At Ultra High, it is breathtaking, but the graphics needs are equally so (a 8800 would be the minimum for truly smooth gameplay).

It's got a year. They're not done. Don't start knocking it down till we see a more finalized product. Otherwise, the video looks great! I nerdgasm'd.

tekk236 there not going to be changing the graphics, the graphics are how they are, the only thing they will be doing is checking for bugs and finalising everything
