ARCADE GAME
In other news Bandai Namco announced they would use the Cell for arcade games. My guess? These three "games" are actually arcade games. They are like Dragon Lair or that car game on Sega CD (it was like watching an anime except you had to press the correct buttons at the right time to continue). Except this time it is less linear, with multiple choices leading to different directions.
This would explain the following:
#1: All three games seem to make use of exactly the same engine and a similar gameplay and control system. It would be illogical for Bandai Namco to release three games that would eat at each other's sales, unless of course they are merely three different arcade games that you access to from the SAME CONSOLE.
#2: I don't quite believe that the numerous screenshots are simply concept art or target renders, Japanese companies work in a very different way than western ones (target renders are usually made by cinematic studios to illustrate to executives what kind of game they seek to deliver based on the executives' demands, and such cinematics can be costly and time consuming to make, plus I've never seen Japanese companies actually show such footage, it's even rare to be seen from western companies, since this footage is usually intended for internal use only).
#3: If #2 is true, it explains the graphical quality that surpasses MGS4 as far as detailed backgrounds are concerned (controlled environment and camera enables them to really polish the environment and add a lot more detail all over the place). This also explains how every animations shown seem scripted (it's an on-rail-like experience so they can have unique animations for all events, it's impossible to just bump into someone that is not meant to be bumped into for example).
#4 The almost simultaneous announcement of Bandai Namco's use of the cell for the arcade platform the joint venture with Sony obviously go hand in hand, it's logical that we would see the first screenshots of such a venture soon (a venture that must have been in development for much longer than we all know).
So I say, arcade game.

It came from who knows where but they are from Famtisu. They are definitly legit, it is exactly the same visual style and quality as Ace Combat 6's previous scans.
I think Famtisu released these on purpose to generate hype to sell more magazines.

*now that it's been pretty much confirmed to be a prank, I can say this without fear*
I actually wasn't that impressed when I thought these were still real. Yeah, they look really ****ing good, but after Gears of War, this quality of graphics is what I kind of expected for a top tier 1st/2nd gen PS3 and 360 game.
Really, what's going on in these screens that's so amazing compared to Gears of War? They seem to be about equal to me.

:lol - I love that.
The thing that bothers me about these shots is that if anyone was going to pull off something like this I expected it to be some team/studio like Square Enix or Sony Japan.
Someone well funded with lots of tech expertise. Not the NAMCO studio that makes the Ace Combat games (no disrespect ,AC6 looks great.
As much as I would love to sit down and play a game with graphics in real time similar to Brave Arms, I have a feeling that all this hoopla surrounding these pictures is going to lead to heartbreak.
If these are (for the moment hopefully) representing the pinnacle of next gen graphics and all they really are, are glorified Space Age-esque QTE games, they can keep them.
But I agree that I'm not sure where the PS3, 360 and CELLIUS fit into all this.
Router said:
Perhaps. But the real question is it......
A) Real time, and if it is, how closely does the arcade board follow the PS3's specs? Because for all we know these arcade boards could have CELL and RSX but like 2 gig of RAM.
B) QTE. If they are, no one cares. But it makes me think, I wonder if CELLIUS was set up to specifically create QTE games like Space Age for the PS3 and the PS3 based arcade board. They likely did that to stop Sony Japan getting stinked up with all this QTE nonsense.

It's not whether or not the PS3 can push such graphics. It can.
It's just a question of how much is pre-scripted (almost everything) and how much control you have over the camera (very little). So with very little AI calculations and only the active visuals to calculate, almost no physics (at least nothing major, they would be scripted as well in most cases anyway), I see no reason why the PS3 couldn't display such graphics.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that such a good looking game would be possible if the player could run around everywhere, bump into anything/anyone, etc. Sadly, next-gen won't be that good for "normal" games even at the end of the PS3/360's life time.
I know it's sad, it's also what I was waiting for. Sadly "next-gen" will remain mostly old-gen in HD, for the most part.
