Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater 3D Or first 3DS graphical hint.

[DeadlyNinja]

Gamecube with normal mapping? We don't know the specs, but it sure looks better than the PS2 game.

Looks fantastic. I am absolutely sold on the 3DS right now, no questions asked. It looks marvelous. Beautiful hardware, and great software. This is how you do it.

 

[Gitaroo]

only the price of the hardware that I need to know.

 

[DeadlyNinja]

I need to know the battery life.

 

[L. Scofield]

Where's the normal mapping?

 

[SG79]

The PS2 game had normal mapping?

I think it's in reference to something DeadlyNinja said about this game in the RE/SF4 thread.

 

[RudeCurve]

Wow it looks really good. I'd say it's about GC level graphics with lower polygons.

Someone's off-screen recording of the demo.

WOW

Kojima Production is doing wonders lately.

I also saw a tweet at Digital Foundry that MGS Rising is running at 60fps.

I wonder what the hardware spec is? Its got to be quite impressive, considering the 3D has to add quite a lot of extra work for the GPU.

If only people cared enough to read the other thread to read what various developers are hinting at such as having dedicated video memory.

 

[Teasy]

I'd already read the other thread.

I'd heard a rumor that it's using this integrated chipset from nvidia called the Tegra, which is being used in smartphones. It's an ARM11, and the video hardware has programmable pixel and vertex units.

That is impressive for a handheld unit but how about the price?

The rumor's been disregarded a few weeks before E3. They're probably using something from a Japanese company. Who, we don't know.

Where's the normal mapping?

Umm, in all the screen shots I posted? There's normal mapping everywhere.

Ive only seen the screenshots at the top, but this looks like something on a PSP or even worse.
From a quick ggogle I believe the following is from MGS on the ps2

I dont see how the above screenshots are better than the ps2 version like someone said.

 

[Teasy]

You mean you really can't see the difference in detail??

 

[zed]

Well theres quite a few differences in the above screenshots

ps2 has some limited shadows, 3ds doesnt
ps2 has higher polygon count
ps2 has higher resolution

ok had a search for a similar outside screenshot from the ps2

to me the nds is not looking better than the ps2 game
