Whats with the Unreal 3 hate? The games graphics actually look good.

As long as developers create cookie-cutter stuff on UE3 - or any engine, for that matter - it'll be widely regarded lower than deserved. I mean, come on, American McGee's Grimm and Roboblitz use UE3. Not necessarily visual powerhouses, but at least they're trying something.
As for the pictures, I guess I like it. Gotta see it in motion, though. And I do feel the "Journey to the West" vibe.

It's not her. This character is your partner/master (hence the title) in the game, she helps you solve puzzles and you protect her.

From those screens you can immediately tell that Enslaved has better texture fidelity, AA, and significantly higher poly counts on character models.
What parts look better than HS other than pushing more characters on screen (from what we've seen anyway)?

First time hearing about this game. Intriguing. She does look like Nariko like others have mentioned, doubt its her tho.
Other than the cherry blossom hallway, and leading up to the bird cage: Heavenly Sword didn't look that good. Nariko's skin did look amazing tho.
Hopefully gameplay will be the focus this time.

Don't forget that HS had a tons of technical issues. Hope Ensvaled won't have any tearing/framerate issues though. It looks very nice and I like the art direction, bring it on NT.

having known nothing about this game, those screens don't make me want to learn anything more.

I haven't played it for awhile but it may have had a few framerate slowdowns here and there. A ton? No.

Game looks good,but the use of bloom is once again exaggerated,wow.
The beauty of this Nariko Mc.Fly game is that it won't be running under 30 frames most of the time,I hated that shit about Heavenly Sword. Hopefully screen tearing isn't too bad but I won't hold my breath. Please come to the PC sweeheart and those problems won't exist.
And no dual analog fighting mechanics this time around,it felt really weird not using buttons for main attacks.

Heh, how can it not be a downgrade from Heavenly Sword? UE3 is an old an engine as that. Plus, it's a multiplatform effort. And the two games that really impressed me using the UE were Bioshock and ME, and that was certainly due to the art style of both. They chopped off Nariko's hair because UES simply cannot render decent hair. And that's not some sort of internet hyperbole, or whatever GAF calls it.
I'm also jaded because I thought HS was a pretty bad game. Looked really nice, though.

Because despite the fact that the game does not necessarily look bad, UR often leaves its stain on the games it is used in. With a few exceptions, you can almost always tell whether a game is made with it or not.

not true at all. from everything I heard at GDC, the art pipeline was in need of a dramatic improvement. art is the most expensive content to produce. poor art pipeline increases cost.Violater said:
ID and Crytek have yet to ship on 360 and PS3. Framework (capcom) is not localized in english, and probably has zero support, as it isn't their business model.UE3 - I guess its the only engine around to support both PS3/Xbox360. Where is ID, crytech, maybe capcom's own engine. Fuck UE3
they had a number of items to do. Go multiplatform and improve the art tools pipeline. Going multiplatform is a challenge, improving art tools can be very painful. Especially if you are developing those tools as you build the game.
That has nothing to do with rendering hair. That is more on bone and animation budget. The hair and associated animations in HS weren't procedural or anything. They were all animated then baked into the animation. If they wanted to do the same thing in this game, they could.
No, not all the senior programmers left NT after HS. Actually they are all basically still there, barring a couple of exceptions (me includedszaromir said:
). NT is a company full of *very* talented individuals, a couple of defections won't make any significant difference (and they hired new talent anyway..). In this day and age games are a large collaborative efforts, not even having a John Carmack in your team would make a dramatic difference. Unless your team really sucks Go Ninjas go!
The funny thing is that in the industry, most hate for it comes from tech people that worked with it. Artists I've spoken with generally love the thing.Strider2K99 said:
So if consumers generally think UE3 games are ugly, does that imply that giving Artists better tools, results get worse?
Actually we've had a B3D debate few years ago on this - and there's something to be said for NOT giving artists too much freedom in their work...

I don't really care what engine this is on, I would say it looks technically equivalent to HS... (Which is to say it looks fine) But from an artistic standpoint I'm not thrilled.

That's not Nariko, look-alike yes.
The main character "Monkey" looks and sounds awful. The female in the screens is known as "Trip". Yea, seriously. Sounds like a 12 yr old named them. Gameplay seems like Prince of Persia in the Bionic Commando world to me according to GI. Still, it's early and I will keep my eyes on Enslaved.
Honestly? I'm excited just because its Ninja Theory, and I hope they bring back whatsherface who's in Fringe now for the Nariko lookalike.
Other than that, UE3? Need to see in motion. If there's anything I'm sure about, its Ninja Theory's reliability to deliver a quality story and excellent presentation. That's what I'm betting on.

Just because this game uses UE3 doesn't mean it's going to bad. Mirrors Edge uses UE3 and it looks glorious...desu desu~Darkpen said:Honestly?

Your team had very talented programmers and artists, game design-wise some decisions were made that deliberately limited movement, player-controlled vertical combat and exploration which imo were to the game's detriment, an action game without the ability to jump or manually climb made the environments much less accessible to the player and less interactive.

Yes goddam. Mirrors fucking Edge. Also, Gears 1/2. Bioshock used some kind of tweaked UE3 as well, right ?

looks interesting, but not really liking the strong green tint in the rendering postFX. Is green the new brown? :lol I've noticed a couple other games going this direction.

The #1 problem I see here is that stylistically, this game doesn't "speak". Maybe you have to see it in motion or something, but it's very difficult for a game to present itself if you can't understand what you're looking at.

I completely agree. The engine that they have for Heavenly Sword makes Nariko look WAAAY better.

I'm sorry, which was the part was better in HS? Seriously...szaromir said:
The game is like 2.5 years old now. Let's not get crazy. Unless they get this new game released running at 15fps, I think it would be a better looking game, going by the screen shots.
