Hmm the fact you state games starvation on PS3 is a fact that you are not a fan of the machine and just using this to flame what could be a fantastic game for the sake you think it will put people of the PS3 , that is my assumption
And as stated there is much more to gaming than visuals, if this was not true, WoW would not be played by 9 million people...including me.
I know when it comes to momments like this all we can judge is the visuals but you have to look past that and try and see what there aiming for here, i am excited for it and cant wait :D
You wrong - I have PS3, and there is a two inches dust cover on it - no games I would like to play in. Only Ratchet is true game for me at the moment.
WoW rulez, but you play with people, can speak with them, be a part of the team etc. Plus great world, virtual world - for the sake of that the graphics is not important.
But in action game, without epic story, live allies and so on, the graphics is the very essentail - new graphical techologies firstly use in action game, and then in another genres.
But ...this is not a action game... this is not fear
Also must say that graphics are not essential, the "fun" factor is and the "playability" is, graphics come last in my mind, and hopefully in many other gamers minds, because if it was all about visuals, we would just watch movies.
Really, if it is not, what is it? Adventure? Survival Horror?
For example, game mechanics in Riddick is very similar to Condemned. The Riddick is not an action either?
Yeah, but large amount of action in it, permits to classify it as action. -)
OK, Condemned is survival horror/adventure/csi - anyway, good visuals assist player in-game atmosphere dip.
For example, in RPG dialogues, storyline and role-playing do that, but in such mix as Condemned - only visuals, especially for horror - shadows, pure light, enemies - how will you reproduce dark subway station atmosphere, with ugly beast hiding in shadows without modern visuals - write on screen "Scaring station, something is hiding over there"(arrow)? -))
dburt, just because you bought a Ps3 doesn't mean PS3 gamers is in starvation.
I know ALOT of people who is playing Warhawk like a religion, my sister is one of them, cant get her away from it (damn you).
The fact that there is alot of PS3 owners that are proud of what they owned, they will get whatever games that is multi or exclusive it comes, just like the 360.
Appearently, you bought the PS3 for some dumb reason and maybe too early.
Lets not forget that Ps3 just came out while 360 is on the second year, so what do you expect.
I am not gonna go off topic so I am not gonna talk about this anymore, we know where this is headed.
PS. Condemned is a action/survival game in horror theme.
Anyway. If you play Condemned without firearms, it sure doesn't feel like much of an action game. I wouldn't call Riddick an FPS in that sense either.. even though it obviously has some FPS mechanics.
Wow I'm glad to see this on ps3 , but I'm still going to be picking this one up on 360. The first was such a great game and in my opinion graphically it just kept getting better and better , the same can be said for the gameplay.
Good pacing all around, So far Splinter Cell DA and Condemned 1 are my favorite games this generation.

double agent? are you shitting me? its the worst of the series, such a half step. now double agent on the original xbox, THAT is a good game.
These grabs are desperately trying to hide the low texture resolutions and lowpoly geometry. They need to put this engine out of its misery.
I've just been playing BioShock after having cheapskated the full version only now and BOY is that game beautiful on a VGA cable and 40" LCD. This game will most likely look like ass and run like poo. At least the first Condemned looked decent while running like poo so its a definite stepdown.

Unless I'm reading the calendar wrong its almost the 11th month of the first full calendar year of the PS3's existence. The PS3 was launched in the USA on November 17th. A full year will be up in 18 days. It did not "just" come out.
Of course the 360 is a year ahead of it but still, Sony is running out of excuses.

console came out march here. hence not a full year. maybe in yankville, but over here the ps3 is still a baby.
From where I'm standing, theese pictures are indeed screengrabs instead of "proper" screenshots. And that's the problem. These grabs are poorly executed. I believe that it actually looks good. And from the visual aspect, it's still early days, since the release isn't near. As always, the graphics are showing their real form only near the release date. That's why I dont understand "looks like shit" -comments, when the game is nowhere near finished. The only thing that I was pondering, is, that it's poor publicity to send poorly taken grabs.
From the gameplay point of view, I'm really looking forward to the more open approach to the crime scene investigation. That was the single most dissapointing part in the original game. It was pure holding the gamer in the hand and telling what to do. No interest in that.
When you combine the strong foundation from the original in terms of story, atmosphere and fighting, spice it up with more refined fighting system and investigation system that has been opened up, and we'll have a killer title on our hands. Monolith, don't make me eat my words. Pretty messy please..

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
