Amped 3 for Xbox 360

[mckmas8808]

I think this game looks ok. I couldn't get any sound though.

Honestly, it looks like a Xbox game in 720p.

 

[PARANOiA]

Agreed, could be much better.

Out of curiosity, does anyone remember the Amped shots pre-Xbox release which were touched up with generic Photoshop effects (eg, lens flare)? A classic.

What is there to add to a game that is mostly...snow?

A lot really. People just have to use their imagination.

 

[AlNom]

examples?

I have no imagination for a game that is focused on one player going down some black diamond. I suppose you could add a ton of people in the area, but that's not a focus. Spectators are at the bottom of the mountain... and so are animals and most trees.

 

[Tap In]

this game isn't about graphics (what's there is nice looking) but it's about CONTROL and style and on line LIVE play and net code (spectator mode maybe?) and sound and feel and maybe even a good physics model.

None of which are measured in screen shots.

its using a supped up xbox engine . which is why it looks like an xbox game in a higher res

 

[Tap In]

I can imagine some kickazz particle effects and snow powder in the air.

 

[Tap In]

one more there, hope this is not too big.

 

[mckmas8808]

I can't wait to see the real version. I wonder what SSX next gen will look like?

 

[AlNom]

so....imagination, mckmas

 

[Acert93]

Meh.

Needs more particles.

Also, the pic Tap In posted: The Rock/Snow transitions are really poor IMO for next gen. Smeared pixilation... ewww! The background mountains look flat and undetailed as well.

This looks like a hi res Xbox port as JVD noted. If it plays well and has great features the graphics suffice... but judging only the graphics I would have to say I am not impressed.

Also: Where are the trees?

 

[BTOA]

So gamers can expect most first wave Xbox360 games to be high res xbox games. I think I'll hold off for more impressive games to show up, before dropping some cash on a Xbox360.

Amped 2 was a hi-res xbox game.

Good god, what u mean you can't get any better? Yes it's snow, but does that snow look like real snow? No. Even the rock bits look flat. Next gen consoles will be able to do much better than that. I can even see flat polygon edges on the terrain! On machines that can push more polygons than pixels in a frame!

Really, it can only get better until we get this in realtime:

So let's stop with this "what more can you do with a game set in snow environments" nonsense.

You can always improve on everything in life.

the particales in the first shot would kill either next gen system ... just those particals alone not taking into account anything else in the scene

Obviously, i wasn't talking about next gen consoles Jeeves, i was talking in terms of what can be achieved in the future.

WTF, I'm actually asking!

Yeah... manners would be one thing. Or how about not jumping on people for asking questions. If arrogance is an improvement to life, I'll stay right where I am now then.
