Game looks great. As I keep telling people, there should be no arguing that games can look close to looking as good as their target renders. The problem is when you pass off renders as gameplay. Always been Sony's biggest fallacy. The only difference is the way they presented the Cell chip, people believed it to be way more convincingly than its predecessors.

As I was saying, game looks great. Solid launch title by the look of things. If they can get a few more of their games looking good like this, Sony fans should be happy this November.

The only thing I saw that was somewhat interesting were the trucks crashing into each other. The environments are lacking, and, yes, I think they're using blur to hide the horrible textures. Just look at the moutain:

It clearly shows the bad textures. And the physics? Well, it can be easily done in HL2 with Havok, agian, I just don't see the big deal with it. And, I find it laughable when people on NeoGaf said this can't be done on 360. lol

Also, sure, this perspective makes it look better, but what about when you're playing it? You won't get the same camera angles I bet. You'll just get those typical racing cameras where you either zoom in, zoom out, etc. Just like PGR or something. And, wheres the HUD? Show GAMEPLAY footage with HUD(people want to see people playing it), not some video with different camera angles. Games tend to look better in replay modes, and this is what it looks like, a replay mode.

Everything you saw in that trailer specifically the hood point of view is actual gameplay.

The textures are unimpressive and they are trying their best to hide it you are definetly right about that one. The upclose hood view as can be expected gives a sense of nice chaotic gameplay. The outside view gives the game a rather dull look.

Well I dont believe it, because it looks a hell of a lot different from the vids we saw a few months ago.

Well I have some good news for you shawn :D

http://www.ps4focus.nl/sitee/nieuws/bekijk.php?id=... <--Here it is during actual gameplay from that exact point of view.

I still would never pay money for this game, but it looks a lot better from this point of view.

They need to show a different track, that one is looking pretty dull.

It doesn't represent the final camera angles in the game WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING IT. GAMEPLAY vs. REPLAY= totally two different things.

And, this game just looks unimpressive compared to PGR3 or some other game. Just wait for Sega to release their rally game, then you'll actually see nice visuals. Hell, wait till Forza 2.:p

I'm not talking about all the crazy angles, but the most impressive stuff in that video showing the close up view of when mud was being kicked up against your vehicle was gameplay as you are playing it.

Oh of course I expect Forza 2 to mop the floor with this ;) We'll see how well Sega does with their rally game.. this is a sony funded project to my knowledge so we'll see how much money sega throws behind their rally game.

Lots of naysayers, but that's to be expected here. I think it looks pretty great for a launch game--obviously quite a bit off the E3 05 CG presentation, but that's also above my expectations. Don't get me wrong--I'm not exactly floored by it either--but it's shaping up to be one of the better PS3 launch titles and trumps many of the X360 launch games..personally I think PGR3 is quite a bit better looking, if we were to start making comparisons..but it's also doing less.

The PS3 launch isn't shaping up to be the most impressive launch line up ever--but the 360's launch wasn't perfect either..this, in my opinion..is one of the more enjoyable looking titles. I'd have to see what else actually makes launch, but nothings really grabbing my attention until next year it seems. Nothings coming close to the Dreamcast launch, from my perspective.

But there's obviously a lot of negativity around these parts when dealing with this subject..I wonder--do the people who criticize a title beyond reason actually believe they have an objective opinion?

The hate is strong.

2006-07-23 05:18:40

Not interested in anything the ps3 launch has to offer (to be honest if I were to buy a 360 now I wouldn't purchase some of the games I have now) Kameo, PDZ, CoD2 are the only ones I wouldn't have purchased.

The rest I'm very happy to own like DOA4, Fight Night, Ghost Recon, Elder Scrolls I'd buy in a heartbeat.

Well, first of all that's WAY OFF of the supposed real time e3 trailer in E3 2005. The stupid devs went as far as to say "that's ps3 right there"--I'm willing to bet they signed an agreement with sony to not say it was just CG.

Now, I knew from the time I saw the video that it wasn't going to be achieved, not this generation, and I still think that. But seriously now, taking it for what it is, what it actually is, it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

The graphics are pretty good. The terrain deformation and the vehicle detail I think is pretty high. Yes, the mountains on the side don't look very good, and then there's no vegetation or anything to the environment--it is a desert after all. Another thing is the track is VERY small as I've seen from a REAL gameplay video, so what I'm trying to say is that we need to see if all the tracks will be that small and if they all are in the desert with absolutely nothing but sand/mud.

Another thing I don't like at all, and this is very important, is the gameplay. What is this? The trailer makes it look much better than what it actually is. The real gameplay is SLOW and basically, since the track is so small, it gets monotonous in about 1 minute. It also seemed to me like no skill was necessary to play this. And then physics. With TEH POWAH oF TeH C3LL, we should be seeing a whole lot more physics on the cars. The suspension still is very unrealistic, suspension should ALWAYS be moving in that kind of terrain.

From what we've seen, it's just a passable driving game, and that's my honest opinion.

Maybe I'm crazy LEBATO, but when did game developers become God? Just out curiosity, not in question of your opinion, but have you seen one game that does what this game is trying to do better?

And a shit framerate--and--frankly--there's no way to tell from this little ass clip of a pre-release game that Full Auto has better physics.

Ironically, as a rental, I actually enjoyed Full Auto.

I can agree on that, but 360's launch is just pretty much behind it. :p

must admit the "hood" view looks good on that video....but the "chase cam" view ....WTF the buggy looks like its floating on the sand rather than driving through the sand.
and i hate that weird blur they are using ...if the futuer of the ps3 is true hd gameplay(irony) why do the add a blur that makes it look like they have smeared vasoline over the monitor screen ;) ?

good but nothing the 360 couldnt do.

(and is it just me does the game play look a bit ..well ..erm dull?)

2006-07-23 15:03:06

Compressed down the trailer looks pretty good, when you see it at native resolution you realise that they have made some big visual sacrifices to achieve the physical interactions. Low-poly vehicles, low-res textures and the environment looks terrible. I'm sure it will look a little better when it's done though.

2006-07-23 20:02:59 In reply to Phaethon360 (2006-07-23 08:10:59)

Oh, so I'm asking for god-like stuff according to you? I have not seen a game that does what Fight Night 3 does better, not yet, but I know it can be done a whole lot better.

The cars move like a last generation game, that's the point. Watch the real gameplay video and to the end, watch how ridiculous it looks from the chase cam.
