Per the <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/dungeonsiege2.aspx">official Dungeon Siege 2 site</a>, the release of the game is no longer <b>holidays 2004</b>, but now <b>Spring 2005</b>.
<br>
<br>
So, three months more wait to see how the interactivity has improved. So far, the changes don't sound that bad, but I'm still waiting on a demo.

Hopefully the graphics will have improved for DX9 and Pixelshader 2.0 effects. It'd be pretty pathetic if it didn't have those features.

The only hope for Dungeon Siege 2 is in the graphics. It hasn't got anything else...

I'd rather they stick with the same engine and add gameplay this time around.

Isn't that what they're doing - sort of? They're updating the graphics but otherwise overhauling stuff they already had. At least from what I gathered.

Lies. I tell you. Just Lies.

(I'll wait for the demo before passing final judgement)

It'd be nice if the graphics weren't god damn edgy (and I mean this in polygonal terms) though. Just a simple implementation of that nice blur post processing effect from Prince of Persia SOT would do it.

Have you tried forcing AA/AF from your video card to smooth the edges/images?

I would try it on the demo, but installing DS again will just make me feel dirty.
