Looks beautiFUL, it seems as though Kameo has been further along in development then PD0. Kind of reminds me of Shrek, and I like the Shrek movies.
I think this looks pretty great in stills... maybe Rare will pull through with something great.
But... I was terribly disappointed in the video of the orc battle. The horse just ran straight through them, and the orcs flew into the air even though it was blatantly clear that there was never any contact. If this is the next generation, I don't think it's too little to ask for some fucking interaction between characters. If a horse is supposed to be running down enemies, the enemies should actually be physically struck by the horse not propelled into the air by an invisible forcefield surrounding it.
Pure graphics don't mean shit to me if the illusion is ruined by weak physics and other engine features. The same thing happened with Star Fox Adventures. It looked pretty gorgeous, but it played like a N64 game with shoddy interaction between characters and the environment.

Shush now, this is a Kameo thread, not a Conker's Other Bad Day thread. Let's all continue circle jerking to Rare's upcoming epic action/adventure game and leave talk of Conker sequels for another day.
Edit: Now I'm off for the afternoon, so you'll just have to speculate about Kameo anyways. Cheers!

The video seemed to represent an extremely early form of the game because everything moved so terribly in it, but these screens seem to be from a more recent version of the game (I think that the orcs are wearing different armor, not sure about that).
Looks great and the morphing mechanics could be really cool. I can't wait to see how the gameplay is.

Anything less than this would be a bit tragic. Going by Rare's last few games I would wait for positive reviews before saying you are definitley getting it. (unless you just want graphics & not bothered about the gameplay)
Saying that I hope it turns out great and gets Rare back on track. They have no excuses now they can fully concentrate on X360.

Looks pretty good, but I think those of you that think you'll be getting 2 Rare games at launch are dreaming.

Now these shots a truly impressive! Rare has clearly not lost its touch in the visuals department. I get the feeling MS will be getting my money on launch day.

Looks stunning. It's these sort of games the Xbox lacked, i'm glad they're doing something about it.

MS has already sold me on that awesome hardware. They just need the games at launch and my $$$ am theirs. I just hope PD0 can be salvaged and made into the killer X460 launch title that I want it to be,

Looks a bit pants to me. Ho-hum.
Surprised no-one is talking about this shot. About 60 percent of the Kameo bitching was that Rare changed the way Kameo is seen when morphing into creatures. Looks like they've gone back to the Gamecube design of morphing.
And these shots are superb, just think that Rare will be improving the graphics for another 5 months! All that untapped power Rare have to exploit (now that they should have final dev kits)
Rare will be owning haters next gen. It begins!!
Please tell me others see what I was complaining about above. The horse isn't even remotely close to touching the orcs that are flying back. I don't care how many characters can be fit onto a screen if none of them interact well with each other.

yeah that collision detection looks pretty cheesy but not bad enough to make me not want this beautiful beautiful game
Oh, I know it's entirely possible that it'll be fixed, and I hope it is, but I just want to point out that I'd think that would be unacceptable for a next-gen product. Hopefully it won't be seen when this comes out during the holidays. I'm just not terribly impressed by that scenario as others on this board, but I guess that's attributable to different priorites. Now, for some of the other screens and video I've seen, I am indeed impressed.Amir0x said:I am not complaining about collision detection because it is way, way too early to judge how it'll be in the final build

You're also missing the portion where the Orc in the bottom left side passes through the Orc on the floor.
Now, these still shots look pretty decent, but when I saw the trailer I was pretty unimpressed. Perhaps it was the low quality, or the crappy animation, but it didn't seem too impressive. I need better media
Hah, so I did. :lol Now I'm even less impressed.3pheMeraLmiX said:You're also missing the portion where the Orc in the bottom left side passes through the Orc on the floor.
Oh well. X360 is still looking more interesting than I had expected, so that's a plus.
I wonder how this is going to look on Xbox720.
Nah I'm kiddin that looks great. Could somebody post comparison pix of the latest build of the Xbox version? The biggest leap seems to be number of enemies on screen at once which is one of the things I was praying for about the new generation of games to concentrate on number of characters on screen instead of just graphics. I hope the First Person Shooter benefits the most from this new power.

A few days I could care less about another WWII game but now I want at least one more truly fun and original one that takes advantage of the hardware. I would love to see a well orchestrated firefight with this many AI units on screen.
