New PS3 Footage

[Grudge]

Funny thing is that the game informer shots of the Revolution game hinted at what the actual gameplay could be like rather than just showing what a fucking multimillion poly car sitting in the middle of a skybox looks like.

Ehm, o'dium does have a point. What can you tell from that one low res, blurry, shaky, badly lit video?

and as soon as you nintendorks get to gawk at some "leaked" vids or screens you'll be oooh'ing and awww'ing with the rest of the sheep.


next.

I don't.
I'm not impressed by Red Steel's graphics at all, certainly not by those crappy scans. Some of the gameplay mechanics sound interesting but I'll have to try it before I can judge it.

It's more than coincedence that the regular nintendo 'supporters' are the ones casting less enthusiastic tones in this thread.

End of discussion.

foo speaks the truth

[Transient]

That was fucking impressive. :icon14:

[Grudge]

What a stupid statement.

Well, it's more than coincidence that the regular Sony 'supporters' are the ones casting enthusiastic tones in this thread.

Sony supporters?

[Jackal]

It was pretty impressive at the show (though I didn't see all of what was in that video).
Having said that though, I didn't quite shit my pants from excitment either.
I also think the revolution game looks kinda crappy.

There. happy?

[o'dium]

You know, even though there is all this shite about HD this and high polygon that, you know whats at the top of my list?

The new Mario Bros game. Every time i read something about it i scream like a little girl. Just the other week i found out it had the Mario World/Mario Bros 3 style overworld map with secret areas etc and i couldn't stop smiling for ages. Its just gonna fucking own. Shame its not WiFi for some Mario and Luigi online lovin'.

[Jackal]

The only games I'm remotely excited for are the new guitar hero games and maybe FF12. Aside from that, meh.
There are games currently out on the market that I want to play too ie: KH2, Oblivion, etc.

[o'dium]

KH2. I may actually buy a preowned PS2 on the cheap for this game.

I think my statement was broad enough to be applied to the entire graphics race rathern than just Sony.
Sure, take a potshot at me by saying that it's not mere coincidence that Nintendo isn't taking that route, but my opinion about the whole graphics thing doesn't mean that I think graphics are worthless, I just think people focus too much on them.

The reason why I'm so unexcited about graphics displays is that I've watched those things in awe for the last 15 years and with every new generation, the leap becomes less impressive.

Good graphics can certainly add something to a game. Resident Evil 4 might not have been so cool if it wasn't for the absolutely fantastic graphics. Underneath that though, there's quite a solid game that sucks you right into it. Take Unreal 2 or Daikatana for example. Both games which had relatively impressive graphics for their time but both sucked hard.

Considering RE4's graphics on the GameCube (and the Zelda footage we've seen), the fact that the difference between the GC specs and Revolution specs is relatively tiny doesn't bother me. At the same time, I also know that the graphics seen in this video aren't representative of what we'll see in the games themselves.

I'm not being a Nintendo fanboy. I'm being realistic. I'm too old to drool over a few polygons more.

I'm too old to drool over a few polygons more.

My exact sentiment.
