Joshua Stubbles

Some new screen shots .vs. real life comparisons, as well as pics from the new sandbox editor. The characters look hot!

SHEPEIRO

hmmm it does look damn tasty. i really want to see animation of those breakers, then ill wet my pants if they do it good.

Pedro Amorim

Dang. That looks very nice! We will just have to wait and see and the game runs.

Joao Sapiro

i bet that even my computer wont support that game at 60 fps...

Tulkamir

That is freaking sexy shit.

FrenchConnection

Im very impressed, cant wait to see it run and play it. It just look Amazing to me.

Neo_God

That is very impressive. But yes, watching this game being played on an actual PC or console is what I'd like to see. They're doing a good job with those assets though.

McIlroy

That's as good ( advanced ) as it gets right now ...can't wait to see what ID has in store !

Neo_God

But you know what? I'm sure whatever id has in store for us, Epic is already planning on outdoing. It's a vicious cycle. But as long as it's their we'll always be seeing awesome engines. Now...where's my fucking virtual reality already?!

arshlevon

yeah i cant wait till reality is achived either so we can move on already. reality is played out, i have to walk around in it everyday for christ sake, last thing i want to do is come home and pretend to walk around in it.

HonkyPunch

I really really want a fucking awesome compy.
I want that game, I want to make babies with that game.

Amen to that.

Pretty. Pity the game looks like the same crap we've seen in every other FPS ever.

malcolm

Hmmmm, these shots mimic the reference shots really well but the reference shots have a very specific light rig. Shadows are not always crisp and black so this tech really only solves one very specific time of day and sun direction. Looks like the lighting will fall apart at night time or an over cast day or indoors. What happened to their "real time ambient maps" <-made up word that they were bragging about in that indoor tech demo.

Penzer

looks amazing though! Funny how the closer something gets to reality, the more each little flaw shows. Looks amazing though, can't wait to see more of it.

hawken

just good textures, init.

road tiling still looks shite!! when will someone sort that out?

MoP

This is mainly just showing that they can photosource well.
Shame the screenshots are so tiny too, doesn't really show much other than the general composition and colours are the same as the reference.
Their real-time vehicle shader demo was more impressive to me.

Malcolm: I believe they're still doing their "dynamic" baked ambient lightmap things, but only for certain rooms (ie. ones with lights that can swing).

I know someone who saw this running recently and he said it was 10-15fps maximum, even on a very beefy demonstration PC.
Plus, from what I've seen of the gameplay videos, it's a distinctly average re-hash of most existing FPS games.

splitpoly

All of this, yet why do I suspect the characters will move like they've shat their pants.

Neo_God

Damn, that is really cool looking MoP. It makes me wish I had whatever shader they're using for Max. It also makes me feel like I have a lot of research to do on newer 3d tech.

Michael Knubben

I've been more impressed by the videos than these lame comparisons, to be honest. They hardly show us anything, other than --as mop said-- that they could match the colours somewhat acurately. Also, you'd think people would use this technology for creating something you can't see in everyday life, instead of just painstakingly recreating reality. That's just me though, i don't see the use in that, most of the time.

Eric Chadwick

Thanks for linking the vid MoP. Love the live vertex-paint idea for blending layers.
