FO3 engine, new art

I think that shot was souped up a bit for the cover, but it's still pretty impressive.
 
yeah, it is impressive, but most cover pictures are...and often to trick us into thinking it's a good game :wink:
 
what has been ignored is the facr that the cover clearly states above the game title:
XBOX2 - PLAYSTATION 3 - PC
 
Strange... They look a bit... blurry, as if they were made with waterpaint.

Still, they look damn good. I hope my rig would be up to it... It worked for Doom3, but it looks like this one will be even heavier.

They're magazine scans.
 
So the first-hand pictures in the magazine are less blurry or what?

Give some more information if you're going to act belittling.
 
What? I'm not acting like anything. You said they looked blurry, I said they were magazine scans. How is that belittling in any way shape or form? Now if I laughed at you when I said it or posted a rolleyes then yes it would be considered belittling. I did neither.
 
Thanks man. It goes further into graphical perfection than Doom3, maybe slightly under the Unreal3 engine.
 
wow, the skin on that croc thing looks really impressive, the grass looks very good too, tough the guy looks pretty generical.
 
Its not THAT amazing, and the skin on the croc thing is simple bump mapping, the kind of stuff you see as far back as giants:citizen kabuto. Nothing revolutionary or even remarkable to me.

What would you consider revolutionary?

Do you expect the game to beat you off while you play?

I also LOVE how you can pass judgment on a whole game engine after viewing 4 blurry magazine scans. :roll:

I love how you mouth-stuff in your quantification of their knowledge, whilst your own of the situation was not just clueless, but lazy as well. Considering that they have been around the topic for a bit longer than you, they might just have a bit more information than you might think.

Simple Suggestion:
Less time posting, more time informing yourself.

Yeah because as I've only just registered at this forum it means I came down in the last shower. :roll:
 
Who at this rate will earn himself a 'special' avatar.

Mr. Magnetichead, you are the one who is making belittling statements. Phil just made a comment about the graphics in those screenshots, pointing out that the technology really isn't all that new, which is the plain truth. He wasn't judging the entire game, rather explaining why "revolutionary" would be the wrong word to use.

Because you have just registered on this forum means we have no information on you. You could be a game developer, a fifteen year old boy, or a forty year old women who has just learned about the internet. We have no information to judge that you haven't "come down in the last shower." The history of this forum has proven that it's better not to over-estimate newbies, as quite frankly, quite a few of them would be better off never to come here in the first place.

Now I really don't wish to lock this thread, because there is an interesting discussion on hand. If you wish to duke it out with someone, do it over Private Messages, this is a forum for Fallout 3.

As for the discussion at hand, there really isn't that large a body of images to draw from, it would be nice to have a movie or something of the sort. Right now, it looks nice, but I'm suspicious as how it will run.
 
So Phil, what would make a game look impressive to you? doom 3 sure isn't, it's all just bump-mapping and shaders, nothing new...

That's really something of a moot point given how long Bethesda have taken to make past games. If I'm not mistaken, Morrowind took something like six years.
Then again, they've already produced some "in game" style artwork for it, so it may end up being quicker than that.
At any rate, it'll be a while yet, so you may well have upgraded by then. It will also not be ground breaking by then.
