Wow these look amazing. I especially love the R&C pics. I do see another "In game/rendered movie" crazetravaganza coming on cause of this though.

Warhawk looks like crap in those screens.

Too bad it'll be the best game out of them all.

Maybe for you it will be...

He has no concept of low-res shots taken from a darkly lit room. Of course he'll still complain when the hi-res direct feed shots come in.

Me? I could feel a single tear drop from my eye when I saw those R&C screens. Not so much because I'm a fan of the series (only played the second one, still need to beat it), but because it opens the doors for some spectacular looking locations, especially in FFXIII. November can't come soon enough.

Wow, those Ratchet and Clank screens are crazy. Is it actual game footage or a tech demo style thing?

Those Vehicle Dynamics photos are incredibly realistic. Given another coat of polish, they could easily pass for the real thing, no question.

Given that this is developer's conference, not open to the public (hence these leaked pictures) and that all of the other things shown were real-time demonstrations of various features of the console, I'd lean more towards real-time. Especially given Insomniac's record of pumping out impressive graphics (and the relative or complete lack of CG in their games).

I'm glad they went back to the bright and expansive areas of the first few games, and even more so that they used Metropolis as the scene for that little teaser.

A lot of folks want to see these things in motion since there's only so much you can get from a static object (like the car, or the new chickens demo).

I'd believe those (excellent) screens as well. It'd be very special to see R&C rendered in graphics that rival the pre-renderd videos from the PS2. It'll take time though before we see games on the PS3 like that, probably one to two years. Just like it did with the PS2.

Oh, of course. I don't doubt Insomniac's skill in making solid titles that impress visually. Each of their PS2 games has at least improved upon the last visually, and even more so via gameplay. The fact that Naughty Dog and Insomniac work very closely (now even more so with the creation of SCEWW) bodes well for projects coming from both camps.

And you're right about it taking some time until we see some truly next-gen titles, we can already see it happening with Ghost Recon and later on in the year with Gears of War.

God, R&C looks excellent. I wonder if they're going to employ some sort of fur effect on dear ol' Ratchet. (Think Monsters Inc). And with Insomniac at the helm, I'm pretty sure we'll get a great gameplay.

You know what struck me? So far, most people commenting on these shots (check out GAF) have said the same thing. It looks like it was the PS2's hardware limitations that held back these guys, because what we're seeing in those R&C screens is basically Metropolis city, unaltered, from R&C1.

Oh, and according to GDC attendees, the best part about the Resistance showing was the weapons. Sounds like a typical Ratchet feature, eh?

Edit: Ah, here's some off-screen photos @ 720p of the Ratchet & Clank teaser.

is that pre rendered stuff ? looks pretty

Doubt it. It was running with all of the other real-time demos, why would it be pre-rendered...?

Here is some interesting news...Seems more is left to be done.

http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/03/24/gdc2006_ps3_no_hdmi/

The pictures are of a poor quality which makes it harder to guage how good the graphics are, but nevertheless they do look nice. Impressive if they are real time.

HDMI output is required for BD movie playback, so it's going to output over HDMI as well. What on earth are those guys talking about? The machine was even shown at E3 2005 and CES 2006 with this feature being touted.

This was a developer's conference, not open to the public, since they wouldn't see past the early screens and see issues that they're dealing with or things that they'd want to ask colleagues about.

Wait, so these demos aren't even running on actual PS3s.

LoL.

The new stage of gaming is higher quality audio and video... :lolsign:

I don't understand all the hype about 1080p. Currently there are only a handful of TV's that can display 1080p, and they certainly aren't cheap. I've got one of the most badass tv's in the world and it can't display 1080p.

It won't be until they release those SED tvs that people will really be able to take advantage of PS3 display capabilities.

Toshiba would like to have a word with you.

What does ''the most badass TV in the world'' mean? :confused: Does it make lunch for you or what?

This is the badass TV in the world. Just wait until I look up for the 80 inch HDTV from Samsung.

Uh, that tv doesn't display 1080p... it does 1080i. My tv kicks that one's ass all over the place.

behold!

it makes lunch, waffles, orders pizza, is a scanner/fax/copier, and it even tucks you in at night.

Wow nice stuff you have MetheGelfling, I really like the gamecube :) I just saw the trailer from Metal Gear Solid 4, on the special bonus dvd from MGS3sub. And that looked super cool. In the trailer it's says no CGI, so that was all in game. PS3 is really gonnan be super cool. I will buy a PS3, MGS4 is one of the main reasons.

you wann play this game ?? mouhahah
