Project Force PS3 trailer

Chiggs said:
Really? Are you referring to the IGN trailer? Because I watched that. Maybe it's just a shitty video, I guess I could reserve judgement (but it is FROM Software...).

No i'm talking about the screens. The video actually looks pretty good. The screens were terrible and people went straight into ripping the game (me included) because it didn't look good at all.

What's shitty about it? That's detailed as hell and is bathed in nice HDR lighting effects and global shadowing.

I've actually enjoyed a number of FROM titles this gen, though. :\ I just want more Kings Field...

Hey, to each his own. The only truly impressive next-gen games that I've seen out of both camps are PGR3, Gears of War and Heavenly Sword. There was the FPS from Insomniac (I-8) too, but I'm not sure if that was real time or not.

It's entirely possible that I'm setting my standards too high, though.

So animation isn't important? Gears of War animates like shit...

Go look in the main thread, people were ripping into this game when it was just screens. It's completely different in motion and doesn't deserve to be bashed like that.

Very true… those screens were complete shit but the game looks hot in the video.

I love the bit where it blows the sky scraper up. :D

It's a bit too fast to catch some of the details when the video is playing though; slow it down a little and it looks fabulous.

It was, and running at 60fps. Actually met one of the devs after the press conference and that's what he told me.

Nah, it's important. It's just that Gears of War floored me to a point where I was able to forgive certain things. I fully expect the game to improve, and the same can probably be said of Project Force, too. However, that said, I feel that animation for something biological is going to be far more difficult to produce than, say, a mech stomping around a city.


Edit: That .gif that Wax Free just posted does highlight some impressive visuals, though. Explosions look nice.

Thanks. The explosions and smoke effects are very cool. When I saw similar effects in the Killzone trailer I really hoped that they could be pulled off. That this is obviously very early makes more very happy.

I'm not really literate in programmer trickery - anyone help a brother out and identify what kind of effects are going into those explosions? I'm assuming they are dynamic explosions and not just explosion animations.

Naturally, organic creatures are more difficult to animate...but it has been done many times. Gears of War animates like a PC game and looks really bad when actually being played. I HOPE that changes, though, as the actual scenery is mind blowingly cool.
 
Pics were utter garbage. Sub-Chrome Hounds, and I ripped that game to bits. In motion, a definite step up. But From Software ain't that good with graphics, and it kinda shows. I will say one thing though, those smoke effects were fucking sweet-ass. The only thing that had me interested in the trailer. Otherwise, dull bg and dull bots. But it's FS, so I don't expect much. :? PEACE.

I-8 looked like a hi-res current gen game. I wouldn't put that over this as looking more next-gen.

Holy shit dude, time for you to put back your Armored Core Nexus into your PS2.

No, it looked more like a current gen PC game (with more action on screen). It is more detailed than Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, that much is for certain. It didn't impress me that much either, though...

However, at 60 fps, that's not too bad...
 
I-8 @ E3 looked like crap...plain and simple. Nice particle effects with the smoke and stuff, and clearly a ton of guys on screen, but very bland, with very crummy bgs and some underwhelming visuals all around. It was early, but it definitely showed. Hope they had a better version of that at this presser, but I doubt it. And again, Project Force looks night and day in those screens and vids. But it's still the worst thing shown today IMO. PEACE.

Geez, how can you just sling stuff like that around? "Crap"? That's just a foolish thing to say...

It wasn't really all that impressive (for the PS3), but that doesn't make it crap.
 
Hey, talk all the shit about I-8 that you want, but, to me, that game looked like it would be more fun than any of the stuff that was previewed today(barring RE5).

It's early, but it definitely shows promise.
 
I-8 looks awesome! I just hope it has a good story and not some lame mutant-bio crap. I want aliens!

I didn't like it at first but the more I watch the trailer the more I liked it.
 
Maybe its because I don't have insider, but I still think this game looks bad for PS3. (visually -- the game itself looks interesting)

Besides the number of guys on screen, it looked like a current-gen PC game. A high-end game, but a PC game none the less. It's early. It's gonna improve. But I'll call a spade a spade, and seeing that big, spiderlike monster was embarassing IMO. The game looks like ass. But it's not like I'm ripping the actual game, just the current form it's in. Insomniac owns. That game should look killer when it's done...which should be a ways away. PEACE.

Ha, what was I thinking. You're right. Half-Life 2 DOES look like ass.
