New PDZero screen???

What did I say? This will be the showcase title at the MS press event, and it will kick out the teeth of the trolls who had a field day with the 1up screens.

Uh...this is much better, but it's still not kicking my teeth in. They are going to have to kick it up a notch to impress me. If you told me these new screens were from an Xbox game, I would not doubt you.

PD0 Day 1 was the most fun I've had around here in a long time. Nothing better than coming home to a 10 page thread on GAF. Reminded me of the Donkey Konga announcement. :lol

It's common to release renders, yes, its not common to release renders that don't use the games actual artstyle. That'd be like Polyphony releasing renders of GT that make the cars look like they're from ChoroQ. It'd make no sense.

Right, I didn't think about that aspect.

I'd buy it but I bet its like 50SEK. No way in hell I'm paying that for something that will be online in a couple of hours anyway.

Everyone with eyes bashed it.

those screens yes. They sucked. but not everyone believed they were representative of what PD0 will be. Wait until the 1st gameplay video and it will be realized that PD0 can't be done on this gen. By the time it's released, it'll be one of the prettiest games ever.

Reminds me of some real bad Far Cry mod done in 15 minutes.


Yeah, my disappointment stems from the fact that the flagship Xbox 360 launch title can't seem to match the best graphically impressive game on the PC right now (Half LIfe 2).

And yeah, where's the AA? (only 4X?!? that's kinda low...)

Supposedly X360 can do 4XAA practically free.
 
Beezy said:
What the hell are you talking about? I haven't played a PC fps in my life.

I was just adding emphasis. These screens aren't exactly amazing by current standards, let alone what we should be seeing for "next gen."
 
I get what you mean, I bashed it as well. But I KNEW there was much more to it than that. I have this habit of actually thinking on things and considering other options, unlike the trolls who just want to get their digs in.

Right, Razoric?

4x would be more than enough.. but no AA is just inexcusable. Even if the devs are working on X800s.. they should still get 4x AA pretty easily.

I have no doubt current gen systems wont be able to pull it off. And I sincerely doubt your last statement.

My biggest problem is with these screens I see no reason to jump ship to next-gen yet. If Gears of War was a release title then yes, but this game is just... blah. (so far)
 
At least it looks better than Halo :lol

Now watch the game go into overdrive in the coming months :D

Kameo went from looking great to "almost" next gen within what? 6 months

I forgot all 360 games should be running in 1280 x 720 (?). In that case 4XAA will be enough. (like pestul said)

It's just... weird to see 4XAA in a next-gen machine (think year 2010!) when even my old video card supports 8X.

What about the video on the MTV special? That looked like shit too.


Some multiplayer vid of a old build of the game not running on final dev kit, and you already write the game off. In spite of the fact they still have months of dev time, on the FINAL dev kit, and that multiplayer games always have toned down graphics compared to the single player.

Give things a chance, man....E3 is here soon enoguh, then we'll see.

What we saw on MTV consist of only multiplayer video, now if there goal is to have up to 50 players in one deathmatch, its understandable the characters would appear to be lacking in the polygon and detail.


Battlefield 2 disagrees.

Even these latest single player shots look like crap.
 
:lol None of this stuff in defense of the low quality screens meshes too well with reality. Games on X800 chips already look substantially better than this. If they come through with a stunning graphical showcase in the end, I'll be the first to congratulate them. But nothing we've seen so far comes anywhere near deserving those accolades.
 
Wow, the new screens looks great. Definitely needs a bit more improvement though.

Anyways, I don't think this pic is Joanna, I think it might be her sister Velvet Dark

Since PDZ is a prequel, this quite possibly might be Velvet but younger

X360 cannot do free 4x FSAA. Can do 2x, but just barely, and it is tricky at that. 2x + HDR is going to be quite a bit of work. Will have to copy out to main RAM for most things.

Anyway, yeah, uhh... someone else mentioned it, but why are these screens 4:3? Why are they 640x480? Are these early Xbox screens? It sure looks like it.

Oh, I didn't know it was an old build. If it really was an old build, then they shouldn't have released that vid or the pics in the first place.
 
The two pics which look like cutscenes are great. The other two showing gameplay still look complete shite.

Well, not complete shite. The 1up pics have redefined that term. These would just be bad.

I think the other stuff released was pretty obviouisly TECHNICALLY pretty good, and certainly beyoond this gen. It had a very robust lighting model, highly detailed bump mapping, and some pretty high polygon characters. Only problem was it still looked like shit. Mostly due to the characters just looking weird.

These newer screens are much better. Especially the one with Joanna holding the gun. If that is gameplay graphics I'll be quite pleased, as it looks very nice. Her character model is clearly out of the reach of this gen of systems in such an environment.
 
Maybe, just maybe these are "work in progress" Xbox shots.

Xbox360 shots will look alot better. Again, dont judge the game on anything until monday !

/high fives Cerrius :D
 
Another thought I had in terms of style, they've been talking about how it becomes 'your' game and you mold it to be like you want it to a certain extent, it's possible that you choose your style for joanna and the game reacts accordingly by changing enemy designs to fit within the artistic style. Certainly not outside the bounds of possibility, and could be kindof cool.
 
Did you all just happen to miss the comment on Xboxyde that these are from an old build? Likely released to stem the tide of hate that those other images produced. Some of you talk like the game will never get any better...like it's launching tomorrow or something.


Do none of you remember Conker's first Xbox appearance? N64 model spruced up...and look at how it ended up a year after that. This game will be in full crunch mode till the X360's release and will get a ton of effects added as the new gpu comes in.

This is fucking Rare people...they don't make bad looking games (artsyle gripes aside)
 
How fucking hard would it be for Rare to clarify what's real and what's not, considering people are already beginning to form their opinions on the game based on what's been released?
 
well its not like they were leaked, early pics that weren't meant to be seen. They are what MS/Rare were stupid enough to give us, so they were deserving of being criticized, as they looked like pure shit. Nobody is going to be "eating crow" or any shit like that. The screens sucked. People mocked them. End of story.
 
Expect PD Zero to pull a "Star Fox Adventures" with continual delays of a month or two until it finally releases a year after system launch. I have no doubt Kameo's going to be Rare's only 2005 360 release.

I dont see Kameo be released 2005. They quickly doctored some nice screenshots/movies, but I dont think there is much game behind it.
