Well, some screens have hit the web of Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, on PS3. I'm beginning to realise why Josh Robinson was feeling frustrated there :p

Stylistically it's easy enough on the eye, but technically it's like they're just not trying! Apparently it will be 1080p though :rolleyes:

The grass is awesome... but wheres that mans shadow in the first pic? The leaves have the same stretched pixelly we hope to move past in this generation.

Probably because all of it, the leaves included, are a flat texture I think. Looks ok from a distance, but the illusion would fall apart.

Tis all very 'meh', IMO. I guess it was to be expected from SOE though :???:
 
I'm sorely tempted to bring up the forbidden topic. SORELY tempted.

Anyway, yeah, it looks like they'll have to jump up a ways to reach Kameo, which is not the position Sony wants to be in.

I don't think Sony will be relying on this to reach ANYTHING ;)

This also isn't a SCE concern, which is worth noting. SOE have always been pretty terrible on PS2, technically, something most or all SCE devs are not.

Was Kameo 1080p? :p
 
Looks like the site has removed them. There's nothing showing for the game in search under PS3, nor any resources listed when searching for 'Untold Legends'

Isn't this an MMO too?

I think there'll be online modes, but it's not a MMO.

And yeah, the site's removed them. I think the pics I posted above still show, though?

It's too late, though. The shots are out there. There will be 100 copies on imageshack and photobucket within the day.

Hey, best case is that Sony lets out some really good-looking material to counteract this.

Noted, but it's a negative reflection just as SOE's PS2 games are.

I should think that Kameo is about the baseline for what Sony wants to hit, considering all the flak they've shot at the 360 and its games. Maybe they've set the bar too high for themselves?

Oh I agree about the negative impact in the short term, just that come launch I don't think Sony will have any requirement of this to reach some bar. I expect this will likely be amongst the weakest looking launch titles, if not the weakest. And I don't think anyone's really expecting anything from this in the first place anyway, so I doubt there'll be much disappointment so to speak..

It's tricky setting a minimum bar for others to hit on your system. In terms of ticking the boxes, 1080p etc. it probably would pass a QA assessment.

You can only hope the average is much higher than this, and I expect it will be. There'll always be a bottom of the barrel, though, and I wouldn't expect it to be starting where something like Kameo leaves off.

Finally, the first real PS3 screens!

But how do we know these are legit?

Anyway, I wouldn't put much stock in these.

Having played Kameo quite a bit... Kameo visually is a rather high bar and it barely scratched the surface...

That's what I'm saying. I don't think PS3's worst looking game is going to be no worse than one of 360's better looking games to date, that's a slightly unrealistic expectation. It doesn't take much to put out a stinker unfortunately :rolleyes:

(Though that is somewhat premature..the game itself may be good, technical merits, or the lack of them, aside)
 
You know, there are classic excuses, "these may be not generated with a final kit, the launch is half a year away!" "not using all 3^H 8 cores!" ;)

Well, lets hope its the worst. :)

To date, obviously. At least I think it is, though perhaps slightly less jarring than the first Fifth Phantom Saga shots.

It also ironically has the technical distinction of being the first console 1080p game that we know about. At least if a PS3 game is going to be technically unambitious it can be 1080p to give itself a leg up :LOL:
