New High-Res Gears of War Screens

[scooby_dooby]

No confirmation if these are in-game or not, they look like captures from cut-scene's using the in-game engine

looks about the same besides the side burns, looks like he just got a shave in the second pic

BTOA: and your point is.....what?
one's lit by moonlight, the other is lit by blast from the gun-muzzle.
also, one is zoomed out much more that the other...

anyways...look at that blood!!!! whoa

Why the super-doopa-doopa highres? If these were ingame wouldn't they be limited to 720p?

Blood looks surprisingly complex. Like Metaballs. Good to see.

 

[dukmahsik]

this must be super high res and sped up from 5fps

Just noticing the difference in detail, but it could be Cliff add some effects so that GoW doesn't have a plastic look.

shifty - That's a good question, all we know is MS and Epic decided to release these today, maybe they'll be found in an upcoming print publication???

Most likely a small counter to the MGS video. Kinda like, "oh ya? Well look at OUR cutscenes!" that's my guess...

one more, obvious cut-scene:

The lighting looks much more subtle from the previous GoW stuff I've seen. Unfortunately I can't explain it or offer much more than that.
I do remember a recent vid (one of the low quality ones from IGN I think) and the muzzle flash was as unsubtle as can be. Lighting up the surrounding area, and in particular the faces, in uniform bright-ness-ti-city. This is much better.

 

[dukmahsik]

this game looks really promising, now hopefully Epic can create a great atmosphere in the game as well

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Now isn't it a counterstrike here?

More polished texture work, very very nice skin shader, and they've already added some atmospheric effects... Time to work on the particles? The lowpoly models are very evident in the first shot though.

behold the PS3 version

I read at teamxbox forums that the reason the pictures are so big is to be used in magazines, but they also are real time.

Those screens are amazing, i wonder if that's from the final dev kit.

That blood can't be in-game, can it? GoW is the title with the sad fire effects, last I checked.

 

[Neeyik]

Can I remind people to not post huge images - put them up as links, so that they don't wreck the forum layout. It's also polite to give the link to the source of the images, rather than just the images themselves.

Yeah, I thought the same, but if you look at the videos you can see the blood squirt out like that. It's hard to tell since the videos are so small and the enemies so far away, but it's very much the same, I'm almost 100% positive.

it looks almost too good to be true to me too, , but when you watch gameplay the blood does spurt like that, but we've always seen it from 50 yards away, if that's what it looks like up close, wow...

 

[mckmas8808]

Yep blood should be real in the actual game. And it looks nice too. Yum!:smile:

 

[blakjedi]

the bumpmapping-ness-ti-city of the second pic along with the complex geometry of the armor is really high quality. I actually dont believe those come from in-game models but rather art assets from which the lower complexity in-game models are derived.
