KING KONG XBOX to XBOX 360 comparison pic

Wow, now that is a difference. As interested as I am in King Kong though, I'm not paying $400 just to see the game look a lot better. There should be gameplay advancements as well. But still, this is one of the few X360 games thats looks next-gen to me. Good to see Ubisoft trying.

I never fail to find these kind of statements intriguing...

"It looks good, but not $400 good"

Who the hell buys a system for just one game? Hell, I'm trying to convince myself to pick up a Ps2 (slim) for $70 only for one game and I trying to rationalize it by telling myself that I "might" find something else I like, but I just can't do it.

Anyway, the above wasn't directed at you specifically anyway.. just my crazy ranting.

Back on topic, that's a huge difference. I wish the other cross generation games looked that good. :(

I really like the way they have done the T-rexs in the 360 version. Cant wait to play this on the home theater.

? I think the game is targeted at those individuals who have decided to buy a 360 and wanted the best version of the game not vice versa.

Exactly.

If I have a 360, why not go ahead and play the best version of the game?

On a side note, did anyone note whether or not the demo was 60 fps? I mean, there is no resaon why it shouldn't be, but the 360 has been disappointing me left and right with framerate...

I don't think so. I think most devs of this type of game are going for graphic detail over 60fps. If it gets to 30+, they probably just throw more shaders at it.

The Kong bits sure didn't look it. Couldn't tell during the FPS sections. It was too damn dark. Didn't play it myself, though. Just watched.

Oh COME ON, this is a PORT of a current gen game. Throw more shaders at it? If the XBOX360 is actually going to struggle with something like THIS, I fear for the future. Of course, I wouldn't blame the hardware itself in this case...

With something like Gears of War, I suppose I could believe the "more detail instead of frames" argument, but there is no excuse here...

I should have guessed that this would be the case based on the poor performance of the PC demo and the terribly unstable framerate in every version of BG&E...

It's definitely 30fps. Played it last night at EB Games - there was a little crowd forming, and needless to say, I was humiliated by the T-Rex several times.

Exactly, so why are you expecting 60 fps?

Do we have to go through this AGAIN?!? Are you going to pop in every 360 thread and ask if its 60fps? I'm sick of your constant whining. Nine out of ten people dont give a fuck if its 30 or 60fps. So can we please just drop it.

wow that totally doesnt look next-gen. That could easily be done on the freaking xbox. Seriously, look at those buttugly textures on the t-rex and the environment. What are you ..12 years old or something to go all "WOw ZOMgh I HaeV to playz it on My expensVe h0me theatur!!"" .

Oh the irony...

haha you are pathetic.
 
I played the demo just about an hour ago at EBGames. The game itself was fun, but the graphics didn't seem next gen to me. Looked like a high end pc game. Had a real big pc feel to it. Only 360 demo I played that didn't feel pc was "Kameo", but that's another story.
 
Nope. And if I did, it was on OA as you allready implied, and what I do on OA should be addressed there or via PM. Infact you are incredible pathetic to bring up something on GAF that has nothing to do with GAF it in the first place. I know you are a secret admirer of me, but please keep love letters and such thru PMs instead of derailing other threads.

What's a pc feel?

are you saying halo wasnt solely responsible for the sales of a whole lot a xboxs?
I'm sure those sales would have been alot less if Halo was the only game you could buy. I'm sure having the best version graphically of multiplatform games had something to do with alot of those purchases.

Just saw the 360 version of King Kong at EB and you guys are blind. The game is gorgeous and the most impressive of the 3 demos. All the foliage is 3-d, the T-Rex and KK look stunning including the realistic scars when Kong is attacked, the rain affects are amazing even leaving glistening effects on the rock and all the textures or high res. I was imagining playing the jungle level in HaloCE with graphics this detailed. This guy was jumping from ledge to ledge with Kong and the people around were in awe. Hats off to them for putting effort in this port unlike Gun and THWasteland. This dev should be applauded, not lambasted. Don't believe what the bashers tell you, this is worth the extra $10.

QFT..Well said.
 
why are people talking about the gfx?? this game is fucking horrendous on every level. ESPECIALLY the lame save the girl part where you do nothing but random button mashing and then jump on it and right click!! OMG WIN!! This is some HORRIBLE friggin PC crap right here.

An example of junior member retardedness.

ahh the good old "you are new so you must be dumb!"" argument. Way to go. Irony drips off your post. My "-_-" was aimed at the person who called me pathetic.

its just a well known fact that the next gen consoles, dont have next gen graphics. Almost all of them look mediocre, that can be done on a high end pc.

Right...

And you wondered why you were called an idiot.
 
It looks like Turok vs Turok+RAM pak. Nice dino though. Makes me want to play Tomb Raider 1 + 2 again for some reason.

but don't you call sony fans "sfags" at OA? .

Sorry, but I'm curious. What's OA? I've seen it mentioned several times on this board.


As for the KK pics, they do look great. I might pick it up if reviews are good.

I don't post or visit OA. Somebody posted your comments here. Its just funny that here you go around calling people pathetic if they make a minor appalling statement while you yourself go around calling Sony fans fags on another forum. Funny guy

Yeah exactly, because we all have seen the Revolution in action and we all have played Playstation 3.

So you have no idea how I behave on another board, yet you make conclusions about me based on what you think I behave on another board. That is rich...

I however have the luxoury to have read your miserable posts here on GAF and can make a correct conclusion of what type of a person you are.

And dont bring the other board here unless you want to get banned. And you should get banned based on your posts in this thread. Keep personal stuff private thru PMs!!

Someone should downsample that pic to proper current gen size and see how it stacks up further, cause quit frankely it would look like a really mediocre Xbox 1 game at this point (leftside).
Are you playing xbox games on a TV many times smaller than the one you will play x360 on? If not than these shots are very valid.

No, I've seen the Xbox pics and they looked better than this, being blown up to near 720p makes it look like crap. Taking a 640x480 pic and blowing it up isn't pretty. It makes the game not that good looking even on current gen to begin with.

That is true. But removing the jaggies and the overall pixelated look, the Xbox version is still looking noticeable worse than the Xbox 360 version. But still as has been mentioned, the Xbox 360 version isnt exactly what we are expecting from next gen games.

No, I WON'T drop it.

They are REGRESSING from last generation, do you understand that? Hell, with the ol' Dreamcast, ports from the PSX/N64 almost always resulted in 60 fps. Rayman 2 from Ubisoft benefitted greatly from 60 fps and so did almost every other board. There's no reason why something like this shouldn't run at 60 fps.

I have no power over any of this, but I'm not going down quietly. 60 fps was becoming more and more of a reality last gen, but now they are dropping back down in the "30-ish" area. No, that's not what I want to see happen. If you really think I'm trolling, fine, go ahead. However, it's something important to my experience and I will continue to fight for it as I've always done. It's not about 360, it's about the approach developers are taking towards developing for it...

I applaud the few developers that have decided to deliver 60 fps for the 360 launch, but I will not praise those who clearly don't care. In the case of something like PGR3 or Gears of War, I think I can forgive them for it as their games look incredible and ARE a bit early. However, mediocre looking titles will get no slack. With Madden 360, for example, we are seeing the return of 30 fps to major sports titles. Ever since NFL2k showed up for the Dreamcast, sports have been 60 fps. You're telling me that nobody should give a shit that the "next-generation" of sports is 30 fps?!

Kong is what I was hoping next gen would look like and most people who have seen it in motion would agree, but some just can't get over the fact that the game is coming out for this gen consoles. This, pgr3, and nbalive are the games that have impressed me the most as far as launch window games.

Here is a thought. Why not wait till the devs get aquanted with the new hardware and are not so rushed to get out launch titles on time. You got to give them some time. If the trend still continues, by all means bitch and moan. But for now do us all a favor and chill. You do realize that these guys havent had finished kits for that long. How about cutting them some slack..at least for launch.

Im not going to get in a framerate debate with you. I've said my peace. Lets not let this thread get into another back and forth framerate war.

So, the 360 is an exception huh?

Yeah i agress i have the xbox demo ubisoft sent out, and i have to say the xbox trex looks weak compaired to the 360 trex. The xbox pic doesnt looks as bad in the cave,but it isnt far off that its very ps2ie in the gfx department but i had a blast playing the demo. +1 Sale for the 360 version.
 
Why does the PC game look like shit and the X360 game look great. Unless those "PC" screens posted are really from the xbox version. But I dont understand why companies would release the pc version as a port of the xbox game. PC owners are the biggest graphics whores of them all, they flock to things like that. The game could get free publicity from being used in benchmarks on countless websites read by gamers. Instead they release crap. Makes me wonder what engine Madden 2007 on PC will be based on, PS2 or PS3?
