rate the Xbox360 games shown so far....

I was wondering how the games stacked up to your expectations overall
just list all the Xbox360 games you saw & if any of them impressed you or if you thought they were a major disappointment

I only downloaded the low res videos from IGN & most of these games aren't on the final hardware????
but even with that the graphically quality is still what the final product will be like

-PGR3 - disappointed, looks a LITTLE (not a lot) better then whats out now
-Test Drive - MAJOR disappointed, Forza looks better
-Need For Speed - disappointed, maybe a little better then PGR3
-Perfect Dark Zero - looks like a Dreamcast game BIG TIME disappointed
-Madden - NOT disappointed, but not really amazed
-Tiger Woods - looked like it could be on Xbox, disappointed
-Tony Hawk - WORST Xbox360 TITLE SHOWN BY FAR!
-Kameo - looks EXACTLY like last years e3 Xbox build, disappointed
-Dead or Alive 4 - looks like what Dead or Alive would look on Xbox if Tecmo used Normal mapping, disappointed
-Gears of War - probably the best looking 360 title, but the framerate was crap & didn't look all that more advanced then Splinter Cell: CT
-Ghost Recon 3 - Not that disappointed, but not impressed
-Quake 4 - doesn't even look as good as Doom 3, disappointed
-Call of Duty - looks a little cleaner then the PC version, disappointed

I'm a pretty big fan of Xbox, the most games I have for a console is Xbox, I play XBL regularly, & generally like Xbox more then PS2/GC, BUT GOD FUCKIN DAMN SHIT did the MTV/360 preview SUCKED ASS
anyone MUCH MUCH MUCH less excited to buy an Xbox360 now after that piece of shit previews?

WTFer- total disappointment. Should be scrapped and rebuilt as a hello kitty MMO.

I'm disappointed we've let WTFer stick around this long.

edit: damn you Rumpy

*gasp* mzo changed his av. It's like a new haircut. I didn't recognize you.

"-PGR3 - disappointed, looks a LITTLE (not a lot) better then whats out now"

-Madden - NOT disappointed, but not really amazed
you're dumb

-Gears of War - probably the best looking 360 title, but the framerate was crap & didn't look all that more advanced then Splinter Cell: CT
you're dumb

-Ghost Recon 3 - Not that disappointed, but not impressed

"Look at me! I base all my impressions simply on the graphics of 5 second clips!"

Uh, why isn't Gears of War on that list?

It's there.

No Auto Drive? Pfft, and you call this a 360 game list.

Why do I feel as though the 360 unveiling is the equivelant to finding out there is no Santa Claus, from a whisper, just months before Christmas. But you still hold out hope that there is.

No. I think most of them, all but PD Zero and Madden 2006 (which we know is rendered footage) really, were about 2 seconds. This thread is the definition of jumping the gun.

I think I've mentioned it elsewhere, but Gears of War and Ghost Recon 3 were about the only two games that impressed me from the quick "preview" shown. I'm willing to give Microsoft and the developers the benefit of the doubt though. Like Diff ,says weve barely seen these things,and I'll reserve hard judgement until I see more than shit MTV specials.
And yeah, Tony Hawk was a lolercaust.

Developers are only just beginning to work with unified shaders, and those clips were probably running from dev systems..
Brief, lo-res vids of hi-res games don't tell the whole story. The games may not look all that great at first sight, but I'm sure there are a lot of cool effects that have yet to be implemented or are too subtle to notice in those tiny clips.
Things like depth-of-field, more realistic lighting, and universal HD support are the kinds of things you just take for granted until you get used to them and then go back to older games that don't have them.

Your an idiot, really, you are.

HA! This thread is a joke. Wait till e3 to judge so quick. Once we get some insight on more games, and see more footage of listed games, I'm sure heads will be spinning.

And how the hell could you tell Gears of War was slow and choppy? They showed it for all of 2 seconds, if that.

Xbox360 = Xbox with better graphics. WTF were you expecting?

And yet they're the same engine utilizing much of the same effects and design.

Apparently, he didn't. I'm going to guess he looked up the listing of what titles were shown and then just wrote stuff.

Go look at Ridge Racer V and any game on the PS1. You should be the one to STFU.

come on now,the framerate dropped to single digits when that monster stormed in.
the normal mapping for those two soldiers looked closer in detail to Splinter Cell CT then this:

I still haven't seen anything that looks better then Unreal 2007, I guess my expectations were way to high

Unreal 2007 will be coming out on Xbox 360, idiot.

yeah but those are the PC screens I believe

as far as you know the 360 port could be downgraded as much as Doom 3 was for Xbox

I guess I jumped the gun tho

http://hem.bredband.net/chsid/japanese_games_vids.wmv
if that is in game footage then Xbox 360 = god

they also just showed Madden game on the news, the games look a LOT better on a TV then those mpeg clips

it's just
http://www.1up.com/media?id=1881951&type=lg
http://www.1up.com/do/imageDisplay?id=1881948

not a massive MONSTER jump in quality, well at least not enough to cancel the Xbox version

You're more blind than Jeremy. Of course, I'm not saying that the right side is super impressive or anything...but the difference between those two halves is huge.

It's huge but it's not MONSTER!

This cartoon sucks.

no SHIT theres a difference, but did they need to cancel the near finished Xbox version for THAT upgrade?

-Test Drive - MAJOR disappointed, Forza looks better
you're dumb

btw Joust, please go download the Ign video of Test Drive, the one with the French developer giving info on the game with the footage

HOW THE FUCK is that game better looking then Forza??
the pics that they showed looked nice, but the video was A-S-S for a next gen game

ANYWAYS if THIS is in-game, then unlike all of you, I'm an idiot to doubt the all mighty powerful Xbox 360
http://hem.bredband.net/chsid/japanese_games_vids.wmv

but if it's CGI then FUCK ALL Y'ALL
because when the fuck was it a crime to have HIGH expectations for a new console?
Xbox did so much with it's graphics & after seeing the new Tony Hawk & Test Drive they didn't even look like 1st gen Xbox games

What game is that, anyway?

The left side looks like an N64 game.

It's Kameo. And I totally thought they were comparing the N64 version to the Xbox version, the fact it's comparing the Xbox to the 360 version adds insult to injury.

Kameo was set to be the worst looking game on Xbox; I'm glad they pushed it to better hardware.

And anyone that doesn't think the difference between the right and the left is huge is a moron. Yes the right side looks poor for the 360, but that doesn't change the fact that it's 100x better than the left side.

Both sides look like shit for their respective systems.

TITTY

What video are you guys looking at?

Cause that was so NOT Kameo.

Nobody has seen enough to really judge anything, but I'll rate the games that were mentioned from 1-5 according my interest level. Plus I'll add a couple.


-PGR3: 4/5 - it's going to be a rehash, but the first good racing game on a new system is always exciting.

-Test Drive: 1/5 - no interest. I'll get PGR3 and then hold out for the next Forza.

-Need For Speed: 2/5 - nah, I'd rather play PGR3 and I'm not going to get 2 racing games at launch. Plus EA sucks.

-Perfect Dark Zero: 5/5 - I like shooters, and I'm confident that Rare will come through.

-Madden: 2/5 - I don't really like sports games. Plus EA sucks.

-Tiger Woods: 1/5 - whatever, I'm not going to play a golf game.

-Tony Hawk: 3/5 - EA sucks, but the "one big city with no load times" idea sounds cool.

-Kameo: 4/5 - Rare is going to have trouble getting this up to Xbox 2 standards after spending 5 years trying to get it up and running on the Cube and then the Xbox. But I thought it looked promising at E3 last year - sort of like a Zelda game with some interesting gameplay hooks. And the new screens are pretty.

-Dead or Alive 4: 4/5 - it's going to be a visual powerhouse, and the Dead or Alive games are always fun to play while drunk, because they're easy, breezy, Japanesey, and have lots of mostly naked girls jumping around.

-Gears of War: 4/5 - hyped as the best-looking launch game, and I haven't seen anything to debunk that yet.

-Ghost Recon 3: 3/5 - looks very solid all around, but I'm not too into that style of shooter.

-Quake 4: 4/5 - looking good, and it's from a studio that knows what it's doing.

-Call of Duty: 2/5 - nah, sick of all these WWII shooters.

-Blue Dragon: 5/5 - I'm of course eager to see how the first real J-RPG on a Microsoft system will turn out. From a developer with a real pedigree, too.

-Ninety-Nine Nights: 4/5 - Kingdom Under Fire on speed?

Sadly, yes it was. I even went looking for Kameo shots because I didn't believe that the left side was the Xbox version, but then I found a ton of the Xbox pics with the exact same health and magic bars (low quality and all).

Kameo has some serious issues apparantly.

I think he means this video:

Its issue is that it's a 6 year old Nintendo 64 game.

Because this link does not lead to any 360 game I've seen or heard of.

I haven't seen anything that looks all that greatly improved over what we're currently playing.

Bottom line, I'm gonna keep collecting used xbox titles till the price on new games comes down. My money's better off going towards what I missed out on.

The game from that video are clips from the trailer of Ninety-Nine Nights (Tetsuya Mizuguchi's game).

From the short clips I've seen, this one has potential to be outstanding. Ubi needs to take some cues from Gearbox [Brothers in Arms] on managing squad movement.

I thought I read that one of the Phantagram [KuF] directors was heavily involved in this. That bodes well since KuF was great in its own right, and new hardware (and a bit of polish) could realize the vision behind that game.

The Ghost Recon 3 footage was rendered. There's no official word on this, but a few industry-types from Gaming Age have said as much. But you're right, the footage does look great. I love the Robocop HUD.

I'm talking about the picture of Kameo, not the video of the Japanese game.

So no, we are not currently talking about the same thing.
