New to me and you MP3 Corruption Trailer. WOW!
- Thread starter Ooh-videogames
- Start date
what did you see that i did not see?
-edit-
nevermind, i found the file elsewhere. it is pretty impressive looking, but i think most of it is because this is the first time i've seen decent quality video. lots of nice effects, but really nothing that hasn't been done on GC. just with more frequency.

I honestly cannot tell a difference from MP1, which is the only one i have. Maybe you could point out some differences?
edit: I wrote this with the caveat that I think MP1 looks great. I don't have a problem with GC fidelity graphics, as long as they can all run progressive scan.

Link has been fixed for your viewing pleasure.
Ok, the poly count seems to be up marginally, the lightning has been improved over MP2. But otherwise it doesn't look that much better.
A few things I noticed though were that the controls were kind of jerky. The guy playing sometimes used auto-lock because he couldn't hit his target. Supposedly this is due to unadjusted sensitivity in the menus, though.

it looks overall cleaner then MP1, better textures, better lighting, more poly's... and there's a scene with a monster who has plasma or something leaking out of his joints and there's localised heat distortion around those areas. same effect we've seen on the GC, but it's all over the screen now, instead of being used here and there.pakotlar said:
ditto to what Urian said - your memories of mp1/2 looking nice skew your judgements. you need to see the original and then the trailers from e3.
mp1, though nicely looking, does not have such a sophisticated lighting system (though it does have abunds of vertex lighting). from what i've seen so far from the e3 trailers mp3 puts halo2 to shame (before anybody jumps the gun - that's just my highly subjective, personal opinion). mp1/2, again, though an artistic masterpiece and a bold technological achievemnt for its time, is not as good. clearly.

What I saw of the third trailer the vertex lighting was very obvious (ball along tunnels with irregular sized triangles making up the tunnel background) and was far from any modern lighting techniques. Why would they use such a simple method there if they have better available?darkblu said:

yes, in the 4th trailer they have apparent vertex lighting. but if you also pay attention you'll see that the various light sources interact with everything within their reach, which for some of them is not short either - it was very apparent in the original long trailer in the big hall before the meta ridley encounter where the player had a ball puzzle section, and everthing was illuminated at every moment by at least a couple of lights simultaneously (scene's, ball, and then drones barrage and what not). vertex lighting IMO is alright for environments, and in some cases it's the only viable approach - when you have to choose 'will the environment be lit by few per-pixel lights or tons of vertex lights' - pixel lights normally cost passes, unless the number of lights is hardcoded in the fragment shader (in which case it'd be a fixed (high) price, unless you have dynamic flow clontrol).

Looks pretty nice to me, need to see a better quality trailer to really tell.
The wii-mote certainly doesn't seem to be helping much though, the guy has to use lock on most of the time, the reticle seems to be all over the place.

I'm hoping for higher resolution textures, some seem a little low. Animation looks great though. Overall it looks WOW for me.
