wario- y dont u ruin all the fun??

 

[dark10x]

Pretty bad looking, but they look more like caps from a field rendered PS2 title than a standard PSX game.

 

[Tenguman]

Hrm, no jaggies in the official shots. jaggies in the non-official shots.

 

[Wario64]

Come on, we don't to do this thread again.

Welcome to weeks ago

Thank you for rescuing me, but your troll is in another thread

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Those screens are pretty bad...and their old...and it looks better than any handheld MGS game I've ever seen...so why complain? And I don't care about the card based gameplay. If I can want Baten Kaitos, I can like this.

It might not look better than MGS2, but it sure has my interest more than The Twin Snakes...and it looks better to boot.

there was a thread about this before? i remember one, in paticular, where solidsnakex said acid was the second coming of metal gear solid 2.

It's Team Kojima minus Kojima as the director. It looks as good as MGS2, it just doens't have any color tint which is one thing they should add to it.

:lol :lol :lol

damn, my memory must suck.

MGS card game,wtf are they thinking...

True...Some people should start their PSX again just to see what we were playing 6 years ago.

LMAO,I hope that was a joke.There is no way you could think that looks better than TTS.

I have seen these exact same screens couple of weeks ago, except that they were regular framebuffer caps, and looking much better. This looks like someone took those original images, scaled them down in photoshop to 50% and then enlarged them back to their original size.

*edit*

An example of original screen, in the original PSP resolution. Most of the pictures from that link don't work anymore, but these seem to be there still:

The ones that Wario links to look identical.

---also, you bring up pictures that don't even relate to the thread.

If by that you mean "they don't look like shit", then I agree. They are all from MGS:A, however.

*edit* as opposed to your Crash 3 picture?

 

[Matlock]

"I saw these pictures a week ago, and it looks like someone resized, etc etc."

After you say that, you post up pictures that don't even relate to what you're talking about, in fact, it looks like you posted a pre-rendered sequence.

Good try though, chum.

Matlock, I honestly don't know what to tell you. Are you really that blind to think that pictures I posted are not:

a) realtime
b) from MGS:A
c) direct frame buffers

?

 

[Arcticfox]

It does look like the pictures from Game Informer were resized.

 

[Agent Dormer]

I think Kojima stated in an interview that the team working on this title was younger and hipper - and also not as good. :|

 

[neptunes]

we've been over this already

numerous times

 

[Lord Error]

It's pretty obvious...

 

[Wario64]

Obviously there is a conspiracy going on at Game-infomer.com! Someone should make a thread about this

 

[B E N K E]

I think has something to do with how their site handles screens. PSP-screens are wide screens and maybe their system isn't able to handle that. Or prehpas som smart guy added the borders?

U R NOT (RED) E 4 JAGGIES

 

[KickyFast]

If you take IGN's shots and run a de-interlace filter on them, you would get the same image quality as GI's shots. That's totally unnecessary since PSP's lcd screen in progressive.

 

[eso76]

If they really were resized to 50% and then scaled back to the original size...why would the hud look so detailed and relatively hi res ? while those fonts are indeed blurrier than the official SS, they don't appear nearly as low res as the game itself.
Anyway, you'll be playing this on such a small monitor, resolution shouldn't matter too much.

 

[Acrylamid]

OMG, DS port with Samus Aran confirmed!

 

[Forsete]

I copied this image into Photoshop
http://pspmedia.ign.com/psp/image/article/547/547240/metal-gear-acid-20040913093754170.jpg

Then applied De-Interlace (Odd Fields, Interpolation)

End result..

 

[drohne]

doesn't that planet gamecube guy run gameinformer.com? OH NO ITS A CONSPIRACY!

 

[SiegfriedFM]

De-interlaced, DUH! Look at the first picture. You think the cards would be that blurry, regardless of the 3D graphics quality?

Oh well, trolls are hungry, someone better feed them...

 

[Fafalada]

The fonts are visibly missing lines, making some letters near impossible to read. It's obviously a result of deinterlacing the image (which in turn is equivalent to vertically resizing by 50% and then back up).

 

[Wario64]

Gamespot has the pics too.

http://www.gamespot.com/psp/strategy/metalgearsolid/screenindex.html


Gameinformer owned. Can't even put up pics correctly

 

[Rhindle]

the offical name is going to be called Metal Gear Ac!d.


Leaving out the "i" actually makes the title more descriptive of the apparent game quality.

Yes, they do miss lines. Still they don't look as low res as the rest, but upon further examination that's obviously because these screens were reduced in vertical res only. Or, well, deinterlaced.
The game will probably look more like the official screens
