Fatal Inertial Screens.

[AlexV]

Since it`s UE3 I wouldn`t hold my breath for AA support. And those jaggier shots are a bit different from the ones which are jaggy-free/marketing targeted, as far as my poor eyes can distinguish

 

[pipo]

Looking fine. Let's hope its a good game too.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Looks like all they have done is add'd motion blur.

Check some of the older screens to see how weak the terrain was. Low poly-count and poorly textured. The lighting was embarrasing, quite frankly, with the vehicles looking pasted over a different render and not composed at all believably. It's definitely progress.

Your correct, looking at the old screens it really shows the difference, i retract my old statment

 

[hey69]

the first pic has awesome lightning. its like i'm flying trough the forests of germany in realtime (we need a drool icon here )

 

[PiNkY]

Wow way improved I'd say. The backdrops in in the first and last pics look too god to be true though (first one may be a skybox texture, though).

hmmm i dont understand its like 2 different games within a month
so either
A/ theyve been playing with us
B/ theyre bullshots
C/ the ps3 is shipping with a nv8x
is it just me but certain ps3 games are looking MUCH better recently (which lends weight to C , still IMO unlikely though ), on that extrapolation i wonder what the naughty dog game look like, a hollywood film!

btw best use of hdr evar, wrt either ABC

edit -- to quantify my remarks it still looks like crap
eg this shot is so wrong

IGN has 720p screens:

Anyway, it's looking really great, has come along in a big way. Will be interesting to see video and/or how it plays at TGS.

Oh. Thats quite different then Thanks.

It doesn't take an nv8x to produce these visuals.

I choose answer D/ They've got the real game assets in place rather than old placeholders, and an improved lighting engine.

I think you tried to qualify your remarks.

But please do try to quantify exactly what you do not like about that screenshot.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

The sand looks too dark and too lumpy, as though the lightsource is on the far left and very bright, which doesn't fit the overall scene at all.

 

[Nesh]

Looks very very nice. Taking into consideration this is relying on speed and open environents I see no reason why we should complain about the graphics.

 

[ZiFF]

Epic was like UE3 is *not* a launch title engine..

But KOEI is improving.

That shot is from the previous batch last month.

 

[Angelcurio]

THe boulder textures are really good in this shot:

I really hope to see this kind of improvement in motorstorm.

BTW, check this tow pictures, one is from the pre-rendered target video and the second from the actual game. I think they surpassed their target:

Well at least there aren't as many "two types of bushes, lit in exactly the same way" any more.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I really hope to see this kind of improvement in motorstorm.

I think we have already seen a pretty good improvement in motorstorm, but we have yet to see it in motion on a more recent build. Screens never did that game justice.

I'm more interested in seeing how warhawk is looking these days, it's been 4+ months since we last saw it.

 

[TrungGap]

This could be a PDZ of PS3.

This could be a PDZ of PS3.

Huh?

I don't think Fatal Intertia has surpassed the prerendered vids, but it does look quite remarkably better than it ever has before.
