EA's on a roll tonight.

 

[Mrbob]

Look at the detail. Simply amazing.

Must be PS3 shots.

 

[PG2G]

Hey EA, why is Need for Speed so ugly?

 

[op_ivy]

oh my f'ing god. must own. tits.

!

 

[Amir0x]

I'd hit it.

 

[strikeselect]

DDDAAAAAMN.

 

[Mrbob]

Seriously, this looks great. Can't wait to play it against my boyz on Live!

 

[DMczaf]

This thread needs more naked VC

:lol :lol :lol

 

[puebla]

whoa

 

[Zombie James]

Stop it, EA. Stop releasing all these amazing looking screenshots. We're supposed to hate you.

 

[Truelize]

:lol

I hope everyone knows that Bob is just being funny. This is how he does it. I'm here to ruin it for him.

Hey it's NBA Street sponsored by Prozac. I wonder if they will ever figure out how to make their faces show some sort of emotion.

If they put the fun back in this version (which they said they will) I'm jumping on this day one for sure. Jordan brand bosses.

 

[antipode]

Holy crap. Any chance this'll be around PS3 launch day?

 

[Truelize]

Spring 07

This thread needs more naked VC

Or maybe some naked Adam Morrison. He's all porn star looking too. Bring it EA!!

 

[big_z]

the trees look like crap but otherwise it's nice. what's up with the messed up texture on the shot too....

 

[op_ivy]

i like in the second shot how you can kind of see through the players shorts. wait, that sounded wrong. you know what i mean. whats that fancy graphically effect called? it was demod for one of the (then) new graphics cards.... showing light behind a hand and how you could see through the edges of the hand. yeah, that effect. looks neat to see it applied in a game.

sex and titties

 

[BlizzyAzz]

Incredible detail on the nipples, just imagine what Tomonobu Itagaki would do with it!

 

[antipode]

Spring 07

Dammit. It's like spring is the true PS3 launch. Maybe I'll just buy some Blu-Ray movies and wait for the demo of this.

 

[sonycowboy]

Still needs alot of work. First pic, the hand on the ball and the headband look like placeholders. The trees and environments could look a lot better. And the shirtless wonder model doesn't compare to FN 03 in terms of body definition.(forgiving the different physiques of course)

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Look at the detail. Simply amazing.

Must be

ITS BASKETBALL

 

[newsguy]

I want Greece Street 2007 complete with high res chest hair. At least they win.

These new EA games (FN3 PS3 and NBA Street Next) look fantastic. They better move fantastically, as well, or everything will go to shit.

sub surface scattering or SSS.

 

[op_ivy]

sub surface scattering or SSS.

yeah, thats it. good application of it (as long as its not overdone). is that a feature of both consoles videocard?

 

[DarienA]

Nobody's watching the game? No spectators, no people walking by?!?!?

 

[op_ivy]

gaming-age, where we find the dumbest shit to nitpick, regardless of how good your game looks.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I have yet to see subsurface scattering to be overdone...if anything it's something that needs to be looked into more as it's still very infant technology in game use. Basically it takes the concept that light doesn't just reflect and bounce off but is also being absorbed...this is the key to make things skin detail in games even more realistic.

A great example of lighting and subsurface scattering going hand in hand is the PS3 Alfred Molina Spider-man 2 head tech demo, it showed it off brilliantly.

 

[DMczaf]

in EGM they said games will be going on in the background, and there will be crowds all around the court (who will also rush the court if you do a really crazy dunk). Spring 2007!

 

[Bad_Boy]

Stop it, EA. Stop releasing all these amazing looking screenshots. We're supposed to hate you.

:lol

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I'm really hating 'next gen lighting' in some of these games...

it's like a nuclear bomb has gone off somewhere in the distance.

 

[DarienA]

I'm just trying to fit in.... if I had said holy shit that looks really good I'd be branded a Sony apologist... I CAN'T WIN WITH YOU GAF!!! I JUST CAN'T WIN!!!!! <sob>

DMc that would be cool as hell if while you were playing a game in the foreground you could see another going on in another court...

 

[SantaC]

Nobody's watching the game? No spectators, no people walking by?!?!?

the game is a secret.

 

[Zep]

Gotta nitpick here...There is no damn emotion on their faces, no wonder they look so good. Impressed but it looks like a high-res street 3

 

[sportzhead]

I'm really hating 'next gen lighting' in some of these sports games...

it's like a nuclear bomb has gone off somewhere in the distance.

Dude have you ever played Street? It has always featured "stylized" lighting.

actually you're right. first negative thing you've ever said about an EA game!

 

[mckmas8808]

DAMN EA has done it again. Give me a nice looking Jordan and it's an automatic buy.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I edited my original post- not just 'sports' games, but a few next gen games have had this 'apocalypse lighting'.

I don't like it... and I hope it's gone sometime soon after the 1st gen games.

 

[Captain N]

I am getting this bad boy on day one! I was first on the leaderboards with NBA Street V3 for a while.

 

[Kleegamefan]

I am all over this game......some of the Gameplays details sound great too

 

[Chichikov]

Or maybe some naked Adam Morrison. He's all porn star looking too. Bring it EA!!

Man, they'll need to dedicate one core for tears rendering.

 

[Nutter]

Make it more like Street Vol.2 and I am all over this. (And for the love of all human kind, no EA TRAX, More music like Vol.1 please)

 

[NomarTyme]

Wow! the face actually looks like Melo!

 

[Forceatowulf]

I said WOW! NBA streets is one of my favorite franchises and I was afraid EA may **** it up going into next gen. Well I am glad to say EA owned my bitch ass.

 

[Skilotonn]

Oh man... what is up with EA for real... they're supposed to suck, not make games that look this damn good!!! Jeez...

Def Jam III is going to look insane at this rate...

Even EA is schooling Japanese devs (besides Capcom & Team Ninja) in next-gen graphics... games like these really show the gargantuous difference between the East and the West...

 

[ForzaItalia]

OK, when do we get to see some next-gen NHL 2007 for the PS3?

 

[mckmas8808]

EA were investing in R&D while some other devs were just chilling making great PS2 games.

But seriously after this great jump by EA, we might not see another one for another 3 years.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I'm not really a fan of these images at all, but I can understand how they'd impress people.

You know there are other Japanese devs pumping out great graphics too right? But I guess since they aren't working on the Xbox 360 you don't really care.
