The game is running at native 720p for the both systems with the 360 version incorporating the use of 4x MSAA, the highest form of anti-aliasing the system is capable of. The PS3 version on the other hand, uses Quincunx AA - a technique known for producing the same kind of edge smoothing as 4x MSAA, but at the expense of blurring the entire texture.
John GodGames Emus has released some new videos, showing Haze, Afro Samurai, Armored Core V and Clash of the Titans running in 4K on the PC thanks to the Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
Whatever happened to Afro Samurai 2? After they took it off the digital store I thought they’d come back with an improved product
The framerate and rending were more of the concern over resolution for me, and I can see they are making solid strides. Haze runs pretty well and doesn't seem to have many graphical or audio glitches (one cannot say the same for Ghost Recon lol). Given Sony hasn't provided any real backwards compatibility options, this is something I might consider. I still have my PS3 hooked up if I have a hankering for some last gen goodness, but I also wouldn't mind playing those games with either increased resolution or frame rate, whenever the emulator gets to that point :-)
Banner Saga publisher Versus Evil are going to be releasing an Afro Samurai game, they announced this morning. The game is being developed by Redacted Studios for PC and next-gen consoles.
This is something unexpected! I loved the show and the first game was decent. I hope RZA does the music again for this game like he did the last one.
First one was cool
INtroduced the free cutting mechanic used in games like Metal Gear Rising
Love anything Afro Samurai. Wish they would make another film with soundtrack by RZA again.
Hope they've got RZA and Samuel L. Jackson (or at least a damn good impersonator). Just wouldn't be Afro without those guys behind it
Samurai games are fun to play because players are able to play as one of not only history's greatest warriors.
I appreciate the comments, negative and positive. Since its an opinion piece, everyone's opinions are different and not everyone is going to agree. Kessen was also a good game too. The list could go to Top 6, Top 10, Top 20, Top 50 and so on. There are many samurai games to decide from and could be difficult to choose for the top 5.
Please add your own Top 5 Samurai Games to the comments.
Almost looks the same other than the lighter PS3 version with much of the detail missing(lines in this style art is lacking on the PS3 version)
That's because it's lighter in this screenshot.
Put it on the tv, they are exactly the same. or close enough.
Anyone who has a ps3/360 knows this.
As for x4aa, vs Quincunx AA
They are actually very close.
PS3 Quincunx AA is a faster approach. Takes less of a hit.
360 X4AA is slighty cleaner, but needs more power.
As for depth of field, that would depend on how you go about including it.
There are a few ways.
Why the hell are we talking about a demo when the full game has been out for weeks?
360 IS THE BEST ALSO STREET FIGHTER SUCKS
Such noble words from the 360 Pimp... May we stand in awe at your utter stupidity! ----> Head left for the troll zone!
