One of the draw cards which is being flaunted for Guild Wars 2 is that it\u2019s a very pretty game, both in terms of art and world design, as well as the engine\u2019s pure rendering finesse.<\/p>\n
Our media invites for the closed beta obviously got lost in the electronic ether, but luckily PC Gamer has posted a bunch of interesting insights about the game, most recently taking a close look at its various graphics settings and how the performance scales between them.<\/p>\n
One thing we noticed immediately in the video demonstration is that it is possible to adjust the game’s graphics settings on the fly, no restart or even loading screen required. Throughout the demo PC gamer was able to switch between graphics settings without even stopping the game. This is a feature which should make it a lot easier for gamers to tweak the game settings to perfectly accommodate their PC\u2019s performance potential.<\/p>\n
In its beta form, the game has pre-set options, including \u201cbest performance\u201d, \u201cbalance\u201d, and \u201cbest appearance\u201d. These options are obviously in place for gamers who simply want to get on with the game and not spend too much time tweaking the settings.<\/p>\n
