Is this game uglier than RTW?

If you have a sufficient powerfull pc the game looks better.

What a surprise!

But if you haven't, nowadays games look often worser than their predecessors.
(Just a warning to the 'low-enders'.

It is way better.
I have it on medium settings and it is so pretty

Well my specs are...

AMD64 3500+
2 No 6800 GT 256 MB in SLI
1024DDR
Wide screen 24”....

middle of the road I suppose these days but should this set up be unreasonable for playing a game. Where will it all end?

I find the M2TW 2D sprites to be just as ugly as in RTW. Some of the units like the longbowmen have 2D sprites of very different colour (in this case light grey'ish) than the 3D graphics.

I don't have any complains regarding graphics. Afterall I won't be observing my units during the match.

Where will it all end?

In a smoking heap after every gamer's 200 megawatt power supply explodes in the year 2085.

More to the point, there are sprite lighting issues with some of the units, but I expect this is a beta issue that will be for the most part resolved in final. To claim that this makes the game ugly is rather a stretch though. I couldn't be more impressed visually.

graphics aren't as important as is gameplay/performance. I find the demo very hard to enjoy myself. that's said after I've ran it on 3 different systems. one bein' low end, mid range and high end P4s. in a nutshell, only high end system was able to run game on high enough settings to enjoy better graphics and still have a decent performance. the processor speed didn't seem to make any difference. it was bascially down to the video card!
interestenly enough, the low end system did have a much better performance than that of the mid range one. but both were only able to run game on the LOWEST of lowest in order to get a good performance and ya can see what the game looks like on all LOW from my screenshots posted in the apropriate post.
anyhow, I'm gonna post more details on the tests in another thread. good luck with this game if ya don't own a high end/state-of-the-art system :)
