Oh I KNOW you're not talking shit about EDF 2017, are you?!
Game is one of the only examples where quantity is actually better than quality.
I was going to come in here and post MIB after just watching the quick look :lol
Shadow of the Colossus is graphically just a good-looking PS2 game, disappointing after all the hype. Ico looked even worse

Yes, they couldn't port a 10 year old game to current gen hardware. Konami....
We got all the source code that Konami had on file -- which it turns out wasn't the final release version of the games! D'oh!" says Huelett, "So during debug we didn't just have to deal with the expected 'porting' bugs, but also had to squash some bugs that the original team obviously removed prior to release, but we'd never seen before. A lot of assets such as textures and sound had to be taken out of the compiled game, and that brings with it a host of unique issues, especially taken on top of the tricky coding workarounds at play in the original games. We certainly had our hands full. I think at one point [Silent Hill 3 protagonist] Heather was blue."
Alright...I'm ready to be torn apart. As some of you may know, I'm not the biggest fan of Portal 2, but god damn those textures...so awful. I mean the artstyle is god damn gorgeous, but those textures are just so outdated for a 2011 game.
Even on PC with highest settings the textures still look like garbage, but I guess the artstyle basically saves it.

This thread cound not be closed without mentioning the action stars of this generation, the makers of Lost Planet 3, possibly Star Wars Battlefront 3 and of course, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

There was a really great article about HD ports on Game Informer recently and they had something to say that might interest you:

It holds up better in motion. I thought the particle effects in EDF 2017 were actually really well done and the enemy counts are insane. The physics are also hilarious. The spin-off actually looks worse in many ways.That brutal Earth Defense Force game is the worst I've seen in person.
Doesn't Portal 2 use more or less the same engine as the original?

Oh fuck, I had happily forgotten about this trash.
That MIB gif is going to haunt me all night. How unbelievably embarrassing... You must care just so very, very little about your job and have literally no pride to create something like that. Whoever is responsible for this game should simply apologize and leave the industry.

Yeah that is what was speculated in. But he and everyone behind it, should be ashamed of releasing it in that state. Not just graphics but the constant frame rate drops and what not... Yeah, should probably just have dropped it or gotten a developer who knew what they were doing, can't expect a team who's biggest games is frogger to recreate anything from silent hill 2 and 3.
"There are a ton of details in the textures of SH2 and 3 that are impossible to see on the console originals"
Is bullshit though. 1080p on pc and you can see all that stuff. Looks fine without re doing any of it. No need to try and enhance it, especially when it's a incompetent developer.

I agree, especially on a movie tie-in like this. Now it seems to be a downward spiral.. movie tie-in games make less money (because they suck), so the studios cut the budgets way down, which makes them suck even more, thus making less money, so they cut the budgets... ad infinitum.Don't assume it's entirely the fault of the people who made the game. People gotta work, and for myriad reasons, work conditions aren't always the most conducive to producing high quality software.

GOD DAMN. Johansson should sue over this likeness.
What likeness?
The likeness of the botched plastic surgery victim that a blind person could mistake for her.
GOD DAMN. Johansson should sue over this likeness.
Definitely not up there.
It was a rather nice looking game imo and the game has incredible drawing distance.

If Deadly Premonition is anywhere near as fun as its cutscenes are hilariously awful, I may have to check it out.

All their games use an updated source engine. Their games actually look pretty good for how old that engine is.You know I'm not sure. I know its the Source Engine (which needs an update badly, unless CS:GO uses an updated one).
