Whats your deal with Uncharted? Every time it's mentioned with Lair you seem to go pop up. :lol

Its because the only game that deserves credit for its visuals on the PS3 is Lair, nothing else should get any.

Lair, yep. Uncharted? :lol

Lair is ****ing unattractive though. Technologically proficient, you bet. But sadly very unattractive. I'm not too dazzled by these shots either, but at least the style is clean and appealing, as opposed to the cluttered tech wonder that is Lair.

Give the poor lad a break, it's not his fault that his beloved Factor 5 is making a game exclusively for a platform he hates. Must be a very conflicting time he's having.

What? :lol
Oh boy, now I see why he's so crazy.

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.

So this is probably older than what they showed on Heroes and at GDC then..

Just about every second post he made on the first page of his posting history is trolling PS3 games, particularly Uncharted, and every other one is ejaculating over Lair :D

I believe NT mentioned the stuff from Heroes and the Cinematic Production trailer came from an October/November internal SCE presentation build.

cant they all look good...I reckon uncharted will look equally as good in its own right...but since we haven't seen anything since the old trailer, lair impresses me more right now...weve seen nothing of the scope of the game...if its seamless

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

How does Lost Odyssey even relate to this? Besides, I wasn't even talking about the animation quality.

I'm just trying to say I hope there is more to the fighting than a series of sucessive throw animations, one of the reasons I enjoyed the NG combat system so much was that you could link moves and make your own combinations, I hope the game is more like that.

Don't you know GAF logic when it comes to graphics? One game looks the best, all others look like shit.

I just don't think Lair looks very good. It's technologically very impressive, but it's not easy on the eyes. It feels cluttered, and the various effects such as water ripples, fire and explosions are largely unattractive. I've already expressed my admiration for the technological achievements on display, but the overall visual package is not very appealing.

That is what its like, which is why you're going to be able to switch weapons mid combo.

fair...Im just really impressed, the detail and the scale are very impressive...this is bearing in mind that Ive never played a factor 5 game before that I can remember, and Im a really big fan of ND games

peace

the developers have said (IIRC) that there are 1000s different fighting animations alone and the mechanic is more akin to a fighting game's than any action game that's come before. I'm expecting HS' combat sys. to be pretty darn deep, which is why I don't get how many can categorize HS as a casual friendly, GoW knock-off at all.

That sounds more interesting. The reason I said what I did is because I saw the same combo in the arena showing as in the new video.

That's because technically, Lair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Uncharted.

Why would I think otherwise?

No, but putting them at the same level when there's nothing to back it up is retarted.

Jesus Els why are you trolling HS and Uncharted in BOTH this thread AND the LAIR thread?
They all look good, jesus, yes LAIR is techinically freaking incredible, but show credit where its due.

That's a pretty dumb thing to say about a game which we barely know anything about....at least technically.

Also while it's ok to say Lair is 100X better technically than Uncharted, but comparing it to Kameo was pretty retarded.

You jump to conclusions quickly

Don't be such a drama queen. I never said Uncharted or HS had crappy graphics, so stop with that bullshit. And like you say, show credit where credit it's due. Both HS and Uncharted look very good, but putting them in the same level of Lair is precisely the opposite of that.

I base my arguments on what's been shown so far. The real dumb thing is saying they're on par when you have nothing to back it up.

Did I? I remember comparing R&C to Kameo, but not Uncharted.

So you like compare games that are early in development to games that are almost finished and ready to ship? But yeah Uncharted is focusing on a 3rd person jungle scare. I don't think you will be able to fly a plane and see 20000 soldiers below. Very different scales = not comparable

Did I? I remember comparing R&C to Kameo, but not Uncharted.

oh right, my bad
 
ELS: you should honestly just make a thread where you can proclaim that Lair looks better than every other PS3 game known to man and be done with it. Leave this stupid ass discussion out of here.

Well none of the games are out yet.

Me the drama queen? Who is the one shitting a brick if anyone dare say Uncharted or Heavenly Sword looks better than LAIR? I mean shit your like Factor 5/LAIR defense force.

Isn't that what GAF is all about?:)

We'll see how it progresses, but SO FAR, it's no up to Lair's level.
Well your argument is crappy.
Says the guy who supports his with nothing but WISHFUL thinking...lol

When people makes those statements, they should back them up, and not just WHINE when someone else refutes them.

If the gameplay and the story are good - I think it will be a hot new franchise for me. I hope it can mess with God of War and Ninja Gaiden.:)
 
Not sure if these images will go through (hosted on imageShack):

Color-corrected, without glow:

Color-corrected, with glow:

Original image (no color-correction, no glow):

So even the one with just color-correction looks much better. Give us at least that. At best, stop listening to the internet and go with what you originally showed at E3, it looked great.

K thanks bye:)

And sorry but it seems I can't post images in my own posts, so you'll have to click the links:/
 
I hope they listen to the internet seeing as the reaction to the new lighting hasn't been so hot. :P But then again since these are old who now's what it looks like now. Hopefully they stick true to their vison though, but still, the new style of lighting just doesn't work well for me (yes I know the Arena environment happened early morning with the sun just coming up and that it's not always going to be that time of day in Heavenly Sword).

Yes please go back to the old lighting. Or hire Ether_Snake even his pics look better.
 
I think this is the kind of game that actually needs that exaggerated bloom. It fits the setting and makes it seem more fantasy-like.
 
You can adjust color saturation in Photoshop and you can adjust it on your tv *shakes head*. Game looks great. Interesting about the AF in certain shots. Some shots have it and others don't. Selective AF is apparent in the pics, but will hopefully blend well in motion. I believe the dynamic camera will help there. PEACE.
 
Heh, keyword meta tags are always funny:

Wait, what?!!? Is that a hint for the game's soundtrack? If so then colour me interested.
