Best looking MMO?

[Celista]

Looks only and on max settings, gameplay does not factor into this (this is a very superficial thread).

Updating my list since it keeps getting bumped.

1. Bless/EIN
2. GW2
3. Rift
4. FFXIV

Not listed since they are not yet released, but deserve mention: ESO, Wildstar

Some new beautiful looking MMOs that have come out recently:

[Aman08]

1 - The Secret World
2 - FFXIV
3 - Rift
4 - Guild Wars 2

Apparently Tera is stupid graphics but I've yet to play it.

[Fencers]

Planetside 2 or Tera.

I think Guild Wars 2 has the best world aesthetic of any current MMO.

In graphics fidelity? Tera crushes most MMOs out right now. That engine is so polished and optimized. Just astounding.

Pretty much this.

If we're extending it to games that are out in Korea, but not the NA/EU, Blade and Soul would take the cake though, with ArcheAge not too far behind. That and there are some other spectacular looking Korean MMO's in development (Kingdom Under Fire II, Black Desert, and one other I can't remember the name of >.<).

Best looking MMO for me is FF XIV, seriously cannot wait for A Realm Reborn!

Worst looking would be Guild Wars 2, very disappointing graphics :/

Guild Wars 2 crushes all other games in terms of graphics.

I think GW2 is really pretty, and planetside2 is very well done.
And while I might be the only one, I actually really enjoyed the star wars looks when I could run it on higher settings

It's not in my top 5 but yeah, Alderaan and Tattooine were well done imo.

Forgot LOTRO/Secret World/a few others in my poll >.< Sorry guys.

[Valeron]

Best I've seen would be Bless, although don't know if it counts since I don't think it's out yet.

aesthetics wise it is guild wars 2

[Flaks]

2 years from now all of the games will look dated except for one: WoW.

[Fencers]

If Blade & Soul and Bless are eligible despite having no EU/NA release than change all my answers to that.

B&S/Bless/Archage look un-fucking-real.

well wow looked dated when it came out so not sure that counts

You are right. WoW already looks dated. Voted TERA, though I agree with Fencers about GW2 aesthetics.

[Zhira]

LotRO graphics are insanely nice for a game from 2007.

/Z.

2 years from now Titan would be out which uses a newer engine than that of WoW

Bless, that was the one I forgot >.<

Yeah, Korea is kicking everyone's ass in terms of creating visually impressive MMO's.

[Fencers]

Ein looks ridiculous as well.

[Valeron]

I've never heard of that one Fencers. Interesting setting

Another asian mmo here (from Japan I think)



combat reminds me of vindictus, it looks kind of interesting to me

[Deleted]

Doesn't matter. All MMOs are terrible, so good Graphics are useless...

Please post constructively.

Fuck, totally forgot about Ein!

I feel like there are a few other games that they've shown snippets of that look spectacular (like Ein), but haven't really shown off very much on the whole.

Damnit Korea, stop making games that look so pretty. They take forever to make it over to the West ;_;
