    So just to be sure, we will be able to continue using the old client even after this new engine is rolled out and if so will we be able to enjoy possible new content?

    Also maybe think about having an AO classic server once re-balance changes go live so we can still enjoy the same game we enjoy today.

    I guess to quantify my first statement the reason I play AO and not something more shiney and modern, I always feel so cramped or boxed in with the visuals and layout. I get that same feeling from the screens that were posted. I love the open feeling that AO has had for it's many years.

    Yeah that's the one thing AO could really use, dividing of the population between more servers. How many years must we beg for some breathing room!

    In the case of you going for the cellshaded look of that swamp shot i couldn't be more happy because that is exactly like the game art you got everywhere that looks so muck better then the actuall, current, game!

    very very nice screens. I'm amazed just how much the lighting has an effect on the game, the screen with the new terminals looked the most amazing IMO, not only did it show off the new terminals and lighting, it showed just how much the engine improves some of the older textures and models without even having to replace them.

    I know exactly how that feels, but .. AO will still be the same environment, it'll just have these way nicer graphics.

    Really great to see progress new areas, and some of the newer, more advanced locations too looking great btw!

    Seeing these tribal houses in the jungle made me think about it ...

    In AO i always felt a lot of stuff were not scaling well ; toons looks like giant close to most door / house. Aditionnally the geometry/proportions always seemed a bit funky to me, even if i did get used to it and that getting a "wide screen" didn't arrange anything. But i always felt like the whole game was stretched (vertically). Any plan to arrange that ? Stretch everything the other way around ?

    Also, what about field of view etc ; i hate what they do in game like CoD MW2/3 & co, it's very narrow. But some other game get a very realistic and immersive field of view / general geometry / scale (i believe it's linked), like Mass Effect or Mirror's Edge, for instance ...

    AO looks both stretched and sadly flat at the moment :/

    I almost lost my faith in the new engine but these screens brought it right back! Looking good!

    new engine > naked women

    can't wait for it to hit live... tho TF2 runs @9 FPS on this laptop under DX9 mode D:
    hopefully by the time it goes live, I'll have a new desktop built from newegg.

    With the new lighting I think Borealis needs a catwalk to sport new thongs with Trox's under such conditions.

    Isn't that the purpose of the buildings and wall near the Bor grid already?
