Kameo, on the other hand...

[OB1]

Looks much better than PD0.





There may be hope for Rare just yet!

[Great Rumbler]

Now THAT looks more like what a next-gen game should be. It's still a bit hard to tell a whole lot about it though, but it does look pretty good.

Now where are the Revolution screenshots?!

[OB1]

Probably won't see any until the 17th.

[Great Rumbler]

NO!!!

[OB1]

Dude Nintendo is the master of secrets.

[OB1]

Nice!

[Great Rumbler]

It certainly looks better than PD0!

[OB1]

Yes indeed. Not enough to convince me to buy an XB360 at launch, however. Yet.

[Great Rumbler]

Get this, Halo 3, and PD0 with cool graphics and an artstyle that doesn't look like barf all as launch titles and then we'll talk.

[OB1]

I don't want Halo 3.

[Great Rumbler]

Well, neither do I. But if they had those other two games I might think about getting an Xbox360 [full-circle!] and Halo 3 if it was available.

[OB1]

Maybe PDZ will look not crappy in SP...

[Great Rumbler]

SP?

[A Black Falcon]

I thought this game was "delayed" or something... but yeah, it looks pretty good.

[EdenMaster]

I'd thought it was scrapped.

[Great Rumbler]

I thought so too, but apparently it wasn't.

[OB1]

SP?

single-player


Oh and I told you guys it wasn't scrapped. SAVED FOR XBOX2, that's what I said! Yeesh.

[Great Rumbler]

All I said was that it had been nearly a year since we heard anything about it.

[OB1]

And I said that that was because it was being moved to the next XB and since they hadn't officially announced it of course you wouldn't hear about.

When will you people learn?

[A Black Falcon]

By "delayed" I meant cancelled. :)

Odd to see it back...

[Dark Jaguar]

I'm not really that impressed... I got that just from my ATI test aps showing off my Radeon... 9700...

But, it does look better than what I normally think of when I think "XBox games", just not better enough, not by a long shot.

However, that's just looking at it technically...

The art style? That blows me away it's so frickin' magical! It's like a land where the place is LITERALLY carved out of an ACTUAL RAINBOW! *insert scene of grizzled worn down men eeking out a living in the rainbow mines*

[OB1]

Bigger screens:






That's pretty damn awesome. Maybe not quite next-gen material, but then again Rare did say that they're gonna be able to draw 3,000 of those orcs on screen at once, each with their individual AI.

[Paco]

Ha, it was my very first post here that I said this was moved to Xbox 360. Do I win anything for being right?

It looks fantastic in still shots, and even better in motion.

[Paco]

Newly released shots:








It seems I don't know what next-gen is supposed to look like so I'll just wait for somebody to tell me whether my excitement over these pics is the appropriate response or not...

[Great Rumbler]

They definitely look good, not quite on the same level as some of the other games I've seen, but good.

[OB1]

Very pretty, and I'm sure that if you keep those low standards Paco you will not be dissapointed with the XB260. :D

[Paco]

The only thing I could really be disappointed over is the PS3. Geez, after all that talk about how cell can basically open rifts in space I'm head over heels excited! Anything less than a real-time Pixar film will be devasting.

^ How's that? Have I figured out how to approach next-gen?

[Great Rumbler]

I think there's hope for you yet, Paco.

[OB1]

Yeah even nick realized the error in his ways.

[Great Rumbler]

Actually, I don't think he ever did.

[A Black Falcon]

Very pretty, and I'm sure that if you keep those low standards Paco you will not be dissapointed with the XB260.

No, 360 is the perfect title, given that it turns around in a circle and ends up back where it started... :)

Yup!

... it will be interesting to see what the PS3 can do after all the massive hype about it, though.

Actually, I don't think he ever did.

Yeah, I don't think so either.

[OB1]

Hahaha, well said.

[A Black Falcon]

I don't think I'm the first one to say that, but it's quite true... :)

[Great Rumbler]

No, you are most certainly not the first person to say. Still funny though.

[A Black Falcon]

Yes.

[lazyfatbum]

It does look good that's for sure. But I swear, other than those shots where there's tons of enemies on screen or the grassy effects, you could tell me it's a Gamecube game or an XBox game and I would totally believe it. In Conker for XBox, there's grass JILLIONS of blades of GRASS ahem which reminds me alot of the Kameo shots, so really in my opinion the only thing that looks truely next gen is the ability to push all those enemies on the screen at once and possibly the texturing but i'm not sure on that one.

[Paco]

Okay, I really have to ask...

What games are you guys playing? The last game I played was Jak 3 and I thought that was impressive for this gen, and the shots I've seen thus far of next-gen stuff totally demolishes it in terms of overall visuals.

What games am I missing here?

[Great Rumbler]

What games am I missing here?

Resident Evil 4 and Halo 2?

[OB1]

RE4, Half-Life 2, Metal Gear Solid 3.

[Great Rumbler]

That's certainly a good place to start.

[OB1]

Indeed, number one.

[Great Rumbler]

Juxtaposition?

[OB1]

[Great Rumbler]

Well alright then.

[OB1]

Good.

[Great Rumbler]

Kameo does have a pretty good art direction, unlike PD0.

[OB1]

[Great Rumbler]

[OB1]

[Great Rumbler]

Deep fried...
