HERE THEY ARE: OFFICIAL GC PICS (Rogue Squadron 2) RUNNING ON GC!!!!!

Everyone keeps saying that Waverace and Zelda are the best looking games in development for the GCN. If they look much better than that I will be very impressed. E3  is so close I can taste it......well not really taste it. Maybe smell it is a better coloquialism.

Wow, Nice FX. Looks like you Nintnedo fans will really be in for a treat when the cube launches this fall. I can\'t wait to see what else they have in store. However, I\'m not too excited about those pics. Not only do I (so far) not plan on buying the GC, but I\'m probably the only person in here who isn\'t a Star Wars nut.

Hopefully they\'ll show some even better pics of RE0 or Perfect Dark 2 soon!

ho3j - NextGen blowing up their pics would have nothing to do with the jaggies in this game. What you see is what you get on this.

If it were blown up, it wpuld be blurry, pixelated, etc. Jaggies come from games, not blow ups

Fair enough but any FSAA short of the best will leave some jaggies which my be negligable on a on TV but would become eye sores when fitted for a magazine resoluation and then blown up to what we are seeing on the web.  While the GCN could have some FSAA issues, these conditions are not ideal for trying to judge either way right now.

You must not read NextGen. They always blow up pics and make them look like crap. That is pretty much a given. Take a look at the Aug 00 issue and look at Madden. It looks like CRAP. Nothing like the game. Definately a problem with the screenshots. I have total confidence that there will be no jaggies in the game. At least not to the extent as what is shown in those pics.

This game is one kick ass one!!  I\'m now going to keep an eye on GameCube.  I can\'t belive how GameCube can handle this game with 60fps!  

This is my favorite pictures!  

Obviously you did not get my point. These pics are obviously NOT blown up, or they would be pixelated and blurry. They are clear. The Jaggies are there, because they are there in that build of the game. NextGen does blow up their pics, but blown up pics don\'t add jaggies on pics.

This is BY FAR my favorite pic.   If you look at the planet in the background you\'ll see a small grey moon.... or is that the Death Star?!?!?!

The picture politepet post is clearly (the largest of the three) and and the images from page and 1 of the article are heavly pixilated.  (http://downloads.members.tripod.com/nexdx/pg1.jpg)  If you look at the edges of the lettering "Cover Story" and the the Star Destroyer you can see using low rez images and then blowing them up to fit the higher resolution of a magazine.   Again, the GCN may very well have FSAA issues but we need to wait for better images (the image i linked to suggests that FSAA is running but at something less than the best quality).

If they do not blow up pictures where do the incredibly disgusting jaggies come from that are in pretty much all of the large shots of all the games? Even when they did a review of all the PS2 launch games they had screenshots of the FINAL build. I have Madden and SSX and the jaggies are nowhere near as bad as they were in NextGen\'s screenshot. It has nothing to do with the "build" it is how NextGen formats and reformats the pics to fill up space on the page.

I will post a scan of what I am talking about later when I get home.

OR you guys can take a look at the pic that I posted and see how the game will look.... jaggie free.  

Can\'t wait to see what some real bump-mapping will make the game look like (some of the images make everything look too "smooth" or "plastic-like"... no worries though.)
