SSX On Tour interface?

 

[krypt0nian]

Can't they just shelve this one?

Blech.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The interface is horrible...horrible...

 

[Jacobi]

Looks weird on some shots. The second and last screen look good though.

 

[KingJ2002]

this game doesnt even look mediocre anymore... it just looks bad.

this game would look decent if they used cel shading (considering the style they are going for with this game)

i mean... really... this is just bad. xbox characters on nintendo 64 backgrounds

 

[Yusaku]

How come that's not labled 2K BEATS?

 

[kIdMuScLe]

1080 for the N64 looks better than this shit

 

[Mupepe]

Can't they just shelve this one?

Blech.

Because it will Halo us all the week before the xbox 360 launches and it will turn into a killer app. I'm an industry insider so I know. Quote me on this.

 

[Kangu]

Thank God MS released the specs for the X360, otherwise I'd be thinking the goddamn console is a piece of shit technologicaly analogous to the DS.

 

[Error Macro]

It looks better than Amped 2 in 720p, but not by much.

 

[FightyF]

1080 for the N64 looks better than this shit

Y'know there's always a thread where there's a 360 game shown, and someone makes the ridiculous claim that it doesn't look better than any Xbox title.

Now...here's a game that could actually fit that bill...yet people decide to continue with the nonsensical comments.

 

[Andy787]

This looks fantastic.

 

[krypt0nian]

This looks fantastic.

wait...where?

 

[Project Midway]

Models look meh but IMO the zoomed out shots look great, like this one:

 

[kevm3]

What's up with the trend a lot of these developers are using of having graphics look only slightly better than current gen, but just throw a ton of shit on screen? I have to disagree. I find those trees plastered all over the screen ugly as hell.

 

[Blimblim]

One thing (and about the only one) I like in Amped 3 is that the whole lighting and shadowing is completely realtime. Nothing seems to be prebaked so the colors and the shadows all change depending on the time of the day.
That's about everything good I have to say about this game so far.

 

[ronito]

Great!....so where are the shots from the 360 version???

I was gonna mention that. The tree shadows don't seem to be a pre-rendered lightmap, and the way it's implemented softly (as is the boarder's shadow) looks excellent IMO. The logs, tires, and even that bus casts it as well, but the lack of self shadowing sort of kills things. It would of course be too expensive to do on trees, but on that bus...would have made a big difference.

If the boarder and things like that had self shadowing, and the textures were razorsharp, I have a feeling the opinions on this game's viauals would take a 180 turn for most people.

Earlier pics showed off some great powder effects...I wonder if it was that one shot in particular though...

360

xbox

and cause some people are retarded, n64

 

[Kseutron]

looks terrible

 

[Gee]

Really don't like the HUD in the first screen, but i wonder how the game looks in motion..

 

[op_ivy]

the hud is an improvement for the series though, and i really like that front end, especially if thats all 3d and animates and shit.

 

[MrAngryFace]

So when is the 360 going to be next gen?

 

[bummyhead]

I must be a moron.

All the time I see screenshots posted that look perfectly great to me and see nothing but complaints.

it really looks marginally better then amped 2 (which also ran at 720p!!!). not only that, but they have completely ruined any style the game once had with its fake-ass, hip, "doood", nikolodeon bullshit it has now. to top it off, they have completely cheesed the whole experience with sleds, tubes, snowmobiles, hang gliders and god knows what else.

i'd say people have been quite genrous in this thread so far.

amped 3 makes amped fans cry themselves to sleep at night

 

[Jerkface]

So when is the 360 going to be next gen?

Ah yes, the "ignore the good looking games" manoeuvre! Very impressive!

 

[Kseutron]

are you serious ?

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

I give this a big fat MEH

 

[pilonv1]

I don't care how it looks, I just hate the fact they've ruined such an awesome series.

 

[Ryudo]

So when is the 360 going to be next gen?

As soon as you become worthy of breathing oxygen..... this could take a while....

 

[Helznicht]

Well, hopefully Amped 2 will be backwards compatible.......

 

[Angst]

Actually the shots don't really look bad, but it's just that they look alot like amped on xbox and even ssx on the PS2. Hopefully they'll delay the game and give it some much-needed improvement.

 

[Xellotah]

Its a snowboarding game.... How much better looking can you make snow look?

 

[Helznicht]

ALOT

 

[Jacobi]

As soon as you become worthy of breathing oxygen..... this could take a while....

WTF ? LOL, chill, this is about VIDEOGAMES

 

[Tunesmith]

I'm having seizures when looking at that hip and cool menu design. :/

 

[DrM]

Flower Power is back!

 

[Speevy]

Well, Amped 2 still looks better than SSX On Tour but this looks like crap.

 

[Raiden]

Worlds greatest snowboard game^


Damn i kinda miss N64 graphics

 

[DarienA]

<sigh> If only some of these shots had some fake lens flare added....

 

[bud]

Random tree generator.

 

[Yusaku]

Random trees with NO SNOW on them.

 

[E-Nature]

is this supposed to be next-gen graphics? looks like current-gen graphics to me.....

 

[Juice]

My only impression when looking at those screens was this:

Trees are the new grass.

Looks like an Xbox game in high res. Wee.

 

[Mama Smurf]

360

xbox

and cause some people are retarded, n64

Yeah, thats a GC screen 'cos, crazily enough, The N64 wasn't quite up to making trees look as good as those 2 generations ahead.

 

[Willy Wanka]

I thought it looked alright in the videos but there is no way I would even consider buying it after what they have done to the gameplay.

 

[polg]

wins

 

[Dante]

Is it atleast 60 FPS? :lol

 

[ShowDog]

Ya it looks like the xbox game with different trees (that all look bad anyways). Bad bad bad.
