New Huxley Screens (1up preview)
- Thread starter expletive
- Start date
Slow down man, did I infer they'd have a trouble to make it look roughly equivalent to the PC version?Hardknock said:
I just pointed out the contrast between what Nesh felt by these 360 screenshots and what 1up felt by the 360 version, that's all, no evaluation of image quality or whatsoever of those screenshots for myself.If I have only one thing to note about this preview article, it's that they are playing catch-up to the PC version for a UE3 game. Frame City and Gears of War have no PC version so there was nothing to measure how far the UE3 is optimized to Xbox 360.

And you would expect otherwise when the PC version is coming out 6 months earlier?

"the PC version scheduled for release at the end of this year and the 360 version on the way roughly six months after that"
Oh, so you meant the PC version is more complete just because it's released earlier and the Xbox 360 version has been left unoptimized because all guys are working on the PC version? As I replied to Hardknock in the post above I associated why they release the Xbox 360 version later with the single-player campaign exclusive to Xbox and because they seem to rely on XNA and UE3 as the article expletive quoted suggests the porting work should not bother them much.scooby_dooby said:
But as I don't know how much graphics work is handled by the Unreal Engine 3 and how much by user code, I'd like to hear someone familiar with those engines. Besides I'm not sure where Hardknock got the idea that "the game started first on the PC and they just recently started the 360 version" so I welcome clarification for that too.
...how about, what does it matter which platform they began on? Anyways, here is an interview you can read.
Huxley is being built on XNA, so that means interoperability between Windows and XBOX platforms.

Ya well, the PC version must ship in presumably 6-8 months, whereas the 360 version has 12-14+ months before being finished. So it makes alot of sense to me that the PC version would be looking alot more final at this stage.
With that said, those shots look better than anything we've seen from Huxley so far, so maybe the screens aren't representative of the build that 1up played, or maybe the graphical problems where framerate related, the screen themselves certainly look as good(I would say better) as any of the previous PC screens we've seen.
What I'm not sure is "they just recently started the 360 version" this "just recently started" part. They can use familiar PC environment for their prototyping, but the part you quoted doesn't suggest how long they have been cooking up the Xbox 360 version actually. In the old interview A176 providedexpletive said:
they took it for granted that they have the Xbox 360 (then Xbox 2) version. In the 1up preview they test network interoperability. Anyway back to my original point, I was not talking about this particular game, but UE3. Frame City was delayed, Gears of War was delayed, it's not clear how it's going now.

No doubt that you can quickly make a port since it is made with UE3, but that does not mean that it will 100% optimized. For example we still don't know if they have incorporated predicated tiling to the UE3, so for sure there are optimizations that can be done on the UE3 that are specific for xbox360.
Anyway, what is this about GOW being delayed? I havn't heard that before, when is it now comming out?...
