Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

It's obvious why he and almost everybody else disagrees. It's probably better you explain why this is not impressive to you, giving some examples of games on the market now that are more impressive in this genre.

Btw, you probably picked the wrong username. Definitely not eagle-eye vision qualities here...

 

Bland textures, low geometry level, average lighting...
You can check the locked thread for my thoughts on what game looks better.

Yours on the other hand seems pretty fitting

 

As far as I am concerned you two should switch user names. Now please get back on topic already? For what it's worth, it's fine with me to discuss the quality of the graphics of this game, but do it in detail, and in a civilised manner. It may also be wise to await some more reliable screens ...

 

My impressions from the scans:

The lighting, shadows, texture work are absolutely awesome. It seriously looks so smooth and CG-ish like from the old trailer. Also, the foliage is reminiscent of Uncharted's . The big screen with a big rainbow at the top that seriously made me a nut twice. It's one of the best next-gen screens I've ever seen (now LBP is far beyond). Not a jaggie in sight. It looks so smooth and cg cartoon-like. Abd all of the enemies look equally as insane, as well as the structures and buildings. This game looks a step above everything I've seen (except for BLP).

 

First. We don't know if the AA is real or simply BS, like in most of the screens these days. The lighting is tryly average, I mean, the shadows are directly below the characters. We're not in the N64 era anymore. You can also see polygon edges everywhere, it's not CG smooth at all. Same with the environments. They're not really very complex and are plagued with bland textures. If this is truly the best looking game you have seen, you need to check more games

 

Maybe I (and the simple human people) need a eagle vision to see what you see

 

Same here. I had seen the scans, and even the Zinio digital copy of the mag, but only got my actual paper & ink copy yesterday. It truly does look great/amazing, though not to such a degree that I'm wondering how it could ever possibly be done in realtime or anything. It's not as some of the crazies on other forums claim with "not a poly edge in sight!"

I really like the art in the game. The style they're using for the trees makes them seem like they've popped fully formed from an awesome 2D game (i.e., in a good way). Everything from the metal surfaces, to the characters, to the trees and vegetation look great. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the glossy rocks seen on page 64. I can't wait to see it in motion, but those rocks just conjure up mental images of slimy hallways in Doom 3. I might be the only one, though.

And very different from Kameo, like Bad_Boy said.

 

Very impressive. Cant wait to see this in motion...

 

cant wait

 

Looks awsome

 

Umm, I always imagined Ratched as a furry critter. He looks like a reptile in these shots, talk about ruining childho.. errr.. twentyager fantasies

 

The graphics could be a function of the draw distance and such....

Just take a look at crackdown cartoony graphics but with a real twist. That game uses them to give a insane draw distance. And the graphics on Ratchet and Clank still look good, and with resistance the graphics came later in the development, so maybe they will here (or we can hope )

 

I'd need to see it in motion. The style is good, and the technical IQ is there, but everything's so cluttered it's hard to make out. A spot of subtle DOF would help too.

 

Just a heads up: Full Moon Show #02 is up, and clocks in at almost 2 hours. A "big" special guest, supposedly. Currently listening, though I've only managed to get 2 minutes into it so far. Heh.

Re-linked Here

Edit: Well, I've only REALLY just started serious listening now. It's boring up until 9:00 minutes in, but then it just kicks into overdrive (if you're into the development update style stuff, that is =D ). Good stuff so far, tools of destruction/construction, cinematics, and so on.

Edit 2: It's Mr. God of War Himself! 30 minutes with Dave, with tons of stuff like what he would have done with Resistance, and some Calling All Cars stuff. Some discussion with some industry guys about keeping games closer has resulted in some new stuff that may or may not make it into the final build.

Why IS Ratchet not as furry as Conker? Who would have guessed what the answer was!

And anybody who wants to see R&C Future in motion should tune into the 1Up Show tomorrow (Surprise! Nobody saw it coming. So swears nobody).

 

Lots of screens from 1up:

 

New?
