[Rapping Granny]

next gen sparks.

 

[Loudninja]

Whats with all the lines?

 

[so_awes]

why so ugly?

 

[Blablurn]

hm

 

[SnakeXs]

In an effort to regain a foothold on next gen, Namco... emulates early PS2 game (RRV) aliasing issues?

 

[AmMortal]

Just fucking release it already.:lol

 

[jmdajr]

JAGGY CITY

 

[KTallguy]

Tekken 6 is a great looking game.
Stop whining.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Damn this game looks bad. How can something slated for next year look worse than whats already out? :lol And I'm a Tekken fan. I've always felt that fighters should look great cus of the limited arenas/character count.

 

[gofreak]

In an effort to regain a foothold on next gen, Namco... emulates early PS2 game (RRV) aliasing issues?

It's nice to recall an era when Japanese publishers actually did cool stuff.

('cept for you Capcom. You're alright.)

 

[No Means Nomad]

Damn. Look at that ass.

 

[Grecco]

King of Iron Jaggy tournament.


But man im glad to see Paul Phoenix <3

 

[NeoUltima]

Damn so sharp, my eyes are bleeding.

 

[Woffls]

Looks like one of those games that wont really make sense until you see it in motion.

Hopefully.

Now I have to consider using the 360 dpad for this or just playing Tekken 5 again...

 

[AmMortal]

fking hell, lines hurt my eyes.

 

[stay gold]

More like Tekken Jag Tournament amirite?

Wait, what year is it again?

 

[Twix]

 

[Darklord]

Those sparks look like artifacts. It also really needs some AA.

 

[RiZ III]

How could one fighting game from a company look so good and another so ugly?? They should really consider using centralized tech..

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hey look, Namco actually releases non-bullshot framebuffers for a fighting game.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Every fighting game should have AA. Its a small area, whats the problem?

EDIT: The detail is nice and I'm sure it looks good in-game but I think I would have preferred touched up shots.

 

[decon]

Won't be judging too much, but damn those screens are ugly as fuck.

 

[twinturbo2]

Cue bitching about Namco keeping the arcade release out of the US and forcing me to wait an extra year...

 

[karasu]

autumn09???????

 

[h3ro]

Hmm... anti-aliasing to be 360 exclusive huh...

At least it won't get swallowed by SFIV though, I'm glad they didn't think they could compete with the game we've all been waiting years (and generations) for...

 

[RiZ III]

Every fighting game should have AA. Its a small area, whats the problem?

60fps.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Cue bitching about Namco keeping the arcade release out of the US and forcing me to wait an extra year...

Why did they hold off on the arcade release here?

 

[MvmntInGrn]

60fps.

Point Taken.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Seeing this makes me want Virtua Fighter 5R on consoles even more.

I might get this, though.

 

[Arcipello]

I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND!

How come fighting games have not advanced at all this generation in terms of graphics? i mean they SHOULD be the best looking games out there considering how small the levels are and the fact that there is generally only 2 characters...surely they could push the consoles harder than this.

i mean take racing games for example, they are somewhat similar in their restriction on gameplay and thus can spend time really making what they have look the best they can.

I just think developers have been VERY lazy this generation when it comes to the fighting genre.

 

[Manager]

The images are in 1360x768 resolution, not 16:9. If I remember it correctly from the Virtua Tennis 3 days, that's the Arcade version resolution.

 

[Paracelsus]

How could one fighting game from a company look so good and another so ugly?? They should really consider using centralized tech..

SCIV graphic-wise is very, very overrated.

 

[ChackanKun]

I don't really care about the jaggies, but the same happened with Soul Calibur IV.

While it is a really good looking game it doesn't come close to a next gen game :| It's not awesome! It's just...good!

 

[Stitch]

you can buy the anti-aliasing for 800 spacebucks on the marketplace

 

[twinturbo2]

Why did they hold off on the arcade release here?

Too expensive, I think.

 

[MarkMan]

If anyone has seen this game in motion, they'll know screens do NOT do this game justice.

100% hands down best looking 3D fighter this gen...

 

[panda21]

i think the stealth background face-palm guy in pic no.2 says it all really

backgrounds look like dr quality, frontgrounds better but not great

 

[Blimblim]

Damn, this has to be one of the worst aliasing this gen. Yuk.

 

[haunts]

This game is the best looking fighter that is out there, no doubt. These shots look old as hell though, I thought they already released them.

 

[otake]

The jaggies are hurting my eyes! Did they just through in more polygons and called it a day?

 

[Lebron]

If anyone has seen this game in motion, they'll know screens do NOT do this game justice.

100% hands down best looking 3D fighter this gen...

This

I played it a bit over the break when I went to visit family in California. It looks great

 

[AmMortal]

autumn09???????

This is the real question here, wtf

autumn '09? That's basically 2010. From the looks of it, this game isn't what I expected it to be after all those years of silence.


FUCK.

 

[kenta]

The only possible explanation for those jaggies is that the game looks flawless in motion

 

[Dizzle24]

The "impact" distortion effect looks okay.

Other than that.. THOSE FUCKING JAGGED PIXELS ARE BURNING MY EYES!

 

[RiZ III]

SCIV graphic-wise is very, very overrated.

Perhaps, but it still looks way better than Tekken. The SC games have always looked better than SC. Might be cause it is a lot easier to pull off the art style SC games go for, less realistic, but still, SC4 had really awesome facial modeling.

 

[Dark Octave]

Wow. That's jaggy. If the lack of AA is to focus on framerate, this game better move like two people fighting right in front of me.

It kills me that there are so many games that could be close to a lot of CGi stuff out there if the aliasing didn't destroy the illusion.

 

[gogogow]

I don't understand how a fighting game with 2 characters on screen doesn't look better than action/adventure/fps games>Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, RE5, Yakuza 3 etc.

 

[CoilShot]

These screenshots can't be right... They just look to awful

 

[RiZ III]

I don't understand how a fighting game with 2 characters on screen doesn't look better than action/adventure/fps games>Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, RE5, Yakuza 3 etc.

How many of those run at 60? If fighting games could get away running at 30, they would look a ton better.
