Where are we heading to when the first thing people are talking about are the graphics?

The game is soooo much fun. In case this matters to you.


I'm actually finding it hard to have fun, I was really looking forward to this game, you can just simply cling onto a pipe and take out everyone.

Gameplay seems pretty medicore to me and controls are pretty clunky. The amount of times Sam decided to jump and hang out of a window instead of jumping up and grabbing the pipe directly above him.

Uncharted 2 seems to do everything better, I even prefer the stealth in Uncharted 2. And as you most of you know I am Xbox 360 bias.

I guess really I was bought into the hype and I viewed this game as a high production value 1st party exclusive when really it's just a 3rd party exclusive.

Sure it's only a demo but it's the very foundation of the game. All your going to get in the final game is more missions, weapons and gadgets. Gameplay will still be the very same.

Bring on Alan Wake?

This is all my opinion and I've never been a HUGE fan of the past games.


I did not like the old SCs either. Well they were okay, but never extraordinary awesome.

Things I like:

  • synchro! The best I have ever seen in a videogame. True story. I played the German version and the guy speaking Sam Fisher is the same guy who speaks Nicolas Cage. That is awesome but nothing new since this was the case for every SC in Germany. This time the way he pronounces some words is one of a kind
  • Graphics. Yeah, it is not the best looking 360 game but it still looks great. Tearing just happened for the first 1 minute for me. I did not even notice this 3 minutes later. It is not as bad as Resident Evil 5.
  • Story. I want to know how this ends.
  • The mark and execute is awesome. You can kill multiple people with one single move. I thought it would be too easy. Just mark and execute the whole game. You actually have to kill somebody with melee attacks to earn one mark & execute. So you really can't do this all the time.
  • The game is not over once you are spotted. You have to fight back, run for cover, hide etc. In the old games this used to be a "game over" sign.

A very good game. I really like it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

yea man that's main part.I was just curios since selnor had me believe other wise. this and alan wake are two games that might push me to buy a X360 ;)

 

so i apologize if posted off topic :p


If it's graphics you want Alan Wake is looking good to take the graphics crown.

In my opinion, at the moment Final Fantasy XIII has it. Even though it's only 576p the game looks absolutely magnificent when you reach Eden during chapter 12. The art style, scope and attention to detail is unmatched. There are a few other parts that make you go wow. The particle effect's during battles are top notch too.

Of course though, you can get all this at 720p on the Ps3.

I know man,,,it's a pure eye candy .it has some flat surface textures here and there but overall very pretty game.for me best graphics as of now is God of war III (i never though they could  touch uncharted 2 especially after playing the GOWIII demo,,but somehow they managed it)

screen tearing is horrible.

i agree with you

im hoping the team will fix this b4 release 


I doubt it, it comes out next month and this is most likely the final build. It's definetely not the build from E3.

Pretty much everytime a demo comes out this close to launch it's the retail build.

Actually, it probably is a really old build finished months and months ago and never touched again.

SpartanFX is so fixed on graphics. How is FF XIII working out for you? 720p in game play on PS3. FMV cut scenes for the PS3 version are in 1080p True HD resolution.

not so good lol

I might sell the game.the story is BS.the combat is not to my liking ,,,,but it's very pretty :p

 

but you have to consider that i m not a RPG fan at all.

 

 

edit: i m not honestly into graphics that much as i m into polish of a game.Resident evil 5 is not the most technically advanced game but i think it's the best looking Multiplat game since it is very polished.

I really hope VGChartz forum discussion gets better. It has been so shitty as of late.  This thread being a good example of the  shitiness.

OT: How are the stealth elements? How much damage can Sam take before dying? How do you like the in game directions? How is the interrogation? How is the Black and White filter?

This is good right? I've only played Double Agent and I loved it, but most people say that Chaos Theory is much better. Man I'm thrilled to play this game, can't wait.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.
