Here are quite a few new images of Frame City Killer, and after seeing this and Love Football I'm starting to wonder if Namco is really serious about Xbox 360...
So BlimBlim, I see you also agree that Namco may be mocking the Xbox360 with its two poor excuses for next gen games. There is no way that this game was meant for HD televisions. You could play this game 30 feet away from the monitor and would probably still see all of its flaws. Namco isn't supporting the 360. They're just using the 360 by waiting and seeing. Namco is seriously over-rated.
I took another look at these pics and I tried to give this game a chance, but I have to face it; this looks sad. I smell conspiracy. No way are they expecting this game to sell well. Maybe it will be downloadable for Live Arcade. I'm not being sarcastic either.
Someone please tell me that those are not the vehicle models. Someone please tell me that those car tires aren't hex-shaped. Someone please take my gun away from me before I do something awful..........................
The damn thing looks worse than what they had at E3. You have to admit though, it takes talent to make such a beautiful game engine (Unreal engine 3)look like complete shit.
I think this is going to get my ASSTASTIC!! game of the year award.
actualy i take that back, the textures, the models, the environments are ALL place holders. you see, namco can do much better than this. there games are usualy the top of the technical line. they are very good at making games. they have made tons of great games. there was pacman. galaxian, pole position, and ... umm ,,, and ... umm ... GOD DAMN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE!
The Soul Caliber series is probably the only real 'cutting edge' games Namco has made in recent memory regarding visual effects. Katamari Damacy and Ridge Racer are fun but nothing special to look at.
A few months ago I had faith that namco would have the graphics drastically changed, especially since the first shots we ever saw were probably from an alpha build. I thought there's no way the unreal engine could spew out this rubbish.... but half a year later, here they are, still looking awful... I was kind of looking forward to the game aswell. :(
This is F'n ridiculous!!!!
WTF is Namco's problem?! Did they forget how to make games look good?
I mean RR6 is their best looking 360 game and that is saying alot, all bad.
I call sabotage.
They are trying to destroy the 360's credibility, Namco are Sony spies.
Well, to be fair to Namco, Ridge Racer 6 is plenty good looking on an HD set. It's minimalistic, sure, but any other look wouldn't be RR. This game, however, has shaken off even MY wait-and-see attitude I used to carry. I'm 100% sure it'll look BETTER running on our tellies despite the tale screens tell, (Amped 3 looks ace) but it's just not a pretty game, art direction wise nor technically.
And really, HD is a fairly sure fire way of making anything look good as long as the texture work is sharp. It's sort of like co-op and multiplayer for FPS games.

Oh common these models are placeholders.. namco is actually being very smart to use these terrible models. Its a huge game and they are probably working on the style and physics. No need for huge textures and etail there.. Its just not good they brought out these pictures allready. The world is going to be huge with lots of things going on.. do you guys really thinks it's smart to use the super detalied models while programming and stuff in a huge world with lots of thins going on? please...
The E3 trailer looked much better, what the hell have they done? I can't believe this is Unreal Engine 3.... look at Gears of War, UT2007, Huxley....This is just pathetic!!!

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)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
