Screens courtesty of TRC

More 360, PS2, and Xbox shots will be released tomorrow on the official site.

 

[belgurdo]

Why use flashlights when you can just flash your cleavage into the inky abyss?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

That model is pretty awful...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

looks ok. It honestly just looks like the added over the top lighting to the xbox/ps2 version though. I'll have to go back and look at some pics though (which im sure someone will provide in 5...4...3...)

 

[Tenacious-V]

Looking more and more like a brunette barbie doll.

 

[Unison]

Too many of these Xbox 360 ports simply look like PS2 screenshots captured in higher res. for a magazine ad.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

IAWTP

 

[Gek54]

Her face looks better in the lower pic. Whats going?

 

[human5892]

Those environments don't look too bad. Check out the texture work on those stone protrusions in the first pic.

Even so, if one owns an Xbox 360, these are the versions of these games to get.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

WTF.

Some of these companies really should suffer for the low quality they pump out. But we all know crap like this and THUG will go on and sell their hundreds of thousands.

*shakes head*

 

[Liquid]

lighting.

 

[Wario64]

pass

 

[Wunderchu]

the lighting?









(edit: .. I think Liquid said it first)

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Xbox screens of same game

 

[Unison]

Even so, if one owns an Xbox 360, these are the versions of these games to get.

I suppose, but you have to pay a $10 premium in order to get 'em, which makes the console's own inflated price seem that much worse.

Lara's stomach muscles are kinda gross there... Ick.

 

[Takuan]

Microsoft should refuse to OK the game unless they do a proper model of Lara that actually uses the 360's capabilities. This is just lazy of Eidos.

 

[J2 Cool]

Bloom lighting boobs are next gen.

Anyway, that's a horrible model. Legs don't even come off a person like that.

 

[Gek54]

Those environments don't look too bad. Check out the texture work on those stone protrusions in the first pic.

Oh nice, didnt see that earlier, my eyes would only fixate on her protrusions.

 

[Stinkles]

Yes, as opposed to their earlier hard work on the Lara model.

 

[KingJ2002]

needs better texture work.

lara croft needs more detail on her clothes and better muscle tone (she has her stomach out and there's no abs?)

parallax mapping would do wonders IMO.


we all know this was going to be an enhanced port... but im hoping crystal dynamics make it a good enhanced port.

i did plan on picking it up... if it were good

not many worthwhile adventure games being released.

 

[trmas]

:lol

 

[belgurdo]

Bloom lighting boobs are next gen.

Yeah...they need to fire whoever did this and the Galleon models and hire some Koreans or something post haste

 

[shpankey]

needs a lot of work imo.

 

[newsguy]

It's all a plan to keep forum members on the bi-polar.

Show PGR3: fap fap fap

Now show Tony Hawk: vomit

Show NBA 2K6: eruption

Now show Tomb Raider: tighten anus in pain

Somehow these tactics will make us buy more games.

 

[human5892]

Oh nice, didnt see that earlier, my eyes would only fixate on her protrusions.

:lol

Anyway, I do agree with everyone else about her model. That's a shame.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Some developers are going to get left behind because of their half-ass graphics.

 

[Jado]

Lara's stomach muscles are kinda gross there... Ick.

Yea, that looks nasty. Reminds me of that picture with Tara Reid's weirdly uneven and lumpy abs. Anyway, overall unimpressive looking images. Xbox version isn't too far behind.

 

[Mrbob]

Quasi gen games need not apply.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

...and so far, Visual Concepts are still kings of the console port...

 

[Flynn]

Is it me, or do the environments look like the crappy scenery in those old Dolby Digital trailers?

 

[Unison]

...and so far, Visual Concepts are still kings of the console port...

*cof* Namco *cof*

 

[KingJ2002]

*cof* Namco *cof*

Yep

Soul Calibur Arcade to Soul Calibur DC

Tekken Tag Tournament Arcade to TTT for PS2

and now Ridge Racers to Ridge Racer 6


but seriously... i wouldnt mind if they took the DOA 4 approach to lara... making her more "mascot" or "cartoony" than going for realism.

it's the environments that need work and her clothes should hang off her right.

step your game up eidos!

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Yep

Soul Calibur Arcade to Soul Calibur DC

Tekken Tag Tournament Arcade to TTT for PS2

and now Ridge Racers to Ridge Racer 6

Ah yes you're right, forgive me.

 

[Sync M]

Does she have Navi trapped in her clevage?

 

[op_ivy]

looks like the pr xbox shots with better env. textures. not gunna cut it

 

[jett]

Developers are really going to abuse parallax mapping(or whatever crap they're using here) next gen, huh.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Looks okay for your average X360 game. I expect it to be a lot better once the developers rip into the source code to exploit the 360's true light bloom.

 

[Pimpwerx]

As mentioned in that GameIndustry article, companies still need to cash in on the PS2 for this final run. Expect any ports to get some fairly shabby treatment. But hey, you're not really buying a 360 for ports, are you? PEACE.

 

[Pachinko]

I wouldn't say it looks bad but it does look more like the xbox version running on a PC with a new texture detail level turned on and the lighting set to HDR or something. They really should throw a few more poly's on everything in the game though and then run it at 60FPS. I'd expect atleast a Kameo level of detail from this game. Delay the 360 version by 6 months if you have to just make it look next gen instead of HiRes PC.

 

[FortNinety]

I remember when the new dev team said they were going to try and make Laura look more realistic, a more plausible looking human being.

 

[krypt0nian]

Visuals are sloppy, but didn't this get decent gameplay impressions from E3?

 

[Xenon]

Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!

 

[temp]

It doesn't look bad for a port.

 

[Liquid]

Developers are really going to abuse parallax mapping(or whatever crap they're using here) next gen, huh.

that doesnt even look like parallax mapping. parallax mapping doenst look flat. all those textures do.

 

[krypt0nian]

I agree...its the bloody bloom lighting that's out of control here.

 

[Razoric]

ugh, it looks like MS should copy Sony's PSP idea and invoke some kinda of 30% more content rule for all current gen -> 360 ports.

 

[Companion Cube]

The new Croft reminds me of the original Joanna Dark art.

 

[Gek54]

This is the view you will see 95% of the game. Im not complaining.

 

[Dan]

I just find it funny/pathetic that this character appears incapable of ever having her limbs hang vertically. Her arms and legs are always spread.
