Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Metro 2033. blowout. Loads of gameplay footage. WOW.

Banjo Kazooie (above MGS4)
Lost Planet 2
Modern Warfare 2
Dantes Inferno
Metro 2033
Forza 3 (which do look good)

The graphics in those games are "WOW", while GOW3 looks average, according to selnor. And that kinda makes your input on graphics rather obsolete in my eyes. But please do feel free to keep posting graphics threads.. i like em.

The third and fourth video which wasn't just showing a tech demo but actually in game footage looks pretty sweet. Is that for the 360 or PC? Because the quality is pretty high if its for the 360...

This game looks bleak and depressing. Why developers are so obsessed with post-apocalyptic theme?

Oh, and when US will nuke Moscow one could be most certain that subways won't survive the attack in the same way as command bunkers. So much for realism in this game xD

So, if any developer reads this, here is hint: WE NEED MOAR COLORZ! AND UNDEGROUND REALLY JUST SUCKS. Thank you :)

But the Moscow subway was designed to be the worlds biggest bomb shelter. It is/was intertwined with all sortsof bunkers and command centrals.

I'm hoping for a World War III too. ^^

I don't want to be the party pooper, but remember Risen? Remember how you praised it's graphics? Remember how crappy it looks on the XBox360? In case you don't, here:

Here's one of your threads: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=65381

I'm pretty sure you made a couple others too.

Risen is actually a one off case and the only one I really know of. I would suggest you bring out more than just that game as proof of an overall trend.

Here are Risen's XBox360 graphics, compared to it's PC counterpart: http://www.videogameszone.de/aid,696485/Risen-Grafik-Vergleich-zwischen-PC-und-Xbox-360-Version/Special/?menu=browser&mode=article&article_id=696485&entity_id=219665&image_id=1201200&page=1&order=

I'd wait to see some real XBox360 footage before pimping the game as a graphical powerhouse. Because let's face it, a lot of these games coming from Eastern Europe/Russia have tons of potential, usually very good graphics (on the PC), but are always extremely buggy, and are usually poorly optimized. STALKER was a huge system hog at release. It scaled down nicely, but for max graphics, it was almost as bad as Crysis.

Game looks cool though.

Lol, skimming through that thread was fun, who could have predicted the outcome :p

I wonder if it would be a good idea to read the book first for this game.

What trend?  The "I'm pretty sure you made a couple others too." was talking about how he made multiple posts about Risen.  What trend are you talking about?

EDIT:  I didn't want to bring this up because it's off topic, but here's another example of Selnor hyping something up and being absolutely wrong about it.  I already talked about Risen.  I can almost assure you that the XBox360 version of this game won't look like these trailers.  And here's something about Grid, not graphics related, but gameplay related.

Here's a post about Grid:  http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=24932

"Yes the Physics are way ahead of Forza 2 and GT5p. Also that damage model would take polyphony another 2 years to get near as they have far more cars. Also the trackside damge model from Dirt is there to. Just wow. Grid throws alot more data around than Forza or GT. Thats obvious."

Here's Codemaster talking about Dirt/Grid vs F1:  http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/39734/Formula-1-2009-Is-A-Sim

"Right, I haven't read every post in this thread, but I get the jist and just to stop you all from panicking too much... GRID and DiRT are aimed at an arcade audience and they do that very well. F1 has different requirements and will get a completely different treatment from our in-house team, including full on sim options, physics, rules and regs etc. We will also have arcade requirements catered for as well. How this will be split we do not know yet, but split it will be."

Make what you will from that.  Personally, and please don't take this the wrong way admins and Selnor, I would take most things Selnor hypes with a grain of salt.

Oh ok, I get you. Thanks for taking the time.
