Looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait for this game now, definetly a purchase. I loved Fahrenheit.

Anyone complaining about the gameplay has obviously never played Fahrenheit.

I agree.

That said, a large number of people fans of this game, but have never played Indigo Prophecy.

They are fans because:

A. This is a PS3 exclusive.

B. Graphics of said game were heavily touted as "only possible on the PS3," and "CGI Quality."

Fact is, hardcore fans of the first game, Indigo Prophecy, should still be very excited about this.

However, fans of the game who just became fans because of the obviously touched up early rendering of the engine should be vastly dissapointed. Not only could this game be done on the Xbox 360, it could be done slightly better. None of these trailers look as good as Gears 2, or even Alan Wake(which might also be touched up renderings).

Despite this fiasco, the truth is, this game is still the sequel to Indigo Prophecy, and us IP fans should LOVE it. Most of the "fans" on this site, however, don't even know how the game will be, at all(they would probably hate it if they did), and wouldn't give a rats ass about it if it was on the Xbox 360, and in fact, would probably be flaming this very trailer right now.

Am I wrong, at all, here? Please, I require feedback if you believe I am incorrect. I must know, how, exactly, is this post not dead on?

My brother and I are big fans of Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe). With that said all you said about why people are fans is spot on. I'm looking forward to this game because i know its like Indigo Prophecy, and i liked it very much.

YES! Me too. When I can actually find a fan of this game that has played Indigo Prophecy....it just makes me smile. I LOVED IP. People here hype it for all the wrong reasons. They don't even know the game they are hyping. I might as well have played through it once already.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

So, what you're saying is that my expectations were simply too high, and indeed the game was never intended to blow everyone away graphically, but instead, I am to blame, for expecting too much?

This is just spin. Everyone with 2 eyes, who saw that trailer, but had been expecticing unbelievably graphics, and these aren't unbelievable.

It IS NOT MY FAULT, or the fault of my eyes, that these graphics aren't as good as what 99 percent of EVERYONE on this forum expected.

I'm tired of being attacked because I have an opinion. A very valid and common one, btw, and one that isn't completely biased, btw.

I mean, it's rediculious, "how can you compare xxx to xxx" it's EASY. I can compare anything, with my eyes. Anyone, not trying to damage control this, can compare technical graphics in any game, to technical graphics in this game, and tell that it DOES NOT look CGI Quality, but instead, it looks failry pixilated and average, and obviouly NOT as good as Uncharted, when it was hyped to look MUCH better than Uncharted. If you deny that it was hyped to look better than anything else...well I have no response to that. There are members of this site, with Avatars NAMED after how "great" the graphics look in this game. Closer to release, they look good, but they don't look like the best game ever.

 

...do they look like the best graphics ever?

No.

Close?

No.

What say you?

I am not responsible for what people in this or other sites said about this game, nor for your response to that hyping, for what you saw or learned about the game or for what you believe their motivations are. The only discussions I ever had about this game were about its gameplay, and about the Fahrenheit QTE way of treating the action scenes compared to other subgenres of adventure games.

I am simply answering your previous posts, where you compared the very small images in a member's signature with the full fledged graphics of games like Alan Wake (in its technical demo at least), Killzone 2 and Gears 2. Read my comment again.

As for the "I can compare anything, with my eyes", you're either playing dumb or ignoring what I wrote. I'll repeat once again: look at the taxidermist gameplay video, or the lagoon club scene. Look at the HD version of the detective in the junkyard scene. Something in those scenes is clearly better than KZ2 and something is not as good. There's some incredibly detailed human models and settings in the taxidermist demo (the closeup on Madison's face and her eyes is impressive), and an amount of complex action on screen in the club one that is unparalleled in KZ2. At the same time there's not the technical prowess of KZ2 when it comes to light sources or post-rendering effects, nor the advanced animation chaining seen in Uncharted and looking even better in Uncharted 2.

Which will have "better graphics" in the end will depend on what you choose to focus on. Heavy Rain will probably look impressive, though it aimed for very different goals functional to the game structure. It won't need the rendering technicalities of Killzone 2, but it will need incredible amounts of motion capture, and I hope a great stress on facial expressiveness.

This is what I say.

If you want to keep throwing a fit, I won't mind you, but you're wasting your time and energies with the wrong interlocutor.

Despite the damage control in this thread, not many seem very excited about Heavy Rain anymore.

And the club scene trailer wasn't very impressive either. Nowhere near the grafix of the street and house demo.

Originally I was predicting 1.1 million lifetimes sales but that seems impossible now (maybe that was stupid in the first place, knowing it's a niche adventure game).

Btw, I wonder why they decided to release these trailers just a couple of weeks before E3?



expected higher gfx, but still fine.
