This game looks great, but the characters look like crap >_>

outrageous4998d ago

Great looking game with incredibly fluid gameplay and massive environments. The platforming looks incredible and Ninja Theory really are a talented bunch. To bad they didn't add a Co-op campaign element or even some multi-player to add some replay value to the game. Ignoring the on line community is not a good idea in this day and age and extremely limits your audience. Vanquish will have the same problem.

Horrendous graphics are goddamned horrendous. Easy, basic platforming is a huge letdown as well. Decent rent at best.

gamer20104998d ago (Edited 4998d ago )

Ghost of Sparta, you must be blind in both eyes. These graphics are amazing. Honestly the graphics are better than 90% of games right now.
It has great textures, real-time lighting, excellent character models and amazing facial animations.

*The video quality of this clip is poor, but the graphics themselves are very good.

ABizzel14997d ago

The game looks good, but there's something wrong with it. The inner part of the ship was too yellow, and outside was too bright. The lighting is just too much.

The combat is good enough (looks like Infamous 2), and the platforming is only decent (it's just like Uncharted's not difficult, just there for variety).

That being said there's just something off about this game. I'm going to rent it first.

UnSelf4998d ago

wow dis game is fkin gorgeous

danmachine4998d ago

but it doesnt have much personality to it.

beardpapa4998d ago

i don't know what you guys see in this, but I agree with others when they say the graphics are goddammned horrendous. A bunch of washed out colors and super bloom. There are other multiplat games out there that look better than this (e.g., deadspace2, vanquish, dead rising2, rage, crysis2, etc). And what massive environment? A giant ship flying around in the air crashing into the statue of liberty while the rest of the background is the blue sky doesn't justify "amazing and great looking". How do we know that ship isn't just one big rectangular polygon with some wings that have higher polygon counts for the possibly pre-rendered cutscenes?

If I had never played Uncharted I would be impressed.

Shut up, tool!

Quagmire4998d ago

I admire youre restraint

people dont like this coz it isnt a generic warfare online title. Sheesh, gamers these days...

Shane Kim4998d ago

Wish it was PS3 exclusive because as it is now, the gfx sucks.

LeonSKennedy4Life4998d ago (Edited 4998d ago )

How can you even tell?

Disagree all you want, people. This is a gorgeous game!

The video is in 360p, not HD.

See this in 720p

Is not Uncharted 2 or God of War 3 Heavy wise Graphics, but still have good Graphics.

kaveti66164998d ago

Ninja Theory decided to use the Unreal Engine 3. I think if they had created a brand new multiplat engine, the game would have looked good. I don't blame the 360 for the game not looking very good.

Shane Kim4997d ago

Please look at the resolution on the characters. I swear, Kratos in GoW 2 looks more detailed than monkey man or whatever his name is.

Saying this was on par with Uncharted 2? I could have sworn reading that. Anyways it doesn't matter cause they freakin lied this looks nothing close to that and it looks kinda boring. Not interested in this. BUT for those who are looking forward to this it doesn't matter what I think I just hope you enjoy the game, just doesn't interest me.

kaveti66164998d ago

No. The developers said their game would have an art style similar to Uncharted 1. And it does seem to have that. They never said the game was on par with Uncharted 2. A stupid wannabe journalist site twisted their words for hits.

Keltik824998d ago

Ahhhh, Ok. Yeah I did read something stupid like that. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, and I remember when someone said Ninety Nine Nights 2 is the God of War for Xbox 360

http://n4g.com/news/505759/...

And yes, there are people saying is on par with Uncharted 2 (clueless people).

I don't know if I have to Cry or Laugh about this.

Keltik824998d ago

Ahhhh yes LOL, I do remember that! Thanks for digging that up bro. I just kept thinking at the back of my mind I remembering hearing something about that I just didn't want to post without making sure.

Muramasta4998d ago

How did they come to that conclusion? Looks a lot more like Dynasty Warriors tbh.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming33d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long33d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming33d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10133d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor33d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6933d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming33d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno33d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming33d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

The 10 worst PC ports that ruined otherwise great video games

From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."

Kados1040d ago

To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.

Giblet_Head1040d ago (Edited 1040d ago )

Ya, 2005-2010 was an interesting period. Entry/mid level CPUs have come a long way since then.

RonsonPL1039d ago (Edited 1039d ago )

The "majority" is still just as dumb as before.The game was simply f...d.
It had micro-stutters and never ever ran properly. People who say otherwise simply couldn't see the microstutter because of their LCD display's blurry motion. It should fly in 85fps or 100fps on fastest CPU back then, but it didn't. It was a buggy, awful port. I had a CPU over twice as fast as what x360 had. A GPU 5x as fast. And I couldn't do anything to make it run perfectly.
I don't know who's fault was this. Maybe it was not the developers alone. Maybe it was because of the drivers and the fact nobody gave a flying f..k about stable, high framerate on a PC game. We've had two different OSes then, and as I pointed out, microstutters were not that obvious on an LCD. There was no Digital Foundry to point such problems out and not many people still played on CRT monitors to be able to notice the problem (in like 2 seconds of playing, seriously, you don't need any tools. It just hits your eyes like a speeding truck)

GTA V continued the tradition. It manages the CPU resources so badly, it basically cannot run at locked 144fps till this day, or even 60fps in stereoscopic 3D mode (so 2x 60fps per second) because it's so dependant on single core performance and because it's so messed up by either port devs or Nvidia (who said they will fix it, then 3 years of promises led to shutting the forums down, which solved the problem in their eyes - no one complains anymore ;)

GTA III port was never optimized for even 60fps, not to mention 100 or 120.
The port of GTA V was hidden in their cabinet for almost 3 years, during which PC gamers were bein lied to about it.

See the pattern yet?
Yeah. They don't give a shit about PC gaming or assume a buggy, stuttery mess is good enough, as long as people keep buying the games.

Actually... to think of it. They didn't make a proper Lemmings game for PC either. There was Amiga version and that's it. Only later on they mercifully released Lemmings: Tribes sequel. Until then PC gamers could only dream about digitized (real recorded audio) sounds and music. So this tradition of shitting onto PC gamers is now 30 years old ;)
