Maybe though Warhead got nice glare alike that. Also FC2 on PC. Depends on bloom strength adn some other variables in TOD files.

I think it has to do with the size of the bloom's edge. In CE2 it's very small. Here it bleeds out more. Reminds me of Trico's bloom.

Depends on how it looks in motion could be due to lower res bloom effect or different kernel.

Cant check out video right now but images looks like Halo 3. Dunno how they afford such engine to just deliver these visuals that overall looks far worse than UT3.

EDIT: OK sorry read it is only for PS3/360? Strange considering how easy it would be to make it for PC since it aint the lowest common denominator.

Not really. I dont know where the information comes from that its running on Cryengine, it has its own engine and the site doesnt hint about using a different one for consoles.

Ahahahaha, kinda funny if you think about how it came to be. Nexuiz appears to be the Opensource-Eliteist only argument for OS gamedevelopment.
They allowed Illfonic to port it to consoles (licensing engine and assets under non-GPL for them), with the argument that engine improvements will be ported back.. or something like that. And a few months later Illfonic drops the sparkling hope of OS-engines for a proprietary one.

Its a downloadable game, for Psn and Xbla. And potentially steam too (Says so on the youtube video).

In motion it's actually looking really nice for a Psn/Xbla title.

[brain_stew]

Well the art is kinda ugly but the lighting in them shots and the video in particular looks fantastic. Its quite a good advert for the engine if a rookie startup with less than 10 staffers can reach that level of quality in just 3 months. How many XBLA titles do you see challenging the top games on the console graphically? How could a team like that hope to deliver anything close to that level of technology without UE3/CE3 or similar? Framerate looked smooth as well. Hopefully its the first of many.

Popin/LOD looks pretty aggressive but I think that's to be expected.

Seems like as if there are some more pictures available:

There are a few videos and screenshots on the site (CE3). Nothing fancy but interesting maybe.

[Squilliam]

Thats quite the list. It all makes sense now... it isn't really a game engine first and foremost as much as it is a simulation engine.

[Neb]

Take that HATERS, simulation engine... S-I-M-U-L-A-T-I-O-N!

New stuff...lookin cool!

Other than the nasty screen tear its pretty much what I expected it to look like on consoles.

That probably explains why the games they produce are so mediocre. It's all about simulation not stimulation!

Why did they turn off SSAO Looks really bad with such basic lighting...great goemetry and shadows though.

There's AO at 1:19. It looks like they jacked up the ambient lighting, so it's messing with everything.

Spock plz? xD Well, nevermind..., sometimes you know a lot of cool concepts that I can't quite grasp and I have yet to see that AO -ambient occlusion- at 1:19.

You are a very-well educated person as most of the staff here, so that's it.

[N_B]

The white rectangle things really show it between the green ceiling and white walls.

[AlStrong]

The radius is pretty tight in the video, but then it's also pretty heavily compressed.

On a side note, their SSAO is based off of this: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~loos/publications/vo/

Thats Dharavi, the biggest slum of Mumbai, and I think the world too, not sure about that. Not really a replica though. Once you go inside those byelanes, only an insider can get you out. Have had that experience :P ! Its pretty dark in those lanes even during day. Lotsa mini factories inside and a den of software piracy. Not so bright and sunny as shown in this video, though.
