Red Steel - First Revolution Screensots

Blank · 08-04-2006, 12:58 PM

I think those screens look real nice, especially for a console that isn't as powerful as the 360 or PS3.

The game is being developed by Ubisoft, and will be a Rev exclusive. I for one cannot wait for it

Wingman1977 · 08-04-2006, 01:01 PM

Finally, some Revolution game footage. I'm now leaning towards buying a revolution. E3 will finalize my decision on whether or not I'm getting a Revoultion

Don_Rico · 08-04-2006, 01:09 PM

It looks nice, but I belive it when I see it.

Cougar50 · 08-04-2006, 02:02 PM

That looks pretty good. I like how it shows what the people are doing with the controller. I think it would be pretty neat to play an fps game and use the controller as your gun.

I 100% promise you that will not be what Revolution games look like. Well, I dont, but im pretty much certain.

The machine is severely underpowered, remote control or no remote control you cant get round that.

Basically, remember the Xbox ports of a few months ago? Well look at the PC games they came from and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the Revs graphics will look like, good, but nothing spectaculer.

Also, Ubi pretty much allways release pre rendered stuff before launch.

Looks fun, but my rule is 1 system per gen

willfight4u · 08-04-2006, 07:20 PM

looks cool...

On top of everything else, the mag promises that Red Steel will not only support an online multiplayer mode, but arrive as a launch title later this year.

I have a feeling this game will rule

Also, Ubisoft says you will be able to use a freaking sword in the game!

It sounds awsomer by the second

Don_Rico · 09-04-2006, 04:01 PM

Yeah. A sword with that controller *drools*

I can't wait for a Star Wars game for the Rev', I want to chop my friends head off with a lightsaber.

I don't like the look. Seems extra glossy yet fuzzy to me. I like the idea behind the gun and/or sword, but these "screen shots" are under-whelming for my taste. Sure, I should be impressed considering the supposed Rev.'s hardware, but that screen shot isn't enough to make me a buyer yet.

You promise us based on what information exactly? Game Informer was able to PLAY the title, so naturally if these screenshots were touched up, they'd let us know seeing as they've already had their hands on it. Plus a top Ubisoft employee who posts on the IGN boards (and has had his identity verified) also claims the game will look like this. Maybe even better, if you're asking me.

We don't even know whether those Nintendo specs were real. They were unveiled by an anonymous source to IGN. Nintendo hasn't confirmed nor denied them, but Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto did say that what's on paper didn't matter, "the games will look just as visually impressive as the PS3 and 360's".

This isn't prerendered, this is actual game footage.

Yes, you will be able to use a sword (and not just any sword) from the very beginning and take it out at any time during the game. You can also stealth up behind enemies and one-hit-kill them with it.

I agree... it really looks like an Xbox game. But, as Bionic mentioned, the final game may look even better.

I like the idea of the gun and/or sword too... but I really can't wait to try it to see if it really works (and works well).

I agree that we don't know how real those specs are... and hopefully they'll end up better. Nonetheless, the Rev should be a very capable machine. However, it would make since that Nintendo would claim that "what's on paper doesn't matter"... since on paper the Rev probably won't even compare to the 360/PS3. But the statement that the Rev's games "will look just as impressive as the PS3's & 360's" is not only laughable (based on what we know about the 3 machines), but its hot air that is worthy of Sony's Ken Kutargi!

I have no doubt that the Rev's games will look good, maybe even great... but compared to the hardware in the Big N's competitors, let's be realistic.

You never know though, there are still a few secrets Nintendo haven't announced yet. I genuinely believe displacement mapping could be one of them. This would simply entail that Nintendo's system may not look so great on paper but the games will still be visually impressive due to the rendering techniques this will open up.

It honestly depends what you want to believe. If Ken Kutaragi is to be believed, the PS3 will be in 4D, be roughly 20-30 times more powerful than the PS2 and will run at 120 FPS. I don't know about you but i'm sceptical to say the least. You have to bear in mind that Red Steel has been in development for less than a year and looks almost as good (for the mostpart) as Perfect Dark Zero, a title which has been in development for many years. I'm not a graphics whore but I get the distinct impression that Nintendo may be telling the truth this time and that the Revolution will have similar visuals to its competition. After all, the GC was by no means the most powerful console this generation but it sure did benchmark some of the most beautiful titles.

I'm curious to see what secrets Nintendo has up their sleeve as well. But honestly I completely expect that the Rev's graphics will be inferior to the competition. I'm pretty sure they (Nintendo) do as well, since they're hyping the game play (which is certainly what I'd be doing).

Not to mention they've already followed the path of functionality/game play Vs hardware overkill/graphics with the DS (versus the PSP) and the Big N has definitely had success.

But like you said... you just never know.

I'm also skeptical of anything Ken has to say about the PS3. Of course, I'm pretty much skeptical of everything I hear until I've sampled it and can formulate a valid opinion for myself.

I'm sure the Rev will be close behind the competition (graphically), after all the PS2 was pretty close to its competition this generation as well. But to say that the PS2 was "just as visually stunning" as the competition last generation is also laughable. Just look at RE4 on the GC... it was superior in every way (except sales) to the PS2's version. But these two consoles were very close in the hardware department... whereas I don't think the Rev will be as similar to the PS3/360 in that department (judging by their price target). But we'll see... I guess we can speculate all day long, but at the end of the day it doesn't mean much until the Rev & PS3 are available and a real comparison can be made.

I can't wait!

Hm, to say it looks as good as PDZ graphically is a bit far fetched IMO. Maybe a general image, but I very much doubt it has the super high res textures of PDZ that basically meant you could approach any surface without losing graphical quality, people allways overlook that but it adds an awful lot to realism.

I belive my last post was made at an unholy hour in the morning, whatever the time on it says, and looking at the image again, it is very general. In that, nothings close enough to get a sense of whether the textures are any good or last gen standard.

Oh, and a side note on Ken. Emotion engine anyone? PS3 can run at 280FPS, when the human eye cant see anything over 120? Dual 1080P output, when its emerged games will be running at 720P at launch? The list of farse goes on. All this man serves to do is give the fanboys ammunition for and against eachother, its all rather tiresome.

The official website has been launched, although there isn't any information on there at the moment - clicky!

Wingman1977 · 13-04-2006, 10:40 AM

I see you got those pics from the May issue of Game Informer. There's more pics on that article that you should have posted that are better looking. It is a very interesting game. I'm still undecided on whether or not to purchase the Revolution at launch.

Sharky · 13-04-2006, 11:14 AM

I'm not really worried about how it looks... as I'm sure it'll be fine. I want to see how it works with the controller.
