New PDZ Hi-Res screens

Looks like crap. The quality of these screens has to be intentional IMO.

continues to looks really good to me, but i'm sure i'm in the minority.
 
After Blim's video I was of the opinion that the game looks fun, the character models are dissapointing, but the backgrounds are nice looking even though they aren't mind-blowing (nice explosions though), but then I see this officially sanctioned pic:

I mean come on, look at the cliffs in the background! There's no excuse for such blatant polygon edges standing out like that next-gen, none at all - and the per-pixel effects are just awful in most of these shots, I'm sure they work better in motion, but here they're just bleh.
 
I don't get it....this game looks different in the trailers, different in the screens, different in the gameplay footage and different in the mag scans, even the vioce work is different in the trailer compared to in-game.
 
Disappointing textures and pre-Unreal Tournament 2K3 polycounts aside one thing that feels off to me are the colors. It's too bright, colourful, Kameo-ish... I don't think it fits the FPS genre.

With one hundred Johanas.

Most confusing game ever.


One more new Joanna face and I'm fucking sending Ninja to Rare HQ.

Bloody retribution I say...



In all seriousness, if they by some grace of God pull this off with all of this prior confusion/fuck up this will be the greatest triumph in gaming.

But I'm really doubting that will happen with official screenies like this.
 
I was waiting on the pic of a rollercoaster, GAF does not disapoint!

No. Actually these screenshots are more close to how the game looked like on those Samsung LCDs at X05. Gameplay footage is deceiving cos is not as hi-res as the real thing, so stuff like the aliasing in the background teiresias was pointing at can be hardly seen. Hey, ame goes for PGR3, but I doubt Bizarre is gonna release as 'honest' screens as these PD0 ones.
 
It almost seems like the framebuffer grabs from the 360 doesn't get any post processing effects (namely AA and AF) as most of the screens released are lacking those, yet in motion they are in fact applied.
 
Oh man this game is much better to be viewed in blurry scans. Graphically this has to be the biggest dissapointment on the 360 IMO. Amazing that this and Kameo are coming from the same place.

yeah, i really dont know what to think anymore.

im just going to stop looking at media, and just try it out when its released.
 
Schafer, did you actually see the game in person cos I dint notice any AA applied to it
 
On top of everything, that's some really bizarre and hacky looking shadowing technique they are using.

I don't think AF is post processing effect?

GEEZUS man back off. Mistakes happen, they just forgot to put the expansion pak in, thats all :lol :lol :lol :lol
 
I simply cannot comprehend how this game can be developed by the same company that made Conker, which pushed the gfx on the Xbox that almost makes PDZ look poor in comparison.

You would be surprised how big many peoples images are before they are scaled down. I've seen some really big ones. Probably slows down the 56Kers big time.
 
Makes no sense at all. Watch the Blim video of this game on an HD LCD and it looks so much better it is mindblowing. Since I have an HDTV, I'm not in the least worried about it anymore.

And yes, whoever is in charge of promotion at Rare needs to be fired ASAP.
 
Maybe it's been said to many times before but buying Rare is about the most stupid things Microsoft has ever done. Damn, it's one of the most stupid things any company has ever done!

Such videos can hide flaws. Not to mention they weren't direct feed and at native res (at least the one I saw).
