I reccomend watching the VEGAS video. I was blown away. BLOWN AWAY

I already have. The game looks phenomenal, as does SC. But these PR shots are bullshots, plain and simple. The only ones that even resemble the videogame are the ones where he's hanging from a rope and the one Funky mentioned. Like I said, the resolution bumps and AA we had last gen are one thing. I could deal with that and see past it, but this new trend is distrubing. FFXIII, everything from UBI, Gears of War, some of EA's stuff, these are a whole new breed of bullshots.

 

[BlizzyAzz]

Technical impressive shots but somehow i can't dig the design

 

[RaySpencer]

So do we know how much of this game is coop yet? Chaos Theory Coop is a friggen blast. this needs even more !

 

[MrSardonic]

if the final game looks that good then it is beautiful...just wonder what it will look like on our SD sets

 

[shuri]

Technical impressive shots but somehow i can't dig the design

.. real life settings are.. not good?

 

[Kuroyume]

Not enough blonde haired cyber ninjas with eye shadow I guess. :lol

I kid...

 

[Tieno]

The graphics isn't what worries me in this game. The animation looks like it's exactly the same as in the previous splinter cells.

 

[buckfutter]

Truck has obvious touch-ups to the texturing. Ubi tends to get close to their targets, though. The framerate and animation were garbage in the E3 videos, but I'm guessing this is one of those things like GRAW where the optimisations come thick and fast in the last few months.

The amount of truth in this joke is scary. Satire at its best. :lol

 

[HocusPocus]

Looking forward to it .

He obviously tried to get a leg up an Sam, and he lost.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I must be going insane/blind because those shots look exactly like Chaos Theory on XBOX to me.

Chaos Theory looked good for its time, but I think this looks much better.

 

[Naked Snake]

Am I the only one seeing a lot of similarities to MGS in setting/environments/costumes/visuals/colors/etc? Not that it's a bad thing, just saying... looks awesome.

X360 is capable!

 

[tsp_gatmog]

look!
up in the sky!
its a bird!
its a plane!
its

BLOOM

!

not THAT bad, but in the sky, its just straight up glowing

edit: also, it looks like the ground is...twisting or something

 

[tahrikmili]

Higher polycount, better textures, higher resolution, advanced shaders, hdr..

Yes, from an art direction POV it looks similar to CT but technically it's much more advanced. And this is a Very Good Thing.

 

[wazoo]

Does this remind anyone else of the start of MGS1?

A man in the water ??

Looks more like Wave Race than MGS

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Is the legless man readying a 'nade???

 

[Naked Snake]

Damage Control Fission Mailed.

 

[tsp_gatmog]

Haha, besides the man in water, does anything else remind you peeps of MGS1?

Instantly reminded me of the famous hallway scene.

He obviously tried to get a leg up an Sam, and he lost.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :lol

And I'm not sold on this one yet. The graphics are nice and polished in these treated screens, but the demo at E3 was flat gameplay-wise with stiff animation. And I just can't get it out of my head that this is still a port. I don't care if they're giving us a "single level that isn't possible on PS2/Xbox!" How about an entire game of that?

Rainbow Six Vegas is enough for me.

 

[Chris_C]

I don't know, I do see aliasing (the cables) and some LOD. These look like the typical ultra-high res screenshots we all know.

The game looks close to that, but having played the game at E3 I can tell you there's a fair bit of aliasing that's been cleaned up in these shots... unles they pulled a SOE.

The same's been the case for their Brothers in Asmrs: Hells Highway screens, they look perfect, but at E3 the actual game ran at around 20fps and had a lot of aliasing.

 

[123rl]

"AUGH THE BLOOM, I CAN'T SEE SHIT"

Ok that was funny!:lol

I've never really liked the Splinter Cell games but this does look like a good change. The storyline and how it affects gameplay sounds like something I'd enjoy

 

[BudokaiMR2]

"AUGH THE BLOOM, I CAN'T SEE SHIT"

haha, well played.

Does look good though. I have never liked the series but maybe I will give it one more shot

Spoiler

on PS3

 

[Qwerty710710]

I'm very impressed with the look of this game, I might buy my first splinter cell sereis game ever.

 

[MrSingh]

if you think this looks good, wait till you see the superior PS3 version.

 

[jett]

With the exception of the one with the helicopter cabin, those are all old, although in high-res.

 

[Shogmaster]

Btw these are obvious high res renders using the game assets, the images were in 1920x1080 resolution with no sign of aliasing when Ubisoft sent them to me. Not that the game didn't look great during E3 of course.

Yep. I was gonna mention this. The game at E3 looked like this but with no AA @ 1280x720.

THE FREAKING PANDEMONIUM!!!!!!!!!! THis game looks so damn good, I dunno wtf to do with myself! woowoooohoh! :lol

The pics are old, all of them. All the legless man comments were used up in the previous topic.

"AUGH THE BLOOM, I CAN'T SEE SHIT"

:lol

I'm assuming you've played/seen the PS3 version, then?

 

[OatmealMu]

Sam has some really nice ears.

 

[Speevy]

Do a search for his name.

clipping... 360 am rosebudded.

no but seriously... am i actually going to break down and buy a Splinter Cell game? all signs point to yes

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

This looks really good so far. I didn't think I would see much visual improvement over Chaos Theory for some reason.

 

[Meier]

Holy shit.. can not ****ing wait. :O

yikes

 

[Vrolokus]

No Ironside, no sale.

 

[Chris_C]

Ironside's in it, and he plays Sam, Ubisoft said so in an E3 video interview with Gamespot. it's the guy who plays Sams boss who's not returning for this one.

 

[ralexand]

Why are people claiming these shots are renders? The game looked just like this minus the AA in motion at e3.

 

[ghostmind]

UBI is the developer to beat next-gen - we already know about/have:


GRAW
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Rayman
Red Steel
Assassin's Creed


...plus "the list" had more GRAW and a new Clancy property to be announced...

 

[karasu]

Nice shots. Looks like an episode of The Unit.

 

[trmas]

Let's see if they can fix the animation - it looked pretty bad in the latest videos

 

[Neo Child]

On a serious note, why are developers waaay overusing bloom lighting?

 

[∀ Narayan]

Let's see if they can fix the animation - it looked pretty bad in the latest videos

And by bad, you mean that it's exactly the same animation set from Chaos Theory, right?

Chaos Theory doesn't have bad animation by any means, but I was definitely expecting US to create new animations for DA.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

On a serious note, why are developers waaay overusing bloom lighting?

The same reason why electronics shops put the display tv's in ultra high brightness/sharpness mode.

The average consumer thinks this looks good.

 

[Moderation Unlimited]

Yeah what the f is up with the animation...it's like they cut and pasted it into this game from prior games.

 

[krypt0nian]

It would be cool if they used it like in the PGR3 garages. It flares as you go from indoor to outdoor then subsides.
