Heavenly Sword update (E3 cometh..)
- Thread starter Titanio
- Start date
fireshot said:Ye..yeah. But what does GOW have anything to do with Heavenly Sword? GOW may be 60fps but it is not as good as the best from the East - NG and DMC. That opinion has nothing to do with Heavenly Sword either.
oh. OH
.I don't know. I think its a pretty good game that stands up fine against the heavy weights
It's 30fps?!? That explains why I've always had this weird "rough around the edges" feeling when looking at the videos, and have actually wondered why all the praise on animation and graphics.
While they're very very good, to me they always lacked that something many other games had.
I guess I'm just one of those sensitive to framerate. I do hope they'll be able to pump the framerate up.

Side note, but will you guys be updating your own Heavenly Sword section of your site soon?
You should try to get Sony to let you put up new shots, from a newer build, than those released around E3. The E3 build itself was already looking better, it'd be nice to see it exactly as it is now Are the politics of screenshot selection and release really that complex with Sony PR?

Are you running without vertical sync? If so could that be an option for those that want to avoid tearing? I'd rather have fixed 30 than a variable higher framerate.
And yes to Titanio's request. I just visited Ninja Theory and thought the look is now cleaner, there's no screenshots from the original ones!

If you can keep it smooth and consistent, that'd be the icing on the cake! I know some people don't seem to mind so much, but in some games I can't get over the low frame rate, while others I can't get over the ranges in speed. No matter how good a game looks graphically, the moment the frame rate gets too low or variable it just ruins it for me. They just strike me as...shoddy I guess is the word I'd use. For me, console gaming is (supposed to be) all about keeping the smooth gameplay, and I lament the changes towards eyecandy over refresh rate that seem to have become more prevalent over the years. Especially in shooters. Sometimes framerates are so poor it's hard to keep tabs on what's happening.
I read somewhere on B3D that the Motorstorm (I think it was Motorstorm) update was FTP-ed to the show (from somewhere way off site) on the 2nd day so I'd assumed the games weren't running off the usual media.
Edit: It was Warhawk (relevant especially in this games case because of the implementation of the tilt control) - Thanks Shifty!
Edit No. 2: I think maybe I was thinking about the OS updates - the web browser shown etc... - Thanks to Bad_Boy too!
Edit No. 3: Thanks to XBD for reassuring me that I didn't just make something up!

Forgot where I read it, but the playable games on the show-floor run off rack-mounted dev-kits that can be updated (nightly) by the developers over the net. You can actually see 'em on the show floor. So the games should be on the hard disk me thinks. Cool huh ?
The presentations in the 8 (?) demo rooms run off "retail" PS3 boxes

Dunno about MotorStorm, but WarHawk was updated daily by downloads which is how they were able to tweak the motion control the night before showing.slider said:
New Screenshot
The original is at SCEE's PS3 site:

Though the above was rendered out at 1920x1080, the Edge preview specifically captions this as being in-game, and you can see aliasing etc. so that is believable (compared to some of the targets that were released).

Some of those jaggies look like they're upscaled to me, such as the leftmost edge of the left tower. These aren't the crisp single-pixel jaggies associated with native resolution renders. But that might be the result of a blurring/soften filter. And though it does look very nice, I was instantly drawn to the dodgy shadows on the right tower protrusions. There's a gap between the beams and their shadows. I know, I'm being picky, but when you're that good overall, those little problems start to stick out.
