Difference being that the Red Sox actually pulled one out.
 
So, it's like official now, right? RARE is the worst dev of all time. Worse than ET era Atari. So bad even Nintendo didn't want them. OUCH.
 
given the plain blue background and the "hdr enabled" in the corner, i suspect it's a shot from the devkit.

and while there's much to criticize in nintendo's decisions over the last several years, they're excellent at severing relationships with shit developers: they dumped silicon knights, and got paid hundreds of millions of dollars to cut rare loose.
 
Umm all this multi-player damage control wrangling that some of you guys are doing would only work if there aren't more FPS games out there which have great looking multiplayer mode. Hiding behind/demo/multiplayer does not explain why:

the art was bad
the models were shonky

and

WALLGUY.

come on.

I still don't understand why they seem to be struggling with the graphics. Their games are almost never fun, but they are certainly capable of creating visually amazing games. Star Fox Adventures is still one of the best looking games of this generation.

Conker looks pretty respectable too. I'm not a huge Rare or Microsoft fan, and I'd rather not get accused of "damage control" or whatever, but it seems awfully unlikely that Rare has suddenly decided to start making games that look like shit.

Was the MTV show some massive hypnotic event performed by Sony then?

well I agree, but they should do something about their own NST

I don't know which MTV show you watched, but the shitty one I saw was pretty light on actual PD0 footage and a lot heavier on generating general hype for the 360 brand among the MTV crowd.

As for the screenshots, which it's true do match up to the brief bit we saw on television, it's not too hard for me to believe that Microsoft may be intentionally leading the public on that PD0 is not a graphically impressive title in order to create more publicity when the real deal is shown off, which will be after Sony has shown its cards.

...and yet, they still don't look like anything Xbox1 couldn't handle. What they hell are the guys at Rare doing over there?

Seriously, we've seen like 4 Joanna models, none of them impressive for a next gen machine. This makes no sense.
 
Even if it looks as good as that video it still doesnt look very good.



Maybe it really was MS' plan to lower everyones expectations with shitty screens then release something barely passable and get praised.

They look as good if not better than HL2 models. I dont know what you are smoking.
 
Yeah that new ingame Joanna model does look better. But why the hell does she still have clumpy hair?

I thought we were getting away from this aspect next gen? I guess not...!
 
Honestly i think the models in that video look pretty damn good. I mean.. theyre not going for a realistic style. It looks nice and smooth. Better than Halflife 2.

_maybe_ those models are possible in a Xbox(1) fighting game.. but FPS? no.

If i was being kind i could say it looked as good as HL2 models, theres no way it looks better. Those same Half-life models will be on Xbox.
 
*Starts to get excited again*

So why the fuck did they leave this footage out of the US and UK unveiling?? WTF is MS up to
 
That Joanna model in the new video still doesn't look better than the one shown on 1up IMO


Same model but it's just brighter.


EDIT: No way in hell it looks better than ANY Half-Life 2 models, WTF are you guys SMOKING
 
They just aim for different art styles, so it's hard to make a fair comparison.

Rare decided to go with the godawful timesplitters style.
 
I wish i wasnt at work so i could take some screenshots of the video



but both joanna models in the video look twice as good as Alex in HL2.
 
Use the one from the first picture on the thread. The video linked shows its definately an ingame model at some point. Even if in a cutscene.

Im jumping on XBL in 15 minutes, you up for some Halo2 + PD0 whinning?
 
The nice thing about these better PD0 visuals being revealed now instead of on Monday is that it should keep Sony from pulling any punches with their PS3 presentation.
 
well both Joanna models are in that video (and now we know where that pdo screen on this thread came from)

In-engine cutscenes?

And doesn't the game cut to third-person when you roll?

No, you're thinking of Metroid Prime.
 
Before i go, can Mark from EGM comment about the game?? He's played it right? Single player or multiplayer? Good or bad??
 
The model in that video looked exactly like the model in the MTV and 1up preview just a different skin on one of em. Engine renders with zero enviroment modeling are not represenative of "in-game" models just look at Fable. Besides the graphics aren't the problem it is the god awful art design didn't you see those concept drawings in the video? No wonder she looks like crap.
 
Phew. That video restored my faith. Models look great. Whoever sanctioned the MTV stuff needs a good kicking tho - talk about shooting self in foot.

I could live with that. Doesn't look anything like the crap from the MTV special - I know, I tivo'd it. Then laughed again and again and again. Holding on to it until I need the space.

There isn't enough to laugh about in life these days.

Uh, then maybe you weren't paying too good attention?

Because Gears of War looked freakin amazing.
