Ok, im going to be evil and say this:

The next game which will truely blow anyone away, not that fake orgasm crap PS3 fans like to pull is probably going to be a PC game.

 

The first uncharted gave me much more of a wow factor than crysis. This is not my inner fanboy speaking because at the time i played both, i was mostly playing pc games. In all of the ps2 era i was a lot more of a pc gamer than a console gamer.. and the start of the ps3 era too (got my ps3 december 2007(managed to grab a 60 giga (euro) amazingly... i just happened to go into 1 store where they got 3 of them later the same day.. had to wait 4-5 hours though XD)

 

Anyways this was because of the.. Execution of everything uncharted does. It pulls amazing graphics with no loads, no stutters and the animation system is still the best i've seen in any game. I heard they had like 30 animations running on drake at the same time and it really shows how .. he just moves so realistically.. and the cutscenes really has some amazing details.. like the expression of chars.. and they even have the same ingame !

 

Ohcourse the water thing was also a big deal XD

 

I'm not disputing the graphicall prowess of crysis in any way.. but i was more amazed at the visual execution of uncharted.

 

Anyways i'm hoping uncharted 2 will do the same.. or Teken 6 :p



Check out my game about moles ^

@Neoraf, killzone 2 was released in 2009, anyways I think that it will be Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain

That Alan Wake video that was shown at IDF in 2006 (man that was three years ago now!) looked pretty impressive in terms of terrain graphics etc.

So those guys have had three years to work on it since then and we still are nowhere near its release.
So my theory is that if the game looked awesome three years ago that with three maybe four more years of work it could turn out to be the new benchmark in terms of graphics and physics in games.

Ass Creed 2
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain


one of these games. I'm leaning towards Ass Creed more than anything right now... but Uncharted doesn't seem to far behind at all. Heavy Rain would follow.

Ok so everyone is saying the next big graphics juggernaut on the PC is going to be Alan Wake, I've seen some videos and it looks really good but it doesn't really look Crysis good?

Is it suppose to be better then Crysis, or am I reading everything wrong?

Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 are my most anticipated games since the release of Killzone 2. I expect technical excellence and extensive polish in all regards.

Although I have much faith in Remedy, I still have no clue what to expect in terms of actual gameplay from Alan Wake (if Max Payne-like, it could become very interesting). Heavy Rain and WarDevil seem promising as well.

^ Perhaps the reason is that Sony spends more than pretty much everyone else and their pet feature at the moment is animation? Also GPUs aren't being used for animation at this time, give it about 18 months and you'll see something there.

Also Alan Wake isn't the poster child for everything you know...

The spending excuse is VERY lame.  Too Human was $80 million.  Halo 3 was $40 million.  Uncharted was $20 million.  That excuse just makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about.  I, also, mentioned character models as well.  PC guys have to wait 18 months to see better performance in those areas?!  Interesting indeed.  I guess you have to wait for the PC developers skills to improve, huh?  Meanwhile, my PS3 is out-performing my PCs in areas that PC fanboys have claimed ownership over for SO long.  This hasn't happened since the PS1, you know.  And, that's not even talking about audio, DSP effects, etc.

BTW, Alan Wake will be the 1st game to make use of an Intel quad core processor.  The developer walk-through even talked about how great their lighting is.  It's a poster child alright.  I wonder if it will have discrete 7.1 LPCM audio.  Only time will tell.

 

Crysis cost $22,000,000 to make. It really does depend on your budgets really. God of War for instance has two animators per programmer so Sony is really throwing down the budget in that department. Too human was a farce and I really doubt that Halo 3 cost $40,000,000 to make unless they coded it with solid gold computers.

Also no, the 18 months is not a wait for developers to develop skills its a 6 month wait for Directx 11 and a 12 month wait for enough of a userbase to develop for games to target the technology. Anyway since you're a PS3 fan im sure you're patient enough to wait for untapped potential.

Lastly Alan Wake isn't the first game to use a quad core CPU well. Try Crysis, try Supreme Commander etc and these weren't even the first to really use the cores.

 

Alan Wake has been in development for AT LEAST close to 5 years (they showed some of the actual graphics running on PC at E3 2005). Heavy Rain has been in development for 2 years and look at those pics I provided side by side with Alan Wake.  That speaks volumes.

God of War is no different from other development teams.  MOST of the budget goes to the artists...period.  I would expect the same for Alan Wake as well.  Here is Too Human's budget (go to #7 for Halo 3).

I'm a PS3 owner, so I can wait for untapped potential.  However, PC guys aren't suppose to have to wait to outperform a console at anything, right?  I thought that was what all the hoop-la of paying $600 for a GPU and $1000 for a CPU was about.  Otherwise, what's the point of spending all the money?

Alan Wake IS the 1st game to take advantage of an Intel quad core.  Other PC games aren't truly multi-threaded to take full advantage of a quad core anything.  Other games just break off a trival portions of the code to be run on the 3rd and 4th cores.  Those cores are completely idle most of the time.

 

@ Bolded and Underlined.

Have you conveniently forgotten that Heavy Rain has been in dev for almost 5 years?????

The first trailer for Heavy Rain's engine came out on a demo disc with my Xbox 360 on release day. The one with the girl in the kitchen talking and crying putting the gun to her head? Making the engine is included in the development time you know.

Also and I'm sure CGI Quality will agree with me, Alan Wake is a complete world. Modelled fully. Whereas Heavy Rain models it's areas. Each section is modelled in Heavy Rain, missing the inbetween traveling bits out. Alane Wake is very much sandbox world like GTA4. Only Alan Wakes environments are more impressive than Heavy Rains. Though I would say Heavy Rain wins on indoor and characters. But Alan Wake wins on outdoor/lighting and characters clothing.

Nothing on this gen of consoles. weve seen probably pretty close to the max on this gen of consoles. Next gen or PC gaming will be the next shock



Long Live SHIO!
