Thanks for helping these people understand the origins of this stuff Kb. (I'd rep ya but I have to 'spread more around' first)
This is a better link to the thread though, you linked to an old part of the thread.

OH guys while you are at psinext forum you HAVE to check out the Ridge racer 7 thread.
Not only is Resistance technically uninspiring (PS2.5 anyone? j/k), it also looks incredibly unfun.
Motostorm is passable, but that's about it.
R&C looks pretty damn good, and you can tell it is real-time with shadows and cars popping in.
Warhawk looks smooth, but not exactly mind-blowing.

As of that demo, they weren't using any SPUs (it was a Dec 05 build). They talked about how they'd been transitioning code to the SPUs and how they were able to do a lot more, and you'd see that at E3.

Not confirmed to be using it, though it's one school of thought.

Just saw the new vids..
Warhawk looks good (nice water and clouds), but pretty empty..
I-8 looks ok..just a bit bland looking..you can tell its very early from the effects and animation.
Motorstorm , no comment.
Ratchet and Clank video..now that I can see it clearly I think its totally rendered real-time, but I doubt the environments will be that big and populated in the actual game.

Oh no, I've played them at work.
I would recommend that people watch both vids from the GDC with respect to resistance fall of man. There is this vid the has the visuals and then there is the multiplayer.it vid that has the developer narration of what's going on and what is meant to be converyed by the demo. There are things Insomniac says that bear consideration...
1) This is a build of the game that was a few months old. RSX may not have available for a little pre-GDC play time and...
2) During the presentation it is noted that for the build on display they were primarily reliant on the PPE and at the time of the conference they were just then moving tasks over to the SPEs. No surprise they also note they found that they can get great deal more of everything going on in their games with every task taken off the PPE and placed on the SPEs. It stand to reason then that this demonstration didn't represent the best of Insomniac's work to date at that time.
It should also be considered that the demo was still a technology demo despite Insomniac showing off a bit of the gameplay. What I saw a corridor full of NPC with rudimentary AI...that still had pretty decent lighting etc going on but really...this wasn't at the level of say a trailer one would present at E3...in a few months no doubt.
It just seems to me people are being a bit harsh. I mean the previous E3 trailer showed off more than this and was more than believably achievable. It really doesn't make sense that they would be going backwards, but instead really didn't show off more than the technology considered they were in fact at the game developer's conference.
I don't mean to sound apologetic...we'll perhaps I do...I don't know but it seems Resistance:Fall of Man may be getting a raw deal with the footage now being available for public consumption.

Ok, to make it easy the links have been put up in an article such that downloading couldn't be any simpler. Warhawk, Motorstorm, Resistance, Heavenly Sword, and God of War are all included. Not to mention, I highly recommend the last link for the Warhwak PS1 vs Warhawk PS3 comparison.

The demo was using physics. It's just that this video is extremely short, so you can't really see much, if anything.Hardknock said:
I agree that I don't really see the point for Insomniac to demonstrate this particular part of the game, though.
