Splinter Cell 4 (trailer)

It may be prerendered... Ubi did the Assasins trailer too, right? That was CG as well, and I don't think they'd have the engine up and running already...
 
I think it's at least possibe in realtime. I dunno if it IS real time, but I think it's possible.

It looks to be at RE5 quality and the shots of alone in the dark are real time and look around that level of quality. The DMC4 trailer was also (supposedly) realtime as well, so I think it's in the realm of doable. I dunno about the sweat drop though... kinda a waste for ingame.

That was about my thoughts as well. Even if it ain't prerendered it is not telling us much about the final game.

I need to change my sig to something like, "Dear MS and Sony and Publishers, your engines are beautiful and demonstrate great artistry! Now for crying out loud stop showing cut scenes intro sequences and show me the freaking gameplay! Yours forever - Acert93"
 
Could be real time.

I think it can easily be real-time and actual game will probably look better, expect maybe for AA.
 
I'm downloading a better quality version right now.

Edit: The drop of sweat splashing on the ground is still suspicious... the rest could be realtime though, but I'd still say it's rendered with ingame assets.

hm... well... they certainly did pull off a wonder with SC:CT on the Xbox... There looks like a ton of polys on that guy's arms though.

Well, the NBA 2K6 trailer has 10 characters with at least 10-15 thousand polygons, and the audience, and the arena, and cloth simulation going on for the players.
We'll see if there'll be a direct feed version... if not, then it's almost certainly a prerendered teaser. I guess they wanted to have at least something to show for the announcement.
 
:oops:

The IGN movie is WAY clearer. Now it makes sense -- before in the dark it was hard to see what was going on.

Parts of it look doable, but the quality is just insane. Probably ingame assets + rendered. Especially the water drop... that was modeled perfectly--and why would it need to be in the game?

I like the concept... never have played SC games although I would like to someday. Hopefully they can deliver something half as good as this trailer. Based on the reviews and high regards people hold them it seems likely they will turn out a AAA title.
