!!!!!!!!!!@ the booty. Too bad she doesn't do porn.

Back on topic:

AMN is contradicting Matt's blog:

And, yep, Red Steel looks and sounds absolutely awesome. We’ll be writing a more in-depth preview of the shooter in the coming weeks, as new information is expected to be released later this month. Even cooler, you can look forward to the first video of Red Steel to hit the net within the coming weeks. It’s possible we’ll see some other Revolution games officially unveiled around this time too, as that’s when a certain NDA that has most publications’ lips sealed ends.

He also comments on the graphics:

Word on the street is that the screenshots in Game Informer’s May issue are actually slightly touched-up (this is done quite often with print), so Red Steel doesn’t look quite as clean as it does in those screenshots. That noted, in motion, it still looks very solid, from what I’ve been told.

Meh. I'm sure the game will look good in motion.
 
Cool stuff PD. And the thing about the graphics were only to be expected anyway. I just really want to see this in motion now.

"slightly touched up" ? :lol

in one particular pic i've seen a character looks pasted in. whereas most people in the shots at least have a crappy circle shadow, the one I'm referring to has no shadow at all. he really does look like he was pasted in.
 
I disagree scrow. The scans don't look like anything remarkable or unusual to me (in terms of graphics). I don't see why people are so reluctant to think thats how it will look. Its not like anybody else does frame buffer grabs in these kind of articles. Fuck remember Amped?

Does anyone here write for AMN?
Where is this touched up shit coming from? Have they SEEN the scans?

I think I'll take the word of the Colonel. I'll maybe listen to Twilight Rockstar a bit too and see what happens there.

I expect the game to look better than whats in the mag, shit, there's 6 months of development time left.

seriously... look again. when you see it, it is glaringly obvious.

uh, yeah. which further supports the case that some if not all of those pics for Red Steel are manufactured, since the practice of doing so is the norm in articles like these. how exactly are you disagreeing then?

so do i. i expect for them to at least include character shadows being cast on static environment... and if I'm feeling optimistic maybe even self-shadowing. i'm not holding my breath on that one though.

however, that's not the point i was getting at.
 
Well, since this is print, isn't it safe to assume that these images could be at least a month old? I think what we will see at e3 or videos shown prior (assuming there will be) will be much better that what we see in these images. Even after e3, they've got another 6 months to work on it.

the characters have real shadows.. its just hard to tell in the scans cause they are highly compressed.
 
Guys, I just heard from an inside source that Red Steel is only using 24% of the Rev's total power. OMG :O











EDIT: I better uh, say this is a joke...just in case. So, yeah. The inside source = my fictional character, Suppertime Family Story Man.

now people don't start that whole the 360 alpha dev kit's just 1/10 the power of the final dev kit.

I was about to comment of that too. In this thread you can't say stuff like that.

have you seen the actual magazine. or are you just looking at the scans? you're going to look the fool when other people get it.

i've seen extremely clear shots. the closest thing to a character's shadow is a lame circle below them and other times nothing at all.

have you got the magazine?

i'll look the fool you reckon? nope, I'll just be pleasantly suprised.

I work there, I'll ask Phillip where he heard this from next time I talk to him. I haven't seen the actual article yet so can't really tell if they were touched up at all.

Do you realize you're basically saying that you saw it running?

*runs*
 
The expression "touched up" is often being used improperly. The first screenshots of Amped for Xbox were touched up. Screens like these that don't show signs of heavy aliasing aren't touched up. They were merely rendered at a higher resolution. If you take a normal screen capture and put it in a print mag it's going to look like absolute shit so devs provide magazines with hi res screens whenever it's possible.
 
Is there anywhere to see screenshots of Red Steel besides that magazine?

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

Just wondering if there's anything else out there.
 
This thread has gotten huge.

Anyway, just to clarify, as I've had a few people ask me to do so here, I don't recall contradicting Matt's blog on IGN. I am not sure where people came up with the idea that I did.

There will be video of Red Steel pretty soon, as in before E3. That said, there actually won’t be any more “information” on it -- that I know of. It turns out that “information” that I was told about was nothing more than a press release by Ubisoft, which happened yesterday. Nothing amazing, I know. But it happens.

There’s an NDA out there for Ubisoft’s Red Steel. I don’t believe any other games will be shown before E3. That could change – as things do change in this industry, believe it or not – but I doubt it will. Don’t quote me, though.

As for my comments about those screens being touched-up, I don’t know whether Game Informer did it or Ubisoft, but the game looks noticeably different in motion.

I hope it looks a tad better.

In a good way or a bad way?
 
So what about the possible ports to PS3 and Xbox 360? Does anybody want to get those?
Click to expand...

Until Sony introduces the SonyMote I don't think it's possible or at least the experience will be lessened.
 
We have to remember that the final development kits have yet to be issued. From what I've heard recently, it looks slightly worse in motion than it did in the screens. Nothing drastic, just a tad different.

And this "no blood" rumor saddens me -- I hope it's not true...

The 16+ PEGI rating for Europe looks like it is. Or we get a different version, like GTA VC for example. No blood here as well (can't speak for the rest of Europe). I wouldn't mind a little blood. But better no blood than no game. That's also the reason why all this talk about blood fountains and cut-off limbs/heads made me a bit nervous. :)

If this guy is going to post, he might want to choose better adjectives or not use them at all.

Hmm.. he basically accepts the fact that they were touched us by at least Ubisoft or GI.. so logically, given the context and the tone of his statement, one would assume 'different' to be worse. If not, then he did a bad job getting that across. If it looked better, why would he make it a fact that they were touched up, then use 'but it looks different'? One would assume the point of touching something up is to make it look better.

This was my last post on the previous page, guess you guys missed it.
 
Who are all these people suddenly coming out of nowhere, saying they've seen the game running with negative impressions. I mean, the thread been up since friday I believe are these comments trustworthy.

I hope this isn't fanboy spec ops.
