World of Warcraft - Night Elf capital

Yes, it is - World of Warcraft. We are looking at concept art picture from Darnassuss, capital of the Night Elves. As you can see, it is very colorful. Leafs and greenery are all over the place, and they are looking very nice. Water is kinda muddy and turmoil, which looks good too. The picture is completed with all the guards and citizens walking around, chatting, enjoying their time. All in all - amazing concept art image that looks totally awesome. Enjoy it's beauty.

Mortal Online - Brontotherium

Let's take a look at concept art from Mortal Online -  one of the better mmo's out there. This pic is really amazing. Take a detailed look at this Brontotherium and the dwarf guy riding it - it is really epic. Our hero is wielding ragged flag, which looks nice too. In the background, everything we can see is white & fog. At the top-right part of the image you can see some kind of house or maybe even a part of the castle. All in all - really unique and very well made concept art picture from this great game. Enjoy it.

Guild Wars - Nature

Now you're looking at the Concept Art from Guild Wars (the best concept art pic's are from Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2). This one is a little bit old - about 3 years - but it still looks amazing. Colors are really wonderful in this one. We can see varieties of yellow, brown, orange. Stream in the 1st plan is making this picture very alive with all the rocks and even the woods in the background. Precisely, whole environment is making this piece of art really unique and impressive. Enjoy it.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Trailer scene

Let's take a look at one more marvel from Japan. There are no many pictures (screenshots) for this game - it's going to be released later this year - so I was constrained to take one of those few available. It is obvious that graphics are very, very high. Our heroine looks cool with a great armor. She's "putting out" some kinda of blade from her right hand, which probably cause those feathers to appear (at least that's my first thinking). In the background we can notice some kind of building with windows covered with curtain - which really looks unique. Anyway, globally - amazing screenshot from one more great game to come. Enjoy it!

Final Fantasy XIV - River Monster

..I would like to say nothing about this picture, and just to leave you enjoy it. But, that's not going to happen, unfortunately. I want to say only "amazing", "beautiful", "truly unique", "marvelous", any of those. It is a perfection. Water looks more then real, characters - more then that, monster also. Sky, trees. Just everything. One of the best pictures of FFXIV, so, just enjoy it.

Crysis 2 - Town Fight

Now let's check the action! Here's the image of one of the best (if not the best) games out there at the moment, Crysis 2. Graphics are amazing, that's for sure. Check our hero, check the trees and especially buildings. We can see hell of a explosion up there in the distance. Every single thing looks so realistic, and it is really a piece of game art. Also, crossfire is in the main "screen", and that looks fantastic! Anyway, in one word - great. Enjoy it and feel free to try the game.

ArcheAge Online - The Plain

Now we're gonna take a look at the screenshot of one the most promising games - ArcheAge. Unfortunately, I couldn't get this in higher res., but this will do the job too. We are looking at the plain and the river. Notice beautiful reflection caused by the sun (on the river). Our hero, standing in the grass, is looking at the horizon, at the sun, and that's made very nice, also. In the distance we can see the trees and the hills, sun, of course. It is not the most impressive picture, but I took it cause it's from a mmorpg - and it is always hard to make such a good graphics, but guys at TERA team done it more then impressive. Enjoy in the small "review" of this marvelous world.

Battlefield 3 - Staging Area

Now, let's get some action!!.. or see the part where there is no action in very popular game that has yet to come. It's Battlefield 3 - awarded for the best graphics, and, it is with reason. Take a look at that city, take a loot at that soldier, the other soldiers, vehicle, street, buildings, sky(even the wires!). Everything looks just.. perfect. Action graphics are also stunning. It would be too much to say anything else about this masterpiece. Look carefully at the every single corner of this picture and enjoy it.

TERA Online - Warrior

Now it is time for real beauty, folks. We're looking at the screenshot from one of the most anticipating mmorpg, TERA Online. The graphics are absolutely unique and great - even if it is mmorpg! Also, first thing that we are going to look at is this character, warrior (or some sort of), that carries sword. In the background, there's one huge city with many.. unique buildings, including the biggest. You can see the sky and the mountains looking very well, also. I repeat - it's mmorpg, and it is not so common for this type of games to have such a graphics, but, everything is possible, and TERA team proved us that. Enjoy the masterpiece!

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Lake Mountains

This one is special, folks. Screenshot made in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Look at the lake, it really looks brilliant! If you take a better look, you can see part (small, very) of the underwater life. We also have trees all around the place, they look fair, too. Just don't forget that TES games are known for their huge open worlds that are totally explorable, and that is very hard to make such a big world to look so beautiful. I guess that all of you noticed those mountains on the back, which look realistic.. very. Sky is pretty unique, kinda yellow or so (that up is snow area, probably that affects it). Anyway, gorgeous screenshot from the gorgeous game. Enjoy it!

Assassin's Creed Revelations - Market street

Let's take a look at one more amazing photo. This screenshot is from newest Assassin's Creed expansion. As we all know (maybe someone don't), Assassin's Creed since it's publish have great graphics. This one's it absolutely stunning. There's that market street, bunch of arabic people walking around, looking for stuff; our main character is meeting with someone, and that looks cool. Pay attention to the rays coming from the Sun all over the place. Also take pay attention to the trader that sales fish - that really looks realistic. Looking at everything - it is one more masterpiece from gaming world.

Guild Wars 2 - Castle & City






Now, take a look at the piece of art from the best team for Concept Art - from Guild Wars 2 Concept Art team. There's that amazing fortress (it's probably the city of Divinity's Reach, capital of the Human race). Believe it or not, it will look almost the same in the game when it release. We can see the nature, that beautiful green, river and the black sky, sky that symbol dark times of the human race.
Enjoy in this great image.

Jurassic Park The Game - Storm

Let's take a look at one absolutely amazing picture. This screenshot is, as you could realize by reading title, from brand new game called Jurassic Park (we're all familiar with the movie).
As you can see, there's some kind of dock. The water is stirred, because of bad weather, and that part is really nicely made. Pay attention to the thing at the left side, it's maybe boat or some kind of building that looks quite nice. In the distance is thunder, maybe too cartoony, but still decent. Also there are some palm trees around that fill the landscape.
Enjoy in the beauty of the game.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings beauty



















Here it is. On this screenshot, we can see some village from "The Witcher 2" world. First thing that probably "stubs" your eyes is the ground, terrain - and that's because it is "shiny" and greatly done (notice some rocks there, too). Next, look at the shade to the left and some bushes, and they are really, really nice. Shadows are really big part of each game, both player and object ones.
Now it's time for more interesting things. Check this guy that is recumbent on the wooden "pillar". Pay attention to his behavior. Also we can see a bunch of people in front (spot which our hero is looking at). They're obviously watching at three persons(prisoners) that will be hanged by the local "authorities", and we guess that hero will probably react..
In the distance we can notice (of course) some trees that could look better (maybe they do - but not on this screenshot). We can also see the gates and the watchtower. Interesting is that watchtower's "roof" is made of straw or something like that (or at least it looks like it), which is very nice.
In the end - we are looking into the masterpiece of graphic designers and player that took this screenshot. They provided us with the quick look at this gorgeous game.

GAC Job

Every day hundreds of PC games appear all over the world (USA especially). Each of these games have special sound effects and gameplay, special story and much more. Their graphics keep stunning us with amazing qualities and that's the spot where I will stop.
My job will be to find pictures (sometimes videos) of those very new games with gorgeous graphics and publish it to you with some explanation and my impressions.
Your "job", my dear reader (and observer), will be just to enjoy the pictures and if you are in mood - to share your thoughts about them or about someone else's opinion.
I hope that all of you will enjoy it!
