You can't make such a comparison. The games are too different technically.

Am talking art wise. That color and building looks the same to me.

 

[jett]

Actually I do it to post it on another website because they have limitations of screenshot sizes, but nice trying to point me out.

And actually the screenshots look better in 720p due to me being able to see more things in detail.

Oh all right, sorry bro.

 

[Stinkles]

Oh boy. :/



There are a lot of things going on that you can't see in pics (need motion) that would make me question that.

Don't encourage him. And don't derail this thread where folks of many stripes are enjoying Lair's pretty water and lighting. This is not the place for an argument that has been done to death.

 

[Raistlin]

I can tell you that I'm tired of you reducing every ps3 screenshot you rehost just to make it look better than it really is.

Really? 'Cause if you look at the original sized shot ... it actually looks much better than the rehost.

 

[mckmas8808]

I knew you would be in here. Your boys are doing a great job.

 

[Petrarca]

O M G

 

[Shabaz]

Nothing you couldn't do on a 360...now what exactly is the point of this game?

Thats so cute, insecure over a game.

 

[chriskzoo]

Xbots am cry.

Gotta see this baby in action though. A hitchy framerate will kill it for me.

 

[Raistlin]

Great, a game that crunches alot of math problems, just what I want!
.

Ummm ... the stuff they're running directly effects that graphics an gameplay :lol

 

[BamYouHaveAids]

Well, that didn't save Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike from being among the Gamecube's most forgettable, mediocre games.

Let's hope it PLAYS well and just take the visuals as a given. This is Factor 5 afterall.

Rogue Leader was great and if I remember was praised alot. Hell it was called a killer app, even Gamespot gave it a 9.4. :/

Forgettable? It is mentioned almost any time anyone brings up a graphics debate mentioning gamecube. The only reason Rebel Strike sucks is because Factor 5 doesn't know the first thing about making enjoyable ground gameplay, the air combat was great.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I said wow. I just wish the fire looked better. But thats a minor complaint considering the overall look of these screens. Which is awesome imo.

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

Water is really nice but the game overall still looks ugly to me. I desperately need to see the supposed snow and jungle levels. I'm sick to death of these brown mountains.

I'm definitely still not a fan of dragon and monster models.

 

[Treo360]

Umm what else would fireballs do? It looks like a flight combat game with dragons, I don't understand. What did you expect? A kung fu extravaganza?

Something other than Star Wars wrapped in dragon Textures.

 

[Green Biker Dude]

Is there anything known about this game that actually justifies the hype? Or is it just graphics?

 

[ELS-01X]

I knew you would be in here. Your boys are doing a great job.

As expected. F uck the haters.

 

[xabre]

Thats so cute, insecure over a game.

Quite the contrary, I left the debate after page one when I realised no one would actually tell me what the game was about. You lot are the ones that keep bringing up the 360 thing, not me.

Watch this interview of what the game is about.

xabre please watch this video preview.

Personally, the muddy look of the guy's armor bothers me some. There's just something wrong with it.

Anyways, like I said, I want to see screenshots of hundreds of dragons at the same time like them bastards first showed.

 

[Raistlin]

If you think that is the gameplay, then you must have slept through half the interview :lol

 

[jax (old)]

you have a point about the brown mountains but we didn't see much of GOW except for Brown screens..etc for a long long time. Cliffy + 1up even talked about why.

 

[Treo360]

Didn't watch the interview, watched some gameplay footage (albeit old TGS footage). That was the vibe that I got from watching said video.

Summary plz.

 

[Wollan]

As I have been continuously saying, the most impressive game I have ever seen in person and probably the first PS3 game the competition can't replicate graphically.

 

[Jigsaw]

jeez,this is jaw dropping

 

[MikeHaggar]

Guys you can't ****ing tell me this doesn't look very comparable to Gears of War. I mean to me it looks like it uses Unreal Engine 3.0 in this one very shot. (And yes I know it doesn't).

honestly, the character models in gears of war smoke that knight (especially the texturing). on the other hand, from what i understand, this game has a much larger scope than gears so... yeah. the game doesn't look bad, but i question the people in here acting as if it is the second coming.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Screenshots should be banned from next gen games. Everything thing should be showed via movie or gif.

 

[Speevy]

Neither of those games is well regarded. You are mistaken.

[CowGirl]

wowowowoWOWowow

Why? What are some people supposed to do? Some of us like the graphics. And some of us listened to the interview preview and got even more excited. What do you want us to do?

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

I really don't know a lot about Lair except it's got dragons, knights, and you fight other knights on dragons as well.

What are people hoping from with Lair? Is is supposed to be like Panzer Dragoon, or more of an action game where you can ride dragons?

 

[Mar]

Looks ****ing incredible. I'm just concerned how it plays. I've seen a number of videos and interviews of this game, and it looks incredibly boring.

However, if you owned a PS3. I think it would be worth it to buy it just to enjoy the visuals.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

As I have been continuously saying, the most impressive game I have ever seen in person and probably the first PS3 game the competition can't replicate graphically.

Hyperbole much? This looks great, it's Factor 5, but assuredly this could be done elsewhere.

 

[acklame]

holy crap, i actually said wow for real

 

[santouras]

Screenshots should be banned from next gen games. Everything thing should be showed via movie or gif.

movie thanks being as gifs are limited to 256 colours

 

[Rody]

Not considering the resolution of the shots, the game is still 1080p, right?

 

[Piper Az]

Guys you can't ****ing tell me this doesn't look very comparable to Gears of War. I mean to me it looks like it uses Unreal Engine 3.0 in this one very shot. (And yes I know it doesn't).

It actually reminds me of Lost Odyssey than anything else. It doesn't touch Gears of War, IMO.

 

[Tarazet]

Ever played Drakengard? That's pretty much the vibe I'm getting.

 

[santouras]

huh? Rogue Leader was very well regarded. As was said, the thing that blew about Rebel Strike was the onfoot gameplay, if everything stayed in the air it would have been great.

 

[Wollan]

Hyperbole much? This looks great, it's Factor 5, but assuredly this could be done elsewhere.

At 1080p @ 30fps with 7.1 THX sound I seriously doubt that.

 

[_Alkaline_]

I said wow. I just wish the fire looked better. But thats a minor complaint considering the overall look of these screens. Which is awesome imo.

Yeah I've noticed that the fire effects are quite primitive, especially after playing games like Gears of War, Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 4.

 

[BamYouHaveAids]

Neither of those games is well regarded. You are mistaken.

Rogue Leader was until Factor 5 decided to make a PS3 game.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

At 1080p @ 30fps with 7.1 THX sound I seriously doubt that.

Take away the THX 7.1, and I'm sure it could be done. I'm talking specifically graphics.

 

[Speevy]

I guess it depends on where you were posting when the game was released? I thought the general consensus was that the games (both of them) were shallow exercises with terrible AI.

 

[KGKK]

Looks awesome. Where's Heavenly Sword?

 

[mckmas8808]

Summary plz.

New information in the interview:

Environments include two large cities, oceans, deserts, canyons, tundra, jungles, etc.

Boss creatures like giant manta, elephant, etc.

Plot synopsis - volcanic eruptions are destroying the planet. The main character is a dragon rider of the last nation that still has fertile land left. They are attacked in the beginning of the game by another country trying to steal their food.

The other country is in the part of the world that has doesn't have much life/food left. They are despert and have to attack to survive. The main character becomes more cynical about the war as the game progresses and questions his on country's motives.

 

[Rody]

Looks awesome. Where's Heavenly Sword?

It's now a downloadable game.

Spoiler

Where the **** is it? =(

 

[xabre]

xabre please watch this video preview.

It has potential.

 

[Raistlin]

Didn't watch the interview, watched some gameplay footage (albeit old TGS footage). That was the vibe that I got from watching said video.

when you assume ...

 

[Wollan]

Take away the THX 7.1, and I'm sure it could be done. I'm talking specifically graphics.

I don't want to create a fight but let's agree to disagree. Hearing how they are using the CELL to completely make the 3D polygonal layout, animation and so forth and then send that data
to the RSX just for it to focus on drawing on top makes me doubt what the competition can replicate.
