The technology doesn't look very hot. I think Sega is using the same engine for Virtua Fighter 5 and Sonic.

How would you describe this look? To me it looks like really bad normal mapping like in Hitman blood money. I think Sega is using it for some of their next gen games.

I'm most bummed out about the sub machine gun controller. I preferred the hand cannons used in 1 and 2, hated the shotgun for 3.
I think it's becoming clear that developers are going to need to focus on model variation when there are OMG HUNDREDS OF CHARACTERS ON SCREEN! A row of mohawked zombies with the exact same tattoos and clothes makes it look like a musical is about to occur.

I agree with you, by the way. I'd rather have fewer characters that are varied and better modelled. Many next gen games seem to use the excuse of having hundreds of models on screen at once to get away with those models being the same quality that we already have this generation.

Would it KILL these mofo's to make a 4 player lightgun game for once? I beat VC3 at D&B on Wednesday with some friends and we had to keep switching up every 2 credits while the other person worked the pedal. We kept saying how much better it would be with more players but I guess that never crosses a developers mind when making games like this.
And yes the graphics are a big "WTF?".

as has been mentioned, you can certainly see far more flaws in this game in screenshots as opposed to the game actually running with camera cuts and so forth. also, IMO, the hotd4 footage was by far the least impressive of the new stuff shown. in fact, i wasnt even really impressed by it till it showed a few scenes with TONS of zombies. the rest looks very similar to hotd3 to me

Come on guys this will be Xbox 360 not PS3 
But truely awful screens. Square fingers? G am suffering

Looks good in motion at 60-fps with various particle and multitexture effects, but these screens show a lot of roughness.

No, they would have much fewer problems running a port if the arcade system was based on X360 or PS3.I hope this is running on some kind of PowerVR board...
...cause it means the X360 and PS3 shouldn't have any problem running ports of this

I agree, I love zombie games... but is it that hard to make maybe 50 models and spread them out over the game... there are maybe, what... 10-50 people working on the game... take a picture of all the workers and put them in the game as zombies...
It is just so bad seeing the same zombie with the exact same scars and body damage... terrible...
But HOTD 2 or 3 on Dreamcast was one of my favorite experiences on a console... the white light gun worked great and it was a fun arcade (quick game) at home and it was arcade perfect...
No self-shadowing, and those zombies could at least use Doom/Quake-levels of normal-maps to make the wounds look good. Oh, and trashy lighting...again. For current hardware, it's not bad, but I think you'd find some PC games that look better. And with UE3 around the corner and looking much better than this, with massive levels...you have to wonder why they'd show shots like this. This is a game on rails. There's no excuse to show anything that doesn't at least beat everything else today. I won't blame PowerVR hardware for this mess, although if it is the hardware's fault, then it might be the beginning of the end for PowerVR. NVidia and ATI have officially eaten their lunch and asked for seconds. PEACE.
EDIT: And don't blame the game being early for these screens. Heavenly Sword is even further away from completion, and running on incomplete hw, and it has self-shadowing on just about everything within view, and better textures and other shader effects. Plus using HDR and a lighting model light years beyond what we see here.

Man, looking at this--reminded me of how kickass DMC4's bosses can look
Several obvious things.
Yes, this game wowed a lot of people. Why, because it was in motion, and not a bunch of screen caps.
Next, I don't know why the hell they just don't use pallete swap T-shirts.
With all the games Sega has made, why not re-use artwork, hair models, shirt designs etc.
To have 6 zombies on the screen that are of 2 models is just crazy.
Have one with a pink shirt, the other with a cut off orange shirt, and the the other with different blood marks on their bodies and you're good to go. But same tattoo locations?? :lol

Comparing the way the zombies look in the first shot versus the third, the lighting effects on their skin show an enormous range of contrast between differently lit settings. They look almost cel-shaded in the first screen under dim, indirect light while they take on a plastic sheen under the harsh, direct shine of the third.

nVidia and ATi have very little of PowerVR's main market, handheld graphics. If PowerVR gets a contract for Intel's integrated PC market, nVidia and ATi may have little of that market, too, by comparison.
The Heavenly Sword example doesn't work because its visuals already approximate the final target, so the game runs at a low framerate at this time since the devkits are only at partial performance currently while HOTD4 is at a solid 60-fps now.

I don't think Xbox 360 will have any problems whatsoever with a HOTD4 port - Xbox 360 might even improve things with 4X FSAA
