New Ninja Gaiden Sigma Pics

[Ben-Nice]

Too many to post. Here's the link. Is it possible to have zero jaggies?

Very nice looking game.

And before people start bashing Ben-Nice; the new pics are on pages 2 and 3. Almost fell for that one myself.

But to my eye those look like bullshots. Lots of AA applied, which (sadly) I doubt will be in the final product.

PS3 "should" be able do "some" AA to the graphics, but yeh those seem to be PR shots.

Umm no they are not. Added Dec 19th is on pages 1,2, and 3.

I'm more impressed by DMC4. Partially because I believe the DMC4 shots are probably more... acurate.

 

[groper]

very impressive character models but i cant say the same for the environments.

 

[Capeta]

Since this game is basically a port of the Xbox NGB, it makes sense that it looks about the same as the Xbox version. You can't really expect it to look like NG2 for Xbox360.

Looks very very nice, they havent gone mad with the bump mapping which is what i like

 

[AlNom]

Is that a big gun or is the boss-dude just extremely happy to see Ryu in tight rubber?

Umm no they are not. Added Dec 19th is on pages 1,2, and 3.

Most of the ones on page 1 have been released on the internet before. There are new ones mixed in though AFAICT.


Looks like they redid the Murai's model or texturing at the least. The skin looks smoother, and the face is different slightly too. I'm liking the depth of field effect too because it makes it look more... cinematic.

Whoa... check out the blood in this shot:

And he's certainly a huge improvement:

The detail in the ghost characters, and I guess every character, is also very much improved. One thing's for sure, this isn't going to be any half-assed port.

I think I gotta agree here. These shots look great, and it's obvious it's not just a crap port up as Alstrong also pointed out, but I can't help but think once you get over the bullshot amuonts of AA in there and other touch ups, I think DMC4 looks just as good if not better. Not trying to bring even more comparisons to the table, but honestly, I think HS is even more technically impressive than both of them. But don't get me wrong, these images look pretty good. Looking forward to seeing it in motion.

If you see the ign shots the game does not seem to use more than 4xAA. The jaggies are apparent.

If you ever see a PS3 game that has more then 4xAA id start to worry about the graphics, PS3 just does'nt have the bandwidth to run 6xAA+ with decent quality IMHO.

Yum, I think this is the best looking PS3 game I've seen so far

I wouldn't go that far, but it does look great.

I suppose thats subjective, but I gotta say I'm not super impressed with it. Looks great, yes. But better than some other titles might be pushing it imo. I might be reaching myself when say that technical aspects of it look only a little better than genji 2 (graphics, not gameplay of course). Next gen wise, I think HS is far more impressive.

Don't get me wrong though, this does look great so I'll stop with the comparisons.

edit: beaten by mckmas8808.

 

[scooby_dooby]

Next gen wise, I think HS is far more impressive.

I dunno, looking at the character models, this just blows HS away. Granted HS has the flowing hair on the main character, but when you look at poly count, or textures, this is better imo.

I guess HS does have FAR more enemies on screen, which probably accounts for the lower quality character models.

Personally id say that Heavenly Sword looks more Next Gen the NG:S

I'll give you higher poly/detailed character models, but thats about it. Like you said, you have free flowing hair/clothing, and more enemies on screen but more technical stuff that makes it even better imo. Tone/parallax mapping, shaders (see the gold armor on the andy serkis king, or metalic look on the swords), dynamic shadowing, HDR lighting (nao32 IIRC), physics on enemies(see the GDC HS tech demo)/weapons/environment, volumetric clouds/explosions, arguably better animation, etc. Like almighty said, it's just overall a more next gen game. Which I suppose makes sense, since one is a port.

That said, I take nothing away from NGS, and it still looks great to me.

 

[DigitalSoul]

Both look great, imo. However, I think HS has nicer lighting thus creating a more interesting visual look. NGS does have a lot of little detail in the character models though. Also, Lets not forget we are still waiting for the latest build of HS.
