I'm absolutely in love with the concept of Black and White; I just wish Lionhead could have pulled off B&W1 with less micromanagement. The villagers should be smart enough to harvest their own grain, for Christ's sake!
 
what is the idea behind this game? and what is it due out on.

the 1st pic has a lot of duplicate jeasus's walking around worshiping a gold cow. lol

So is this for the PC, or has Lionhead completely abandoned it?

PC. The Movies and Dimitri from Lionhead are also for PC. There were plans for console B&Ws, but everything got cancelled. It was supposed to be more of an action adventure than strategy.

Black and White : The return of the "deodorant-test" guys whose heads are as small as surrounding flowers.

More seriously, I hope it won't fail into a fascination / boredom scheme like its predecessor.
"Man, this game is quite entertaining." (fascination)
"Man, my creature is eating ist own poo." (fascination)
"Man, why do my creature keep on jumping on villagers ?" (boredom)
"Oh well, let's cast this rain spell just in front of my creature another hundred times and she will probably be at 23% in ist learning process" (boredom)
"*slapping his creature virulently* Why did you attack our ally, you pompous thing ?" (boredom)

Well, at least, the game was "fun" till the second world...

This is one badass chimp. And it is also a good demonstration of how to use normal mapping and fur shading correctly.

and you can tell from that screenshot? MAGIC EYES!


the fur could be a) cards and I don't see normal mapping

This looks like normal mapping and fur shading to me (with cardboards). Even if it is not some little respect could be useful too, I don't think we need more ironic bitches hanging around here.
 
That chimp is a hoot ! :lol

It looks seriously very detailed though, cant be possible on current hardware ?

isnt it supposed to come out on all the consoles ? (xbox, ps2, gc)

PC only. As I said above there were plans to bring a console-specific B&W at the start of this gen (even to PSone), but it was cancelled.
 
are u sure ? on lionhead website there is always link to "BW Next Gen" (Ps2 and Xbox Next gen) ... it's possible that is the reason of the game delay :)
 
Too bad the game won't look like that when it comes out. No matter though-- Fable marked the last Peter Molyneux game I will ever play.

Balanced combination of bloom effect and lens blur is a really great way to mask graphic inadequacies in games where the nature of the scenario may mean a lot of not-so-tight edges and such (like the plants and such). I'm glad developers are using them for this purpose (though I make no comment about the possibility of B&W2 actually looking like this once it launches; that said, HL2 is on about an equal level, technologically speaking, it would seem).
