I hated the 1st 2 games because of the repetiveness. After the 1st level, its the same thing over and over and over. The character models in that picture dont look any different from the last game, but that explosion looks too good for me to believe. And knowing how they love showing pre-rendered stuff for COD games, Ill just assume it wont look this good.

Gonna stick with Brothers In Arms 2.

It's Brothers in Arms 3 buddy.

wow, you judge a game FROM ONE screenshot, geez, could you judge nintendogs from one screen shot ? can you judge halo before it came out ? could we judge resi 4? can we judge anything from one shot, no

come on guys give it a chance, me myself i think it looks fantastic and cant understand why you want to dis this game before you have played it

there games we are ment to be playing them for fun value, for a story, or just downright to shoot your mates with out getting arrested, why is the world turning into such graphic whores visuals are a massive part of a game yes, but there not it's soul

look at ff7 graphics to make you vomit blood even in it's day, but good god what a game

Just curious, what do you expect people to discuss about if they are confronted with nothing else but one screenshot?
How great the gameplay and animations are?
I agree that you shouldn't disregard this game just by this single screenshot, but all we can discuss here at this moment is what the screenshot looks like and maybe some speculation.
If that bothers you and you just want to read about how much fun this game will be, you shouldn't bother reading the comments here.

If you mean the E3 trailer, then your off when you called it an "in-engine teaser." That was so obviously pre-rendered, despite what anyone says or believes. Even if the developers said that it was running on the games engine themselves, they're bullshitting. I think its what they wanted the game to look like, but they wont accomplish that. Just like Killzone 2 for PS3, just like Madden for 360, and all those other games that showed CG bullshit and said the games would look that good, and dont nearly live up to it.

I don't really liked the presentation of the story in the Call Of Duty games; journal pages... that sucks. BIA had at least some awesome presentation.

Uh.... bullshit.

I can prove it's real with ease.
In fact, I've done so.... http://ccfx.net/nextboxforum/viewtopic.php?t=7911&...

In case you can't see that though, I'll just sum it up....

1. Clipping all over the place
2. No AF
3. A huge friggin seam in the middle of a wall

All of those are things that cannot happen in CG.

hey if you believe thats how the game will look then go ahead, but your gonna be disappointed. Its even clear to see that the screenshot above doesnt look nearly as good as that trailer. The texture detail is not as high, and theres none of the shadow effects from the trailer.

If you've seen the cutscenes in certain games, like Resident Evil 4, or Kameo, they look like the game but use enhanced gfx features that make it look better, like better shadowing and other types of things. I think thats what they did with the COD trailer.

That's quite possible.

But the fact of the matter is that it was NOT cgi.

as some one else said actually LOOK at the screen shot, please dont start this "killzone" argument, dont get me wrong i WANT it to to look like the demo, but the fact of the mater is it aint going to, i will be happy if it looks like cod2 because i thought that was amazing visualy.

LOLOLOLOLOL I was actually believing Immortal_Daemon before I saw the video.
The sounds the guy makes, and the way he fires the gun.... It all gives it away man, pure CGI. However the environment looks like real time, is it possible to overlap a CGI character to a level walk through?

hehe, snopers, why do you remove the picture again if it still remains in the thread thumbnail? ;-D

about the earlier COD3 movie (CGI or not, whatever)... the only thing that matters for me is that the scene in that movie wasn't actual gameplay. no way you can control your view in such a fast manner and with that small angle of view.

btw... why should clipping not occur in a CGI-movie??

the bia3 trailer seems to be ingame, but e.g. the scene where your comrad is shot and falling into your arms is scripted... or how would that be possible at any position in the game?? did i miss something?

well my first thoughts of that video where that is was pre rendered. Having said that clipping is unusual in cgi. I mean im not saying clipping is impossible, since the people who rendered this cgi could have easily made a mistake. Also in that forum that Immortal Daemon linked to, a good point is made that activision did get told not to show pre rendered trailers anymore. I reckon that ingame elements like that are possible in this generation, however I believe cod3 will not look like that. There is a difference between running on the ingame engine and running on the ingame engine with all the overheads implemented. Such as game code and AI.

Come on, he was just pointing out how some people were making decisions not to buy the game after one screen shot. We just need to wait a little longer.
