Not. Fucking. Impressed.

I know the screens are small. Blame Gamepro. That aside, check out the awfully low resolution, flat, ugly textures!

Oh, and don' t miss the angular tree trunk in the first screen...[:' (]







The game as a whole looks great, but i fear the environments will be lacking compared to other next-gen titles and that the focus will be on detailed character models like in Resistance.

That said, some of the games texture work looks pretty good...



...flat, but detailed enough for me not to complain that the floor doesn' t look next-gen enough...

They need to deliver with this game. Fucking it up would be a huge blow to Sony and none of their titles have impressed visually so far. MotorStorm has awesome physics, particle effects and lighting, but it' s still lacking texture-wise.

Shame that this isn' t even 60fps. That would have at least have been something...

Frankly, I care more about animations, AI and, physics than I do about graphics. As long as the graphics are functional. I' m happy if it doesn' t look like something Wii would have. Poor textures won' t break a game.

Sorry bud, but didn' t get around to looking at the tree.

It' s a solid looking game, just, a smidge smudgey. (heh, smidge smudgey, funny)

I don' t know much about how well textures progress during development, but I can' t imagine them being much better than that when it releases. Despite having suprisingly passable textures, the environments seem to be incredibly well designed.

Sigma shows that really detailed textures are possible...



...Ninja Theory really have no excuse, especially with the game being in development for so long now.

Sigma shows that really detailed textures are possible...

Yeah, but look at the Xbox 1.0 dead ninja they borrowed for that screencap.

This' ll be releasing about the time I' m planning on getting a PS3, so I' ll at least rent it. I wonder how it looks in motion.

No, that' s just my rubbish screen grab.

Duh!

It looks so good it' s bad... ahgatcha.

i agree with you nitro about the textures, i' m very disapointed, looks like sony is about to embarass itself ... again... but i have high hopes in other big games and developers.

now, check out that !! mass effect looks to be awesome , yes we know, but the environment is not something i call impressive, still character models are mind blowing !!

Andy Serkis makes this game.

Wow, im not really used to the environment being crappy. Most games i play the environments look great and everything else is mediocre

Andy Serkis makes this game.

Makes?
Uh... unless there is another guy with that name, Andy Serkis is the guy who played Gollum in LOTR.
He does play that king in the game. You' ve probably seen him in the trailers. King Botan.

EGM says Andy Serkis ' makes' the game. Besides the voice-acting, possibly he might be a co-producer? Heck, maybe he did some more motion capture.

Makes? Really? Huh, never saw that coming.

Yeah he was at e3 2006 promoteing the game. me thinks anyhow.

Andy Serkis? I could see him doing something like that.

He is doing motion capture for the game, it was in the lastest video feature on the game

Must' ve subconsciously stole that from EGM. In any case, I agree with it, which is odd, because EGM is run by a gaggle of idiots.

Isn' t EGM something to do with the morons at 1up?

By default.

Whats wrong with 1up?

I dont go there or nothing, Infact the only site related to 1up I go to is Gamevideos, and I only go there to watch Broken Pixels.
