I'm actually a bit surprised by some of these screenshots. I like the art style and know the game looks nice, but I didn't realize it looked that good. Some of those shots are very impressive.
I do believe someone stated somewhere that they are implementing a system that lets them improve upon the graphics as gaming systems improve. Not sure where it was stated.It really reminds me of how WoW started. When it was first released it was touted as a nice looking gaming, but the graphics were cartoony. I feel Wildstar will get the same reaction from players. Sure it looks cartoony but the graphics are going to be great. I just hope Wildstar will be able to age better than WoW did graphics wise.
