I pray this isn't a launch title.

Possibly. So far the only nice looking EA game i've seen on either handheld is Tiger Woods on the PSP which looks really nice.
The problem is that, rather than making a title too match the DS, they seem to have simply downgraded the console versions.
The console versions' graphical highlights are its character models and other details; the GBA games focuses on a more cartoony sense of style, while this is simply trying too hard to be the console game, and the graphics suffer. Greatly.

My penis is still intact.
If there's anyone reading this who actually had access to whoever the fuck it is at IGN who puts these screens up, PLEASE tell him to make them actual DS size.
It's just fucking retarded not doing and helps absolutely no one.
As for this game...complete shit. As many others have said, the GBA game does indeed look better. Yey for EA's rushing games to launch policy!

A lot depends on the team. The GBA Tiger Woods games were outsourced for example.

PSP is higher on the priority list... although you're probably right. The most you can hope for is probably a smoother framerate.

I haven't seen any ingame ones either, although thankfully it does appear to be using the ingame engine. Really nice shadows and clouds n stuff.. basically everything these screens lack.

HAH HAH I love the thread title change.
Embarrasing that the GBA games look better. I like what they are trying to do with the DS game but damn the dev team really didn't give a shit.

I think Tiger Woods looks like crap on a PC (With settings maxxed out), so the fact the DS version isn't pushing the hardware is hardly surprising.
But leave it to EA to be their lazy ass self and use the buttons to swing with the second screen showing the f*cking gauges. EA: Ever hear of Golden Tee Golf? WTF. Golf is built for this device and they're too f*cking lazy to spend 5 minutes adjusting their engine. Good thing I think EA is the scourge of this industry or I'd be disappointed by this.

except that the one above features online play globally, NDS version locally.

Well, it goes without saying that this looks horrible.
PSP version looks OK, but much worse than Hot Shots Golf. As usual, EA games at launch are hardly something to judge hardware by.

Really... though I probably should've said upper level stuff (Sonic Advanture, PowerStone, Sega Rally 2, etc). Especially given how great Madden and SSX looked at PS2 launch, I expect more from EA... the DC Tee Off game from Bottom's Up doesn't look far off to be honest though, EA should be ashamed.dark10x said:
Marconelly said:
I thought SSX made a good impression...
The framerate was a bit bumpy, but it held 60 fps quite often (especially in trick mode). The modeling was fab, the lighting was lovely, and the courses were absolutely MASSIVE. PLUS, the game was not field rendered like so many others at the time. I thought it did a good job showcasing what we might expect down the line...
Madden was good looking as well. It looked better than the Dreamcast NFL2K1 and ran much smoother...
Sega Rally 2 wasn't a launch title in either region and the other two were not launch titles.
The JP DC launch had Sengoku Turb, Seventh Cross, VF3tb (all pictured above), and July (which was just an FMV-ish adventure). Sonic and SR2 came a bit later and Powerstone was in 1999...
US launch is different, but the Tiger Woods shot is pre-JP PSP launch AND isn't exactly a high profile title. If you look at the character model up close...
...I'd say it stands above your average DC title.
I said launch era... all 3 games came within 4 months of launch.dark10x said:
Sonic Adventure, PowerStone, GeistForce & HotD2's prerelease DC shots (running on incomplete DEV libraries/tools no less) still looked better. Tiger Woods has nice models marred by simple courses filled with chunky sprites. :/dark10x said:
I disagree, at least from larger developers like Sega or Capcom. Comparing EA to Bottom's Up is a little unfair to say the least.dark10x said:
I was saying that the character model is quite decent and beyond average DC stuff...
When I said "average", I actually meant it. Most "average" DC games had very poor, almost PSX-like character models...
The point is, I'm comparing a low-grade game to other low-grade games. I mean, that's like looking at the PS2 launch and comparing Eternal Ring to Soul Calibur or something...

Well, DC actually had a high percentage of PS1 ports.dark10x said:
I'd agree, looking over the entire library, this looks "above average" for a DC game... but it also looks "above average" for most PSP games seen so far. Hell, it looks better than the average PS2 game too... but it looks "below average" for EA without a doubt. :/
I dunno... I wouldn't exactly be so quick to call an EA game 'low grade'. If EA's 'low grade', then what's going to be 'high grade' on the platform? This isn't Majesco, Natsume or Empire here, it's EA. I expect better (and that goes for both PSP & DS, both platforms are clearly capable of much more).dark10x said:

Maybe EA is trying to sabotage the DS. PSP is starting to look more and more appealing all of a sudden.

Luckily, I'd probably never buy the Urbz, or for that matter, any of EA Sports titles for a portable system. I'd rather play that on the big screen. I have enough problems trying to find an open receiver without having to squint.

Looks like ASS.
It looks comparable to TeeOff, an early low budget game from a miniscule JP developer. :/Insertia said:It definitely doesn't look below DC launch quality as you implied earlier.
And there's no denying that it looks better then Tee Off.
I'm saying in both cases, EA should be doing better. I've got a feeling, as with GBA, it'll be up to JP developers mainly to show what DS & PSP are really capable of. Maybe I should reitierate that this is more a reflection on EA than PSP, before more borgs start hounding me?Insertia said:So you're saying Tiger Woods is at the top of the barrel in terms of graphics for the DS?
Yes? I'm generally happy with the other games I've seen on DS & PSP, even when they aren't that technologically advanced (Lumines, Ape Escape, Pac-Pix, etc). EA's DS/PSP projects are downright ugly so far, especially in comparison to other large publishers like Sega or Namco. :/kaching said:
