Image Quality and Framebuffer Speculations for WIP/alpha/beta/E3 games *Read the first post*

Those turned out to be PS3 FFXIII shots, slightly altered (button swapped basically) ironically. Someone made a post about this in the games forum. SE will release some proper screens later on.

yes they were, though i don't see a couple of those shots being the ones circulating.

Inside of MS's x10 convention they were running retail builds in all of there 360s demonstrating the game..........it sucks that no one was thinking that they just missed their chance to make some captures, a few crisp snap shots taken from a HD cam would have helped.:cry:

the only evidence of what the 360 version looks like is in these two vids.

not much help. i don't know when will SE start releasing these shots, there's people around the net already claiming they already beaten that version when SE hasn't even mentioned that started sending out the shipments, and as of yet no Europe/US reviewer has published any reviews of it.

being left in the dark is not my favorite occupation.:nope:

hmmmm, is this true?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19857881&postcount=12055

the shots at teamxbox were VERY compressed, it's possible they were taken from lesser size images and blown up. it looks way worse than the last expo that was showing gameplay at E3, that was 720p.

if it's true that it is sub hd then SE did a wayyy worse job than any company has ever done on the history of ps3 to 360 ports.

If you look area around jaw of a behemoth you can see clear evidence of point sampled scale to 1280x720 in which resolution the GUI is rendered.
Did they actually prefer the look of point sampling instead of proper bilinear scaling or just forgot to turn it on?

Anyway it is big reason why the images look bad.

but.....?????

hold up.

this one is in there too right?

it's part of the new batch, it's 720p, but still suffers from bad compression.

i think i know what happened, only 1 or 2 shots are really 720p of the batch and teamxbox took the rest and blew them up. cause all i see is a lot of horrid picture upscaling. definitely not something that was taken directly from a capture card.

as for the ground textures...i think that's why they look so bad in the other shot.

take a look at this, taken from that Leona_Lewis vid.

doesn't match up.

Two of the pictures from the 360 version have a mouse cursor over them; can someone tell me how could that happen?

Supposedly there will be another batch of good 360 shots. It looks like the last batch was captured in a hurry and they didn't use the 360 devkit to take the shots but it could be that someone at IGN messed up the shots while putting their watermark in(TeamXbox and IGN same company.). I don't think there will be any change in res though. The quality will likely be better but I can't imagine that the res will be different.
 
Spanish screen have weird res.
Cutscene at 720p

All other screens at a lower res but not by much.

still appears to be sub-hd but I'm not a pixel counter.

Oh and shouldn't this be considered unavilable? Only like two people on this forum have played it without having to import it.
