That new video looks like crap to be perfectly honest. Garbage.
This game just got scratched from my launch list until further notice.

I understand your point, but it is kind of unfair to judge the end product of any launch game months before the console is released. Over the next two months they will be banging out the beta kit, so who knows what the end product will look like. All I'm saying is some people put to much into what the graphics and frame rate of games before they even get to beta kits.

you gotta wonder why they would even release this video
So you agree with me then about what has been shown for GR3?Acert93 said:The light is not passing through the leaves like the E3 video:
CGI (?) from E3 & New Shots
The reports at the time (none official though) was that the gameplay video from E3 was a CGI. It had HDR and some other effects that were not possible on the Alpha Kits, so either it was CGI or it was on a 6800U SLI setup like GOW.
If the current sreenshots are from the 360 then it appears that the E3 video was a render target using ingame assets. There is a world of difference from what was shown at E3 and the new pics/movies.
More importantly, why hasn't the media called Ubisoft out on this?

man you don't even have a clue where that screenshot came from.
if you watch the new video, crappy as it may be, the lighting is like the E3 video NOT like that screenshot, the sun passes through the leaves.
media hasn't called em out cause A) these are PC shots and B) the game has not been released

Nooo...
The media has not called out Ubi because Ubi did not tell the press over and over again, "This is what you will be playing... this is in the game... this is gameplay" etc when asked "Is this the real graphics of the game in realtime on the Xbox 360".
That is the distinction. Ubi, to my knowledge, never said, "This is realtime ingame footage rendered by the engine". They never set the bar and said, "This video is what the FINAL product will look like".

I am not judging it.
I am honestly inquiring into the differences. Obviously ALL the shots are "ingame" of some time (cut scenes or whatever). The problem is games usually look BETTER over time, not worse.
So the question I have is why did the game go from AAA+ quality to "Meh!" ??? Did they show a render target? Are they having problems porting? Is this PC stuff mixed in? What?
Obviously Ubi released the ORIGINAL E3 trailer to HYPE the game.
My question is: Was that a render target with the goal end product, a "hype" advertisement to get interest, or an artists impression somewhere inbetween using ingame assets, or was it actually in the engine.
We know very LITTLE about the game. But the media is the main stuff we know, so determining WHAT that media may say, and does not say, about the product we will play is important.
Am I gonna be playing the E3 trailer OR am I going to be playing the recent video. While not a graphics snob in general, I must admit that on games I may not generall play if they look AWESOME I will give them a try. GR3 and GOW are examples. Neither game by themselves interests me... but if they look as HOT as they do, well, I may have to give them a try!
It is like an action/effects movie. They may be brainless, but the really good looking ones with a lot of eye candy are fun
Same with games... I may not like GOW play style, but the eye candy may be so over the top it may not matter!All I know is I'm confused on the topic and Acert is feeding my confusion Miracle Grow.

1. There are 2 versions of GR3--PC and Xbox 360--and there are differences. We do not know how much though.
2. There is some confusion about what the game will look like. This confusion has been directly fed by Ubi's press imagesd at E3 and since then. Basically they are very different--same art assets, but completely different quality. The root of this confusion may be
a. PC and 360 shots being intermingled, with one looking a LOT better than the other
b. If the E3 footage was a render target to HYPE the game and/or give an impression of their goals
c.The differences are due to Alpha Dev kit footage, early builds, etc. where features have been turned off to bug test and optimize
d. E3 footage was a "compiled" video from the game engine and they are only now getting the engine up to real-time speed
e. A mixture of the above
f. None of the above
3. The read is a general discussion of the issue and looking for answers:
a. What will GR3 on the Xbox 360 look like.
b. And why is there a discrepancy in the photos?
4. And a poll to give your opinion based on what we know
Obviously there is a lot going on with this game. The E3 footage was just awesome. Ubi has been pretty closed lip on this title and has not offered much info... exciting titles generate interest.
As I am personally interested in this game I want to know more about it. If it looks like the E3 trailer sign me up (if it plays well)... if it looks like the new screen shots, meh.
I am just curious if this is going to be the title that makes me break down and buy a 360 before I see any PS3 software.
That is the jist
Where can I find the said 'new shots'? The official site only has the pic above in http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/4159/gr3sux5mb.jpg
This link has the latest batch of Xbox, Xbox 360, and PC screens.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The game is not done yet. They probably threw the extra texture and other stuff in the E3 video to show what the final product will look like. Guys remember they are still making the game.

They probably changed it. The wall texture is not the only thing that they have changed in the pic. Look at the soldier. Some things are changed. Didn't you guys notice that?
