It was a long time since we heard about Bioshock. It's now done, since Irrational's FPS comes back with some new images, as 2K Games organizes a screenshot contest. The game looks as great as ever.
quite ugly in screenshots, but in motion this game is full of little touches that make it look great, chronicles of riddick was the same, so many little touches in game mechanics and graphics (although it also had amazing graphics for the lowly xbox)
They rely too much on the lighting and normal maps it seems. It's like the huge visual difference between Saints Row if you move your character into the shadows and then in front of a bright light source, massive difference in apparent detail.
I can't really comment on the screenshots since I prefer to watch things in full motion before passing judgement, but in terms of the enemy you fight they seem more human than anything else. From the previous screenshots to these current ones all the enemies were just deranged looking clowns. Not to say you can't have crazies in this game just that i don't really see where's the "bio" in bioshock.
I always thought it looked a little "plastic". The movies we saw looked a lot better with the lighting and all, but still the characters, except for the big daddy's, are not that appealing.
I think the reason these look worse is because they were probably taken by the person doing the competition at 2k, they might be using their own PC, and had to run it at meduim settings.
Yeah... Well I sort of have to agree with some earlier poster (on other Bioshock related news) that the 'art direction' is going downhill characterwise. Big daddys looked great (and still do) when the first footage started coming out, but now all we're seeing is blue clowns and mental patients and other poorly done, weird mutants.
No comments on the graphics otherwise - it's in development and it'll probably look great when finished anyway. And yes... there still the actual content :)
Wow, MASSIVE downgrade. I really don't understand it -- that year-old, 15-minute walkthrough was obviously real-time and appeared to be running on the 360 (the HUD had 360 button mappings), and looked incredible. This looks worse than Condemned.
