I'm begining to think these are from an unanounced ps2 version. This just looks flat out terrible

 

[Cooter]

I think it looks pretty good.

 

[Sho Nuff]

HOLY SCHNAPPS

KOEI=MASTERS OF PS3

I HAD 30 PAIRS OF CLEAN UNDERWEAR BUT IT WASNT ENOUGH

 

[gofreak]

Hehe, they felt they had to raise the bar visually when NFS and Burnout on 360 were released, so..

At least it's also seemingly online, which mightn't go amiss at launch. The customisation could be interesting, but we'll see if it actually plays decently in the first place.

 

[Jonnyram]

I think it looks pretty good.

Especially for the first build. When they get the final dev kits, this thing is going to kick ass. Wipeout just got served. I'm glad Japanese developers are finally giving the Western devs a run for their money in this genre.

 

[GhaleonEB]

The blurry pictures look better.

Jonny, don't you ever get tired of trying to "balance the scales"?

 

[alumn]

Next gen has arrived.

 

[SolidSnakex]

BTW : This is going to be one of the most used phrases over the next week or two (the first part only) - and it's going to cause riots.

That won't be said about the game that matters, so *shrugs*.

 

[Jonnyram]

Well it's a hard job, I have to agree.
But it doesn't tire me... not since I discovered

 

[DCharlie]

PSSX3 indeed.

 

[sprsk]

screens are a mixed bag of ugh and meh.

the gameplay sounds interesting i guess..

 

[SnakeXs]

PSSX3 indeed.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[jaundicejuice]

The only futuristic racer I'm truely interested in is a next-gen WipeOut, this looks alright I guess, but I'd need to play it to seeif it's actually any good.

 

[SolidSnakex]

PSSX3 indeed.

And?

 

[Funky Papa]

This really reminds me of Slipstream 5000... does this have members of the same team on it?

That game ROCKED. I need a sequel so bad =(

 

[puebla]

wtf?? this is worse than boxguy.

 

[neptunes]

In July 2005 our office expanded and moved to our current location. We now consist of both CG and Development departments, and are currently on work on several game titles which includes our first in-house production, Fatal Inertia, a futuristic aerial combat racing game which will be a launch title for Sony's PlayStation 3 console.

Hmm this is being done by Koei Canada which hasn't produced a single piece of software yet.

Maybe that's why it looks like shit?

 

[lexy]

Fatal Inertia? Come on, they can come up with a better name than that.

 

[Zombie James]

Fast Movement?

 

[funcojoe]

These screens succcccccccccccccccccccck, very dissapointing, hopefully looks better in motion.

 

[DCharlie]

there is no "and?"

and , now i've got your attention, have you played RR6 yet?

 

[sprsk]

wtf?? this is worse than boxguy.

no actually thats one of the better pics

 

[SolidSnakex]

there is no "and?"

Sure there is, its pretty clear i'm baised toward Sony. It's not exactly a surprise to anyone.

and , now i've got your attention, have you played RR6 yet?

Yah what about it?

 

[DCharlie]

wallguy , meet 'lol!fly!"

I know we need to see it move, but this looks like heat turns things into a painting.

 

[DCharlie]

i'm surprised that you are whoring for one game though (i assume the "game that matters" is MGS)

Yah what about it?

oh you have? okay - just surprised by your "WOW@Buildings" in the RR7 thread that's all.

 

[Elios83]

Aahah terrible screens,but I wasn't expecting anything more from Koei
Anyway I'll give this a last chance to wow me with phisics when I see it in motion :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

I mentioned MGS because i'm not sure of any game that was shown at TGS that'd cause the reaction you mentioned if it were to look the same now as it did then.

 

[Endymion]

Damn, Koei clearly showed PS2 graphical power this gen, so I have no doubt this will be PS3 technical showcase.

360 FTW!

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

The blurry pictures look better.

Because they're taken from a CGI trailer. The TGS one, if I remember well.

 

[gofreak]

There are 'blurry' ones in the new batch too. Prob from a prerendered cutscene, though, unless they have some REAL nice motion blur and the like going on in-engine, which I doubt.

 

[jGuru]

Well, some screens are OK and some are bad, very bad. Have to wait to decide.

I think he was being sarcastic as Koei's games were among the worst looking PS2 games from a big developer.

 

[squicken]

Is there any chance we can attribute this mess to jpeg compression gone horribly, horribly awry?

 

[gollumsluvslave]

There must be something up, because both Quantum Redshift and F-Zero GX look better than this! :lol

 

[Vibri]

That looks like dogshit. Go Koei!

 

[LM4sure]

It doesn't look all that great but i'm interested in it because of that concept trailer. The second they used that grapple hook to go around sharp turn (similar to Jet Moto) they had me interested.

:lol

Is this damage control? Didn't you admit that the PS3 FPS with monsters (possibly taking place during WWII??) doesn't look good either, but you're interested in it because of the concept! Keep pulling for the PS3! I'm sure some good looking games will come along shortly.

 

[Yoboman]

Is that the 360 version?

 

[SolidSnakex]

:lol

Yes its definetly damage control. So is my comment that the game doesn't look good (visually). Lots of damage control there.

 

[OatmealMu]

And people said voxels were dead! HA!

 

[Count Chocula]

looks way better than it did 6 months ago. Getting much closer to the CG demo.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Other than some of the craft design, this looks like ass. Big, sweaty, hairy ass. This has got to be some really early shit...because there looks to be a huge rift in visuals between the good teams and the not-so-good ones...kinda like the X360. Pics from games, like this one and the ones from SOE's Boxguy Adventures aren't going to help them. My god. Flat out ugliest game shots I've seen for next-gen yet.

There's a good reason these games are being shown BEFORE E3

 

[Lumine]

Haha, haven't seen that game in years. I never played the full version of it though. ;(

Need to see this game in motion first. It doesn't look all that bad except for some poor aliasing and some bland textures on those rocks. Anyway, this is probably one of those PS3 games I couldn't care less about.

 

[gofreak]

That's overstating it, I think. I've seen a lot worse, worse than either of the games mentioned.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

So they don't totally look worse than dog shit compared to the shit shown at the show? I guess. I mean, it might look great in motion, but it clearly does not in stills...at all.

That's overstating it, I think. I've seen a lot worse, worse than either of the games mentioned.

Not in my opinion. It's my personal reaction to the shots in this thread. Especially after seeing the video from TGS or E3 or whenever it was that the video was shown.
