I\'m not impressed at all nor convinced about the theory about the graphical gap closing. Today\'s graphics has yet accomplished itself to raise the bar futher (video card wise). We have yet to see games run in 1280x1024x32 using ray-traced graphics. For kiddies who don\'t know how intensive this method is, this requires the thing called a video card pushing 800 million triangles per second. A perfect example is Toy Story. That movie was rendered by tens if not hundreds of thousands of PC\'s networked for hours rendering the movie. Plus, another bottleneck in today\'s graphics lie on the partiner, the CPU. Ray-traced graphics are ultra Floating-Point sensitive, so your gonna need more than a shiny new P4, and more ram.
But yes, games has come a long way since the PSX and DC. Why I forgot the N64? Did N64 really accomplish anything other than compressed textures and texture memory of 1MB? Maybe the new Zelda, a Mario and some Pokemon that looked nothing worth promising. Well maybe Mario and Zelda for a moment, but after 3 months it became apparent the new games looked like ass due to its texture memory.

My ass, 2 days.. more PR crap. Nintendo cares more about there demos than that. It would be stupid to only spend 2 days on something so important. While I believe it looks pretty good. I do not believe it was done with quite such short notice.

it still doesnt change the fact, that Zelda was a TECH DEMO while FFX is IN-GAME
IMO, FFX looks better
but Zelda should improve a lot by the time its released...in 30 years time :)
Originally posted by RasputinSquare has flabbergasted me with their semi-realtime cinema cycles. If anyone actually bothered to notice, the in-game battle sequences are wholly less imposing when contrasted to the other screen shots. Undoubtedly, I cannot be the only individual that took notice of this, for if I am, I figure you plebeians should really consider being more vigilant when critiquing graphics on a rigorous level. With this remarkably perspicacious spiel avowed I am inclined to reaffirm that graphics should always be considered secondary to gameplay.
I realize that the subsequent information is trifling at best, but nevertheless, to defend the honor of my videogame company of choice, I must articulate it. In retrospect, one can clearly recall that Zelda has permanently subjugated the review charts; the latest case being Majora’s Mask beating FFIX in several prestigious publications, most notably EGM. Additionally, Nintendo has lastingly upheld a tendency to provide gamers with memorable gaming experiences. Zelda games of the future will prove to be just as remarkably stupendous as foregoing software packages. With this in mind, how could anyone possibly conjure up enough courage to blaspheme a company as authoritative as Nintendo? There is no viable answer to this question. Sheer unwieldiness of fallacious contempt possessed by multitudes of Sony minions makes the fictitious seem factual to the unsuspecting casual gamer, and thus, the uncontrived casual gamer falls victim of a hellish scuffle of the spreading of misinformation (and ultimately becomes a Sony zealot). I’m quite sure this is how most of you became Sony fanatics, for if my conjecture proves to be erroneous, then it is quite obvious that I am deliberately and wrongfully attacking gamers with a different console preference then my own.

I have to agree with Kangu, man.
A few of those words were terribly used.
Articulate?
Subjugate?
Come on.
Seriously, that was pretty bad.
Originally posted by JumpmanAw, what a load of crap. I\'ll bet ya it WASN\'T made in ONLY two days. Just like the SW-like demo... it wasn\'t made in 19 days as said some time ago - it was implemented onto the hardware in 19 days. Big difference! They had been working on the actual demo for 6 months. I believe it\'s the same deal with Zelda. NOBODY (!) can make something like that in just two days. If you seriously think that then you\'re in denial. I\'m not just talking GC here, it\'s the same for all systems - be it PS2, Xbox, GC or whatever. It is not made from ground up in two days!

Articulate is to verbalize as subjugate is to conquer. This concludes the vocabulary lesson I have so understandably paid to the three of you. How dare you verbally challenged simpletons challenge my authority on the English language!

I got to agree on jumpmans posts , it is not fair to compare FFX to zelda, BTW zelda is just a demo, a tech demo with no real gameplay AI or physics. And im sure that it will look much better now. We don\'t know what type of graphics GC really has, we\'ll see that at e3

That Zelda demo is technically gameplay. Sure there was no AI or physics but that\'s irrelevant because AI and physics are handeld by the Gekko. The Flipper does all the graphics. The Zelda demo was running realtime on the flipper so it IS gameplay( technically).

Ok so maybe I streched things by saying it was made from the ground up but that\'s not the point!
They had the basic new Zelda plan for a long time, but they took the characters and put them in a demo in two days. THIS IS THE TRUTH! Yes, I lied before, sue me.
Maybe I went alittle to far but i still wont like this game because I liked it during Nintendo days but not past that
But I really you are ruining it because when i see that guy i think of all your stupid post
| You fiendish villains have tested my anger, and I must say, you’ve gotten the best of me. When I am infuriated (very infrequently the case, I might add), I lack a clear sense of direction with my prose, and thus, the end result of my dissertation under the aforementioned circumstance is a terribly sculpted abomination of bombastic verbiage. Yes indeed, every now and again I do in fact lose my ability to think clearly, but especially when people are attacking me from all corners and directions. Although this may be so, don’t think for a second that when I am ostensibly defeated, I am in fact down for the count. I have a tremendous amount of resiliency; it’s foolish to make assumptions of the opposite. Here are a few words of advice to the supercilious personalities in this forum. You must have certainty in each and every situation. This, although not commonly seen as a practical staple for contemporary lifestyles here in the United States, should be practiced rigorously to better the lives of all people, including the carping hecklers that seem to comprise the entire populace here at these forums. I could go on to further state viable and accurate information pertaining to human relations and other such topics, but you people wouldn\'t appreciate such material simply because you seemingly have the necessity to feel superior to tyros of these rather shoddy forums. Keep your sanctuary of false superiority, for I don’t feel the need to further obstruct the harmony that has developed here. P.S. For the person that thought I didn’t know how to properly utilize html tags, what you’re looking at is a table (although there are no html options available in this particular forum). The fictitious html tag that I used in my previous post was solely intended to accentuate the message I was trying to convey, much like an emoticon would\'ve. |

Kangu is mostly right.
But you still used "articulate" wrong.
"I realize that the subsequent information is trifling at best, but nevertheless, to defend the honor of my videogame company of choice, I must articulate it. "
You can not "articulate" something.
"articutate" is not a verb.
You can BE "articulate".
That sentence could be "articulate"
You can make somethink MORE "articulate".
But you cannot ,"I just articulated on your ass, mofo."
It just doesn\'t work.
"I must articulate it."
Ok, assuming you can use "articulate" like you said you could, what are you going to articulate?
The subsequent information?
The videogame company of your choice?
You never specified WHAT you were going to articulate.
1. To pronounce distinctly and carefully; enunciate.
2. To utter (a speech sound) by making the necessary movements of the speech organs.
3. To express in coherent verbal form; give words to:
4. To fit together into a coherent whole; unify:
5. Anatomy. To unite by forming a joint or joints.
