    Phwoar! I'd raid her tomb anyda... her tom... her. Oh dear.

    Ah a picture of her arse, really sets the premise up well for this game.

  • jack_klugman #3 6 years ago

    Next gen. innit.

    There is no next gen. It's all a hoax.

    But seriously, that second screenshot first made me realise something I've seen in some xbox360 games before ... does anyone else think the shadow and light rendering on the machine is really fucking ugly? Take Rumble Roses XX for example, they tried to bumpmap their muscles and curves but it really looks as if they've been rolling in motor grease instead of actual shadows.

    Is this just my imagination?

    Rolling in motor grease you say? Hey, this game sounds better everyday...

    I have noticed that the highlights and reflections look a bit over-the-top and seem to wash out many of the images i've seen. Of course that may just be that they took the screenie just after a lens flare or something.
    Anyway, i'll be buying this game regardless. :)

    reality_cheque: I knew exactly what was coming there. :D

    I think its the dev's not the machine. Its a case of; 'the machine can do this...' so we'll put it on 100% on everything. After a while we should see these techniques used a little more subltly. This seems to be a chronic case of 'Bloom to mask cross platform shite'.

    The textures are quite nasty. To be very honest, looks similar to some good recent PS2 titles. And yes, the FEAR trick is going on here too - hide bland furniture and rectangular rooms behind lots of smoke and nice bullet-time.

    Seems all the bump mapping went on... you know where.
