SMOKING Geforce3 Giants shots

These shots make me weep when I look at the PS2 version shots

I\'m floored

GeForce 3 rockets Giants visuals

Bump-mapping is the geekiest thing in existence, but if it makes games look this good, we’ll most certainly have all of it

Giants: Citizen Kabuto, the acclaimed PC strategy title from Planet Moon, is about to be bundled with nVidia’s GeForce 3 graphics card. That’s the boring bit. For the interesting part, check out the shots to the left.
That’s what you get for being rich enough to afford cutting edge hardware. It was obvious when Quake coder John Carmack showed the Doom 3 engine at MacWorld Tokyo running on the chip that this was the step forward desktop enthusiasts had been waiting for since the advent of serious 3D cards.

The reason you should be paying close attention to the look of Citizen Kabuto (the giant monster) in these shots is that Xbox’s graphics chip is the next generation along again from GeForce 3. Lorks. Providing developers can push some engaging play onto those DVDs, you’re going to have games more ridiculously good looking than Britney Spears, naked and oiled. ‘Nuff said.

In the meantime, those of you with pockets deeper than the Mariana Trench can enjoy watching a gloriously realised Kabuto beat Meccs to death on your atomic, space age PCs. Console fans will just have to wait…
 

there Nice for a pc game, but nothing special. What pisses me off is having the power of a Geforce 3 and not being able to use all of it, due to the computer architecture which acts as bottle necks.

Also developers don\'t use all of the cards features and power due to the fact that there game must run on older computer hardware.

None the less those pics are very good.

That\'s the thing about computer games, you have to update your computer bi-monthly to have optimal graphics.  At least with consoles graphic quality isn\'t greatly enhance untill another console comes out, years instead of months.

I honestly feel sorry for you. There\'s nothing wrong with the above pics and the 1st one especially looks fantastic.

Maybe the pics don\'t squeeze out all th epower they could from a Geforce3, but to actually say what I quoted you on is laughable.

Your expectaions are too high, and you will isolate yourself from some serious fun with your anal take on graphics

but hell what do I care. I don\'t

Looks great, wish i had a better computer though so i could put this baby to good use, i got a P2-300, and i\'m not spending money on a computer that will be obsolete in 6 months.
I spent 11K on new computers in the last 6 years. I\'m not doing that again.

I just ordered my new comp and cuple days ago its gonna be a monster. Dont wanna list specs again but I was gonna get GF3 but then thought, why spend like $350 on a card thats not even gonna be used to full potential yet? So I just got a GF2. In a year I\'ll get one of the updated GF3\'s... There\'s no need for it yet.

Oh BTW the pics are beautiful especially the 1st one and the last few

When did I say there was anything wrong with the above pics, I said they looked good. It seems Ddaryl has been hiting the boozer. Hey bud I think you need some sleep, cause from the looks of it your eyes must be getting tired.

but hell what do I care. I don\'t

Obviously you do in order to respond. You feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for you or anyone(except rich people and computer junkies) to pay $699(can) $450(USA) for a graphics card that will take at least 2 years for developers to really take advantage of.

Your expectaions are too high, and you will isolate yourself from some serious fun with your anal take on graphics

LOL, you say my anal expectations, man you need to chill out,  I will have the XBOX, that system will fill my crAVING FOR GRPAHICS. So then it brings me to my next point, what am I isolating myself from? It seems you forgot about XBOX when writing this response, Hello MS is bringing out a console, did you know that?????

but to actually say what I quoted you on is laughable.

I really don\'t see how


So really from what I can tell your response had no real valid points.Matter of fact you didn\'t make any sense, you just blabbed your mouth on. I don\'t know if there was a hint of personal attack in there, but man please think about what I said next time. Also I am sorry if my words seem harsh, it\'s just seems that you are trying to attack me.

$700?! Where the hell do you live that you have to pay $700. I live on Long Island in New York and almost everywhere I bet, well atleast in my area, the most it goes up to is probobly $420... Sucks for you its $700 where you live.

but i\'m not stupid enough to pay $699(can) for a graphics card

It\'s right there in the quote where i live, look real close at the price i posted, the answer is beside it.

...i wonder what the rock walls would look like close up

Thats what the game looks like on my 64meg GF2 (at 20ish FPS but I am not so anal as some [shakes a fist at those who complain about 30FPS]).  The game looks great but suffers horribly from its low-poly count.  What does the PS2 version look like?

[nO-One]

Yes,I was thinking about posting these.

But you will only get to play this game if you buy an Elsa Gladiac GF.3 card,since this is a GF.3 optimized version of Giants and will not be sold in stores.It\'ll come with Gladiac cards.

Wow it seems the word anal is really popular amoung this forum, sorry but that sort of thing is reserved for woman, LOL,LOL -just kidding not me I would never do that sort of thing, he, he.

The textures are nice and sharp.. Almost 2 sharp

It does look nice.. But it still doesnt use that many polygons as you can see.. (I hope your not blind!)

IMO (strictly IMO!!) I think FFX looks way better..(with the effects, water, gras ect. and the characters!)

I still think they look downright fantastic

but Ogodlything here obviously isn\'t satisfied with these unimpressive shots so I\'ll just pretend that they\'re good enough
