What the HELL happened here?

Compare that to

Wow!
here are the rest of the new ones

 

[Wario64]

you're stealing my 'bizarfs' now?

 

[sprsk]

it does look bad, but the game IS fun.

 

[lexy]

Does this game even have a release date anymore?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

This project has been mired in so much bullshit it's not even funny.

I hope it turns out great, but I am fearful it won't.

It's Blizzard. If the game sucks they won't release it.

This game will be fun as hell, just wait.

I don't care who it's from. I'm a seeing is believing type of guy.

 

[suaveric]

Push it to next gen already! Who are they kidding with this?

 

[Gorgie]

I trust Swinging Ape to make fun games. Not writing off this title yet.

 

[crunker99]

There is an Xbox360 verison these are probably from the consoles versions from this gen

 

[Hyoushi]

As per usual, Bootsguy approves of this thread.

 

[Zensetsu]

What the hell? Look at the first marine model....head and legs are retarded. Bad art. Especially considdering the material they had to draw from (starcraft concept art, etc).

 

[olimario]

As per usual, Bootsguy approves of this thread.

:lol :lol :lol
Worst character model EVER

 

[Dr_Cogent]

As per usual, Bootsguy approves of this thread.

OMG that is horrible.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

why are these screens being posted? W H Y ?

 

[haunts]

Its good to see developers really pushing the limits of the nintendo DS.

 

[Mayor McCheese]

Snack machines are this generation's crates.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Yeah it seems that Swinging Ape totally re-did the engine for the game. I'm not sure if they actually did, but it looks it. Anyway, I have a lot of respect for Blizzard and I really think they won't release it until it's great. I mean come on they threw the last developer of it because they weren't up to par, so I have faith.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I remember not long ago seeing film of this game on Cinematech of an older build...honestly, I don't think this game has ever looked that great. Hopefully the gameplay has gone somewhere good now, but I think given the problems that this title has ridden the coattails of its totally different and far superior PC dad.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

=*(

So sad. Hope it does well enough for a nextgen sequel. First thing they'll need to do is ditch the art director.

 

[Doc Savage]

Holy Crap!!!! This is bad, I have no idea what is going on over at Blizzard and Swinging Ape but this game looks like shit.

 

[chespace]

Metal Arms looks better than this game.

 

[∀ Narayan]

They should really just bring this to next-gen consoles and put everything on UE3. I don't really care if it gets delayed again, I was expecting this game 2 years ago.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Heh, looks like a Half-Life mod now. Or something from the Quake engine. What the hell is going on with this game? It had such promise...

 

[Mallrat83]

+

[Kobold]

This is the PSP version I believe...(not). Looks like crap, they better have some strangely addictive/brilliant/good gameplay going on to warrant playing a game with those eye-searing Playstation 1-style graphics.

 

[svenuce]

Yeah it seems that Swinging Ape totally re-did the engine for the game.

If you mean practically restarted using its own Fang engine, then yes.

 

[vatstep]

Mini-Bootsguy is about to get stealth-fucked.

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

........That model is absolutely terrible. Christ. They have to be pushing upwards of 200 polygons per model now!

This is extremely disappointing though. I'm a huge SC fan, and the last "build" or version or whatever of this game looked VERY good, graphically..

We may still get a very fun game, but now it's a very fun game that looks like crap. I'd prefer a very fun game that looks awesome, thanks!

 

[Oxymoron]

Looks like Blizzard is moving Ghost to Xbox 360.

 

[mckmas8808]

Damn dem some big ass boots!! [/Dave Chappell voice]

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I was excited about this game when it was first announced. By the time they changed development teams, I was down to mildly interested, but changing teams is never a good sign. With these recent screen shots, I just don't care any more.

 

[ShowDog]

At least it might be fun. The old game looked bad and had a bad framerate and terrible controls etc etc

Hasn't this game changed hands at least twice now?

 

[Unison]

The old devs must have fucked Blizzard's wife or something if this is what the new guys are getting away with. :lol

 

[Sinatar]

As bad as it looks, keep in mind that it isn't coming out till late 2006 at the earliest.

 

[GhaleonEB]

WHAT HAPPEN

 

[tedtropy]

Time to upgrade that Riva 128!

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Trust me, the game plays so much better now that Swingin' Ape is involved. Maybe they'll tighten up the visuals later.

 

[teruterubozu]

So I'm guessing another year or two?

Talk about late to the fucking party, man.

 

[Helznicht]

Really? on what, the PS3? Whats the point then? Guess Blizz has money to burn considering thier WoW success.......

Maybe if were lucky it will be forward compatible with the 360, and get a resolution boost at least.

 

[Excelion]

I think Warcraft Adventures looked better.

 

[haunts]

Just give us StarCraft2 and stop fuckin around with this game.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Derp!

 

[Razoric]

IIRC there are two huge Blizzard teams unaccounted for. One of which is most likely working on D3 (formerly Blizzard North) and the RTS team who, a little while back, hired a lot of the old Westwood (Red Alert) people.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Westwood rocks/ed !! Blade Runner is awesome.

 

[Teddman]

It's a blast to play and for some reason it looks worse in the direct-grab screenshots that have been released lately than it did at E3. I didn't hear anyone bemoan the graphics at the show. Sure they're not this generation's best, but they're not the eyesore they're being made out to be here either.

Check out some of the video clips in this StarCraft: Ghost preview to get an idea of what the game looks like in a normal play environment.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Really? I never finished that game. I didn't care for it.

 

[Razoric]

HERE IS A PICTURE FROM E3 NOW SHUSH!

cool video too:
