Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time preview and screens
- Thread starter SolidSnakex
- Start date
Here are ALL the shots, no watermarks, unedited & straight from Sony;
Absofuckinglutely amazing, if those shots are really in-game, as in gameplay and not in-engine, then WOW. If not, WOW.
PS. I'm also upload two new videos of R&C, 720p footage of some awesome clank gameplay, and in the other is Brian showing off the weapon from the contest, it looks pretty sweet. Will post when uploaded!
[EDIT] The vids were posted while I was posting this :lol Will still post for 720p goodness.

Good work on comparing a shitty Toy Story shot with a reasonable RaC one.

F*cking awesome!!!
Like one has said previously, Pixar Quality!
The best off all is that Ratchet it's not only a Pixar-quality-game, it has an amazing gameplay and tons of fun.
For me it's an absolutely day one. Congrats again INSOMNIAC team, you have sold me every game you've made on PS3

I wish Sony would stop releasing supersampled bullshots of their first party games. The titles stand out right at the top of the console tree anyway, so be proud of how they really look, no need for this silly tranny surprise shit.

He can "violate" me all he wants, doesn't stop these from being insanely supersampled bullshots that would likely run at less than a frame per second on real PS3 hardware.
My point is these games look great in their original form, so post the direct feed captures, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Pixar quality.. Its always the same..
First of all: I do not want to say, that Crack in Time will not look great. But these are clearly bullshots. Most of the screens are taken from the cutscenes (and if you played ToD, you know that every cutscence looks better than everything in the actual game) And the realtime pics: I seriously doubt, that the PS3 can output something like that with perfect AA with 60 frames per second. So, yeah.. Let me see real screens of the in-game sections. Then we can talk about the graphics.

Um, you do realise you picked another super sampled "bullshot" shot, right?

I just look at the screenshots on IGN and they're wrecked. Anyone see these as torn to bits?

No they never, the game released with severely downgraded IQ. So, yeah, history will repeat itself and you'll be proven wrong when the game doesn't release with a 4x4 supersampled 16xaa/af, plus tweaked LOD, image.
The point is direct feed captures look great as it is, and can out compete other titles just fine, there's no need for Sony to resort to petty tactics like this. I doubt even my GTX 260 which is around 5-6x as capable as RSX could manage those shots with realtime framerates, so RSX sure as shit can't.
Yes BeeDog...but that's fine isn't it? I think we can all look past that the shots are taken at a very high-resolution and then reduced in size to increase image quality and AA for print/online. It's the industry standard. Knowing that the very same image will be 720p and less AA in-game really doesn't bother me and it shouldnt bother you.BeeDog said:
All screenshtos released by developers are released as super-sampled shots. WELCOME TO THE VIDEO GAMES INDUSTRY. What. is. the. point. in. talking. about. it. in. every. thread. when. new. screenshots. are. posted?
Yes it isn't rendered at 3000by2000 with 16xAA - I GET THE POINT. The actual GRAPHICS are still impressive though. There's more to video game graphics than resolution and AA. JEEZ!Oliver.S said:

Yuh. Sigh.
I didn't post the image. I just think it looks good. Meh...I have played ToD btw and watched TS. Does it really matter what I think anyway? Leaving this thread. BYE!McBradders said:

Cuz you're comparing, nay, stating that they're "Pixar" quality when they clearly aren't?

Finally.
Anyhow, the game looks fantastic, I hope they bring back more platform components.

We get plenty of direct feed captures, there wouldn't be a huge pixel counting thread at B3D otherwise.
Supersampling adds more than just standard high levels of msaa, these shots have huge amounts of af, improved LOD and the whole image is antialiased to huge degrees, not just the polygon edges. It takes an order of magnitude more computing power to create that level of graphics in real time, so no, they're not representative of the game on real PS3 hardware.
We can judge the assets, sure, but that's about it. Honestly, the thing that is bugging me the most is that we've got people in this thread claiming these are realtime shots ffs, clearly not everyone understands what these are, and thus need to be educated.
What a f-ing mess.
Supersampled screenshots are nothing new. Virtually all PR-released shots you see of games are shrunk from higher resolutions.
Stop bitching about it, ffs. It's not exactly the most persuasive retort to 'pixar quality!!11' claims either, you can point to more obvious differences before resolution if you really wanted to.

I hope we're this vocal in our complaints about standard industry practice in "other" first party threads.
edit:especially bullshots from developers that fuck with poly counts and shader ops.

Sure. I could have said the same thing in one of the Forza 3 topics. I hate how they only releasing pics from the photo mode. Sure, it is standard industry practice, like you said, but I don't like it.theignoramus said:
Personally, its no big deal for me either.Nachkebia said:

It looks amazing, and sounds like a lot of fun. I don't care about the technical details of the images, the previous R&C already looked awesome. Can't wait to play this one.
