These last batch of screens look really bad imo, texture filtering and polygon count have really dropped.. The textures aren't impressive at all, no reflections on any water anywhere, obvious lack of any bumpmapping.. I could even say it looks worse than Tomb Raider: Legend on the 360. I never understood what people were jizzing themselves over anyway.

 

[gogogow]

Yeah, the E3 demo had some crazy lighting and overdone bloom, but imo that's what's needed in this kind of fantasy setting game.

I think it's just that different locations have different lighting, but I wouldn't mind if every level had that kind of crazy overdone bloom lighting.

It seems that the outdoor environments also miss the normalmaps/parallaxmaps from the E3 demo.

It's like the first few pages all over again. I guess you didn't see how that turned out.

 

[pswii60]

Not even slgihtly impressed with the screens, mainly due to the extremely poor quality of the textures? The art direction is great IMO, but technically it looks like a shambles. They should be using texture streaming, why the hell not.

Lair and Uncharted look a generation ahead of this IMO.

My apologies, I forget not liking some games and being vocal about it is a mortal sin sometimes.

What do you mean? The screenshots posted by orobi look OK. Not fantastic or great even IMO IMO IMO. Geez, some of you are a bit touchy.

 

[SolidSnakex]

There's a difference between not liking something and hten just making some off the wall comparison, that's what got people in trouble earlier in this thread and the same went for the Lair thread.

 

[nelsonroyale]

to be fair, when people pointed out the state of the mediocrity of the graphics of halo 3 people jumped over that..aint no free pass I suppose

peace

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw these pics :lol well maybe not worse.. more like the same..

whatever, I'll wait till I can play it.

To be fair, the 360 port of Tomb Raider was pretty damn good looking for a port. The water effects in the stream at the beginning were some of the best I've seen this gen.

But come on guys, HS will look tons better than TR in motion and also has a much, much larger scope with huge battles etc.

I believe it's things like this:

etc.

Can't wait to hear more from you about why this, in fact, was not impressive looking footage.

but yea these screens are bad

Yeah that E3 06 vid still makes me drool with its slick animation. But it'll be interesting to see how that arena fits in with this waterfall area we've seen. Just want to see how it all fits together.

Also, do we know how long the game will be?

I know, this kind of stuff has been happening quite a bit lately. First we have the Halo 3 situation (which looks even worse), Too Human, Mass Effect and now this. :\

Ah well, I'm sure they'll all turn out great in the end.

Every thread, I swear.

Cribbed from The Onion, but yeah.

 

[fortified_concept]

You see? That's the problem with being honest in this forum. If you're a Sony fan and express your opinion about eg the latest screens some
deranged xbox fanboy like tahrikmili might exploit that and start making Tomb Raider comparisons since he thinks it's A-OK to troll now because
a couple Sony fans said they didn't like the new screenshots. I personally love the new screenshots btw, especially the one with the trees.



And fyi this is Tomb Raider Legends for X360:

(and I didn't even try to find the terrible ones like *some* people do in here I just posted the ones with nature)


Oh man I'm getting sick of this forum again. I think it might be time to take a break... again.

 

[Ryuuga]

You see? That's the problem with being honest in this forum.....

*yawn*

These screens don't happen to be that great. The comparison is awful but it's not that far from being applicable. (based on the screens posted) Personally, I could care either way. Everything look better in motion but some things just aren't worth getting worked up for. These screens among many.

 

[mckmas8808]

That looks good as shit. I sorta underestimated these screens earlier.

 

[Blimblim]

Since the old topic is well... old and lots of people might not have seen the new batch of images released today, here they are again with a slightly less intrusive watermark.

Also some artworks, mostly old but VERY high res:

[MCD]

Why is the last image so blurry?

 

[Chiggs]

I'm not convinced this game will be a hit, but it'll be a shame if it's not.

 

[Tiduz]

HOLY FCUK! i want this game SO BAD. ohmygod. :lol
thx for the notice blimblim

 

[SolidSnakex]

Unles its just a terrible game it should do well, its been one of the most hyped PS3 titles since it was first shown.

 

[Max@GC]

Why is the last image so blurry?

seems to be some upscaled crap...nvm...the game reminds me of a touched up god of war II...which is good.

 

[Tiduz]

its a good thing the sword is before her a$$ when its not used, or else it would be too distracting :lol

 

[Doom_Bringer]

What the hell are those black blotches in the bottom?

And too bad the actual game looks nothing like the lush green artwork.

 

[Draft]

Appears to be rocking some varicose veins in that first screen. First porn, now game characters. The HD era ruins everything.

 

[pswii60]

Well if HS looked like that concept art, we'd be getting it confused with Uncharted

 

[MickeyKnox]

Too bad that is a completely different area of the game...

 

[pCeSlAyEr]

the pics look like they were photoshopped using a filter which kinda reminds me of enabling AdvanceMame2x or similar on a emulator...

 

[FFChris]

I can see why this is being hyped, the visuals are great, art looks nice and the draw distances on the landscapes are fantastic. But has no one brought up the canned-animation fighting system yet?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

elaborate plz

 

[antiloop]

I bet it's something that doesn't look good in stills.

If these latest screens moves as good as they look (or better) I will be in heaven.

 

[Mononofu]

It has been discussed and as long as the fighting system is fun I have no problem with it.

It has far better animations than the game you have as your avatar. At least from what we have seen in videos.

antiloop no you just didn't, even though its true. :lol

 

[Lain]

There's some stuff to fix, but those latest images make me repeat myself: I want this game now!
Keep up the good work NT and thanks Blimblim!

 

[bouc_emissaire]

More light, more contrast :

 

[nelsonroyale]

hehe, your ones look better

peace

 

[Jim]

They look like analog captures as opposed to buffer dumps, for whatever reason. And also, the screens were tagged with a Feb 27th date by Sony.

 

[Forsete]

I like your tweaks bouc_emissaire.. Very impressive looking game.

Now, lets hope for a rock fudging solid fps.

 

[nelsonroyale]

the pic where sh is standing in the open beside the tree looks really nice

 

[mckmas8808]

It's 30 fps

And Bouc you rock again. Sony needs to hire you as their full-time screenshot guy. :lol



You made this pic look 300% better.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I wonder if they have a wind system in the engine. Like when shes just standing still wind will come and go blowing her hair back and at different directions.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Those new screenshots look really good. This game has been a roller-coaster of impressions. You keep hearing Sony is sending people to Ninja Theory to make the game not suck, but then you see new screens and wonder how the game could suck! Very wild.

 

[ELS-01X]

Lair and Uncharted look a generation ahead of this IMO.

Lair, yep. Uncharted? :lol

 

[karasu]

The lighting in the close up is just fine as is.

Trolling Uncharted's visuals is just illogical.

Old build confirmed!
