Not to sound ignorant, but nowhere does it state anywhere that these screens are ingame. The two black borders at the top and bottem let me assume that these are cut-scenes or even more so, prerendered. If they\'re in-game, I\'m impressed, but until E3 we won\'t know for sure.

Judging by the reactions on TXB forums - I hope for their sake that these are in-game screens...

They look in-game, and they look like something out of GameCube\'s Star Fox Adventures.

That second shot reeks of SFA..

Well, if you have been listening to Xbox rumors for the past several months, Panzer Dragoon Orta was suppose to have incredible graphics; well beyond anything seen in a video game yet. Apparently, those rumors are true.
Here lies a super cool sig

Odd resolution.. (for a console game)

I think they are cutscenes.. Hard to tell.
They can be just resized screens (MS likes to do that alot), which gives you a clear picture like those.

Anyways.. Nice.

Seven, I understand what you mean. I, though, know for a fact that they are in-game. Reporters would not cry real tears upon seeing the game if it only had great-looking cut-scenes. If that were true, then the weeping heard across the country from players of Squares\' FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX would be so loud it would drown out everything, including jetliners.

Anyhow, we\'re finally starting to see proof of Xbox\'s vastly superior graphics horsepower. PD Orta is just the tip of the iceberg, and, considering the fact that people that have seen it in motion say it is almost indistinguishable from CG, that is a hell of a reason to be excited!

Blade, I think you\'ve got it mixed up. The original Panzer Dragoon\'s were doing the whole fly-around-huge-environments-and-blow-$@#!-up thing long before Star Fox was. If anything, Panzer Dragoon inspired and was imitated by the Star Fox/SFA team.

You can\'t call it a fact just because some reporter broke out in tears. For all we have are two screens and the claim of CVG (did you forget how credible CVG is?) that some journalist broke out in tears. Now I\'m just commenting on the two screens - and they have quite an odd size to be called in-game. Maybe I\'m also a bit oversceptical towards Xbox games - but then again, we\'ve had this before with other games that looked superd to "GT3 killer" and turned out nothing like that. We will see how good this game really looks at E3 I guess - until then, I will hold back further judgement based on those two screens.

BTW: when\'s E3?

This folks, is the reason I bought an Xbox and why I\'m a certified Sega fan*****.

I also can\'t see getting all worked up about them either

Purdy, yes.

E3 starts 5/18?

Hhaha.. Why render them at a ridicules high resolution?
Ill tell you why.. They render them at a high res and then downsize them to get a better picture quality.. (This isnt the first time MS has done this.. DoA3, Brutal Force ect)

Thats tampering with pics IMO.

PS2 sluts still in denial???

The graphical leap between Xbox and PS2 will stick out with second gen games such as these...2002 will make a believer out of you fastson.
