Looks like some awesome platforming action to me.

"Stupid as hell" doesn\'t even enter into the equation.

No they aren\'t. I have seen better. The textures are very simple. Also, the character designs make me cringe. This game kind of looks like an oddworld rip off to me. Maybe I\'ll like it if I try it though.

Ok, enough with the s word people.

Anyways, this game does not graphically impress me at all. The textures and character models are average, and it has a terrible draw-distance(see blurry horizon). I find it funny how NG talked so much trash about PS2 being so powerful and now their own game isn\'t on par with other PS2 games like MGS2, and FFX. Ha.

Animal Mother, the animation makes up for the "poor" character designs.  (If you have seen Jak and Daxter in motion, and you still think the character designs look poor, you must be crazy or a really big Nintendo fan).  The little cat thing (Daxter) is probably the coolest character I\'ve seen in any game.  It is full of personality and expression.
Quote
From ps2.IGN
the duo move effortlessly, smoothly, and with some of the most detailed and eye-appealing animation seen on the PlayStation 2. In case you haven\'t seen the screenshots of movies in our preview or from our E3 coverage, the control and animation is are both exquisite.


Jumpman, did you completely ignore the reviews that were done way back at E3?  This is what ps2.ign said about the draw distance:
Quote
No matter where you are in the game, players can see from one to the next and can actually view moving objects and scenes occurring from one to two islands away. For instance, players can see the enemy launching cannon balls from one island away, and watch as the cannonball are shot, fly through the air, and then land in the water, or on land, and see the animation that follows, be it flying dust and dirt, or splashing water.

Quote
If you\'re at a high-point in one area, you can see other places that you were before at a great distance, as there\'s no load screens or seperate areas that aren\'t connected. Everything is connected to each other and there\'s never a time that you\'ll leave one area and then just magically appear in another.

It the game is supposed to be 20+ hours, which is pretty good for a platformer.
Title: New Jak and Daxter screens!!
Post by: know-it-all-wanna-be on August 28, 2001, 09:19:09 PM
the graphic is superb.  Highest quality texture, very high pixel fill rate, high polygon counts.  I heard the scene is fill with lots if polygons, and it so big.  Imagine running around a big scene without any load time or game.

Bad thing about this game is, although Naughty Dog did not mention, I know for sure the game run in interlaced mode.  meaning it have to do with VRAM limitation.  There is no jaggies whatsoever, but there is slight because of interlaced trying to align two different frames from different motion together to get a full frame...  2nd, black spot shadow, that\'s not a bad thing because the game have high texture and polygon counts.  With shadow only limit the texture quality.

I think it´s a great game, one of the best platformer in any console, so it´s one of my most wanted games...

This game.. I like..

Its the only platformer that Im interested in.. (except Klonoa 2 then) :D

Why cant they release a demo soon?

Post by: Marquis De Sade on August 29, 2001, 04:59:03 AM
Oh God, it amazes me how many times people are wishing to put something down they have not even played.  Give the game a bloody chance!!!

I\'ve saw the game running on TV, and it looks very slick - the framerate is sweet, the anitaion is smooth and the draw distance is fantastic.

The problem nowdays is how anal some people have got about graphics.  It\'s not the be all and end all, and anyway, there\'s nothing wrong looking with this game.

GIVE.....IT.....A.....CHANCE.....

go check out the new link for zelda cube and then talk crap about character design...cause thats really poor.

The game should get its own website soon. Check out the new naughty dog website from time to time. Be sure to check out the section with the developers pics, it`s funny (of course with some little picking on X-box).

Dang, it seems the only way to make an impression on some people is with a shovel upside the head.

I\'m not a huge fan of platformers but this one has me really looking forward to it. From what I\'ve read much more brilliant than in just the vibrant look, which I like a lot.

Ah.. Well you forgot one little detail..
The air could be humid/moist?

If you go to the north pole on a clear day I bet you could see for miles and miles cuz the air is so dry..

Well this is in a very tropical enviroment.. So the air should be very humid/moist..

When the air is moist its "filled up" with tiny wateratoms..
You can not see one wateratom with a human eye..
But if you put several together you can see them..

Well. Im sure youve learnd all this in school!

See my point?

Post by: Black Samurai on August 29, 2001, 11:46:49 AM
There should be no argument. This game looks sweet and it makes good use of the PS2\'s texture streaming capabilities. The game is supposed to resemble a cartoon so the textures really should not be that detailed. They look just right and the models look very detailed also. Those aren\'t very good pictures for showing off the draw distance because the draw distance is pretty much infinite for this game. You stand on one side of the game area and you can see the other side. Plain and simple. I have full faith in Naughty Dog to pull out a system selling franchise.

That\'s fogging. A technique that a lot of poor graphical games use to hide pop-up. The thing is, every shot where you can see into a fairly large distance has a blurry or foggy look to it. Hence, why I said it has a poor draw-distance which is correct.

Well I didnt relize that you could see for miles and miles when the air is moist..
And it does look like its raining like tomrob said..

Btw..
When you get to the higher points (like tower or mountains) in the game you can see farther..

Just look at the mountain-blurry.

Post by: ddaryl on August 29, 2001, 12:33:08 PM
Well another issue in regards to this so called draw distance and fogging is the fact that Jak and Daxter uses a realtime Day to night cycle and as you can see by this latest batch of screens  the game is  being played at twilight. dark and/or dusk. Obviously in these low light conditions draw distance should be affected.


Going back to the 1st batch of screens the draw distance is obviously fine, and reading quotes from 5 different game sites or more they all talk about the draw distance and how you can see so much happening in the distance


This is obviously a non issuse.


as for character designs and textures, they look just fine to me. I agree  they could be better, but they\'re plenty good enough and better then most PS2 games in texturing

Hey Jumpman, you know when you focus in on something close, whether you are using a still camera, or a video camera, what happens to the scenery further away? Oh yes, thats right it gets blurry :rolleyes: silly me.

Post by: tomrob on August 29, 2001, 12:53:37 PM
Also Jumpman, you\'re missing the point of draw distance. Draw distance is how far you can see. Like the old school road thing. The game is still "Drawing" the scenery, whether is be misty or not. You\'ll find that fogging is just that, you don\'t see anything but fog. But here you still see the mountains, they are just out of focus, because the camera is focusing on Jak instead.

Driving games with bad "Draw Distance" mean the road isn\'t drawn until fairly close to you, hence pop-up. Games like GT3 have good Draw Distance because building are drawn way before you get to them.

My point is, the Jak & Daxter Engine IS drawing these mountains far away, so the draw distance IS good :bounce:

Jumpman, you ran off saying, "talking to us is like talking to a brick wall."  But in reality, its the other way around -- talking to you is like taking to a brick wall.  Person after person has given you examples of why Jak and Daxter is "worldly correct," but you just ignore what they say.

I could go through everything everyone else has already said which is more than enough to prove your hatred/blindness towards Naughty Dog, but instead, I have one question for you.  You say that "The textures and character models are average, and it has a terrible draw-distance."  What exactly are you comparing this too?

Take a look under the right arm-pit of the farthest montsters from the left hand side of screen. You can actually see what the line where starts to get blurry.

Well all I gotta say Jumpman is, from what I\'ve seen and read about this game, you\'re gonna be missing out on something very special indeed, and I\'m sure the majority of these boards will agree on that.

Oh well your loss I suppose.

You can make do with the Awesome, fantasticly brilliant, out of this world new look Zelda game (that 80% of Nintendo fans hate) thats coming to the GC :laughing:

This will probably be the overall last post in this topic since everyone will now lower their heads in shame and acknowledge how right I am. :)


ok, well your point is..... that the game is not good even though it is pushing 20 million polygons at 60fps?

it beats zelda.

Your loss on missing out on the next Zelda game. Too bad for you, not me. Some of us can see past graphics.

And I\'m getting PS2 next Christmas after this one so it\'s possible I\'ll get this game along with it depending on the reviews it gets, fanboy. :p

I don\'t know whether it\'s good or not since I haven\'t played it. I guess I don\'t have psychic abilities like every PS2 fan who thinks this game will own.

How can you say that when both of them are not released yet?

Jumpman,

Get over it. Even if the mountains look blurry, the mountains are still being drawn. It\'s not like the fog is covering them up like in Turok. Whether it\'s for an atmospheric effect, or they\'re using depth-of-field, who knows. But blurry or not, the polygons are there. Stop being so sure of yourself. Are you here to claim a prize? Watch a movie of J&D and you will be able (err should) to appreciate its beauty. Your open hatred for Naughty Dog only hurts your credibility on this debate.

Yeah yeah they\'re still being drawn, but they\'re still blurry which was my main point. They should look crisper. I just expect better, that\'s all.

And yes, I have watched movies of this game and I have seen better. I\'m not easily impressed with graphics.

Now please everyone, get off my back.

Jumpman, if you bothered to download a J&D video, you\'d notice that the backgrounds aren\'t blurry when the game is in motion. Remember one of those screens is likely to be missing 59 frames of animations, cos that is a screen of ONE frame. Come back after you\'ve watched the video. There a just so many effects and animations going on in this game, that a still screenshot is worth nothing. Go and read the preview at IGN, they have actually played the game, and they are amazed

Jumpman, not only are you making a fool of your self by judging this game only by those screens, that aren\'t even close to high quality by the way, you have also proven like many have said before me, you are nothing more than a hopless Nintendo Fanboy. While you have your NGC and those great launch titles (can you smell any sarcasaim here?) PS2 will have games like MGS2, J&D,Silent Hill and Splashdown, while you have what? Pikmin, Wave Race and the very unimpressive Luigi\'s Mansion, oh yeah lets not forget the power puff girl look-alike link in his very, very ;)  happy adventure. Heck your not even getting Mario until next year! Mario has always been there at launch. So once again wait until some good quality screens of J&D come out, before you start making a$$ of yourself, Now whatcha think about that Sucka?

J & D looks amazing have you guys seen the e3 trailer?  Its tight, last time I heard when this game finally comes out its going to be pushing a whooping 10mps at 60fps.  Which is amazing for a 2nd gen game.  This looks better than most gamecube games.:thepimp: :thepimp: :thepimp: :thepimp:

Actually guys Jak & Daxter will be pushing near 13-15mpps when released. Awesome! Yeah I agree the E3 Trailer is amazing, and even that isn\'t the highest quality vid I\'ve ever seen! I have a DVD from PSW I think, it has the same video @ full screen, amazing! Blows Mario Sunshine away! Mario is living on his name like Tomb Raider IMO.

Thank you for a demonstrating stupidity at it\'s best. :)

Have you ever heard of an opinion? Some people will not like those PS2 games you mentioned, others will. Who\'s right? No one is since it all boils down to preference. Why am I explaining this simple concept to you? *sigh*

Actually, I\'m not even getting NGC at launch, I\'m getting my at Christmas. By that time, Eternal Darkness is out, my most anticipated game. That\'s the only games I\'m getting for NGC this year.

Hey wait, your being a ****ing hypocrite. You say how can I judge a game on screens(without knowing I\'ve seen every video of this game), then you say Zelda is no good(in your own fanboy way) because of it\'s graphics. Ugh, such lack of intelligence is disturbing.

J&D comes out by the end of this year, Mario Sunshine comes out next summer. Duh what do you think will look better? Of course J&D looks better. Besides, we only saw one small level. Mario didn\'t even have a shadow yet.

Jak can go to the highest point in the land and get a 360 degree view of a massive, detailed, active landscape, pick a spot and go there, no load times all drawn in on the fly. Tell us about the game you\'ve seen that does this better.  You insist its blurry when the vids don\'t leave that impression at all.

Also the time of day effects. It might be sunset and the mountains look hazy with lack of light, but Jak is running around in an area where the sun is setting and the remaining light is lighting up the area. This is the impression I got from watching the PSW DVD Trailer. Its awesome, the lighting effects are something special, the way the sun lights up the cliffs etc.

Um...so? That\'s just the power of next-generation consoles.  Besides, from what I\'ve seen, it gets more blurry the farther it goes. Innovative? Hardly. Out-standing? Possibly, but none of us has seen this feature. I\'ve checked all the vids, I don\'t remember seeing this. It might be in there, but it might not be as impressive as you make it out to be.

When it comes to impressions of graphics, draw-distance, framerate, and gameplay, I trust those who have ACTUALLY PLAYED IT.

Quote
A note about the levels and AI. Every area can be re-visited, since they are all connected, and every single section of the world can be seen from the higher points in the world. One of the key points behind Jak and Daxter is that it\'s big, but that there are no loading times. Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin played a bucket-load of games when they were kids and they played a lot of Donkey Kong, Mario, and Zelda, and they love the idea of seamless, organic, connected worlds. Well, that\'s what gamers are going to get here.


- Doug Perry IGN.PS2

Quote
The extra playtime with the newer build of the game also gave me a better chance to check out more of the game\'s 3D world, which proved to be even more massively scaled than I had previously thought. Naughty Dog has created this huge 3D world where the entire game takes place. There aren\'t different areas for each of the worlds like in most games of this type, instead everything in the world is right there in front of you.

And the world is not small either, as the basic island that the game takes place on is pretty massive in size and is filled with interactive elements that give the world a feeling of being truly alive and organic. Leaves and branches blow in the wind, birds fly around in the different areas, and if you\'re at the high-point in one area, you can see all of this in other areas at great distances.


- Dave Zydrko IGN.PS2

Quote
Today, we take an updated look at the game with new screenshots released by Sony Computer Entertainment America. Jak and Daxter is unique in that all of the levels in the game are housed within a massive gameworld. According to Naughty Dog, in the final release of the game players will be able to move from one level to the next at will, without any loading times.

... Need the "experts" say more?  Please, to debate draw-distance using pictures as evidence in comparison to those who use preview copies of games as evidence is futile.  It\'s like arguing that war is a glamorous thing full of nothing but people who kiss and live in harmony.  Simple point is, the people who have experienced it can tell you otherwise.

I haven\'t visited that thread since I last replied to it, I could always go there now... It\'s funny though, out of all the people that have read that particular article, you are the ONLY one who disagreed with it (other than an XBox fanboy, but I don\'t consider his opinion to be worth much more then plastic bubble wrap).  Even 3 guys I know at IGN thought it was true to heart.  I can quote one in that thread right now.  Meh, to each his own I guess. :)  You keep your opinion about how it "sucks" and I\'ll be happy with my idea of it being true to the old testament.

3 people? Nope! Bob and LIC don\'t count since they aren\'t really fans have the Zelda series anyways. That makes 1 really. But I\'ll give you two since I\'m so generous. Hold me. :)

Also, remember the topic I made regarding Zelda\'s look? More than 3 people agreed with it. Funny right?

I said it sucks at first, but then I said I got used to it and said I didn\'t mind it as much. I never said it "sucks" after that.

You can believe what you want about the IGN comment.  You\'ve already believed a lot of your own BS with these J&D comments.  If MM was here, i\'m sure he\'d give you the "open mouth, insert foot" award.

As for people agreeing with you and disagreeing with me, i thought it was funny how you were the only one who actually commented negatively in my particular post.  If it would satisfy you that much, I can always return to the topic and respond now.
