The three pics with the red dude could be from the PS3 demo?

 

[SnakeXs]

Mmm, mmm, how I loves me my bad art.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Please let us not fight about which system it will be on or if a Controller adds more realism to a gunfight instead of a Keyboard...

Mmm, mmm, how I loves me my bad art.

I agree. The screens are technically nice but damn is the art is horrible.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Wonder why some shadows are sharp and some art soft in this game.

Looks great anyway.

I was wondering how long it would take to bring the PS3 up. Well done.

Now get to comparing it to Gears of War and formally kick off the PS3 vs. 360 debate. That's where this will end up anyways.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Doesn´t look that impressive anymore IMO.

 

[Great Rumbler]

I think my laptop died just trying to load this images.

 

[Solo]

Sorry to beat the dead horse, but looks technically awesome, artistically poor.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Must have been the art.

 

[Doc Holliday]

They need to tweak the lighting, like GOW everything looks like its taking place on a set.

Your lucky you didn't open on of the Fight Night threads with the LARGE ASS SCREENSHOTS THAT SHOWED NIPPLE HAIR.

 

[D3VI0US]

What an ugly waste of good technology, it's like hideously detailed crap, I hate it.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

I feel insulted by this image, they could have made a brother look better than that. He looks like he's taking a massive shit, and bows are all backed up. "Where the fuck is the Maalox".

 

[phonte]

Doesn´t look that impressive anymore IMO.

nope.

this just won't cut it, imo.

it just isn't that impressive, after what we now know to be possible in this coming gen.

crytek?

and i agree with whoever said the game looks as if it's taking place on a set.

it just looks so plastic.

 

[Ranger X]

I don't like the art but that's the graphics quality i expect for next-gen consoles.
I hope it's gonna be like that in my games in at least 2 years from now.

 

[Borys]

Virtually identical to GoW screens.

And I see a *slight* downgrade from the previous batch (with Malcolm).

 

[teiresias]

I actually think the lighting looked better in the PS3 demo, particularly in the second pic, but it's been a while since I watched the video of the PS3 demo.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"I feel insulted by this image, they could have made a brother look better than that. He looks like he's taking a massive shit, and bows are all backed up. "Where the fuck is the Maalox"."


Malcolm used to look like Tyson Beckford (That's not Malcom in the pic, but yeah).


Either way, GO2007. (Or 2006, whichever they decide to release it in)

Edit:

Could this be Morpheus 2007? (The map)

 

[WarLox]

*sigh*

when will they let us customize our characters ??

Cyborg IZO ftw

 

[AlphaSnake]

I agree. The screens are technically nice but damn is the art is horrible.

I agree. There aren't enough guys who look like dykes or characters with blue hair and man bras.

 

[guise]

P-P-P-P-P-PLASTIC!

It will probably look better in motion

 

[BlueTsunami]

I agree. There aren't enough guys who look like dykes or characters with blue hair and man bras.

Your perception of art is kinda screwed if you think art implies charcters with blue hair and man bras....i'm still unsure about the dykes part.

:/

Oh wait your trying to make a joke about JRPGS

OH SHIT HWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWA

 

[FiRez]

I hope we get new footage, the last video didn't look too hectic like UT2K4 it seemed to be veery slow paced but that must be because the framerate too

IGNs PS3 video is pretty dark, I tried to get the same frame.

 

[meltpotato]

UT 2007 >>>>>>> GoW?

still pretty shitty art direction... something to be expeceted from this series. amazing quality though..

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Art is overrated. That looks awesome.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I rarely ever agree with art direction being bad. However, this is disgustingly ugly

I'm not making fun of anything. I'm a die-hard FF and DQ fan. I just know when to not yak and throw around bullshit "art" comments. This is a futuristic FPS game and it utilizes the very same art style since its original inception 8 1/2 years ago.

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

Indeed and agreed.

 

[D2M15]

Yeah, it sure does.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Its an online FPS. Who gives a shit about ART? Its supposed to be obnoxious, thats the style of the game.

I think both the lighting and the general look is better than GOW. But I still can't shake the fact that they took a bunch of movies with techno punk themes shook it in a cup and rolled this general look.

I'm sure the game is going to be fast paced and kickass (which is what really matters in the end)

Also, Its not about having it look the same as some known JRPGs. The general look (to me) is just very unnapealing. It looks very jumbled and no real theme to it. But art in general is subjective so I guess its pointless to use art as an argument against it.

 

[dynamitejim]

Looks fantastic, I don't really see a "plastic" look at all in these screens. Normal mapping that looks good for once. Maybe it's because the textures look very detailed and high-res. Probably the PC version if anything.

 

[snatches]

Looks awesome IMO. Can't wait to be playing games that look this real by the end of the year.....

 

[meltpotato]

Apparently, a great deal of people care about the art. maybe you should develop a more discerning taste if you are not concerned about the art. (good or bad)

"Apparently, a great deal of people care about the art. maybe you should develop a more discerning taste if you are not concerned about the art. (good or bad)"


Great deal of people = 6 people on GAF.

I've seen these shots before in various mags, and they've only ever been shown in relation to the PS3 demo at E3. They're from the same scenes as that demo, at the very least (and the aspect ratio is 16:9 FWIW, while the first shot's aspect ratio is not). Not that it really matters, but these are probably from the PS3 demo (and thus also nearly a year old).

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

:lol

No one that plays these games cares about art. 99% of the people that play any game dont care about art. Its only the "video game connoisseurs" of forums like GAF that would even think of the word art when discussing video games.

 

[SnakeXs]

Considering about 7 of 10 friends that have seen these/GoW pictures laugh, I'd say it's way more than that.

"Bad art" will probably never keep me from playing an otherwise great game, but it really says a lot if I outright laugh at it, then again in game.

 

[Ranger X]

Well, in any kind of game i have a better enjoyment when i feel good with the style of my surroundings. It never scraps a game but it help enjoying it to dig the style.

 

[Pimpbaa]

The art looks fine. Anything to get away from the realistic war theme look.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Considering about 7 of 10 friends that have seen these/GoW pictures laugh, I'd say it's way more than that."

Anecdotal evidence! Surely your next post will take this data and factor it into estimated future sales.

 

[metropolis]

what's with all the new generation graphics? everything looks all awkward and plastic and weird.
i don't know much about the techincal aspects so is this a design choice of new games or is there some technical reason that games have to look this way?

 

[Dupy]

it just isn't that impressive, after what we now know to be possible in this coming gen.

My god must all of you live 5 years in the future? When Far Cry 2 comes out you'll be singing the praises of UT2k9. Way to live in the now.

Hey, I like that too. I totally dig nice looking environments, particularly in single player games. But this is UT. The game is built on the premise of being ridiculous. It all about the flash, the explosion, the shiny surfaces. Thats what makes it what it is and so awesome.

 

[BlueTsunami]

This is going to be a common thing you will notice about the UE3 engine

 

[teepo]

this game looks fucking hot. fuck the haters.

No, no, I actually was with 10 friends when they got back from E3 and watched the shit they recorded. 2 said they liked it, 1 didn't care, and the rest laughed at it.

Nice try, though.

The technology not there to properly calculate how light reflects on different surfaces? That's my guess. The plastic look is caused by specular lighting and the fact that every surface seems to reflect light the same way. I don't mind it, it still looks better than old techniques. Things can't go from blatently computer graphics to ultra realistic in one step, things have to gradually get there.
