Thanks Blimblim and all xboxyde crew

 

[olimario]

Looking good.
And as good as it does look, next gen has a long way to go.,

 

[op_ivy]

holy sheet! rock. xbox 360 news a plenty lately, and everything is looking pretty fucking great

 

[Doom_Bringer]

that looks awesome!

 

[PhatSaqs]

Looks alright.

 

[DCX]

Wow!! Looks good, man the cars look better here than they do in some racing games :lol

DCX

 

[jimbo]

That middle picture is just goregeous. One thing I like about GR3 that really impressed me in the movies, and you can even tell in the picture, is how it's capable of showing off next-gen lighting without having to have night-time or dark environments. Games like DOOM, Condemned, Prey were begining to scare me. If I have to play in the dark just to experience next gen realistic shadows, I'll pass.

....so does humans in general what's your point?

[OG_Original Gamer]

Waiting for final devkit pics.

....so does humans in general what's your point?

DCX

My point is that a lot of games really do look like 'this gen turbo'. I haven't seen the leap I'm used to seeing and I can't wait for the next round of games whend we do.

 

[op_ivy]

please stop quoting oli

and that PiP thing in the corner is awesome. i w onder if you'll be able to control what it displays, or if it randomly cycles at different points or with certain actions (ie, ordering teammates around, etc)

I just want to know why you're so impressed by everything next gen.
This is the jump that sold me on this generation, but I haven't been impressed by any jumps but motocross ps3 and killzone ps3.

I guess I just expect too much. I'll see how the 360 is at launch.

 

[Redbeard]

Nice, but why aren't they in widescreen?

 

[Wario64]

Xbox pics? why the 4:3 screens?

 

[op_ivy]

Xbox pics? why the 4:3 screens?

xbox? :lol come on...

 

[Shogmaster]

These are the PC screens. 4:3 and all.....

I don't expect the X360 screens to be that different from this.

 

[DCX]

Well, just wait until the second wave of titles....this is great for first gen/next gen....you guys expect 3rd gen/next gen titles today.

[jimbo]

"These are the PC screens. 4:3 and all.....

I agree with ya. I think this game's also getting held back due to it also coming out for current gen systems but it still looks fantastic.

Just for refferences though.

GR on Xbox:

GR2 on Xbox:

GR3 PC/360:

DCX

No, I really don't expect that. And I was saying that I cant wait for the next round of titles in 2006. I think they will be a big improvement over what we've seen.

You won't see any jumps.

What you will see are gradual steps.

 

[Borys]

Looks better than BF2.

And that's a GOOD sign.

EDIT: PC screens? Gotta love PC gaming

 

[olimario]

You won't see any jumps.

What you will see are gradual steps.

I wasn't expecting a gradual step from XBOX to XBOX 360, though.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

So PGR3 screens don't impress you and make you think next gen is here eh Olimar?

 

[Gamedude]

I dislike the art, doesn't look impressive at all IMO

 

[sly]

I thought next-gen would be the end of polygonal tyres(and I don't mean polygonal as in 3d/graphics, I mean a shape with many sides)......I'm sooooo wrong.

 

[Shogmaster]

You are a tool. Seriously.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

too much bloom lighting.

 

[olimario]

You are a tool. Seriously.

Do any of those screens look 10x better than the best the XBOX has to offer? How much more powerful is the 360 than the XBOX?

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I wasn't expecting a gradual step from XBOX to XBOX 360, though.

This should be the last big jump, we just haven't seen it yet.

 

[Redbeard]

Why not?

It's not like the shift from N64 to Gamecube. Xbox is very capable hardware.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Comparing differences in screenshots can't be quantitatively defined. It's qualitative.

 

[op_ivy]

it looks KILLER in motion. jaws dropped at the e3 trailer, and now we see new pics and half the people are no longer impressed?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Factor 5 are the king of graphics IMO. Not even the Crimson Skies MGS Team or Namco’s Ace Combat team can match their greatness. Rouge Squadron/Leader are the best looking flight games on any system.

Blazing Angels from Ubisoft on Xbox is comparable to the Star War games.

 

[newsguy]

That blue outline on the HUD is smooth in these screens, the older ones were all jaggy. Doesn't the game take place in a poor area in Mexico, cause the Lexus in the 2nd screen has some nice rims

 

[Borys]

Why not?

This person is right.

The jump from PS2 to PS3 will be mindblowing.

No bumpmapping, no shadowing, ugly low-res textures ---> BAM! high-end PC graphics.

The jump from Xbox 1 to Xbox 2 simply cannot be that big.

There's nothing Xbox 2 can do that Xbox 1 couldn't. Every shader 3.0 operation would run on shader 1.0 model (though 10 times slower).
This will be more like jump from Riddick, Doom 3 on GeForce 3 to Riddick, Doom 3 on GeForce 6.

More fps, more polys, higher textures, all the same effects (normal maps, shadows, DOF etc.)

 

[Shogmaster]

Do any of those screens look 10x better than the best the XBOX has to offer? How much more powerful is the 360 than the XBOX?

Why are you comparing those shots with "best that XBox has to offer"? It's a launch period game. Shouldn't we be compraing it with XBox Launch period games if we want to make the conmparasin more logical?

Someone set us up with the XBox Ghost Recon 1 screenshot bomb.

 

[Screenboy]

Giant Car!!!!!

 

[jimbo]

"Someone set us up with the XBox Ghost Recon 1 screenshot bomb."

Already did. See above where I edited my post. Heck it's a huge leap over GR2, let alone GR1...and let's keep in mind...this game will STILL be coming to the Xbox, PS2...so it's not like it's built from the ground up for the 360.

Heck I'll do it it again with more pics....because it needs to be seen.

GR1 on Xbox

If people still can't see a difference now.....they never will.

 

[op_ivy]

Giant Car!!!!!

uh, hes laying down. jesus


EDIT: well , the icon shows him standing, but hes clearly laying down

 

[Dr_Cogent]

apparantly the 360 does not support Calf rendering

What the hell are you talking about?

 

[Blimblim]

I'm not the author of this news on xboxyde so I don't know where these screens come from, but I'd say these are from the PC version (the Xbox360 version would be in widescreen and has a very special filter for a more realistic war-like look).

 

[ToyMachine228]

I didn't like Ghost Recon...I really liked Ghost Recon 2's third-person...And I'm hoping they don't screw up Ghost Recon 3 now that it's actually a first-person shooter. I don't want Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon to become the same thing.

it'll still have the 3rd person cam

You should use the GR1 shots I chose. They are a better match with the GR3's urban setting.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

If Olimario doesn't think it's a huge leap, well - he's freakin blind IMO.

 

[Vandiger]

the Duder is missing his lower legs in the screen, wtf

the jokes is Dead

Idiot, he's crouching on one knee just look at the other shot.

 

[dorio]

Nevermind.

 

[Shogmaster]

Yeah, but that's why we keep in around. For the easy ownage entertainment value.

 

[olimario]

Why are we comparing it to GR1? When I was impressed by Rogue Leader's leap I was impressed with its leap over Conker, not Starfox 64.

Ghost Recon was never Ubis most impressive title... In fact, compared to SC and R6, it looked like shit. It seems this gen they are giving it better treatment.
You should be comparing this to Splinter Cell if anything.

 

[SantaC]

Gears of War is looking impressive for next gen. Not sure on these ones.
