These are the first King Kong pics for the PSP:

 

[Ghost]

I think i must have gone blind in shock.

 

[Speevy]

The red X is killing King Kong.

 

[snacknuts]

Me too, I've been stricken!

 

[Jacobi]

Props if it runs fluid. Does that mean that are good PSP graphics or bad console graphics, BTW ?

 

[Xrenity]

These are the first King Kong pics for the PSP:

Wth, that looks amazing!
I'd say PS2 quality

 

[ziran]

it looks excellent! it sounds like a great game also.

[Speevy]

Oooh. Looks nice.

 

[Amir0x]

Wow yeah, pretty nice. Not quite on par with the console versions, but a very good effort.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

This shot is just fuck-pumpkin awesome!

 

[Wario64]

wow go PSP

 

[Shawn]

Judging by those shots, I guess it looks good for PSP graphics.

 

[Amir0x]

[Speevy]

The Xbox 360 version is the one to buy, if you have that console.

 

[Minotauro]

They really need to stop trying to put FPS games on PSP. Shit, they're difficult enough to get right on consoles.

 

[sammy]

man i really want this on the PSP if It offers the same game as all the others --- a portable version would be so quality.... but the controls : [

I'll have to get used to using my left hand for look, and the face buttons for strafe --- I can do it, if i practice

Seeing this, I bet they could put Shadow of Colossus on that little portable.

Judging by your post, I'd say you look good for trolling graphics.

Thanks, I was unaware that 360 is a portable too, good to know.

 

[jett]

Looks good for PSP, but in the end it's just ugly 3D.

I didn't mean to say what I said in a negative way.

Five years ago, to think we'd be seeing visuals like that on a handheld, would've been f*cking insane.

I love my PSP by the way. I'm just bitter about my one stuck pixel.

 

[Speevy]

I guess. This is hardly the best kind of portable game, but whatever floats your boat.

 

[Wario64]

DS version looks better right??

 

[Speevy]

Turok has been ported to the PSOne.

 

[Gek54]

Looks good for PSP, but in the end it's just ugly 3D.

and yet ICO is considered beautiful.

 

[FoneBone]

I can't believe that they're actually trying to convert the console design to the DS. That can't go well, even though the 3D engine looks decent.

 

[Speevy]

You scratch Kong and he'll do your bidding. (Mario makes a special guest appearance!)

Hmm... lets see...

1.) You own a PSP
2.) You flame King Kong's Graphics on the PSP
3.) You posted on GaF
4.) You're pissed about one pixel?

:lol

 

[Bigfonzie]

that first DS shot reminds me of duke nukem 3d.





edit: is this the most ported game ever?

I imagine Tony Hawk would get that award.

Whenever I see such PS1 quality shots of DS games I immediately associate the 10fps framerate that such PS1 games used to run at with it. At least this has the potential to run at a constant 60fps... oh well that doesn't make it any less ugly. I guess the last redeeming quality *could* be the controls. But why bother, just get the PC version.

 

[Wollan]

The FPS segment in King Kong PSP won't be bad cause you can't run while shooting in this game I think. On the pc version you press space to bring up the gun and I think you can't move while doing so.

You can't easily play the PC version portable.

 

[..pakbeka..]

they could have done something different with the portable versions

 

[krypt0nian]

they could have done something different with the portable versions

Then people would whine that its "watered down" like the haters said about AC!D.

Port = "Port Machine!!!!"
Different version = "Watered Down!!!!"

[mckmas8808]

DAMN!!! Looks hot. O_O

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Looks really good.

 

[rod]

looks hot. but il be playing through it on a 360+HDTV thnx

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

you can't run while shooting in this game I think

Wrong.

And wow, very nice gfx! Is it the first time I see bloom lighting in a PSP game?

 

[CurlySaysX]

I think WipEout Pure has bloom lighting, but i dont know what bloom lighting is so...

 

[mckmas8808]

What will the PSP be able to produce once devs can use the full 333 Mhz and full graphics engine?

 

[Ranger X]

The FPS segment in King Kong PSP won't be bad cause you can't run while shooting in this game I think. On the pc version you press space to bring up the gun and I think you can't move while doing so.

Actually you can't run while you're aiming with the guns and it's like that on the console versions as well.
Anyway it does not change a thing to run on not in the game seriously...
Oh and of course you can move while aiming the guns.

[Shompola]

in majority of games it means the kind of light you get after a nuclear explosion. that bright and vivid white light that blinds you.

 

[dark10x]

Wrong.

And wow, very nice gfx! Is it the first time I see bloom lighting in a PSP game?

As was noted, Wipeout Pure has some really impressive bloom lighting. It's very lovely.

That's still one of the best looking games on the system.

i tend to think, at 333, its the best looking game on it. better than rr imho

 

[Izzy]

It looks really good - UBI are at the forefront of the PSP development.

There's really no such thing as 'bloom lighting'.
Bloom is the light halos/light bleeding you see around very bright things (light sources & reflected lights).
In CG implementation it's typically a postprocessing effect (you take final picture, blur the very bright parts and add them back into the original picture), and it requires some highdynamic range color information to work.

It's also probably the most obvious HDR effect, which is why it's popular to exagerate it these days.
