Sethos Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 *yawn*Haven't people learned by now to wait for IN-GAME screens? hahahaha! Did you just buy a Playstation 2 or something? There are better looking games out for the '360 at this time. Those graphics aren't "Unrealistic" to be in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those graphics aren't "Unrealistic" to be in-game. No, I'm actually a 360 owner, since you asked. If you don't already understand the concept of "puffing" a game's graphics, I'm certainly not going to explain it - it's something that has gone on for a while now, with Sony being the worst offender typically. And, yeah, there may be games that look better than that for the 360, but I don't see ANY indication that those screens are in game. Hence, I don't believe the game will look like that. It's just irritating that people get all excited about pretty pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were Pre-rendered, they are the worse ones I've seen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2007 This doesn't do the Xbox360 any justice, at all. It actually does. Considering baseball games are a lot harder to do than your average fps and such since all 10 - 13 players on the field all have to have unique textures and meshes loaded, the crowd is rendered in 3D, and the stadiums are very vast open spaces which will naturally consume power to render. On top of that, any sports games require liquid smooth animation and framerate in order to deliver the experience. Last year they failed to polish the game and it frustrated me to no end, so I'm really looking forward to this. This will most likely be the title that upgrades me to a 360.

So, take for example Gears of War. Or Call of Duty. Or Rainbow Six Vegas. These tax the 360's engine less than a baseball game? :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 i think bangbang wanted to say sports titles are simulations and thus obliged/expected to be more lifelike whereas action titles (including WWII ones) can take greater liberties. plus those focus on the action so players may not have as much time to stop and evaluate the textured roses.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 13, 2007 When you get used to watching baseball on HDTV then you would know that the fans in the background would be in better focus. I'm always amazed that HDTV cameras seem to keep for near and far objects in relatively good focus. The first screen shot seems to emulate the blur of standard definition TV.

That's probably going to be for the dramatic replays. One thing that amazes me, in the videos posted in another thread, is not only the fully 3D crowd, but the individual fans walking around the stands.

WigglesTheFish Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have been anxiously awaiting the "next-gen" baseball games... I seriously cannot wait for a good baseball game that takes use of the Wii controller... Wii Sports Baseball cannot satisfy me. I know the graphics look amazing in the screens, but the potential of actual "involvement" in the game via the Wii makes me very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
