Airforce Deta II - Xbox Shots:

The lighting is horrible the colors are too bright and it looks VERY unrealistic...the DC could do this no-doubt about it...

AC4(a game very early in development) looks photo-realistic on the PS2....you can\'t beat photo-realistic;)

In the spirit of... uhhh... something ... not to start a fight, but I would like to say:

1)those pics are very small.
2)DC could do most PS2 games plus quite a few things shown for both XB and GC.
3)Yes, AC4 is early, but as far as we know, those photo realistic backrounds are just that, static photos.
4)Its not unrealistic to think the AC4 pics were touched up either. Lots of companies do it, ppl just didnt make such a big deal about it til now.

AC4 looks alot better

Incomplete hardware , yes

but sorry Ethugg, XBox was supposed to be a killer, and until it leaves no doubt that it is, I\'m not taking it seriously anymore.

I have an Xbox pre-order, but as of right now I have 0 intention of excersing it.

I also feel the PS2 will have alot of strengths over both the Xbox and PS2 beyong graphics. I honestly feel top notch PS2 games like MGS2 and all its attention to detail would have trouble running on both those machines.

but this is a different argument. Still there are more to great games then FSAA and lots of polygons and textures, granted everyone loves a sweet "Looking" game, but watching the latest interview from Gamespot showing off all the amazing stuiff in the Game its really helps to show off what the PS2\'s emotion engine is all about.

Time will tell, but I\'m seeing enough cool stuff and read enough interviews about the state of the art techniques being used that can be done because of the PS2\'s EE.

yes ac4 looks better

this looks just a level above an averge pc flight sim, check out the mountains and the ground textures. ps2\'s textures in ac4 look alot better than these. But its gameplay over graphics anyway...and we know that tha ac series has been know for its excelent gamelay!

I just wish the pictures I posted were bigger so we can get a clearer look.

incase anyone was wondering I found the pictures @ http://us.famitsu.com

(which you can just tell by right-clicking the shots)

My opinion, AC4 (which is also in early development looks better).. and I\'m not even talking about the big clear pictures that are recent,.. I\'m talking about the first ever shots released of it, which were about the same size as these.

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

Hey guys these are just screenshots lets not judge untill we see the games in motion. I really do not like to hype up a game over screens there are other factors that will make a game great like framerate and gameplay depth. Right now every thing is over rated coming from all sides. When I first saw screens of Onimusha I was not impressed however after playing the game I loved it. I dont get to worked up over screen shots. Besides we are talking about super consoles here you are not going to see blaring differences between them they will all have something to offer. The DC weakest of them all still looks amazing(PSO) Air force Delta is not close to being the flagship game for X-box. I say lets wait and see.

Jiggs,

That\'s pretty much how I see things... Games nowadays have to be seen in motion to be appreciated. Screenshots don\'t do games justice anymore.

I felt the same way about Onimusha till I saw it on my tv.

Obviously you haven\'t seen any of the videos, the backgrounds are fully textured polygons. Even the lighting on the mountains is in real time. Just thought I\'d clear that up.

Woops  Now I feel compelled to reply...

Wait.  You mention a game that will be coming out sometime around a year after the PS2\'s release while citing beta games with 6+ months of dev time left before their host system launches as a reason not to be interested in the Xbox?  That simply does not make sense to me.

By your logic you should not have a PS2 since its "killer" (quoted because I am using DDaryl\'s word, not out of sarcasm) strengths will not realized until later this year.  Are you certain that you did not simply have an unrealistic idea of how correctly GameStock would represent the launch games and are now coming off the hype-trip?

I am fine if people are just not interested in the Xbox.  However if someone who was once very pumped about it then jumps to the other side of the scale over some screenshots and *.avi\'s of beta games it piques my curiosity to say the very least.

Anyway, all in good fun

So do i:D

Yes it does dumbass...xbox is according to microsoft going to draw 125,000,000 polygons with heavy texturing and lighting...it is going to perform at speeds of 1 teraflop....has it done that? HELL NO..will it do it? HELL NO?? should half of that destroy PS2? yes...has it? HELL NO..

if xbox is this godly console that would destroy everything in it\'s path and be very easy to use...it should have destroyed every PS2 game...yet it does NOT will not and NEVER will...

dumb bitch...the thing is that PS2 was very hard to use..xbox is NOT..there for it should destroy everything from the start yet it does NOT and never will..

even half of what microsoft claims xbox will do should destroy PS2 but why does it not? oh yeah IT\'S ALL BS..

next time you talk to your ***** ass friend j allard tell him to stop the dumbass PR, don\'t hype up events you will disappoint at....

buy a clue *****...xbox did NOT deliver what microsoft said it would....ddaryl\'s feelings/opinions are his business but i agree with them...

i wish i could bust some semen up your moms ass so maybe she could have a kid and not be a loser like your self...HO.

all in good fun eh?

Hehe... for everyone but you, for everyone but you.

Is it really that hard to debate without swearing? Does it make your points better? No, it just makes you look weaker. Sarcasm is much better. But my point was N-Player and others that this may concern, please cut back on the offensive words. They aren\'t really needed.

I think that flight game looks nice, so does AC4. Both games are incomplete so I\'ll reserve my final judgement until they\'re done (and I\'ve tried them). But I think all this Xbox bashing is a bit of a ... gamble. What if the final games will simply blow you away? Then you\'ll look like a fool for saying how pathetic it was. But then again, if it really doesn\'t look much better than PS2, then you can bash it.

Oh dear,

Nplayer..you really hate hoj3 so much don\'t you??I agree with Samwise to keep it civil..still its interesting to see AC4 and AFD pics side by side just to see how ps2 stand against its competition.Can someone do the honour coz my Geocity is suffering from bankruptcy?.

I believe AFD will get better because its still early in development and not running on the real machine.But AC4 will get and looked better too.

I agree with you guys, that game isn\'t running on final hardware yet, so its hard to judge. The screeen are to small to see the details (jaggies, texture quality and such) So I wait for bigger ones til I make my final comment!

and N-player is getting on my nerves(you should see him on msxbox). Why is a nintendo fan defending ps2 and bashing xbox? sounds fishy to me
