TGS Kameo Gameplay Video: First Truely next gen gameplay vdo

on the 500 meg gamespot video it starts out cam based then moves to direct feed. in both cases you get the "interlace effect" for lack of a better term.
 
That 'interlace effect' is combing and pops up when the deinterlacer (eitehr in a display or an encoder) does a poor job of deinterlacing an interlaced signal.

How can there can be combing on the actual video when it outputs a progressive scan image (1280x720 as opposed to 480i), not an interlaced one?

My guess is that even in the direct feed videos, at some point they were in an interlaced format and reencoded. Also, wouldnt direct feed mean a 1280x720 video, pixel perfect of whats ont he screen? Dont hink ive seen one fo those from TGS yet.

So in summary, these are deinterlacing artifacts or artifacts frmo scaling the 1280x720 image down to wahtever video size youre viewing.

If the video was direct feed at 720 originally, it has been extremely obviously reencoded. 40 minutes of 720p video would amount to probably 8-9 gigs, not 500 megs.

The same combing phenomenon occurs in DVDs.
 
The big question in my mind was, what IF pd0 and Kameo both live up to their expecations and both become Killer Apps? The x360 could really take off, FPS and Action-Adventure are two hugely popular genres.

From watching the 40 minute gameplay video, hearing mention of the 60+ quests, over 40 moves/upgrades for the 10 different characters, and seeing the sick visuals, watching the gameplay I'm pretty sure that they've done at least 1 out of 2.

Kameo is looking like everything it's supposed to be. I smell smash hit....

Now...PD0...where ye be? TGS 05 and hopefully we will see a new PD0...
 
lol, nope, never played it. But supposedly it was great, I was a huge goldeneye fan.

By the time PD came out I had moved on from the N64, I think that might have been the problem. Wasn't PS2 already out by then?

FPS have really taken off since the N64 days, half the new games for XBOX seem to be FPS(that's not a good thing IMO), so I don't see why a very very good one like PD0 couldn't become a smash.

They haven't showed a single shot of PD0 since E3 when everybody trashed it.

I think the answer is obvious, it's getting a makeover.

MS is doing the right thing by hiding it away until the graphics are overhauled. No point in showing the tiny little incremental improvements, kills the WOW factor. Leave Rare alone and let them work the same magic they did with Kameo.

October 4th we shall see...

WOW, that gamespot vid is amazing stuff

marker 25 minute watch the huge troll battle, a lot of intensity for one scene.

One thing is for sure about next gen after seeing that...Screenshots don't mean squat. You have to see these games in motion and the particle effects and the smoke and the water and the heat and the...

Probably not going to happen, although I do think PDZ will be very fun, I don't think it'll be very popular. Remember PD?


Marketing? Goldeneye was huge also because it's movie counterpart WAS huge. And PD came too late in N64 life, and it required that RAM thing.

I'm not holding my breath on PDO, but KAmeo looks awesome.
 
Man, I was never excited for this game before, but damn. This game has got me by the neck. Def picking it up at launch.
