an example...comparison

ok this is a little example comparison between two game pics on opposite systems (Xbox & PS2 respectively) with viewpoints (draw distance) about the same in each pic as well as similar lighting in a darkened area. the first is Halo on Xbox and probably been in development longer on Xbox than the game shown for PS2 (as it was just announced / shown)

here is Blood Omen 2 on PS2

so where\'s the huge leap? ok we have heard the games are not running on completed hardware but i don\'t buy that argument,the games currently shown (like Halo) will be slightly enhanced from how we see them,they will not be changed magically to some new game,you will be disappointed if you think otherwise

Is there something wrong with the Halo shot that I don\'t see? It looks like a really good screenshot to me.

The Halo is clearly better looking, but Soul Reaver 2 isn\'t the game you should compare it against.

MeTaL=DeaTh- Where is your GameCube pic? Here\'s a random one.



Ha! A demo from a long time ago looks better than both of them. Just goes to show that Nintendo is smart by not hyping their system.

Werd.  I said that same thing as soon as gamestock started and most people just fed me that same old BS excuse "unfinished dev kits."  So, what am I to look forward to when devs have but 3 months to spend with FINISHED dev kits?  NGC\'s have been done since August... I guess we all know which one I\'m looking forward to moreso.

Does that truly matter? I thought this was just a demonstration of the two system\'s graphics. If I\'m wrong then feel free to correct me.

Jumpman you are right,i was just demonstrating game pics (not what type of game they were in comparison or how they played),the visual leap is not there (by the way i\'m thinking both games will be out at similar time?),that\'s what i was pointing out only. i only showed a PS2 vs. Xbox comparison because these systems seem to be the consoles everyone wants to use in a fight also i was looking for similar kinds of pics and well Nintendo didn\'t have much to choose from at this moment (actually i wouldn\'t mind seeing some hyped GC pics about now,the less i see or know of makes me wonder if GC ever gets released j/k )

Werd.

ROLF! I love that expression! Did you see the Simpson\'s episode where that guy from Nsync kept saying that? I do the best impression of it. Werd...I got to cool down...

Wait a second, their dev kits(Microsoft\'s) aren\'t finished yet? How do they plan on releasing this year? Strange, Xbox fans keep muttering that GameCube will be delayed when Xbox\'s dev kits arn\'t even complete and Nintendo\'s have been complete since August! Crazyness.

Yeah.. I know that was your purpose. I just saw an opportunity to make NGC look superior. Sue me.

that gc shot doesn\'t show great draw distance, the real outdoor halo shots do! btw legacy of kain 2 will rock!

.....although Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 is at an early stage of development...it shows graphics close to X-Box\'s one and better than the Zelda\'s one in the overall aspect...my opinion...

and better than the Zelda\'s one in the overall aspect...my opinion...

...

No offense but I don\' care what your opinion is but that Zelda demo looks noticeably better than that PS2 pic. Look at the textures. Can you see the little dents in Gano\'s sword? Awesome. I don\'t think anyone with clear vision would disagree with me on that one.

Bad shadowing, bad textures, jaggies,bad lighting, are not found in the Zelda pic like Blood Omen2 one.

Hmm, I honestly think the Zelda demo looks better than both Halo and Blood Omen 2.

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

Right on!

And like I said, that was just a random pic. Here\'s a better one.



Still having doubts anyone? Dont\' make me find those realtime Rebirth pics!

[BizioEE]

Well....the second shot you showed is really better than the first....I have to correct myself...the graphics is better than both X-B0X\'s one and PS2\'s one.....(I\'m not blind Jump-Man)....only a thing...can you give me some URL where I can find the latest info and shots on the GC?  Thanks

mmmmmm, Zelda.

Anyway, I can\'t see a huge difference in the Halo and Blood Omen pics.  I think they both look good but neither are mind blowing.

so yer showing "polished" tech demo pics of an adventure game to compare with VERY early ingame shots of ps2 and xbox shots.

humans never suprise me
