nah, it's not obvious that is what the writer is saying. really could go either way.

Yes, it is obvious. The original context of what he was talking about was style (the cartoony/anime style of the old renders) and had nothing to do with graphical quality.

MS bought Rare as a long-term investment and didn't really expect to make benefit from acquiring them until the next generation. With Xbox360 coming out this year (right? or am I totally out of the loop), do you really expect their first huge Rare game to be on the Xbox when they're trying to shift focus away from the Xbox and onto their next system? Unless they plan on releasing PD0 in the next couple months... that's really likely....

I still don't see how they can integrate the whole "scanning your body and face into the game" without some asshole scanning his penis or some shit.

Olimario's dream game.

 

[trmas]

If this game reminds anyone of Halo, that's certainly not going to help me want to purchase...

What about those 3 millions copies of Halo 2 sold? Will they want to?

Haha, for some reason reminded me of the legendary Reirom penishead pic. Just imagine a level full of those chasing you! Menage a billion!

 

[Mejilan]

I imagine if they do allow full body scanning, then that's only for the offline portion. That, or scans will be filtered through a website first, ala one of the Tony Hawk games for the PS2, IIRC?

I thought I was the only one that noticed. E3 should be interesting.

 

[Odnetnin]

Kameo is a FAIRY not an ELF, DUH!!!

I think you're wrong. I'm sure that Rare changed Kameo to a female elf in green because they were afraid that the fairy thing was too gay for the xbox demographics. She's an elf now.

 

[trmas]

Oh I'll just use MS instead.. touchy little XBoys on this forum. Is that better? Is it less offensive?

And amazingly enough, many gamers seem to hate Halo. Look at the overrated thread..

:lol I'm calm as can be. Just got back from throwing the football with my dad and having a DQ sundae.

i was 11. biotch. :lol

I told you in another thread that 11 year olds are smarter than 16 year olds. This is one example.

 

[Crankenstein]

The graphics do not look like the early concept renders of Joanna, but rather realistic graphics that land somewhere in between Half-Life and Halo.


I guess I won't be getting Xbox360 at launch after all.

That is an understatement. Wow. Next gen hardware and it is halfway between HL1 and Halo1?

 

[Odysseus]

Realistic look? Oh well, back on the "who cares?" list for PDZ.

 

[bitwise]

sigh.

Rare's Kameo's = Ugly shemale Elf (bad art)

Hey! Kameo may have been ugly, but let's not drag shemales through the mud here!

Will you people please stop posting that hideous fuckin' creature. Do it one 'mo gain and see what happens.

That is what the "insider" said. Don't blame me. :lol

 

[radrelic]

what the fuck?

...the hell were you expecting, a japanese anime?!

:lol

 

[Odysseus]

what the ****?

...the hell were you expecting, a japanese anime?!

:lol

Anime? No.

But I had hoped it maintained a style that differentiated it from the 1000 other FPSs that are on Xbox/Xbox 360. Being not much into FPSs, a game that looks like the rest just isn't going to whet my appetite.

 

[android]

If they lengthen her hair and soften her face the realistic look will be fine with me. If they don't I would prefer the cartoon version.

 

[bitwise]

Anime? No.

just because it has realistic graphics doesn't mean it won't have any style to it.

anyways, we havent seen one screen of the game yet. so you are making your judgement too early. IMO of course.

 

[Odysseus]

Again, this is from someone who doesn't typically care for the FPS genre. For example: unlike most people that primarily game on Xbox, I don't splooge everytime Ubisoft announces a Tom Clancy game. I don't care about Brothers in Arms. Half-Life 2 can bite me. Etc.

 

[Kiriku]

The graphics do not look like the early concept renders of Joanna, but rather realistic graphics that land somewhere in between Half-Life and Halo.

Now, in terms of style, what the hell is he trying to say exactly? What is the distinct graphical style of Halo and Half-life 2, and what would a game somewhere in-between actually look like??

 

[bitwise]

alrite.

That is what the "insider" said. Don't blame me. :lol

Way to so blatantly take stuff out of context.

The real quote:

but rather realistic graphics that land somewhere in between Half-Life and Halo.

As in, graphics of a realistic nature (stylistically reminiscent of Halo and HL) as opposed to the aformentioned cartoony nature that the older renders displayed. If you're going to take what he said so literally, then are you trying to tell me that Rare's biggest Xbox game is going to lie somewhere inbetween Half-Life and Halo in terms of graphical quality? Are you fucking kidding me? And if he was referring not to style but level of graphics, then how the hell could such a low level of graphics quality be "realistic"? And to top it off, read my first post and think about that.

Working two analog sticks at the same time intimidates you eh?

 

[Quadrophenic]

Now, in terms of style, what the hell is he trying to say exactly? What is the distinct graphical style of Halo and Half-life 2, and what would a game somewhere in-between actually look like??

I was wondering this too. Perhaps they mean the amount of sci-fi-ish-ness that PDZ has? As in Halo is set in a more technologically advanced world than HL2, and it shows in the style of archtecture/character design/ect. But i havent played a lot of either HL2 or Halo games (well, I playted about the first half of Halo 1)

I hope PDZ retains the Blade Runner style.

 

[Odysseus]

:lol

Ask me to list my gripes concerning Metroid Prime and see what is near the top!

 

[Ramirez]

Metroid Prime is perfect as it is,don't touch it!

 

[Prine]

eh, he's obviously talking about the style.

Cant wait to see some pics !

 

[drohne]

aw, i kinda liked the cartoony joanna.

I was going to say that, only less intense.

What does Enter the Matrix have to do with this?

Enter the matrix didnt nearly as well. Only a fraction of Halo 2 WW sales

I agree with Odysseus here. The XBX is already saturated with semi-look alike FPSer graphics. I'm also sure that this won't change next-gen, (esp. w/XNA) I liked the Joanna renders because they were visually different, & imo much more can be acheived artistically & otherwise without adhering to this "photorealistic look."

 

[trmas]

I think that is my main gripe with the XBox. Too many FPS games that look the same. Nice, but the same.

I'm really looking forward to Conker because it's not the same as the other XBox titles. That's what makes Psychonauts so appealing as well. Flame away...
