:shock: the first cople of images look like they are from current generation systems...thats a really bad thing :no
Not really if you look at them.
They are choosing to render extremely detailed environments rather than extremely detailed characters. That is why it looks worse to you.
This is counter to what 99.999% of games do. Usually you have extremely detailed characters with crappy looking environments.
I personally do hope they find a better balence though.
Looking at the overall detail, I imagine that this is one of those games that looks a lot better in motion than in still shots.

Like DOA 4. *cough*

Nothing will help those character models. Seriously...blocky characters need to be a thing of the past. I wonder how horrible King Kong will look?
Lets just put it this way,
I wasn't planning to get the game anyways, now I am definately not getting it.
It is a pitty that so many poor quality developers are able to get money when a lot of the talented groups seem unable to.

Out of all the videos and "stills" I've seen of everything else so far...this game is the worst. I am also not getting this.

I think this is what's referred to as "shovel ware". Basically, they just ported the Xbox version to the X2 and did touch-up here and there. Who's making this game?? Guarantee it's either EA or Ubisoft. Unfortunately, this is something we'll see ALOT of for next gen, a lot of the devs are gonna move their games to the next gen console for launchitis sake (where even cruddy gaves are purchased in droves).

These graphics look horrible for next-gen. I hope the PS3 doesn't have games that look this bad.

Every console will have bad looking games. Doesn't mean the bad games are representative of the console's power.
Solution: Don't buy horrible looking games.
However, if this game turns out to be extremely fun, then it won't matter if the graphics aren't on par with some of the other titles.

I dont think im getting this game. Why is it called King Kong. Is it because of the freaking monkey or for a publicity stunt.

I'm sorry but a game of this type has to have great graphics. Thats like saying if Halo had graphics that looked that bad but was still fun to play people would still buy it. Trust me they won't. This can't be on the X360. It must be for PS2. If it is PS2 then the graphics look great.

I dont think the ps2 can render these graphics. There is way too much in the background. The character faces are bad but the backgorund is awsome. These are next gene graphics and ill tell you why. The developers are trying to make the backgorund look better and not the character. Most games make the characters look nice while making the background look crappy.

Yeah, this definitely isn't the PS2 version. Look at the amazing light, how they capture the look and feel of moonshine filtering through clouds. This is the very low end of the next gen, but still nice to look at.

Sorry to say but these are ps2 screen shots I dont think they released the xbox 360 shots since they look the same but ill send you links to both.

Well the pictures that they posted are xbox360's but the game might also be coming to the ps2.

Do you guys want to rephrase that statement hmmm? I guess the PS2 aint that bad after all. :)

Honestly they do look bad. And from the veiw you can tell that you arent playing, thoes are cinimatic clips.. shudders" if this is the future i dont want to be part of it"(some smart person) :lol: :roll:
Remember that the future will be mixed with really bad games as well as really good games.
Do you hold PC gaming accountable for "Big Rigs" Or did you grade all PS2 games on the quality of Charlies Angles?
It's unfortunate, but true, most games just stink.

Hello all, i can give u a quick word.....this game isn't for Xbox 360, this agme isn't for PS3 and this game isn't for Revolution. IGN tells that this game is for the Nintendo Gamecube, for such a console i pretty much like the graphic's but there nothing compared to the Next - Gen Screenies.
So ill repeat this Screenies are for Nintendo Gambecube!!!

This game look's so bad to me, it's not really going to sell at all. any one can see this game look's like it was made for the xbox and not xbox 360.
If is xbox 360 then they should give up now. :(

for such a console i pretty much like the graphic's
Gamecube can exceed these graphics 20-fold. This is just horrible graphics for any console.
It's multi-platform, on all current consoles AND 360, it's even releasing on PSP,so I'm absoluteley positive these are current gen shots. And let's be honest folks, the backgrounds might be pretty, but they're not beyond what wev'e seen already, in fact they're pretty blocky and foggy, and look at how flat some of the textures are.
Current gen, 100% certain.

Hey PSU team,
This is Eric Blattberg here, suddenly realizing he posted in four random threads before making an introduction thread. As of now I believe I am a temporary staff member with my status currently under evaluation (most likely due to my current age which would be 15, though my birthday is nearly a month from now). I plan to review as many games as I can seeing as I have a passion for both games and writing, the combination seemingly fits. I'll do anything else that is needed around here, just give me a prompt in the right direction. Hopefully you guys can get me up to speed on the current operations of PSU, or simply put how everything works around here. So thank you for inviting me to at least participate in the team for now (we'll figure the logistics out later Kieran). I'll stop rambling now and retire to my room, due to the fact that it's 1:40 on the U.S. east coast.
whats ur MSN IM screen name? and...Welcome :D

I currently don't have one - I'll make one now.
Edit: That would be Windows Live Messenger correct? Or is MSN messenger a different entity altogether?

East Coast! Where about? I'm from RI.
Anyways, it's not too difficult trying to figure out what's going on. Basically, if there's some PS3 related news that hasn't been reported, write an article up on it, and one of our Editors here will correct it, revise it, and give you tips on how to improve your writing.
It's a great learning experience, so I hope you stay on.

I'm from Marblehead, MA - which is right next to Salem (you know the witch town). Thanks for the welcome by the way Greg.
Edit: Just created my Windows Live Acct. - It's ericc2929@hotmail.com
Greg I see you're request, hold on. As I've used MSN IM for about 3 minutes I'm still not sure how to do everything.

Welcome aboard Eric. I'm Jason - j_fentiman@hotmail.com - and I've been brought on as Editor-in-chief (although I'm still learning the ways of PSU myself!).
The guys here are really helpful so the best advice I can give is to ask questions. As to writing advice, again the existing writers are a great source of sage wisdom, but here's a link to some general tips I put together recently - http://staff.psu.com/viewtopic.php?t=1688
If you want to ask me anything MSN me, email me or post a message here, but bear in mind I'm UK-based so usually I'll be tucked up in bed while you're writing.
All the best,
Jase :D
