Facebook Image of the Week 4.13.11

This week's Facebook Image of the Week is a new screenshot of Alderaan.

High among towering mountain peaks on Alderaan, this settlement shows no obvious signs of the growing political unrest that plagues the planet.

For ease of reference, we compiled a Facebook Image of the Week Media Gallery containing all the images which you can view below.

    Looks good, but I would love to see some pictures with players in them. Helps give you a sense of size/scale. But, otherwise, I really like the direction they went with graphics. Here is hoping this old beast of a computer will be able to play this game when it comes out.

    I'm not sure what to think about the tree models.
    But other than that it looks gorgeous.

    The trees look nice. You can notice the detail by how they all look different from each other. Each one is as special as a snowflake.

    The thing I do not like, is how the boulders look. However, finding the right look between stylized realism vs realism, I have no suggestions. I can only say it needs to look better. Just an opinion from someone who likes the stylized realism in characters, and also likes the background.

    Hmm, I think they are the same model just rotated.
    But I've seen worse, I'm going to have look to see if I can find a better screen for a closer look.

    I actually find that the boulders/rock formations look pretty good.
    It's random, shaped and nonlinear. I'd say that it's probably not the best texture work yet though.
    If you where able to get closer, ingame, I'm sure they would look better.
    I mean, the mountains in the background look great in my opinion.
    And I love the fact that they have melded dead grass into the snow in places.
    You don't see that a lot in games, usually it's just plain snow.

    Can't wait for that art book.

    Yea, the mountains look great. I am also looking forward to all things pertaining to swtor. I still have yet had the pleasure of listening to the audio books related to the swtor franchise. Apparently the audio books have sound effects as well, which sounds awesome.

    Also in the pic with the ice being cut off with spring grass and trees, you can see the trees look different.

    However, you could be correct that some tress are the same look and it could be the angle as well. Just in the above link you can see the trees look different.

    I'd like to see what does Alderaan look like in the latest build. Hutta has changed a lot since that early bounty hunter video.

    Looks so much more beautiful than these "fantasy" worlds we're so familiar with in MMOs. I can't wait! I've always been much more of a Sci-Fi type of guy than fantasy... :)
