What the hell does Koei doing? Its graphic is even worse than KUFTC on Xbox. Also, considering its trailer, fun of epic battle is nowhere to be found like Dynasty Warriors was. Like Total War series does, epic battle should have tactical and refreshing fun, but this one does not.

faces look great. hdr looks good. the rest needs a lot of work. i dont think i see any normal mapping. thats not good at all. kameo had thousands of guys on screen and looked better thanks to normal mapping.

Looks like crap.

These pics are PS3's photo.
But I think Koei has a lot of work to do because Night Nine Nights is better than this.

Ouch, thats all i can think of to say to this.

I am fantastically unimpressed. The graphics are certainly more impressive that what the last generation afforded, but both the XBox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 are capable of much more.

After KOEI's bullshot Guan-Yu presentation in 2005, you'd think that they would at least have pride and salvage some honor by trying a little harder...

looks better than the previous batch of pics

wtf, i want a next-gen hack ans slash game BUHU!

nothing special, graph sucks for me, the only good thing i can say about the babe :P she is pretty nice :P dont u think ? :]

LMFAO amazing gfx man.......

Snoopers dont you mean "arn't really helping"? :)
They realised they're game was gonna suck so they multi platformed it. lol

To be fair, i kinda like the direction they are going artwise. But yeah, this is heaps and leaps below N3 tech wise. Seems like the only nextgen buzzwords I can mention from those screens are focalblurring and blooming. And blooming was even used to a great extent in last gen. There are no HDR lighting in this game - at least not yet. And no normalmapping either wich probably means the rest of the shader tech Koei uses are fairly lowtech also (hard to see from stills).

That said I do like the characters and with a few tech updates I'm pretty sure it would look pretty good.

WTF is THAT!... leave it on the ps3 we dont want it.

PARALLAX MAPPING. Also, a game doesn't necessarily need them to look good.

Art style is nice, could do with a few more polygons though and much better textures, no excuse.

Does anyone else think this was a PS2 game which was changed to PS3/360 at the last minute ?

what you mean changed .... it still is.

screenshots scream PS2

Craptacular!!!!!

It's really not as bad as some of you are making out, i can see the good and bad in all screens.

And lets face it even if it was the best looking game around would many of you even contemplate buying it ?

Didn't think so :)

koei is the worst developer ever

99% of japanese devs dont know how to use the power of next gen consoles but i am sure this game will sell like hot cakes on ps3 just coz its on ps3....probably will beat Blue Dragon in sales aswell

Wierd, why didn't they just make it for PS2, they probably make more of their money back.

Xbox360 owners don't care about this game
Not enough PS3 owners to make a dent in sales and I doubt that many ps3 owners would care either

100 Million PS2 owners, if even 0.5% of those ps2 owners give a Sh&^T about this game then Koei is in the green

You can really see the UNLIMITED power of the PS3. I mean, those hexagonal arms alone will sell this game to the masses.

seeing as its on the 360 as well wouldn't it be showing off the incredible power of the 360 as well??? "we've already seen better stuff on the 360 to know its better than that!!!". we already have on the PS3 as well.

that having been said, honestly the only person who could think that those scream PS2 would have to be someone who has no ps2 and has never played or seen a ps2 game. or your just being a rabid nonsensical hater (the more likely answer). by no means is it the greatest looking game (but then again Koei's never been the most visually impressive of the japanese developers), but those being PS2 graphics?? hardly.

Its not about the power of the PS3 at all, its about talentless developers STILL NOT BEING TALENTED in next-gen. Emotion engines, reality synthesizers, networked PS3's reaching self-awareness like skynet and crying robot babies dont make games, developers do.

The more crappy and last-gen looking games released on the PS3 the better. It will take a mountain of crap to reach the solid gold pillar of hype that the PS3 sits on in the minds of fanboys and average consumers alike.

Welcome to the game. Still waiting on the European release to break the wall of BS over here too.
