First PS3 Screenshots Leaked: Untold Legends 3 (uh oh..)
 

Apparently Sony is going to officially announce this on Wednesday at a PS3 blowout.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come from PS3 this Wednesday because.. this is crap.

What the hell is this, 1999?

Oh no the first {supposed} screenshots from a console did not immediately cause orgasmic goodness in my mind and pants! This is a problem!

They're real. Sony forced websites that posted them as news to take them down, saying "all will be revealed on the 15th".

And I hate to tell you, but given what Sony has PROMISED, people damn well better expect orgasmic goodenss.

You're damn right. I'm serious.

Couldn't they at least have put more than one enemy in the room at a time? When you're competing against XBox360, already on the market with games like Fight Night 3 and Oblivion, there's no way piss-poor graphics from SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT (no less) can excite gamers.

The graphics look smooth... Well, they look better than anything any current console can put out.

But in the same sense they have the refinement of super-low-budget-Sci-Fi Channel-original-movie CG :(

What about those Metal Gear Solid 4 shots? Those weren't real-time? Same with Devil May Cry 4?

Err... MGS4 is all real time, and there were evidence showing that.

Judging by the first and last shot, you have a sidekick.. that's a table. He'll follow you everywhere, and apparently he can lose his shadow. Unfinished code or secret power? Mystery. Perhaps he'll be able to carry around some food, on plates. And you can eat the food, with the power of PlayStation 3.

Im sitting here, hoping and praying that it is still in VERY VERY VERY early development.

This game is being made by the same team that did the Everquest Online Adventure game for the PS2. Their graphical team is horrible and it's pretty obvious these people just need to stop making games.

I wish people would stop looking at the hardware side of things and realize a huge part of the graphical quality of a game still depends on the talent behind the people making the game.

Yes. These screenshots SHOULD cause me to cream my boxers and walk funny.

Thanks, I thought that 8-bit sprites were magically transformed into photorealistic 3D models using the power of the PS3, but now my life has changed and I'm going to become a Benedictine monk.

aka obvs.

This pretty much sums it up. I'd rather not fetch a screenshot of their PS2 work, lest I get seizures from graphics that barely surpass those of Mort the Chicken, but these guys really don't put an effort into their games. Notice how the little realtime footage we saw at E3 and TGS last year (Warhawk, HS, MGS4, I-8) surpasses this shit by leaps and bounds.

And that's on alpha kits.

Eww, that's ugly.

But with all next generation gear, still screenshots are difficult to judge. It probably appears better than it seems. The screenshots for Amped 3 were really plain, and looked like SSX Tricky, but it feels different when you're playing it.

Can't expect every PS3 title to be utterly breath taking, you know.

The fuck? Those better be some college students half life 2 mod project screenshot, cause it looks like shit to be for the PS3.

MGS4 wasn't gameplay. It was, what they claimed, to be a teaser using the PS3 engine.

And DMC4 was CGI.

that what I'm believe.there only one game show on E3 is from real-time gameplay is fight night 3

Those shots are crap... But at least we get more info on the PS3.

MGS4 was realtime, that was a main point of the trailer was to poke fun at the people who were going to inevitably say it was CG. Shit, they even manipulated every little aspect via the code in front of everyone after the demo.

I-8 was a teaser and that was realtime and it looks better than this. Same goes for Heavenly Sword. Point is, these guys are turning out crap since even barebones Warhawk had more going on (water, physics, actual gameplay, enemies, etc) and still it was far more refined.

And so was RE5. They've already said that beside a few effects present within the teasers that they're both the minimum of what they want to achieve. Looking at GRAW and FN3, I definitely believe them.

This is Fighting Force 3, right.

Well... they are better than ps2 graphics, though...

I can see some things in those shots, such as the texture/lighting on the floor, that look advanced. It just looks like they chose a poor example of what to showcase. Of course, since they are leaked...

DAMAGE CONTROL!

And he was dubbed, Alexander Cratesworth, cousin to Wallace Guyford.

Why do you honor that series by talking about it? BTW, these shots were originally 1080p according to the site that leaked them, that'd explain the smooth (but ridiculously plain models and environments).

1.MGS4 would look much better in gameplay, Hideo said in his interview/Blog.

2.Kobayashi had confirmed in interview with Famitsu that what was shown in DMC4 trailer is least you should expect from PS3 graphics,the ingame graphics of DMC4 would be much better.

If you want to take my word,wait for 2 months E3 is almost here and PS3 will blow.
I mean time check these realtime graphics of Darkness on PS3

All the hype for PS3 with the pre-rendered videos and whatnot is leaving people with unrealistic expectations. Those shots really aren't that bad. They have nice textures for the environments and some decent lighting going on. The models are obviously cartoony, but that's the developer's choice.

People really need to stop expecting a huge jump in graphics from next gen consoles. They're going to look better, obviously, but try to have realistic expectations.

Not every PS3 game will have exceptional graphics. Just look at the PS2, how many games from 2000 honestly look nearly as good as PS2 games look now? It took until 2001 before PS2 devlopers could make decent graphics on the system.

Maybe the game simply sucks, I wouldn't blame the PS3 so hastily.

Ah yes, because poor quality magazine scans reprsent the pinnacle of the PS3s graphical prowess.

Oh yeah i read David jaffe's interview/blog,he was asked if he wants to develop for Revolution.
He said ,he love to and liked the idea of controller but he added that PS3 is awesome,he was fascinated by the power of PS3 which he saw in production houses of other companies.
He said,after seeing PS3 he would prefer PS3 over Revolution.(there was more but his words gave the idea that he was very impressed,its seldom that developers like him,get fascinated by graphics).

If its true than it means we are in for treat as far as PS3 graphics are concerned.
But he might have made this comment 'cause he is Sony dog.

PS3 Darkness

"The engine we used on Riddick wasn't really suited for the current generation of Hardware. This is OUR next generation - our second title with that sort of technology, which gives us a big advantage. With The Darkness we started with tools that were already developed for the core part of the technology".

"And as with every next-generation title, content production is key. It takes longer to create each individual part of the contents since it's so much more detailed." He zooms in close on a man with a 5 o'clock shadow, and we can actually see his pores and the hairs sprouting out of the follicles.

Jens Andersson (lead designer of The Darkness) on the PS3:

"It's complex hardware. If you want to take advantage of it, you've got to rethink how a lot of stuff works. But for every revision Sony sends, the tools and technology and more mature. And when we develop technology internally here at Starbreeze, we tie it really closely to game design. That's the advantage of an in-house engine..."

UTL: Dark Kingdom:

The plot is not contiguous with previous games. Same setting but allowing themselves to skip around within the overall timeline of UL lore. More immersive story line than typically associated with action RPGs.

3 playable characters (maybe more). Brute, Mage and Knight.

More details b/c of multiple cell processors: When you smash skeletons, you'll see bones ricochet individually off stone walls, etc.

"The PS3 is the first time we've had to make a programming and art mind shift."

..."enemies that sport flesh over their frames will slump realistically thanks to rag-doll physics. And some of that Cell might be used to power fancy-shmancy effects, such as white-hot lightning or glistening great balls of fire, which you'll be able to hurl with the greatest of ease."

also

"In this case, we wanted to take that hack-n-slash gameplay and turn it up. It's more than just hitting the X button. Now there are combos and more visual flair and variety."

Starbreeze regarding online:

Andersson says that the game will definitely have an online component, but until they know more about the network structure, they can't say for sure what it will include. "We still don't know much about Sony's online plans," he says. "I think they have big hopes, and we know there's something coming, but we don't know to what extent that will be. We'll need to rethink the size of online whenever we get that info."

The Darkness is a fps?! how stupid. they should've made it 3rd person. When i heard they were making a game based on the comic series I was hyped, but now I probably won't even play it.

Although you're right, that's not what Sony is saying. They've been coming just short of claiming the PS3 will give you a blowjob while you're playing, the graphics will be that good. They're hyping their system way beyond all realistic bounds and it's biting them in the ass - rightfully so.

Also, since when is Untold Legends 3 a game anybody gives a rat's ass about? I could have told you it would look like crap no matter what system it's on, without ever having to look at a screenshot. In-game screenshots of a game that is actually worth caring about, that's something to comment on.

I think those screenshots are for PSP. The Untold Legends series is strictly on PSP. It's the Champions of Norrath series that goes on the consoles.

Wrong.

1. Those shots are too high resolution to be on PSP.
2. It's been announced that Untold Legends 3 will be on PSP and PS3.

That's Microsoft, not Sony. I havn't heared Sony say much about the PS3. After hearing all the hype about the xbox 2 I realy thought it was going to be good. When I started playing xbox 2, I was disapointed with the graphics and the breakthrough into the new HD era shit.

Well then you would have to be retard to say such a thing. How could you be disappointed on what they have done on all the first generation 360 titles. You cannot tell me that Kameo, PGR3, Fight Night, Condemned, PDZ, GRAW, and even oblviion are not next gen games. One can be playing any of these(except Oblvion now) without HD and be utterly amazed.

Also, The Darkness looks cool and all since its by Starbreeze who made Riddick and that game fucking owned. It is also multiplatform.

And where is that scan? It is not linked up here anymore.

Ghost Recon AW does look VERY well done and seems to play well from what I've seen in the demo trailers, even making me somewhat jealous of not having the $$$ for this platform. This is what I'm saying in my mind right now:

I know for sure I'm not picking up a PS3 anywhere near after the launch date, since it's big coin that I'm investing. Most realistically, it will be about a good year/year and a half or so after, much like how I waited for the PS2 to drop. I highly doubt I even have time to try out any of the new stuff, since I want to clean up my backlog of PS1/2 RPGs first (especially FFXII).

If I read that the PS3 doesn't deliver, then I might consider a XB360. I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking along these lines right? >_>

I don't see any Untold Legends screenshots. Is my face broken?

Only game I was impressed with was PGR3. I didn't say I find the games to have the same gfx as xbox 1 games, but I just didn't see the quality in the games the way it was hyped.

I think people are just expecting the same massive leap we've come to expect from consoles. Super NES to Nintendo 64, Saturn to Dreamcast, PlayStation to PlayStation 2. This next round of consoles just can't match that kind of obvious visual update.

Indeed, I think the whole KILL ZONE 2 clip back last summer reved up a lot of "hype engines" that this would BE THE NEW ERA OF GAMING. Hell, even I was like, ZOMG I WOULD KILL a blade of grass TO GET THIS PS3 in my hands NOW! Those days have passed. Now I'm not so sure - basically I have my doubts, perhaps like a few others.

MOAR SAUCE PLZ.

You reek of fanboyism. I still cannot find a reason why I should purchase a 360(and the price is bigger than the power supply) and many people feel that way.

Besides, who wants to fork out that much money for DOA4 and a HDTV when you can basically use a VGA adaptor with the 360 and get the same quality? Or buy a Dreamcast and DOA2, and have the exact same quality yet again.

These pictures aren't impressive here, but that doesn't matter really. You can't have good games on a next generation console without bad ones, so.

Funny, how it seems like you are responding to someone else.

BZ, don't bring your x-box crap in here. I don't feel like reading through more people just flinging console shit at each other with absolutely no point.

In truth, there's no point in buying any console immediately after launch. It's best to at least wait for some 1st gen games that were made with finalized console specs. Even the SNES launched with a whopping total of four games, most of which were glorified tech demos (I wasn't that impressed with F-Zero, so sue me).

I think an exception could be made for the PSP (even though it's not a console).

Some of its best games were launch titles.

Lumines is equal to more than one game?

I remeber playing Starfox for the first time and I was like, "ZOMG THE BOSS IS SOOO HARD!" until I realized that you had to shoot the flashing weak points on the boss. As a seven year old then, yeah I was pretty impressed already. I FEEL LIKE I'M ACTUALLY FLYING!

Here's how I would judge the games right now:

Best singleplayer: Ghost Recon

Best multiplayer: Tie between DoA 4 and PGR3. With only one good map, PDZ was very disappointing in this aspect. GRAW needs to fix their lobby system.

Best graphics: Fight Night. The character models are seriously awesome on the 360, and it makes the game much better than it really is.


I agree that the main issue is the price. I personally picked up the 360 because I was going to buy one eventually anyway. Granted, the price will drop as you wait, and it will continue to drop as you wait even longer.


Mostly ignored, but Wipeout Pure is a very good game, much better than Mario Kart in my opinion. There is a good amount of downloadable content so lots of replay value, the controls are very precise, excellent graphics, and an all around fun game.

MGS4 was real-time. The only problem is that the game wasn't running any AI, any code, anything at all, except for the graphics. If the final PS3 isn't much more powerful than that devkit Kojima was using, I smell trouble.

The final version of MGS4 will look a bit better than the demo. But don't let that give you the impression that PS3 will actually be more powerful than 360.

Its OFFICIAL now PS3 coming in november.

Yeah, so basically, they're forcing you to buy it in order to play games. This reminds me of the time when I was forced to buy a modem for my PS2 if I wanted online gaming, which turned out to be dead so I didn't bother either way.

Same deal, eh?

We have to wait and see,whats catching my attention is that 4D concept,Kutagari mentioned.

And Eyetoy for PSP,enabling videophone features is super cool.

You need to have a modem to play games online? Unheard of!

This could always be more like the RAM cartridge that came out for the N64.

Maybe it'll be like the Xbox 360's HDD where you can store more maps for games or skins or something? If they're telling developers to make games assuming the HDD is present, we may see something more substantial than that though.

The hard drive will be required...if you want games to load as quickly as possible. It's as simple as that.

Hardly a reason for a game to require a drive, and it's unlikely that'll be the extent that it's used given what we've seen with the 360.

Well considering that the Gamecube already has a modem in it and the xbox is the same, I feel sort of cheated when Sony released the PS2 without one.

Wow, I wonder what these Toycube modem adaptors are for.

Why, given that the specs were finalized in late 1999 and even when the console launched, broadband wasn't exactly the big thing it is now. Needless to say, Sony got caught with it's pants down during this transition.

Man, it even looks like God of War.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes on this one. Yeah, because you happen to know for a fact that the demo shown was even making efficient 100% of the PS3 resources right? Maybe the demo was only using 2 of the 7 SPUs and adding AI and user input would not result a performance hit. Nobody really knows other than the developers and Kojima has already stated he expects the final game to look even better than the demo.

This looks graphically similiar to the PSP's Untold Legends (just a lot
smoother around the edges). Yea, it's just the team~ But still,
it's not terrible, it can be nice ^_^

The graphics are not really ugly, they are okay... I guess. I just really despise this series, so I say some legends better stay untold.

How long you been waiting to pull that one out.
