when MS launch globally on MTV, to millions of people, spending 90% of the air time reserved for games building up to PD0 - they deserve every fucking slam they are getting
And if, after all that, the game looks great, with shots released hours afterwards, then they deserve even more slaps for being so stupid.

so the original xbox build looked better than the xbox360 version? WTF Rare?

Single player >> Xbox360 alpha multiplayer
the screen of the closeup of Joanna that was released with the initial batch doesn't exactly strike me as multiplayer. What would be the context of that? Looked more like some kind of cutscene to me. I don't buy that excuse.

How much should I bash Rare?
What if these shots don't represent the final game look and they look alot better? What can I bash about them then. I guess I can say the game will never be released.
Bash them for allowing MS to show shonky multiplayer code simply because MS love multiplayer over LIVE so much, and thats more important than blitzing casual gamers with eye candy.
I don't know how they can make such a bad call, unless J.Allard has all the Xbox staff fitted with Xbox live blinkers. They certainly spent more time talking about live in the MTV ad than what the machine can actually deliver in terms of game experience.

have you played mario vs. donkey kong? it's so awesome it redeems all of nst's other crap.
and, uh...these new shots consist of two potential renders and two obviously in-game screens. the in-game screens look horrendous. so i don't see why anyone's at all encouraged.
edit: actually, looking at that shot of the soldiers some more, it seems real-time. if the actual game looks like that new joanna shot, then the day is saved. what the hell is going on here? there seem to be about a dozen joanna models and a half-dozen builds of the game in circulation.

but why PD0 multiplayer on triple-core X360 would look worse than Halo 2 multiplayer on celeron Xbox? *confused*
I think MGS is going to lean on Epic to rush Gears of War instead. Similar to Bungie's insane rush for Halo making Xbox 1 launch.Mrbob said:
Between Kameo, PGR3 & Gears, MGS will have an excellent launch lineup. PD0 would be better served getting cleaned up and launching later.
While MVsDK is indeed excellent, it doesn't even begin to atone for what NST did to Ridge Racer or Crystalis. Never forget!drohne said:

GoW isn't due until next summer though. That'd be one hell of a rush. i don't think they can knock almost a year off the dev time.

When that 6 month rush cuts your remaining dev time in half...that's a big rush.
The X360 launch is strong enough without PD0, and really, PD0 does not look good, it needs more time. It is the flagship title and all....
And its interesting to note that people were so disappointed by SS batch #1 (1up) that on several different message boards posters are actually saying these new screen shots look good, FANTASTIC, and NEXT-GEN. :lol

Everything is relative. They're fantastic compared to the last batch. But, that's it.
I'm inclined to bump the 'What do you expect from next gen' thread from a while back, with all those ridiculously detailed cg scenes being posted. Would be quite humourous.
Of course, nothing should be written off yet. I have no reason to lower my expectation from the other 2 players. I fully expect to be impressed.

Ok, now I'm getting excited again. Those soldiers look like those Killzone soldiers in the commercials. That's pretty awesome looking. Like someone said, if Rare can get those graphics with 50 players at 30 fps (60 would be preferable, but Halo is 30 so meh), I'd be impressed.

Well Rare is a huge development studio.
I have a friend who has a brother who has a dog that works at Rare, and he says that each time you beat the game you unlock an updated graphics engine. Beat the game eight times and you unlock the true power of 360! You must take at least three months each time to beat the game, and you unlock the newer graphics engines by logging onto Live and downloading the latest graphics patch.
I wondered why this thread grew so fast. Those pics are pretty much direct capture and not scans - its damage control release imo.
The Joanna one is just :lol that's clearly not ingame as well, you won't be seeing that view and well, she looks nothing like any of the other shots of Joanna.
As for the in-game shots, that's next gen? If you bring in the NNN shots, their character models are subperb - you cna see the edges on the armour so clearly. Again. Not next gen.
I notice the images got XY on them - its from XBOYDE isn't it. Continues to amaze me how they get all that media + images. I'm sure like our colony its like a viral marketin site masquerading as a fan site.
Releasing actual direct-capture pictures instead of shitty scans is "damage control"?
You sure that's not in-game? You absolutely positive that couldn't be a shot from a cut-scene or from switching to 3rd-person and swinging the camera around? I suppose you could be right.... I don't remember ever seeing Master Chief in Halo or Halo 2.
They're shitty looking, jaggy, and not of the aspect ratio that every X360 screenshot was promised to be released in. I doubt that's the actual game.
And I don't know what 'subperb' means.... below perb?
As for the two screenshots posted above--assuming they are actual screens from the real build of the game, it's at the very least pretty impressive, and possibly really fucking nice depending on how good it looks in motion (animation, lighting/shadowing etc). We'll just have to see. Perhaps those original, shitty screenshots were just released as a mindfuck to set our expectations low, only to blow us away later. ... =/

Yep. I'll bet anything that at some point MS will even try to release the actual game in an attempt to spin wall guy. I'm on to these guys and won't be tricked by quality.
