So what you think?

Ninja Gaiden Black is for the original Xbox. :p
 
Why did you...wait, I sense a jedi mind trick here. :)

Damn Ninja Gaiden looks so awesome. Team Ninja rules.
 
considering half those are pre-rendered and the only playable game I've seen is Perfect Dark Zero, I'm gonna go with NOT
 
The first pic is a render, Unreal Tournament 2007 is a PC game and lastly Ninja Gaiden Black is for Xbox not Xbox 360.

Gears of War and the Japanese games are looking HAWT!

I know they're trying to make it look like real life, but could they at least make it like the more exciting parts? :lol


Ummm... not hot. I'm getting a PS3. I was thinking I'd have a hard time going without Nintendo completely for next gen, but then I looked at my massive collection of 4 GC games and I realized that I pretty much already did.

To think that UT07 isn't coming to 360 in one way, shape or form is foolish. I'm sure the first pic is a render but considering how great Gears of War looks, i can guess it's not out of the realm of possibility....now that second pic kinda reminds me of an american version of Shenmue, sans sailors.

Namcos game actually looks XXX in motion! Cool! NBA2K6 looks fantastic!!

Almost burning... but with some disappointments..
 
NOT
HOT

NOT... PD0 U STINK

Gaiden BLACK is pretty for an XBOX title but doesn't impress as much anymore.

Well it's listed on IGN's 360 game list...

well i dont know who to believe..but here's this...

http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=8637

As the gaming press fell over itself to be the first to post screens of the wonderful-looking 2 Days to Vegas last week, perhaps SPOnG was the only games outlet bothering to question the validity of the various next-gen claims.

And it would seem we were right to do so. You may have read on various sites that the game is well underway for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This simply is not the case right now.

In a case of catastrophic blunderings, it would seem again that not a single outlet bothered to obtain clarification from developer Steel Monkeys on the progress and platform of its eye-opening game. Except of course, SPOnG.

So, to settle the matter: 2 Days to Vegas is in development for PC right now. Not anything else. The game certainly looks better than other recent titles flagged as next-gen, thatÂ’s for sure, and SPOnG believes it's likely that the title will make the jump when the time is right.

Awww... that's cute. Are SPOnG the saviours of gaming journalism? Y'know, with the fact checking and all that carry on.
 
I'll be getting one launch day.

People misunderstand the MTV show - it's for the casuals. The type of people who own a console but probably only buy one or two games a year. One of which is FIFA / Madden and the other <THE BIG GAME OF THE MOMENT THAT THEIR FRIEND AT WORK TOLD THEM ABOUT>.

E3 will be when the chest puffing, groin-thrusting presentations of the X360 launch lineup are shown for the hardcore faithful.

360 hardware is as hot as hell. If current Xbox an push out stuff like Ninja Gaiden as well as excellent versions of current gen PC stuff like HL2 & Doom 3 - can you imagine what treats are in-store for us with the new MS hardware? Only limiation is the devs themselves. Some will rise to the challenge and give us eye-popping next-gen experiences, others will be happy to feed us the usual bucket slops (...cough...EA....cough).

Where the new consoles will really shine is with scales. Imagine Doom3 graphics in hi-res. But with dozens of imps on screen at one time. Or climbing up a hill in Halo 3 to see the ground moving....zoom in with sniper rifle and you see 2000-3000 Flood convergying on your position instead of the 15-20 you got with Halo 1 / 2.

I think X360 will struggle to run Unreal 3 engine games. The same way Xbox struggles on games like Doom and Half Life.

GoW In that MTV clip was running at like 10fps.

What like Doom 3 was when it was first shown but that was as smooth as butter on my Xbox? :rolleyes

MS have licenced U3 for their in-house games, which will probably include Halo 3 - do you not think they did some research first?

I don't think so. They've got a lot of optimizations to do, but I'm pretty confident they'll have U3 engined games running at 30 fps.

your probably right, I'm sure it'll run but, it's gonna struggle to run games that look like that.
Average 360 games that run smoothly will look more like this

I don't wanna get into this fanboy bs but earlier this year one of the IGN PS2 editors downplayed PS3 and claimed that Unreal 3.0 engine was up and running on 360 at 60 FPS.

I doubt it....i really think that PD0 Pic is based off an old version of the game...i really think the final version will look 3x better.

A lot of the Xbox 360 hate has been justified with the MTV debacle and releasing asstastic screenshots, but I'm sort of getting excited for E3. I think MS are going to surprise a lot of people with some fantastic looking games.

It just doesn't make sense that they are going to release a new console in 6 months time and we're gonna get a bunch of crap that looks like it could run on the original Xbox. Has to be more to it than that.
 
That Steel Monkeys game "2 Days to Vegas" isn't real, according to Oxygen/Element. Those images are just conceptual renders, apparently code doesn't even exist for it.

Real or not, like i said it does give us a glimpse to what could be possible for a future GTA.

From the piece linked above:

Steel Monkeys said:
Unfortunately, some of the images that are displayed on the website are our internal benchmark graphics and were not actually meant to go live, although I can say that they are a very fair representation of our current standard and what could be the minimum final quality. The title is definitely being developed for PC on our new "belief" engine, however we are also a console developer and the next generation hardware is very interesting.

Everything looks pretty nice, except for screenshots 7 and 8, they stand out like a sore thumb for some reason.
:lol :lol :lol Well screen shot 7 is PD0 Alpha ( sounds like a Capcom game ) and screen shot 8 is Ninja Gaiden Black for Xbox...just thrown in there to show how good XBOX can hold up to early next gen...kinda like when DC 2nd/3rd gen stuff helf up well to PS2's first gen stuff...
