First King Kong 360 shots

Amazing stuff for an upgraded port...they certainly put the effort into this one.

And since the movie is my most anticipated flic of '05, I have to say I'm pleased as all hell.

Looks nice. I almost wish this wasn't based on a movie, and was just an original jungle/dinosaur adventure.

It basically is, isn't it? I'd read that they were confined to the world Peter JAckson created for the movie, but not limited to the storyline in the movie itself. They have a lot of freedom to play around, I believe.
 
I'll give Ubisoft props for actually going the extra mile and not just port a hi-res version. :P I think the game looks pretty nice on all consoles. Are there any vids of this game, btw?
 
This looks great. I'm really looking forward to this movie and the game.

As far as current gen games getting ported to Xbox 360, I don't know if I like it. I didn't like when that happened with Dreamcast and PS2. While these in-between games usually looked good compared to current gen games, they always looked bad when compared to next-gen games. I think if too many current-gen games get ported it can really drag down the perception of a next-gen system.

That's bizarre in the case of games that aren't designed with a keyboard/mouse in mind.

If a game makes extensive use of a gamepad, the PC version likely isn't going to play well. Remember the MGS2 port? THAT was an absolute mess as the controls were essentially ruined on the PC...

I am assuming this is an FPS, any FPS that is ported to PC thats the version I wait for. This only case where I don't get the PC version without any impressions are the ones that were designed exclusively for a console with the exception of GTA which I use both sets of controls, no idea about Kong other than its an FPS, if it has weird control implementations I'll put up with it :P

Some of it is FPS and some is 3rd person Prince of Persia-esque stuff.

hmm PC with dual-shock adapter FTW :)

360 version would likely still beat it out in the end...

Console games on the PC very rarely ever feel truly right (even when using an adaptor).
 
The lighting, shaders, and atmospheric effects are considerably better in the Xbox360 shots. Compare the two rain shots; it's like night and day. I imagine that the differences would be even more noticeable in motion.
 
Cant really judge it on a few screens but It appears that it looks better then the other versions.

The game was already on my must buy list so why not get it for the Xbox 360 instead of the Xbox version? Almost same price and it has better graphics.

I don't know... maybe for... you know, that 400$ thing you need to buy in order to play it.

Yea...

But don't forget that there is plenty of people who don't care and rather opinionate themselves in a glance at a screenshots then by trying to imagine something in motion. Its like 'all eggs look the same' to some, well not so if your an egg specialist... :)
 
I think it is a nice improvement over the current gen versions and I'll probably wait and get this one. I can't wait to see it in motion. Will the Xbox 360 version be shown at X05 at all?

This looks fantastic. Xbox 360 version will be the one to get. :D Take notes, Activision.

You know, I thought of GUN too. I'd kill for a 360 bump in GUN that KK has.

I am a nutjob for Westerns.

I believe it was just shown at the Gamestop convention so you should be able to count on it making X05.
