No, tons of that cutscenes were realtime (in-engine) and some of them where CG. This new Artoon engine is awesome.

I thought you were a Toriyama fan?

Hell, I dislike most of his work and loved that video!

Seriously, TGS is confusing me.

You think this is the first game to use Dynamic Ambient Occlusion ?

It does have a unified lighting system that gives a similar effect to Global Illumination (which is how they pull off that claymation look so well)

It's simply the truth. For this sole reason alone, this game is now near my most wanted list of any game. It's that spectacular, that vital. Just unbelievable.

Even more awe-inspiring than LO, and I didn't think it would be possible. The fact that any of that was real-time is flat out insane. The look is incredible, and it seems to have a solid story to go along with it. MS finally made a worthwhile Japanese investment. :)

That's what it looked like to me. The rest seemed to be CG using in-game character models.

Well, I have a few in-game avs from the DQ games, but I have more fanart. I grab stuff that I like how they're drawn, not who drew them, really.

The way you say it as if it is a universal truth for everyone on Earth makes it Hyperbolic to me. :p

Are they using lower than usual poly meshes to make the CG? I am having a hard time distinguishing the pre-rendered stuff from the real time one.

Probably using the in-game models to keep it consistent. The lighting engine does a good enough job of emulating the CG that it can be made to look seamless.

I think they are, am sure the reason is to get almost no difference between CG and the real time :)

oh please, not that shit again. If it's so difficult, repeat the excersize for me: "It's just his opinion, stated in his unique way."

'Cause honestly, I could care less how important it is to anyone else - the graphics were astonishingly good, and it was joyful just ****ing watching it because it was so gorgeous. I will play this game the entire way through even if the gameplay is mediocre just because of how unbelievable it looks.

Oh wow, screw LO, this game is where it's at. Incredible. If this game doesn't take 360 to success in Japan, then I really feel for MS.

some of that stuff had to be real time -- we've seen stills from it which are clearly real time -- and some of it had to be cg, but for the most part, yeah, i can't tell which is which. unbelievable.

As far as i can tell, that all looked realtime to me.

The fact that game barely uses any textures makes it possible for it to have alot more polygons than the average Xbox360 game.

That and i could see some polygonal edges here and there. (not many though)

That trailer showcases the most appealing visuals of any game in years. Certainly, I think it's the most impressive next-gen game shown so far. And I'm not even a big Toriyama fan. I can't wait to play this...really ****ing god damned impressive!

anyone else here, looking back on it now, kind of appreciate the media blackout BD received???

I do :D ... IMO, that beautiful trailer would probably not nearly be as impressive if I had already seen tons of screens/teases from it :)
