LAIR Thread - * Rules: post #469

Now that you mention it, it reminds me of it aswell..

Allmost looks as good as this to

 

The Rogue games were pretty hit and miss! At the very least inconsistant!

Incognito/Singletrac games have consistantly been some of the most thoughtfully designed and downright fun games I've played since the Playstation 1 dropped.

And the short bits of gameplay I've seen from both unfinished games only strengthen my feelings on the matter.

 

Am I the only one that isnt really impressed? I dont think the gfx are that good looking and everything looks boring imo.

 

Can somebody explain why F5 used laser scanned maquettes when they ended up not even using the 3D data which is painfully obvious from these screenshots

 

The art is good, the tech is good, the detail is good, even the lighting is technically good... Yet when they all come together it looks it just doesn't look right. These are certainly less than the sum of their parts...

I think it's just the use of colour is a primary problem.. It's all mud


Where is the colour...?

 

It is always good to have Factor5 when you wan to promote a console from a technical point of view.

 

What an insane difference colors could make.

 

....

 

Nice! And scans, so will probably removed from this forum soon. Still ... Looking cool!

 

ppl who know me know im a huge fan of colorful stuff
but i see this not really fitting in with this game,
check out a lot of fantasy films like LOTR or this crap film about fighting dragons from a couple of years ago etc
in the fighting scenes, mordor etc the colors are very brownish, fitting a wasteland

 

Thanks for quoting Arwin hehe. This game is totally on my list again.

 

That's a pretty big boss if you ask me.

 

Possibly, however I'd also say one of Jackson's/weta's more subtle abilities is the use of colour. Lotr is actually very very vibrant, it's just the mood effects the filter and is often used to show decay, etc. All the main characters/races are very colourful (except the orcses ), gollum, for example - is almost always show in a blue light, theoden (is that his name?) goes from 'ice' to deep red and golds. Yet in those lair pics, there is an abundance of brown and grey. The sky for example, almost perfect grey.

Btw to clarify the photoshop job I did was on my laptop, which is under saturated, so I overdid it somewhat.

[edit]
Actually, now I look at the shots again - on a decent saturation monitor, it looks much better. So I guess ignore this - however I'll leave the post as is
My laptops saturation is quite terrible really

 

Thanks Graham ! Your picture is worth a thousand words. Now which Factor5 Email can we send your work to...

 

i don't have a link but i have already seen in september like said idsn6.Only in a different resolution : )

 

wow@ those pics. even though some of them if not all are from the old build, they still look fantastic in the sheer scale and the detail of models. i really hope factor5 would release the latest build. every inch of this game is filling every inch of my need for ps3.
apparently firingsquad is having a heavenly time with the game"the CES build".
"It has to be said up front; Lair is easily one of the best looking games we have ever seen. From the highly detailed character models of the dragon itself to the huge bridge level in the demo to the thousands of enemy soldiers to fry on the bridge to the photo realistic water, there is nothing to complain about in the visual department. Factor 5 is taking the PS3's hardware to town for Lair and that alone might make it worth a look."

 

sorry my bad, didnt realize it's a scan i linked. glad the mod removed it.
