Also of interest to modders is this <a href="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/jonaac/mesaverde_ ... illage.jpg" target="_self">screenshot</a>, posted by Briosafreak, of the Van Buren World Editor. It showcases the location Mesa Verde.
The more I see in game screen shots of Van Buren,
the more I think the graphics really aren't that great.
Especially the character models. Granted, I guess the graphics
weren't exactly finished, but it still doesn't look all that
good. Let's hope <a target="_self" href="http://www.bethsoft.com">Bethesda</a> can at least one up them.

More and more info about a dead game. Hooray

There's no other news to post. Plus...that one shot might be good for modders.

Eww, it looks like total shit? Take a look at the model in the character creation screen

I've always said the graphics in VB sucked, but that's even worse than what we've already seen.

I'd take the good ol' 2D we had in FO1 and 2 or FOT's graphics over this any time.

It's not even a beta, you shits. You should be lucky they didn't have placeholder models of elves and orcs in there.

Give it to me.

The interface is atrocious.

From what I've read/heard, a lot of this stuff used placeholder graphics/designs to just DEMOnstrate the overall feel of the game.

SHeesh. Picky bastards.

Why the new shit-tastic new interface? The old one worked perfectly. Sheesh.

It had to be more x-treme for the new millenium.

ApTyp · Post by **ApTyp** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 1:48 am

Is a fucking demo. Look, they just reused Tactics' interface. They didn't have the time to put the work in, alright? I'm sure they would've come up with a better one if the game were given a green light.

It looks quite dark and gloomy, or the settings on this screen are just fucked up. Not very informative screenshots, but does that even matter?

Mr. Teatime · Post by **Mr. Teatime** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 11:42 am

Yeah, it's a tech demo. The graphics aren't impressive but... it's a tech demo. Not much more to say really.

Bridgeburner · Post by **Bridgeburner** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 12:05 pm

troika's tech demo looked a whole lot better than this

ApTyp · Post by **ApTyp** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 12:13 pm

Yeah, well, Troika had better artists...

Pope Viper · Post by **Pope Viper** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 1:42 pm

And troika was trying to also get licensing sales for their engine.

If you're trying to get other development studios to buy into your engine, I would imagine you would provide additional focus on the graphics.

S4ur0n27 · Post by **S4ur0n27** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 2:41 pm

Yeah, and the VB team sucked shits, why bother?

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 6:13 pm

Wasn't it supposed to be released ages ago anyway?

Doesn't look all that shabby to me, looks kinda like Dungeon Siege 2, which is only shabby looking considering that it's a brand new game...

I wouldn't mind now, to get a good Fo game which looked kinda like that.

CrazyNick · Post by **CrazyNick** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 6:46 pm

Bah I don't care what you guys think. After the sacrilage that was tatics those screenshots look sexy. Plus Dungeon Siege 2 is kinda overrated. Graphics are kinda half-assed on that game. Beat it in a week. WITHOUT CHEATS!

The problem is that the 2D engine was better.
