A 720p frame is 921,600 pixels (1280*720=921,600 pixels)

Whereas a 1080p frame is just over 2M pix(1920*1080=2,073,600)


That is what I was talking about, no biggie :)

I was zonked out. I edited already.

It's unbelievable to me that folks say this. They are markedly different, IMO. And yes, I've played RR6.

it really is... the detail went up and the gameplay is refined.

plus they got rid of single race.

this game is already in the 8.5 territory because of it.

...

i know it's unlikely but i hope RR7 gets ported to 360... i really do feel burned having RR6 and then turning around to see RR7. RR fans are on the 360... but lets be real... RR6 isnt really that fun.

Who the hell is saying RR7 is a stinker? @_o


Just for clarifications sake, I am not implying you are saying its a stinker, I am just saying I like the look of the game....


I also understand that its not for everyone....no game is....


Well, no game until Mario Galaxy arrives :D
 
Yeah, there are *some* HDR effects on RR6 but RR7 has much more over the top HDR, and more frequent use of it, judging by Blims videos...

actually, most HDR effects in games seem to be over the top, but i'd describe RR7's effects as being pretty much perfect in intensity - it's not the yellow-fest that we see in some other games.

Again, i've not watched any videos yet - i saw the game first hand and my Alzheimer's
hasn't kicked in just yet.... ;)

Hey DC....any other PS3 games strike your fancy?


And if so, in what ways?

I bought RR6 at $40 so I like the game alot too. ;) I just love it differently then PGR3.


And I don't care about Mario Galaxy. *runs*

To be fair, I loved both PGR3 and RR6 in different ways, although RR6 was criminally ignored for some reason I am still trying to figure out.....the game was a TON of fun for me...I still play it today...


And How DARE you doubt MG....HEATHEN ;)

I honestly think RR6 lost out because of comparasins to PGR3. Let's say hypothetically if PGR3 launched 3 months after RR6, I think RR6 would have done MUCH better in the market. RR6 just didn't bring enough next gen-ness in comparsin to PGR3 to the American launch audience's eyes IMO.

And in the same vein, I think Motorstorm will absolutely kill RR7 in sales in the States with PS3 launch.

Yes, i played single player Resistance and thought it was very nice indeed. Was a little bit glitchy in spots, but the atmosphere and setting (NORTHERN ENGERLAND!!!) really clicked for me - the dust and debris in particular really helped.

i didn't play DMC4 but i saw enough to know that i desperately want to play it.

VF5 and VT3 were both looking like fantastic conversions , although depending on the online situation, VT3 might drop off the list if the X360 version supports (i assume so).

Armoured Core wasn't playable (which was disappointing) but it looked decent.

And despite LAIR and Motorstorm being ASS (*kachings spider sense twitches*) i still remain very interested in both, especially the later.

stupid as this sounds, i went over to the booth but one of our good friends was working there, so me and the wife ended up talking to him and arranging nights out - promptly ignoring the game :/

Motorstorm isn't a launch title although it'll be out a month after the launch. RR7 can benefit from the initial racing fan rush.

Hey, that's a very good thing for RR7! I think there's a fair chance that if it's the only real racing game at launch, even only for a month, there could be some decent sale numbers that it could put up.
 
RR7 on PS3 will bring the love back to the series - especially when it's demo'ed on 1080p screens

It'll still disappoint NAMCO. After Sony announced their price drop in Japan NAMCO suddenly raised sales expectations to a fricken million in Japan. And not just for RR7, but for ass like Gundam.

You got to be fvcking shittin me. -_-
 
Hey solid, did NamcoBandai give any sales projections for Trusty Bell?

after MS said they'd reach 1 billion people, Namco have been conservative and are aiming for 5.4 trillion units sales....

when asked how they'd manage to sell to more people than there are users, a Namco spokesman simply said " this is the level of confidence that we have in our products"


Sersiously, can someone send these people on estimation training courses?

They did? Interesting. Has World Explorer mode been changed in any way? Also will there be any acheivemets for doing things like no crash victory, etc? These are things that I have yet to hear about.

RR7 will do a million copies easily in Japan. I GUARANTEE it. It's going to be a giant online orgy in November!

Very good I guess :)

those screens rock but I wanna see more of the night tracks. If there's a "revamped" crossbay tunnel with more animated rides and even better lighting I'm gonna do jumping jacks on the Santa Monica peer wearing nothing but a leather vest a pair of Timberlands!!!!!!
 
I see a ":o" face in those pics.

lol - yeah, i was thinking that - there is one shot where it's like it's dawned on him that the reality is "Oh shit, so i need a 49800 yen PS3 , this game, a 300,000 yen 1080p tv, and about a metric ton of ultra absorbant tissues... SHIT! ... time to go down the docks..."
 
I have mixed opinions on this. Some screens look dull, and anotherones looks quite beautiful. Scenery makes or break these titles, I guess. And I wonder how much of a speed sensation you would get.

This shot looks almost real, except for the flying car in the air. The HDR lighting is very well done, very natural.

It was actually and it looked good though not perfect framerate.

again, it was another game with 'pre-TGS nerves' - it wasn't playable on friday, they had a sign up saying "will be playable tomorrow" :(

but hold on - you were there on friday :/
what time did you see it/play it?
Interesting.
 
nope - not after a whole day there and i had a wedding to go to on saturday.
Sunday was gafcast.

Just to clarify, you went on friday right?
 
DCharlie said:

Yep. I busted my damn feet being there every minute of every day. :lol
I guess I was lucky as I didn't play the bad builds of MotorStorm or L.A.I.R from the first day. Though I had 20-25fps in MotorStorm which isn't too good but the game was really good looking.

Those are gorgeous. I'm wondering how much richer the color display is on those bravia compared to normal 720p hdtv... Damn sony makes me want to upgrade!
 
Btw, anyone interested in a 50 fps (pal camcorder) 720p version of my TGS RR7 video? I don't have the tape right here but I can get it back in a few days. I finally have a ntsc camcorder so I'll be able to do true 60 fps (well 59.94 is close enough) showfloor footage :)

That would be awesome. DMC4 at that frame rate would be nice too :D

Ok, I'll give it a try. The good DMC4 footage I have was filmed during the presentation so it's not really as good looking as the rest. I should get back my tapes within a week.
