Namco's "FRAME CITY" for Xbox360

**Damnit** · 05-13-2005

Namco's game looks suspiciously current-gen but they weren't experienced to use Xbox SDK's to begin with so its a given.

Put them on here thought it would be easier for everybody to see, they look a mix of this gen and next-gen.. sub par next-gen.

**Damnit** · 05-13-2005

Yea sorry about that, here's another shot and the logo too.

**straightballin** · 05-13-2005

Can't be next-gen. Are you sure it is? Looks like a first gen ps2 game

**mckmas8808** · 05-13-2005

Yeah I agree it sucks. I would give it a 6.0 in graphics "on the PS2"

**Smily0012** · 05-13-2005

ITs next gen graphics becuase look at the fingers, you can see them in detail but overall, the graphics suck.

Here's the funny thing though... it's using the UE3 engine... there's no reason for it to look that bad... it's UE3 for crying out loud. It has a decidedly we've pledged support, but only not to piss you off... so until we're sure, here a cruddy game to keep you happy feel. I dunno, I get weird vibes from this.

**Makaveli_786** · 05-14-2005

Man we keep getting all sorts of games from really good looking to really crap looking, its making it confusing on what to expect, on a VERY negative note some of the better looking games like Ninety Nine Nights were actually renders!

Three days till E3... not happy so far

**mckmas8808** · 05-14-2005

I don't know nowadays. I don't know what is renders and what is real.

Theres a video of this game over at Gamespot.com.. it reminds me of GTA where you can just walk all over go into buildings and theres cars peoples and guns.. although the character visuals do seem to be current gen and the phsyics suck.. the enviorments are awesome.

The environments looks great, great scale. However have you stopped to think that those animations are placeholder animations? This game could be a year away from being released still, but they wanted to give people a taste. By todays standards that game couldn't run the way it is on either console period. The draw distances and such, no way.

that said, the art is everything and it is obvious that no matter how good the engine if the developers don't exploit the engine the game will look like crap.

It looks a lot better in motion. Good to see Namco isn't giving the X360 the good stuff.

To be honest, I disagree. I'd want Namco to really exploit Unreal Engine 3.0 whether it is for Xbox360 or PS3. Agreed that I'm a pro-sony guy but still man, I'd never want my favorite developer to go down in history as creating the worst out of one the best engines out there.

I for one certainly don't want them bringing that kind of experience onto PS3. It would suck bigtime. The more experienced they are with UE3.0, Christ, can you imagine how AWESOME Tekken and Soul Calibers of future will be!!!? I hate to imagine any scenario otherwise.

**Chaotic_King** · 05-14-2005

I didn't mean that this isn't good, what I meant was, I'm glad Namco isn't giving Microsoft Soul Calibur, Tekken, Tales of..., Ridge Racer, etc. etc. etc. (Those are what I meant as 'the good stuff.')

The game itself does look interesting, just needs a lot of polish. The shooting is horrid, as well as the animation and physics.

Chaotic why dont you want Namco to bring their good games over to the 360?

**bustabusta196** · 05-14-2005

Because:

A) I don't want more reasons to buy an X360.
B) I want them to focus on the PS3.
C) I'm not too much of a fan of one of my favorite developers supporting the 360.

Sony can have competition, I wouldn't mind if Samsung or Panasonic entered the videogame console. But I don't want Microsoft to dominate the console realm, as well as the computer market.

**Damnit** · 05-14-2005

LOL , My bad chaotic. I didn't mean to get you wrong there. Cuz of me now some M$ fanboys jumped at you quoting stuff

.

Actually I was more focused on some other threads I completely overlooked your point. I too kinda am biased with Namco :P sorry about messing up with you ok, so no hard feelings. Peace
