Here is an Xbox 1 tech demo of Heavenly Sword. No its not 360 like the video title suggests. a  quick trip to teamxbox.com confirms it was only in development for Xbox 1 and Xbox 360 was not even known to the world till E3 2005. This tech demo came out in 2004. This is very pretty for late Xbox 1.


again no actual gameplay and it looks like crap better looks raven blade and its not gameplay :D

Really. Firstly ther was plenty of gameplay.  2ndly Ravenblade below. Less geometry, worse lighting almost no post processing effects.

i think 2 games that can be compared are Metroid Prime and Halo series
arguing about Kameo is nonsense
it was on early stages on the GC...

Not saying this is all that representative of anything, but it is pretty interesting:

Resident Evil 4 Minimum Requirements:

Processor: 1.4 GHz Pentium III or AMD Athlon (or better)
RAM: 256 MB
Video Memory: 128 MB
Only supplied on DVD?: Yes
Hard Drive Space: 1.2 GB
Operating System: Windows XP, 2000
DirectX Version: 9.0c


Interstingly you choose the laaunch title for Xbox rather than the comparable timeframe Halo 2.

Halo 2

OS: Windows Vista™
Processor: 2 Ghz Pentium   4 class processor (or x64)
RAM: 1 GB
Hard Drive: 7 GB
Video Card: DX9 graphics card: WDDM driver, PS 2.0/32BPP, At least nVidia 6000  or ATI x700 or above
Online Multi-player: Internet connection for Games for Windows – LIVE
Drive: DVD-ROM drive


That is because of Windows Vista:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/products/system-requirements

 

If you want to run Windows Vista on your PC, here's what it takes:

  • 1 gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of system memory (512 megabytes (MB) for Home Basic)

  • 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for Home Basic)

  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with WDDM and 128 MB of graphics memory (32 MB for Home Basic)

  • DVD-ROM drive

  • Audio Output

  • Internet access (fees may apply)

 

 

Vista made games run like shit ... a game that would run at 1600x1200@60fps on a PC would suddenly struggle to run at 1280x1024@30fps on Vista

Your comparison is just as bad. Halo 1 for pc had to be able to run on Windows 98. RE4 did not.

kameo on game cube

kameo on x360

 

all in game footage this shows how GC was very powerful

why does the gamecube version have an xbox controller?


no it doesnt the gamecube A button is much larger in the first pick than the others(xbox)...

So gamecube had a yellow y button, a red b button and a blue x button???????

Also the GC grey x button was on the right not the left.

 

The image you think is GC is actually Xbox 1.


oh didnt notice that i dont know to be honest maybe it has something to do with the transion of the game here is a VIDEO

You do realize that games developed for Windows XP using DirectX 8 or 9 would run on Windows 98 under similar minimum requirements, while the move to DirectX 10 was botched resulting in much lower game performance until Microsoft patched it with Vista service pack 1 ...

In other words, Windows 98 to Windows XP doesn't really matter, Windows XP to Vista (when Halo 2 was released right after Vista) was a huge deal

Edit: And I also said that it wasn't representative of anything

Man, kljesta64 is making this thread way more entertaining than I ever expected it to be. I've been hitting refresh every few minutes and laughing my ass off!

Are you still seriously saying its a gamecube pic? Even with the buttons in the right place and colour for Xbox but completely wrong for Gamecube???

The characters are different because it was changed in the 360 update. These tings change all the time throughout development.



crissindahouse on 21 August 2012

the A button is bigger because it had another function and not because it represents the button size. they changed that for the 360 version then. it's just the version for xbox 1 and the rest of the pictures are the version for xbox 360 and before the xbox 1 version there was a gamecube version.
