That is what you're suggesting?
That sounds awful silly to me
Yet again, I am not "suggesting" anything. The previous image has been available for a long time but was never released like this (for whatever reason) Magazines always request pics in large sizes to size them appropriately for print. Watch-Impress, among other Japanese sites, seem to have specs that require images to be within certain smaller resolutions. The two "new" pics are probably coming from SCEJ and that is the size they are distributing to websites. This is all pretty standard practice. but i guess you can wink or something. that will probably turn these it pictures taken at a secret event that never happened with a camera phone. ive heard emoticons are magical
That third pic looks okay. First two don't. But the screens are so small, how can anyone tell for sure? Well, besides the first one. That one is bad at any size.
But do you guys really think that's what the final game will look like? This is Factor 5 we're talking about here. They pump out pretty pictures, if nothing else.

...The WI pageSpeevy said:What page? That's from the demonstration Factor 5 showed ages ago. Someone replied with this.
READ THE THREAD. SOMEONE ASKED FOR THE OLD SHOTS
This is NOT what SolidsnakeX posted.

Hopefully when I wake up this thread will be 20 pages long and the SDF woulld have gone through all 5 stages of grief. Right now, quite a few are stuck in stage 1: Denial...

mrkmas, read what I'm about to say very carefully.
That screenshot was NOT reshot or redone for Watch Impress.
It was part of a developer conference we saw ages ago.
Do you understand this? It is not part of a new build. It is quite literally the very same screenshot we've seen before.
The reason this thread exists is to show screens we haven't seen before.
The quality of the three shots and that one aren't even close.
It's not a new screen. Not from a new build. Old as dirt.

I have seen that pic months ago. But why think one pic is real-time, while ALL the others are CGI?

So you freaking believe that the final game will look closer to the horrible first screen and less like the screen I'm posting?????
WHY???

Same guy that claimed RE5 was running in real time on the 360? Yah doubtful.
mckmas8808 said:
Factor 5 has always maintained that all their Lair demonstrations were real-time. These new screens don't look good. That doesn't mean Lair will look like crap, just that the game needs some work (as all games do).
Keep in mind that I haven't been the one screaming DOWNGRADESTATION 3 or FACTOR 5 SUCKS WASTE OF MONEY SONY. I just think the screens are ugly and don't compare to what's been presented before.
Speevy said:
Just throwing this out there as a possibility but some developers (like bizzare) have 2 builds of their games running. One with all the latest effects for screenshot purposes and one with heavily reduced graphics for playtesting purposes. The horrible shot with the disjointed tail, flat lighting, and low res textures could be from that build. Otherwise one of the most tallented graphics teams in the industry over the last 10 years is getting worse results on the PS3 than the Genji 2 team. Now that is hard to believe.

That's nice. We'll see when TGS hits. Going by the DMC4 thread that one is going to be alot worse.
Kangu said:
I don't see why that first pic is so unbelievable. There's supposed to be hundreds of those dragons on screen. Were people really expecting each one of them to be 200K+ polys and with all effects turned on? What they're doing here is on a much larger scale than anything in Genji 2.
I still think Factor 5 are fantastic developers, but they're not gods. People are just expecting too much.

PSP exclusive confirmed... and with visuals that ass it should be a PSP/PS2 game.
Wollan said:
Yeah, everything.
I'm very disappointed - sure the final might look (much?) better, but that pre-rendered stuff at E3 was dreamy...and supposed to NOT be pre-rendered. Lies. LIES... it's all lies...
Since they steal everything anyway, maybe it should be "beLIEve".
ELS-01X said:Yeah, the water looks kinda meh, but WTF about the mountains, they look perfectly fine and actually have nice topological detail. The lighting, although exaggerated, looks nice, specially on the rider.
EDIT:
How so? It doesn't look any worse than this:
That second one appears to have more depth, more color (which can be an artistic choice), more detail of the body's structure, look at the neck for instance, look at the way the head is shaped, there's clearly a better model there.
