First "Larrabee" Project Offset screenshot according to Intel

Edit: hmmm and according to Intel, this is what the competition's able to achieve right now:
So, next gen: People will have more HP and won't be killed by dragons as easily?
Because I might be blind (-5.5 contacts!), but those screens looks pretty much the same, to me. At best, looks like a GCN > Wii jump.
"Hey guys, let's release an overly blurry screenshot with some neat haze, smoke, lighting and object based blur effects slapped onto it so it almost looks like a CG shot with no apparent graphical shortcomings to the untrained eye and make everyone go "ohhh" and "aaahh"!
Meanwhile, release the same shot without all the neat effects slapped on, photoshop some people out, as well as all the object based shadows and claim that's all current hardware is able to handle! Actually, that's what the original screenshot looked like before we smothered it will effects..."

There was some conference in the last few days where Intel showed a few LRB die shots and they showed up online as photos of the slides during presentation. Could these be photos too, hence the low image quality? Given what Offset were achieving a few years ago something like this should be possible these days. The Intel vs competition thing, though, is... well, whatever.

Well, in a way Project Offset is like nibris.. showing stuff like this.. we worried if minecarts start to appear on screenshots..

That's so BS-ey and fuddy on their part.
The game looks really good. But it's hard to say how much of that is hardware and how much of it is the guys working on the game. Of course, wise of Intel to use such talented folks to show off their hardware, but it doesn't tell us much about apples-for-apples comparisons with other chips. I'd wonder if you put the same guys working exclusively on nvidia's latest or amd's latest (or, moreover, their 2010 chips), if they wouldn't do something similarly spectacular.

I'm sorry but what I see is a blurred to death fantasy painting.
I don't know how I could be wowed by this until I see it in movement. I mean at least CG renders are attractive...

I like seeing the Ps3 and 360 fans feeling insecure......:lol ....graphic whoreness indeed.......hoping for more info.....
I think this is literally just a piece of concept artwork that's supposed to show what graphical features Larrabee can handle versus what graphics features the competition can supposed handle.
I think they just used paintings instead of actually showing off parts from their engine. There's nothing in the article that seems to indicate these are screenshots either, rather than representative drawings.

Larrabee is the first GPU that renders blurry concept art in real time :O

Those 2 picture comparison is equivalent to those paper towel/toilet paper comparison commercials.

Hello bullshot,

why are you doing this to them

I'm just not digging the blurriness and their cooked comparison one bit, puts me off to this.
Release a proper 1920x1200 screenshot without any blur (and no, that's not motion blur), and drop the BS comparison "this is what our competition can do" crap, and maybe they'd have a better response.

I really wish Project Offset wasn't bought up to be used as some show horse for Larrabee. I wanted it a year ago!

Eh, sorry but Brawl's animation is very good. They had very talented people doing the animation for characters.
There was a part of animation in videogames were brawl was shown in my arts university.
The teacher of animation expalined us how good the animation was done, and how the characters move the articulations reacting to terrain.
You clearly know less than him, and the rest of animation professionals, so yeah, you are completly wrong.
Another game that has excellent animation is Punch-Out!!, all the weight the boxers have seem realistic, even if they are cartoon characters.
Graphical power is not the only thing to get realistic, you need excellent animators working so all can work perfectly. That's what separates good games from excellent ones. at least in visual department.

I particularly enjoy the errors in perspective. The dragon tail's tip is front of the rightmost soldier's neck for some reason. The dragon is also too long to even fit in front of the wall where it stands. But hey, who wants to know details when you can have stupid rampant hope.
