...and now in 720p...
Time to tear it to shreds!
The environmental textures are very bad. They' re flat and low resolution, much like those in Resistance.
That said, it' s a generic hallway and some of the hallways in Gears looked pretty lame compared to the amazingly detailed exteriors.
I' m not impressed though and i' ll be even less impressed it it runs at just 30fps.
The character model looks to be relatively high-poly. It does however appear to be textured poorly. The lighting doesn' t help and so we' ll need to wait for further media to assess it properly, but it doesn' t appear to be " as detailed" as the friendly NPC' s in CoD3 and it has nothing on Gears.
What i do like is the weapon model. I not only like the style (i did in the original too) but i think the model looks impressive in itself. It' s not super detailed, but it' s close enough to the trailer for me. I really can' t wait to see the rest of the weapon loadout...
The lighting/shadowing is the other impressive thing. Hopefully the game will play the PS3' s strengths and things like smoke, dust, rain, sparks, explosions etc will look just as good.
From this screen i can say i' m actually impressed. The texture resolution and detail is a little disappointing, but everything else looks great. I' m guessing we' re going to get a Gears-esque on-stage demonstration and that it' s going to be pretty fucking epic.
I can' t believe i' m going to miss the E3 fallout....
