So uhhh, I hate to be the one to say anything like this but are we gonna actually see some gameplay sometime soon.

It's just hard for me to get excited over cgi, or ingame engine movies/cutscenes.

zypher6430d ago

but in this case its a bit easier for me to get excited about Assassins Creed (which, from what i've heard, has only been showing in-game realtime renderings every since E306). simply because Ubisoft has never let me down with their games. Splinter Cell, PoP, GRAW have ALL delivered. there are relatively few developers who ALWAYS live up to their hype. along with Insomniac, Team Ninja, Konami, and a few others, Ubisoft is DEFINATELY one of them.

Marriot VP6430d ago

dangit zypher, LIKE I DON'T KNOW THAT. I'm sure it'll be a AAA title but what they showed was either CGI or cutscene(ex. mgs4).

I can't believe you'd think it was gameplay. See this is the same as MGS4, in that it's ingame engine cutscene, NOT EXACTLY what you'll see on the TV.

zypher6430d ago

you may or may not know that this is ingame stuff: thats really beside the point. what i was trying to say is that Ubisoft has never let its gamers down. so why doubt them, especially after the games i mentioned above?

pRo loGic II6430d ago

When are they going to show some ingame movies and pics. I don't get hyped up over CGI nevermind UBI's rep, NEED TO SEE GAME IN REAL TIME ACTION.

zypher6430d ago

Bungie hasn't shown any gameplay of Halo 3. but i'm qutie sure that hasn't kept you or paul cerula from getting excited about it, has it?

Marriot VP6430d ago

HAH, actually zypher what Bungie showed was real gameplay. A spectator view of what it will look like. And here's I know.

Their first trailer at e3, they said they had the ability to zoom in and around the whole map. Now of course people were skeptical. And guess what they released next, the making of trailer. Where it showed masterchief walking from like 4 different angles at different distances. It zoomed into the vehicles and other stuff. See in cutscene you can't do that, it's like a movie but still using your engine.

THAT WAS GAMEPLAY, not cutscene. Unlike AC and MGS4.

zypher6430d ago (Edited 6430d ago )

Konami did the same thing with MGS4 last year. they paused the game, zoomed in and out on the character, manipulated the lighting etc. MGS always uses ingame assets for its cutscenes. if you've ever played any of them, you'll notice that the difference between the cut-scenes and the gameplay is indistinguishable. its no different with Halo 3, nor with Assassins Creed.

I'v never played Halo 2 EVER!!! but yes i'm going to give cheif a try this time around. Halo 3 is about half way down my must have list. The 360 has tons of games on the way in-case you haven't noticed.

Do you have a link to that. Also I liked how you just threw in AC even though they never did that.

jib6430d ago

i'm not as hyped with this game as everyone else. for all i know, it probably plays like prince of persia(im not a big fan of it). i wanna see gameplay videos as well.

silent ninja6430d ago

the only reason i might get this game is b/c its made by the team that brought prince of persia which is one of my favorite game of all time on my list.

Crysis Charges Forward - Interview

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli drops knowledge along with a new DX10 video. Check in for all the latest.

Crysis is obviously one of the biggest games on the PC radar this year. It's not hard to see why. From what's been shown of the game so far, and the DX10 video, the game looks gorgeous. From lush tropical environments to frozen wastes, soldiers in fatigues to outlandish, monolithic monstrosities, the environments and enemy designs in Crysis are strikingly realistic and instantly appealing.

In addition to its visuals, Crysis seems to be offering gameplay that combines the PC version of Far Cry with the feral powers present in the console-only Far Cry Instincts. In other words, the game looks to combine large outdoor battle arenas with brutal up-close melee abilities. Crysis' nano suit gives players the ability to toss around environmental objects like barrels, grab and fling enemies, as well as run at superhuman speeds, or bolster armor. Combining these abilities with a variety of firearms and vehicles is a tantalizing gaming prospect, something we all want to know more about.

IGN recently caught up with Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli to get some insight into the game's development and features.

The Precursors hi-res screenshots

Check out hi-res images of this massively ambitious Sci-fi-RPG-FPS.

Featuring FPS, RPG and space combat elements all weaved together to present an open and free world, where players can become entirely immersed in a genuinely deep and involving play mechanic, The Precursors puts players in the role of a young pilot, who's tasked with uncovering secrets and solving the problems that go with them as he travels the galaxy visiting planets and getting into scrapes.

The game looks massively ambitious and will undoubtedly deliver a seemingly never-ending array of creatures, characters, weapons, vehicles, cultures and worlds. Expect to be in desert planets one minute and snow-covered ice planets the next and expect to bump into all manner of alien beings. In theory The Precursors could present players with a sense of openness and infinity not felt since we all first booted up Elite on our BBCs and Spectrums and allowed ourselves to waste away hours travelling through the seemingly open universe presented therein.

This game sounds a lot like Freelancer on the PC. I loved that game. I really hope this game is like that.

...what exactly is so great about DX10 again? :/

This looks like 'WOW', with sub-Oblivion character models....not exactly impressive.

Mikey_Gee6313d ago

I see no "HOLY CRAP" factor in this AT ALL.

Current stuff on the PC looks better than this.

THWIP6313d ago

...just "HOLY SH1T, THAT LOOKS LIKE CRAP!". :p

DreDawgg066313d ago

Well you gotta admit, the backgrounds and scenery looked great. Once the character models started appearing I quickly closed the video lol.

THWIP6313d ago

I thought the backgrounds and screnery were the worst part.....PS2 textures and low polys.
