Gears of War Pics - Direct Feed in game

Huh? Whats your problem. Ok I get your point but you took my statement and made it a big issue.

I was carried away by the visual splendour. Nothing more nothing less

 

IIRC a gamespot previewn said ~6 hours gameplay + MP, that is really low for a game (wouldnt never buy it for full price) but at least it will not let you enter into the tedium (the worst way ).

 

Hi guys,

How large are the battles we will see in this game (e.g. how many allies and enemies will we be able to see/fight at the 1 time? Would be awesome to have some allies fighting a whole bunch of those alien type creatures, trying to outflank them and such.

Sorry if it's a stupid question!.

 

Bump - 'new' IGN trailer thing up on Live.

 

hmm that IGN trailer was from E3. It might be new on Xbox live, but I remember downloading that months back.

 

Correct. The quality is very bad by the way.

 

6 Hrs???

LOL

I hope for epic's sake that this figure is grossly inaccurate..

EDIT:

6 hrs is the time it takes to play through Half Life 2: Episode 1, which was marketed as "episodic content"..

Hey maybe GoW will be announced to be episodic too wid part 2 coming in 2008..?

lol (ignore me..)

 

There was an interview around E3 time which included the following --

Nothing else really worth mentioning, but that was the one thing I could find from Epic about the gameplay time.

 

Sorry, but the only shots that really seem realtime to me are the ones with visible hud, and some of them really look horrible, like this one:

 

Sorry to dissapoint, Cliffy B on Neogaf said they're all real. And I don't believe Epic has ever relesed fake/cgi/whatever pics.

 

They're real ok, as I can see them and I'm not hallusinating.
What's a bit odd though that the quality of graphics seems to vary much more with every batch of screenshots that I can recall being with any other game.
Agreed, the level might be a different one in that last pic posted and the lighting in that level more harsh, but there's still a significant difference in AA and quality of lighting, textures and shaders.
It's ok though I guess, as all will be forgotten soon once the game is in the hands of the players.

 

Well, after all that's been "pointed out to be ingame", I think I've become a little sceptical, and I'n not talking just about that by that company.
Edit: and I'm sure that company isn't that much worse when it comes to these matters than the other companies​

 

It's time they show some proper (ingame) gameplay videos of this game. I only seen some small ones.

 

I understand your skepticism. It is afterall one of the best (if not the best) looking games demonstrated to date. Only a couple more months till we get some live action with this puppy.

 

You're welcome, I do try my best to be critical instead of an open empty vessel to all marketing speak.

 

I agree, the shots do look good (well, the most (selected) of them),
and the videos I've seen don't look too bad either, although a bit lacking in the animation maybe (which will be fixed according to).
Haven't quite seen the quality of those most "posed" shots in the videos though, but that might be just because the internet videos in general a a bit crappy when it comes to image quality and that those particular cutscenes haven't yet been videoed.

While I wouldn't say "the best", they're certainly there among the best of class.
To me personally it's the art that drops it from the top 5.
