The next-gen picture thread 56k warning

[GwymWeepa]

Alright, post images of what you think next-gen consoles will be capable of rendering, please be realistic. Please do not post pics of games already on pc, neat demos of future games are fine.

Can anyone get me some pics of that Tak game's cinemas? They don't seem otherworldy, I expect that quality in real-time next-gen.

Edit: These can include any rendered art too.

Dunno if this is allowed. But about 2 times the complexity of everquest 2 for launch tittles. Mabye 4 times the complexity by the end of the generation up to mabye 6 times. But that is about it .

I don't expect what most of the others will post here .


I state everquest 2 as an example because the world is very large and very complex. I know some don't like the art direction but everyone will have to admit its a very nice engine esp in a genre (sp?) that has a lvl of complexity behind the rest of the pc scene .

Sure, why not heh. I won't wait for this movie, but I think I've seen it...the models do look like plastic in this game, but it is pushing effects up the ying-yang, and will naturally feature many people on screen at once. I expect the next-gen systems to be able to handle the game easily...a tear comes into my eye when I think of the possibility of FFXI on such an engine (Square are gods of art design IMO).

In the newer videos the shine is gone from the models which makes it look better . Yes it looks like plastic though But really there is no other game on that lvl nor will there be for awhile

The last video I saw they still had some horrid clipping, skirts going through bodies and such, have they fixed that?

in the new videos yes they have. I haven't noticed it . Go check out the game talk forum. I posted two vides in there . They are from e3.

Remember eq2 is just entering beta in the next few weeks. So there is still time for the engine and any bugs get bad .

God I hope they fix that for good, totally eliminates the suspension of disbelief, the video I had seen was from e3 IIRC, they battled some demons sumoned by some ghoul in some portal...maybe you've seen the footage.

Ace Combat 5 pre-rendered CG

note that the external camera views in AC4 and more so in AC5 are looking extremely good. these CGI's seem only slightly more complex (maybe 2x or 3x at most) and have a nice bump in image quality. nothing too difficult for nextgen consoles, I would imagine. anyone disagree?

These should be managable next gen in a game engine cut scene environment, but don't go expecting gameplay graphics of such nature untill the following gen.

Here's something they should be able to manage in gameplay-

Maybe not THAT clean.. but surely it can be done, relative.

Anyway, this I am ABSOLUTELY sure of and it looks great.

 

[Megadrive1988]

yeah...




I mean, we have PS2 doing this stuff:

in realtime (non-interactive probably) replay, minus probably all the anti-aliasing of course. the lighting is superb.... this is just the 'ole PS2
