WarDevil. Amazing or what?
polycounter lvl 17
i mean they have achieved 1080p at 60 frames per second on PS3! isn't that amazing?. personally i think it's fraud; i think the secret is that it just uses complete texture baking. what do you guys think?

I have to agree with Vassago, the newer vids don't look as nice as the older ones.
And uhm 1080p without upscaling from 720p ? A lot is possible with the Cell however, it just takes a lot of work and expertise to actually be able to use it in a game. Perhaps they did succeed in using it very effectively?
I don't like it's art direction, and it looks, really, worse than Doom 3 based on Google images.
The guy in that Edge article is really up himself too, describing basically all CG movies (including Pixar) as "the same style" and then in the same breath saying that WarDevil is different and "stylistical". What utter bollocks.
Anyone got any links to videos?
joking aside, WarDevil looks like another game that's trying to be super-real looking and they are using the stylized argument to explain away the weird character design.
Or maybe I'm weird. I just prefer lower-res textures - more artful, less likelihood of "welp, lots of detail, looks sharp, must be done!" ... but I don't know. Haven't seen much of it so my judgment is just adding to, and riffing on the pre-existing negativity of the thread. There is some pretty bad CG in movies; seriously, high-resolution models and textures... they don't make something automatically awe-inspiring. Maybe to the unwashed masses.
Pats on the back for all involved!
LINKS PEOPLE!!! LINKS!!
seriously.
do you work for digi guys or something? vids or fail't.
Probably not allowed to comment much on this stuff anyway, beyond promoting it (same as most employees of most studios)
I still don't really know what the game is though. It feels like a lot of hot air unfortunately, mainly coming from one man's mouth...

I know about light-baking and baking everything down to one mega-texture, what are you talking about?
The preview video makes it look like it uses baked lighting because of the "light, texture & shadows" pass.
yeah but what the hell where you talking about? is there a recent interview out? an article? a link basically.
PS. what happened to Project Offset?
All relevant links are posted in this thread. It's kind of anti-climatic!
and baked lighting is considered "cheating" now! OH NOES!

i don't know why there is this setting. i don't see why i should forever be treated like an idiot because i did not know about this obscure pointless option.
EDIT: great. it doesn't work anymore so either they fixed it or there is actually something wrong with my brain like you say.
homey dont play dat
