New incredible Xbox movie! (think of Doom3! :)).
« on: March 14, 2001, 04:16:32 AM »
Ok, it\'s not Doom3, but in terms of lighting, soft/hard realtime shadows and model detail, it\'s the nearest I\'ve seen so far on the Xbox (currently featuring the same NV20 GPU).

Enjoy! :)

ROTFLMAO!!!!

hey...DOC, where is my pie?....can\'t serve it can you?..:D

i told you they would not beat PS2 graphics, yet you don\'t listen....

*feeds DR yassam humble pie*

it\'s a tech-demo and the GCN tech-demos look better than that.....the xbox games on (according to microsoft)"xbox hardware" are just pathetic.....GT3.MGS2 murder them.

and in the superchat(is that what it was called?) developers said the demos show were on final hardware...i was there my self, so unless they are liars what we see today is xbox hardware.

I WIN..:D
. I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, in terms of ingenuity, exclusivity, and console competition, X-Box brings nothing to the table except a fat wad of cash and some rehashed PC components wrapped with a DC controller and a plastic black box.----RYU

It looks quite nice.The shadows are very good.But as he said it\'s a tech demo,they always look super good.

It\'s a demo running on their game engine, just like the Doom3 demo! It\'s not a specially written tech demo for the XBox, hence it is comparible to iD\'s demonstration. This is what the final game WILL look like, since it will be running on the SAME game engine!

NPlayer -

Gamestock has shown us a mere glimpse of the XB\'s power, and even at this early stage (6 months before release), there is no PS2 game which is comparible to the graphics seen in the Halo movie, or even the movie I posted above. Even Munch\'s Oddysee has improved *significantly* from the PS2 pics.

So I\'m afraid it\'s you who should be eating that pie (or atleast have your mouth on it).

Gamestock is not the main event for the XBox this month, that honour goes to TGS (March 30th - April 1st), for which it will have to compete against games from both Sony and Nintendo. This is the REAL test for the XBox, perhaps even make or break time!

Prior to TGS, we have the Games Developer Conference (TGS) on March 20th - 24th, which is more likely to reveal major new XBox games than Gamestock.

Until then, I\'ll keep that pie nice and hot for you! :D

Oh and, as for your claim about final hardware;

http://www.coremagazine.com/news/3854.php3

"Next was the moment everyone was waiting for, the unveiling of several XBox titles. The games themselves were running on Alpha2 development kits, which represent half of the finished system\'s power. "

Er-hem!

And try reading that link fully before repying. :)

LOL...HALO LOOKS LIKE THE SAME DAMN GAME WE SAW EONS AGO....god, this was the disappointment of the show for me....months and months of work yet NOTHING has changed....MGS2 is still FAR superior than this PC port.

1/2 the power eh?...the xbox does 125mpps fully textured and lit(according to mighty microsoft)....now half of that is around 50-60mpps to work with(xbox is VERY VERY easy to use right)...do any of those game even look like they have 50mpps polygons?...nope.


either way....it\'s a disappointment.:D

so not it\'s TGS eh?...I\'M SICK OF THIS....first CES...then Gamestock now TGS and later E3?....xbox already failed to deliver 2 times now.....

here is a preview of TGS:

Konami PS2 games: 10?
konami xbox games: 1?.....

LOL

Yet GT3 and MGS2 are STILL the most wanted and most impressive games on the PS2, despite the fact that it is now a year since the console was released in Japan!

Whilst MGS2 is impressive (and a totally different game!), it just doesn\'t compare to Halo graphically. Of course in gameplay terms, things could be different, but we\'ll have to wait and see (the MGS2 demo was excellent but it didn\'t exactly blow gamers away!).

And where did they claim 125mpps INGAME? That\'s right NOWHERE. Hence at 50-60mpps on the NV20, you will NOT see 50-60mpps INGAME! That should be OBVIOUS!
Like ALL gaming systems, the more effects you use, the greater the impact on polygon rate.

Where\'s the PS2 game with 66mpps INGAME, or even half that figure INGAME? Like an explaination as to why there will never be such performance from a PS2 game? Or do you still not understand how 3D hardware works?

As I said before, we are only NOW starting to see XBox games on NV20 hardware. Gamestock is NOT the main event of this month (hence no major announcements). Next there is GDC, an opportunity for developers to show each other what they can do (i.e. to show off), hence we should see more interesting games there. Then of course, there\'s TGS.

But also, let\'s not forget that all we\'ve seen are a few of MS\'s FIRST-PARTY games 6 month\'s before launch.

Compare these to Sony\'s first-party launch game(s), i.e. Fantavision. Hmmm.....

As DR\'s Vent says;
http://www.dailyradar.com/columns/game_column_663.html

"Of course, this is only the first-party stuff, and if the PS2 launch taught us anything, it was that third-party games can carry you when your first-party lineup is weak. Can you imagine how PS2s would have sold if there had been no Madden, SSX or TTT -- and Fantavision had been the only launch title? Ouch."

Hmmm...

XBox\'s first-party lineup is looking SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than Sony\'s effort. Hence I\'m REALLY looking forward to the third-party games!

That means nothing! When Konami first demonstrated MGS2, not only was this the ONLY impressive title from Konami, but it was the only REALLY impressive PS2 title at the show!

ONE incredibly impressive game means much more than 10 average games (and no I\'m not saying Konami\'s PS2 games will all be average!).
