actually these may be Xbox screens, not PS2

Looks pretty good.

I tried the Xbox demo last night and was impressed at how it looked. The graphics look much better than the previous SC games. Considering the previous SC games had excellent graphics, it's an impressive achievement.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Wow, slight normal mapping at the very least. Quite solid for a PS2 port. Xbox and PC versions look definately phenomenal.

 

[tedtropy]

Is the series still using a tweaked Unreal Tournament engine? Looks great for a PS2 title. I'm interested to see how it'll look on the XBox...and how poorly it'll run on my PC.

FUGLY CARPET NO BUY!1

Are you sure that's the PS2 version?

There is a demo out? Do I have to preorder the game or does it come with OXM or something?

 

[Wario64]

It was listed as PS2 at first on Gamespot, but now it has these screens for all consoles. So I guess it isn't, damn Gamespot

The newest OXM has demos for SC: CT, UC2, and Worms 3D. I just received it in the mail yesterday, so I imagine it should be hitting magazine stands in a week or two.

coop mode is in the ps2 version only as splitscreen....maybe they gave us online coop too?

UC2 live?

 

[Bristow]

Looks great if that's actually the PS2 version.

 

[IJoel]

UC2 live?

Both Live and offline with bots. 3 maps included, and 3 selectable characters (each with 4 selectable weapons.)

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

A comparison should be done, is there any shots of the Xbox version on IGN.

 

[The Bookerman]

The ps2 version I last saw was grainy as hell.

 

[Lord Error]

There's a developer commentary video of PS2 version I found on B3D and posted in some other thread. I can't say if this is really PS2 version, but that video did have lighting and specularity effects like these. The screens here are obviously high res, but and AA-ed, so it might be just a PC build running at low spec machine?

What makes me think it could be PS2 is that the characters don't seem to have normal mapping (again, hard to tell..).

exckzenllnt!

Yeah, but it didn't have bump mapping, unlike these.

The environments do.

Damn! That's one helluva demo.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

The Xbox version of this game is about the best I've seen on a console graphically. In the top 5 at least. The PC version should be killer. This and the UC2 demo are very impressive.

 

[Ranger X]

Those are all Xbox screens.

 

[whytemyke]

definitely a smart move on the part of ubisoft to have them developing this game from the time the first one hit the market.

 

[Lord Error]

eah, but it didn't have bump mapping, unlike these.

Have you seen it? It kinda did, actually. They are using something they call "Geo texturing", which gives a very simillar results to normal mapping, as they are using real repeating geometry to model bumps. Of course, the major drawback is that usage of that technique is limited to things like floors and walls, and can't be applied to characters.

These screens are probably from Xbox version, though. Characters actually may be normal mapped here, but it's hard to tell from static screens.

Well, bump maps were created exactly to avoid doing this.

Someone rubbed vasoline on the bricks!

 

[radrelic]

Looks good to me.

Those are Xbox screenshots. Ubisoft employee has said so. End of story.
