From California based Boanerges Studios comes a totally original IP called Armageddon. The game will be an FPS set to debut on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

A short description of the game on Boanerges Studios website:

Armageddon (working-title) is an exciting story driven FPS set in the end times. In the near future much of the world unites under a multi-national government. This new age marks the end of man's separatist ways, and anyone who is unwilling to surrender their heritage for the greater good is an outlaw, to be systematically hunted down and exterminated.

Choose to join the rebellion and fight the enemy against all odds, or join the world's most lethal military machine as it sets out to eradicate the opposition from the face of the planet. Battles occur in real-world locations with fast paced customizable vehicle combat and friendly squad A.I. A random sub-mission system provides a unique experience every time a map is played, framing online and offline gameplay rich with content and impressive level design.

I hope they will improve the engine, at now it looks old gen
 
ok, at this time, Black on xbox1 is 1000 times better, but I think that those are pics from unfinished engine, if not, there are some problems..

I don't understand from which version are they taken
 
Looks like early test shots; there isn't much in the way of lighting. Kinda reminded me of quick renders in 3DS. I hope this is shooting for a 2007 release. ;)

I like the gun :p
 
Oh come on people, sure this doesn't look like a UE3 game, sure it's not all shiny (way overdone on most of today's games anyway), sure a couple of shots are so dark you can't actually see anything, but just the fact that all the shapes are nicely rounded with no sharp polygonal edges makes this look better than Counter Strike or even Black on Xbox, like someone mentioned. That's before talking about the IQ.

Sure, it can look better, and i'm sure it will improve, but let's keep a critical mind without bashing a game too much with silly comparisons.

Surely we should be sure to know that you can only be sure of the surety that you can never be sure of anything... ;)
 
nicely rounded? :LOL:

I can see a lot of square polys
look at the arms of the model, or at the envirorment, I don't see anything "nicely rounded"

and oh, we can't compare two FPS games, because london-boy says that this is silly

I repeat, they will surely improve, but at this time, Black on xbox1 (whis is a old gen hardware) is 1000 times better looking than this shots

nobody is claiming this game is in the same in the league with counter strike, since it's announced as a ps3/360 game, even at this stage it is on a different league than 2-3 years old games. What some people including me are saying at this stage of development, the visuals are reminding them 3-4 year old titles that they have played on much inferiror systems.

As an example, most of the 360 looks "current gen" to most people because the upgrades that "next gen" versions (higher resolution.better lighting effects..etc) remain barely noticeable to avarage gamer and don't really enhance the visual experience that much even if the improvements that "next gen" versions have would not be possible to achive on "current gen" hardware. So these armegeddon shots might have much better geometry and much better effects than 2-3 year old games that ppl have mentioned, it still does remind me of counter-strike pre source days. I'm sorry if my opinions are offensive to anyone, i'm just speaking my mind.

Also ,I know this game is in early stages of development and it's not fair to judge a game visually by these alpha shots but still, i think these shots look worse than "dissapointing" pdz shots that were released during E3 05 and worse than any other next gen "alpha" shots i have ever seen.

Yeah, the roof of that house is totally not rounded! CS quality!!11oneoen!1eleventy1!!

Come on dude, get real here for a second and stop being such a you-know-what. Look at the soldier's helmet, or the radio antenna. There's certainly not a LACK of polys on either of those. I see nothing to complain about in that picture, considering it's still under development. The trollish comments of you and several other posters are completely uncalled for.
 
Is this the same board where people bashed Gears of War because the raindrops didn't appear to splash into the mud?

What's wrong with commenting on how obviously sub-par these screens look?

I guess if you figure CoD2 looks sub-par also then this game is that as well, with the difference this game isn't actually finished yet!
 
This game actually has some nice things under the hood. IIRC, this is a game that intends to really push Cell on the physics front. There's an old vid of this game from E3 or some time there after.

In that video, they showcased particle based physics or rather physics on particles. What happened is that a soldier ran through a wift of smoke and the smoke twirled and dispersed as he ran through it. It was dog slow back then but pretty cool looking all the same. I'm trying to find that vid now on my HD if I still have it.
 
I have the vid be it's really not worth uploading. It's a vid of a very early build of the game and it shows. It's an old Nv news vid where they're talking to an Aegia fellow and he goes on to talk about what their PPU would allow for and how it would allow physics like I mentioned before to be possible on the PC platform with it.

The pics in this thread look better than the visuals in the vid so at least the game has made some progress since then.
