Ninja Theory's new game: Enslaved

[SedentaryJourney]

Monkey? Another Journey to the West based project from the UK it seems.

I know, they're all the rage now. I blame the Beijing Olympics.

Let's shoot for a stable 30fps this time, eh?

With Unreal Engine 3 ?

 

[ihamoitc2005]

They're using UE3?

With Unreal Engine 3 ?

I didnt know that. I dont know any UE3 that has good 30fps and good graphics.

I don't know why I can't find good screens for Heavenly Sword. This video shows amazing graphics.

Did heavenly sword have tesselation or some kind of real-time curve approximations?

 

[Silent_Buddha]

I dunno, Gears 1 and 2 were pretty stable with regards to framerate and had some spectacular graphics, IMO.

I don't think its the game that looks bad as much as the images.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Very wrong choice for the engine ! They should shift to cryengine2 right now, if they r not too deep into production. UE3 is not for outdoors at all.

BTW, can anyone link smaller version of those images, please ! I can't see them on my htc !

They had an article in Edge, I thought the game looked pretty good. Nice colors!

cool stuff!
I like the fact that the new female character reminds me of Nariko - somehow cool!
Graphics are really good, I saw some pics in my local Game Mag with vast landscapes and stuff - the game is on my list.
I liked HS a lot with respect to gameplay, so I expect here a good game as well...but please, increase the SP playthrough length!!
Why don't devs bother with coop? I would not mind to have some "asymetric" coop gameplay: if the girl and Monkey play different, I see no point why this should stop me from having coop fun with a buddy?!

Nao hasn't been working at Ninja Theory since Heavenly Sword's release as far as I know. Neither is Deano there; he's the lead programmer on Brink I think.

 

[ultragpu]

Oh I see, well seems Ninja theory is doing pretty good non the less.

 

[Billy Idol]

It would be interesting to know, why they don't use the HS engine?
I thought the graphics where rather good, and from tech buzzwords they had: nao32 HDR, 4xAA, 720p and a very good amount of texture filtering...furthermore: it already works on the PS3, which is supposed to be the 'trouble maker' platform!!

If I remember correctly, they use now the Unreal3 engine (looking at the main character Monkey)...which seems to be more favorable for the Xbox360...some dev decisions make me really wonder!

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Maybe it's not as easy to port to the 360?

 

[JPT]

Maybe it's not as easy to port to the 360?

Or it belongs to Sony?

 

[Mr. Domino]

Or it belongs to Sony?

The IP? Yes, but not the engine ofcourse.

 

[London Geezer]

I'm confused. Didn't Sony buy Ninja Theory after releasing HS?

 

[Billy Idol]

Maybe it's not as easy to port to the 360?

I thought about this as well: their HDR method + 720p + 4xAA?!
Maybe they could not include tiling into their engine!?
But who really knows...

In Edge they said the tools for building levels and stuff were really crappy in their old engine, so that is one of the reasons.
