Which is why PDZ is a sci-fi game.

I want to get into the Xbox 360. I really do. But these screenshots aren't helping. 
These look pretty bland, definitely. But Rare games always look crappy when they are first unveiled. SFA did. So did Kameo.
So although nothing looks exactly promising, I'm not abandoning all hope just yet.
On a related note...Microsoft IS launching a new console in six months, RIGHT? What gives with all the crappy media and non-playable E3 games? Reminds me of Nintendo shortly before the Gamecube launched, but even then their E3 was solid. W.T.F.

That can mostly be explained by the fact that the console was already out in Japan by then, or about to come out. Typically, console launches in Japan are in spring/early summer. So of course, by the time E3 rolls around, launch software and hardware is ready to be shown in full force.
It isn't the case this time with Microsoft, since the Japan launch will occur around the same time as the US one.

Still a full two months before the US launch of Xbox 360. I'd be curious to see how Xbox 360 launch titles are going to look like 2 months from now, running on the final hardware.
"so which game looks like next gen to you? GOW or PD0? if you choose PD0... i don't know what to say you bub......"
This is a pretty biased comparison by comparing a high res, non-gameplay screen of Gears Of Wars featuring on up close charaters to a in-game, low res, dark picture of PDO featuring nothing but a gun and everything else that should have detail on it is covered by dark shadows. Try this if you don't believe me. Go ahead and compare a gameplay pic of Gears of War to that pic you posted, and see how your picture will still jump out, even though it's from the same damn game.

Not really fair to compare a multiplayer shot of a game that will support 50 players with a single player shot of a game.kIdMuScLe said:i expect next gen to look like this...
....not like this piece of shit

Final hardware is out in July, and I'd imagine the games would have to be done some time in October to be submitted for QA and bug testing. Is three months enough time to take the game from this to a "next gen" level of visuals? This doesn't even look good for a game running on an X800.

The game will be good, and it will look good. It's as simple as that. It's fun to joke about it now, but anyone who is banking oin this game not being worthy of the PD name is going be in for quite a shock.

you are seriously the funniest poster on this board. the character you created is fucken genius.
Don't you have something better to do than to troll every Xbox threads in existence ? Yes it looks like shit, no it does not have FSAA BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RUN ON THE FINAL GPU YET !. It could very well look like shit when it will launch but IT WILL HAVE FSAA !ram said:
I'm fucking tired of seeing you in every Xbox topics. You hate Microsoft, you love Sony, we got the point now a few months ago already.

That looks better than the hallway shot in PD0. Nice subtle lighting on the tiles is really well done. The PD0 shots are just using stupid pixel shaders, over-exaggerating lighting and texturing for the sake of going 'ooh look how bumpy it is'. Just doesn't look real.
PeeDeeZee is amazing.

The reason I know the final game will be better is because of the company behind it. To Rare, the game's look is of the highest priority. They won't release a game that doesn't set a standard -- or at least stand toe to toe with other titles -- with respect to the game cosmetics. They pride themselves on that, and I don't believe for a second that they'll compromise their stance. If Rare is behind it, best believe it's going to look good. Play good? Who knows.
Am I the only floored by how fucking stupid this thread has become?
People are complaining about some of the same fucking screens that were complained about the last time there was a thread about "new" PDZ screens.
The only two we haven't seen already are obviously from the same old fucking build that all the other pics came from (unless the build they showed at E3 had fucking jaggies also, which I doubt).

The geometry and textures look a little better in those screens, but to me it seems like they were going for slightly exagerated proportions, and haevn't exactly struck a good balance between the lighting and the art styles yet, seems like they're trying to go for gritty and cartoony at the same time, in some cases it looks too perfect and computer generated.
I have a feeling a lot of the art will be sorted out before release, but art aside the actual foundation that the game is built on seems pretty solid.
