Activision knows how to harness the power of 360!!!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[Fatghost]

That's for the original Xbox. Or PS2 even. Right? RIGHT??

 

[RoH]

go 360 you can do it....

 

[human5892]

Suddenly, PD0 looks a lot better.

 

[Wario64]

like i've said before, i dont expect much from next gen titles that are multiplatform with current gen consoles

 

[IJoel]

I hope this tanks HARD, REALLY HARD.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Hasn't a GAFFER who is friends with an Activision developer already said that this along with Tony Hawk are bottom-feeding ports with barely a resolution upgrade?

But please, continue to act surprised by Hacktivision and these screens.

 

[Pimpwerx]

The 360 should spit this DVD out as soon as you put it in. Just embarassing really. PEACE.

 

[zork007]

Where does it say that those are specifically 360 screenshits, the site says 360/XBOX/PS2/PC

 

[Helznicht]

Graphically Dissapointing... But you at least got to Give credit to Activision for trying something new and risky with as much content and scope.

At least it looks better that current gen games with similar openness and scope (GTA, True Crime).

I know I'll at least rent it.

widescreen resolution screenshots

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

If this is indictive of what comes out at launch, this shit sits on the shelf.

 

[Ultra Magnanimous]

They have to be Xbox or PS2 screens surely.

Edit:

widescreen resolution screenshots

Good point. :/

 

[radioheadrule83]

Its obviously not pushing 360... BUT the game sounds good. And if you were getting a 360 anyway, would you honestly buy any other version over this one?

 

[DopeyFish]

Edit:



Good point. :/

Xbox has native widescreen support (though not mandatory like 360)

 

[Rhindle]

They aren't THAT bad. Much nicer than expected, actually.

If these could be mistaken for PS2/Xbox shots, I would like someone to point me to the amazing PS2/Xbox games I must have missed out on.

 

[Ultra Magnanimous]

True. Ok, heres hoping.

 

[IJoel]

If the game IS great and it costs the same as an Xbox/PS2 game, then it's definitely worth getting for Xbox 360 IF it costs the same.

I just think it's a pity there's absolutely no upgrades to the graphics with the exception being resolution and the 'free' AA.

:S

Now theres a challenge!

 

[Wario64]

we need some comparison shots:

I want know since when the devs of a xbox "1" game release screenshots in widescreen format

i played GUN on ps2 - and yes it looks like on the screen (only without the uber perfect AA and the missing 16:9 screenmode).

if thats all, what next gen (ie. xbox360) can do, i will be happy with this gen!

 

[∀ Narayan]

I've sort of grown an immunity to crappy screen shots for the X360. As long as the game is fun, well, I'm fine.

[MetalAlien]

widescreen resolution screenshots

What MS forget to tell you is that all but 64 megs of the 512 is set aside for the XB360 online shopping.

 

[jet1911]

Maybe the game will be good. :/

 

[Amadeus]

I want know since when the devs of a xbox "1" game release screenshots in widescreen format

could probably be PSP-shots

 

[krypt0nian]

I'm a sucker for the subject matter so I may as well get the 360 version.

 

[FightyF]

Activision? More like Actiblind! lolamirite?

 

[FiRez]

Ok, I forgot about TN games but is the minority. the point is that I don't remember that Activision releases screenshots in that format

 

[FiRez]

Are you serious? :lol

 

[Malakhov]

You people need to realise that some developers use their ps2 or xbox version for the xbox 360 version and all they do is put up a higher res. I know this from first hand.

 

[human5892]

I think most people in the thread do realize that, though. The explanation doesn't make the game look any better.

 

[Malakhov]

The game SHOULDNT look better. It's the same textures and graphics, just a higher res.

King kong ps2:

King Kong 360:

Same graphics, same textures, only a higher res.

 

[DCX]

Ninja Gaiden and Panzer Dragoon Orta are two of the most notable...

[drohne]

360 is getting the dreamcast treatment from some of these devs. :/ ms shouldn't even allow lazy ports from current-gen systems. i'm sure sony won't.

 

[human5892]

The game SHOULDNT look better. It's the same textures and graphics, just a higher res.

Yes, I know. I think we all get that. But that doesn't mean it's any less disappointing that even a relatively big developer like Activision is just porting last-gen code over. Considering the 360's capabilities, it should look better.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

I think most people in the thread do realize that, though. The explanation doesn't make the game look any better.

We aren't reading the same thread then. If so many people understand, why take shots at the 360? As if it's the systems fault developers are doing half-assed (i'm being kind here) ports.

 

[human5892]

Who's taking shots? Only RoH's and MetalAlien's posts could be construed that way, and they're in a light enough tone that they're clearly joking. Nobody here is saying that this game is maxing out the 360 or whatever. What we are saying is that it looks, for next-gen, bad. Which it does.

 

[DCX]

By the way, if 360 screens this is awful. Reminds me of all the PSX ports to Dreamcast, almost nothing but resolution changes.

Same graphics, same textures, only a higher res.

Except this is not the 360 version. No idea where IGN got these screens (PC version ?), but Michel Ancel told us the other day that the 360 version of King Kong would get a big graphics upgrade to make it look as close as possible to the movie.
NO screenshots of the Xbox 360 have been released so far.
There won't be any gameplay changes, but at least it won't be a lazy port like these awful screenshots. And yes someone from Activision (or close to someone there) confirmed that both TH:AW and GUN would get this treatment. Don't expect anything from Neversoft, and I guess you won't be disapointed.

 

[masud]

Just 400$ dollars folks and it's all yours. :lol

 

[Malakhov]

Blimblim: It's crap, let's say I live in Montreal, let's say UBI is in Montreal, let's leave it at that

 

[.hacked]

Gun won't be a looker but it is going to rock.

 

[Blimblim]

Blimblim: It's crap, let's say I live in Montreal, let's say UBI is in Montreal, let's leave it at that

I'm not doubting you, but Michel Ancel is not the type of dev I'd expect to lie, especially in front of dozens of game journalists like the other day in Leipzig.

 

[Malakhov]

The version I saw had nothing new graphics wise and I highly doubt they'd change something at this point. I'll try to find more about it, I'll ask Tuesday.

 

[jett]

I'll be playing Red Dead Revolver 2 next-gen, thank you very much.

I was about to say, no 360 King Kong media has been released. Activision ought to be ashamed of themselves

I don't remember exactly what he told, but it was something like the graphics would get upgraded at the end of the development cycle or something. I'll ask Kobold who was there with me if he remembers.
