I wish this damn game would make up its mind if I should be excited for it or not.

WTF... Did Joanna timewarp to old time Persia or something? What happened futuristic neon HK-style world, this looks like Aladdin.

I for one fully expect to game to bowl us over when it does launch. For the time being, however, I'm just going to enjoy watching PD0's visuals improve and see just how much Rare can do with the time that they have.

I think the player in the shot is using the hide-behind-cover-MGS/Winback/SC move to peek around the corner.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Hmm, for once I'm actually liking what I see. Not bad, not bad at all.

Single player will look better.
I told you not to doubt RARE, Wellie!!!
I really don't get where this "that's multiplayer, single player will look better!" business is coming from. I can't recall any game that looked substantially different between the two. Everyone thought Halo 2 would, which is where I'm guessing all this started, but it really didn't.
Actually now that I think about it, the Splinter Cell games do. But I think those are a special case due to the tightly controlled nature of their single player campaigns. I can't think of a single other game that is signifigantly different graphically.

That was a fantastic level in PD and yeah, the tan buildings here, which seem to be from some sort of Middle-Eastern area, look similar to the tan Spanish-style buildings in that level. Looks nice.
I think that this game, like all of Rare's console titles, will look fantastic...even above just about everthing else when it releases. If anything, Rare is one of the most consistently impressive developers when it comes to visuals. Can't wait to see the single player game, where it'll likely be even better looking because it'll be focused on set pieces and impressive goal-oriented and more exploration-heavy level layouts..allowing for more interesting shit. Mutiplayer has to be more functional and less showy for the ease of use factor, IMO. At least, that's how virtually every FPS works.

Looks better and better. And this is still unoptimized.
Well, I can think of some other games, but I don't want to get in a pissing match. 
I really don't care about graphics too much, but I do want a game to look next gen if it is on a next gen console. These pics don't scream next gen to me yet, but things look like they are getting better. More importantly than the graphics, I hope online co-op makes it into the game. That'll make me really happy.

I think so. Time will tell, but I still believe that Nintendo will come to regret giving them up...even though they'd never admit it. I just read a fansite interview with some of the Rare guys talking about their proprietary middleware for X360...making their own development for the platform much more efficient and speedy. Things like that make me think they'll deliver more than ten titles on the platform, easily. As they have shown with the N64, they can pump those bitches out when they got a platform wired.

Morbidaza: Burnout 3 looks SUBSTANTIALLY better in single-player than multi-player.

Or does it?
Those look so much better than PDZ it's not even funny. Rare better lock the game at 60 fps if it's going to look like that.
The player models aren't that great for enemies in Chaos Theory, but the enviroments look phenomenal. Those aren't renders, either. I've been playing the game on my XBox and the enviroment looks that damn good. Who would have known how much bump mapping would make enviroments look much more detailed.

And make it online please.
The detail on those enviroments are not that impressive. Just because it doesn't look like the crap they showed earlier (mainly because it is a digi-cam shot which hides imperfections) doesn't mean it looks good for a next gen game. They still have a lonnnng way to go to even get near GOW.

Nevermind, I give up. Glory to the blind and retarded, and such.

Not impressive. These could have been passed off as XBOX screenshots and we would have been none the wiser.

I think that's basically all it is, the Xbox version with a few extra effects. Microsoft doesn't seem to cope well with the fact that Rare is slow as hell.
Probably showed it too early, then yanked it on poor reception, thus why we're getting blurry, leaked looking screenshots rather than shiny looking trailers or competent captures..
I personally don't think this'll surface until sometime late in 2006 at least, but I'd like to be wrong.

Well, that'd be nice, if Rare still has the talent capable of pulling off a game on par with their better N64 efforts that is. Between the license changes, rush work and platform swapping for them this generation it's anyones guess.
I don't think MS will be rushing this out however, no matter the case. The opinion of current day Rare is already pretty poor, and having them rush, then botch their flagship original franchise wouldn't bode well for the mindset of people on the subject.
Either way, poor MS has to do SOMETHING with Rare. I mean, fuck, so far they've pretty much just spent 370,000,000 dollars on Grabbed by the Ghoulies.
Nintendo does things that consistently boggle people, but at the same time they always remain extremely profitable, even moreso than most big names. With that in mind I just doubt that they gave up a studio that consistently cranked out sales chart toppers like Rare did last gen. I don't think, especially at this rate, they'll ever regret giving them up, they obviously saw something falling apart and acted on it.
