King Kong 360 has worse models than PS2 version??

Justin Meisse · Dec 2005

I just read this review on Wired
Check out the picture of Jack Black on PS2 then the Xbox 360 version, what's the deal? Did a different team do the xbox 360 version?

If I had to hazard a guess, my money would be on two different dev teams with no significant sharing of game assets.

LOL, that's awesome and I suspect Paul is probably right. Pretty ridiculous.

I played the xbox 360 version in oxford street last staurday and I wasn't impressed.

BTW got stuck in crawl mode and failed to 'outcrawl' the trex which was chasing me.

Yeah. Thats pretty sad. Those likenesses aren't too hot either. I understand, especially now, how difficult they can be, but come on!

Looks like they needs to license EA's proprietary "face-scan technology" right Daz?
And how inept & reprehensible is that, to use 2 largely unrelated teams with little/no asset sharing? That just seems beyond stupid.

well the jack black would look alright, but his chin is too big, even if he is curling his lower lip up.

anyway, yeah, this is pretty sad.

Here's a comparison of the XBox version and the XBox 360 version.

Sad thing is I think the "worse" models are an attemp at up-rezzing the characters. Although the bodies of the models have much more detail on the 360, as do the environments. It was just the faces that were off.

Eventually, games will have shadows that don't look like ass. I hope.
