I'm wowed! Looks amazing. Thats some great texture work.

 

[element]

if it was in-game = impressive
the fact that they are maya renders = not impressive

3D artists have been doing this type of stuff for a long time.

 

[ChronoMagnus]

The graphics are great, the humans look a little bit iffy but the rest looks very nice. They should add filters to make i look more life like, as of right now the scrrens look a little bit too plasticky.

 

[bloke]

Yeah sure, as if this would be possible where we already get faked shots from developers this gen.

Fredi

Well in this case not even developers themselves are claiming these are nextgen ingame shots, or maybe I'm overlooking something.

 

[Bog]

Sure glad they took the time to model that piece of shit Civic.

 

[Rorschach]

Not impressed.

:lol :lol :lol

I think some of you are going to be seriously disappointed next gen.

all of this is maya rendered stuff. none of this is in-engine. I doubt they even have an engine yet.

no name developer looking for interest. vaporware alert.

Probably...

 

[Manders]

it's nothing special to be honest

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Oh well I guess Next Gen can't be all perfect.
The Graffiti is floating over the damn bricks on the wall
and every car has new car shine in the middle of a city. I would like to see some dirty cars

 

[Culex]

Needs more grass.

I kid, I kid :lol

 

[jett]

This looks amazing. If you're not impressed by this I dare say you will never be impressed.

IAWTP. What the hell people, those cars looks amazing.

edit: Not real time, eh? Figures...

 

[Hollywood]

Jeez, imagine if some small time developer is doing this what Rockstar can do with the next GTA.

Why are they "Maya" renders.

 

[MattKeil]

This is the quality you should aim for next-gen graphics. Some people don't realise it but in this pic it's CG-quality. Hold yer horses because you're going to be deceived next gen if you think this pic isn't great. It's not even all games that may look that good at first. If you're not drooling over imagining everything in this screenshot moving at 60 fps before your eyes then you're high on drugs or completely blind or something.

For emphasis. If you're not impressed by these shots, you're not understanding what you're looking at.

 

[element]

Why are they "Maya" renders.

they are renders from some 3D app and not from within an engine. many of the effects that are being done in some of these screens aren't being done by the BEST developers in the world yet, so why would some small company that we have never heard of and has no previous track record be able too?

 

[PG2G]

Damn, you people are blind. Those pics look GREAT. Too bad they probably aren't real.

I'm beginning to think I should avoid this place come E3. Or maybe everyone will be satisfied when they see that even PS3 has trouble pulling off stuff like that.

 

[DJ Sl4m]

You know it's a sad state of affairs when so many people claim newly released game pics aren't impressive only to find out they are renders not long after.

:lol

Pure ownage

 

[Seth C]

Anyone who wouldn't be happy with graphics like that in a first generation GTA clone is going to be horribly disappointed next generation.

 

[Mooreberg]

Anyone "not impressed" should just quit gaming for 10 years or so.

Or quit looking at CGI images for ten years or so.

 

[Jonnyram]

yeah man this game looks just like that real life picture

OH WAIT NO IT DOESNT.

You know, there's a lot of real people that look much worse than that

 

[SonnyBoy]

Id be happy with graphics like that for this coming generation.

 

[sprsk]

You know, there's a lot of real people that look much worse than that

agent orange babies dont count.

edit: the fact that they are renders makes them even MORE meh. this is like 1998 caliber cg here dudes.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

:lol

Pure ownage

:lol Anyone else remember when sasuke was claiming that the early Gamecube Rogue Leader shots were really paintings?

 

[TigerKnee]

I can't believe some of you guys. SERIOUSLY just stay out of next gen and keep playing your PS2s.

Seriously...

 

[Unison]

I guess I'd want better art direction in my next-gen game, but this does indeed look technically impressive.

 

[teh_pwn]

I don't care how they were rendered. Aside from reflections Far Cry and Half Life 2 look better right now in real time. They have far greater draw distances and resolution.

No, I think you need to keep playing your PS2. PS3 will smoke this shit out of the water. PCs can already do this. There are already existing engines now that outdo this stuff.

PC games from 2004:

Half Life 2:

[WordAssassin]

I think that it just goes to show, that when someone jokingly posts an actual photograph and says "not impressed," and people think it's an in-game shot and he's serious...we've come a fucking long way.

 

[Jonnyram]

PS3 will smoke this shit out of the water.

That's basically what this thread boils down to, right?

I think you need to go back and read Oxygens post, one second I'll post it for you, it pretty much sums up everything.

they are renders from some 3D app and not from within an engine. many of the effects that are being done in some of these screens aren't being done by the BEST developers in the world yet, so why would some small company that we have never heard of and has no previous track record be able too?

[Mooreberg]

game pics aren't impressive only to find out they are renders not long after.

The fact that they're renders makes it less impressive. Ownage would be someone posting a video of it running in real time. Somebody could pictures of CGI from Pixar's next movie, that doesn't mean it's impressive in terms of real-time console graphics when it's not real-time console graphics.

Yea I agree, those who knew they were renders and realize next gen renders will look better have a point, but I was reffering to the posts where they had no clue they were renders yet, still thinking they were in game shots.

That's why I typed my entire sentence, and not just the part you quoted :wink

 

[teh_pwn]

Yes, I can see the reflections, and the lighting is definitely good. But I still think Half Life 2 and Far Cry Look better than this overall. Hence, why I don't care if they are renders because even if I were to give it the benefit of a doubt that it wasn't, PC games last year outdo it and I expect much more out of next gen consoles.

There have been some small developers in the past who have done some pretty impressive work.

Don't undersetimate their capabilities.

I am sure they are not as good as you are but hey.
