Indeed. Konami needs to build across ALL platforms, not just port their shit.COCKLES said:

Blah blah, who cares? At least SH4 won't look like it is running at 320x200 half the time...
No, they do not. They should stick to ONE platform PER game. Multiplatform == reduced quality in most situations.
I just hope the XBOX version isn't downgraded like SH2 XB was. I'd prefer buying it on XBOX in order to get 480p (I hope), but SH2 wasn't really a very good port (though most people didn't notice).

Man, i havent played much silent hill since the 2nd, but they just completely own every other game when it comes to being downright weird(in the creepy sense).
I normally don't go for the scary games, but this looks so damned tripped out i may not be able to resist.

I guess after playing these types of games for a while, a giant head just staring at you can be considered nothing.

Ha, that's true. These shots look rather poor in comparison. Then again, that trailer shown at E3 was fantastic looking and left a much greater impression on me than the RE4 trailer did. Oh well, it looks pretty solid in motion and the game itself is of much greater interest to me than Resident Evil could ever be.

Made even funnier by the new set of screens for RE4...Although probably not for the reason you're thinking of.

I'm not going to go into long comparisons, but its not a signficiant leap over SH4 in any way. It's technically better yes, but it's not that much better.

It is a signficiant leap when you see both games in motion.SolidSnakex said:

SH3 does look better than this, but I don't think they made it too fast. Two different teams were working on the games with the main creators working on both.
Pulling away the fog is obviously a major reason why this is less detailed. I'd also say that the focus on larger environments is an issue as well. SH2 and SH3 both used a lot of very detailed scenes. I mean, walking into a closet in those games would display a whole mess of detailed objects all casting shadows. It was very cool looking. The Room simply looks a lot different.
The game itself has me incredibly excited. I am so pumped for this I can hardly wait. I don't want to compare to RE4 or anything either as they are so different and, right now, I am far too biased (ie - I want SH4 so much that I wouldn't even care if RE4 was cancelled...even though I DO actually want it in the long run).
Visually, there is no debate remaining. While I DO prefer the art direction of SH4 over RE4 (good lord, compare the trailers), RE4 technically stomps this into the ground.

And so was Twin Snakes over MGS2, right?
I've seen it in motion and it is technically better. But it's still not this technical milestone that alot of people are making it out to be.
SolidSnakex said:
No.
Twin Snakes had better IQ and some hard to spot bump-mapping, but was worse than MGS2 in most other graphical regards, including but not limited to the character modeling which was so much better in MGS2 that it honestly made Twin Snakes look much worse than it really did.

I was just referring to Li Mu Bai. Who early on said that TS was looking significantly better than MGS2 ever did because of all the stuff Dyack said was being added into the game.
dark10x said:Total opposite for me. I can't describe it, but they are so incredibly interesting to me. Playing through a new Silent Hill is almost a religious experience now.
SH4 rocked. I enjoyed the hell out of it, despite having to go through the levels twice, which is definitely going to hurt the game in some people's eyes.

What, so I'm wrong now?
I know you have a nice TV, so you HAVE to be seeing those damn frame buffer problems. The game uses that damn filter so badly that the game ends up looking ultra low-res a good 75% of the time. At 480p, the image quality is quite terrible as a result. I normally LOVE post processing filters, but this is absolutely not what I like. It just causes the pixel size to increase by quite a bit.
How the hell could you NOT notice that? Seriously...
Lyte Edge said:
Better than SH3 (which I really loved, but felt a TINY BIT letdown with)?
How about length? SH3 took me around 5 hours to finish the first time, which was WAY too short. SH2 was over twice as long. Backtracking is not an issue for me at all either.
Riddick constantly busting into low res IS rather distracting but the otherwise great visuals more than make up for it
can't remember where i read this (probably in this thread) but the best thing about riddick IMO is that it not only has good lighting/shadows but it doesn't animate like ass...THE PC CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED

That's why you're allowed to turn it off if you don't like it.
SolidSnakex said:
And why exactly was I saying that? Because I knew one of the lead programmers. Who was verifying basically what Dyack was saying. I even said of the final product that TTS had some enhanced textures & particular models, but that SOL was comprehensively a better package. (lighting, level geometry, framerate, etc.) I stated this in the official TTS impressions thread. Playing vs. seeing compressed vids, or bad screen grabs, are HUGE differences. MGS3 has them, (bad screen grabs) Halo 2, Doom III, etc. But I've seen all these in motion as well, & compressed vids or screenshots don't really do them any justice. Esp. MGS3 IMO. So your PS2 fanboy retort would now be?

SH3, I think even has some nicer tech in action compared to SH4 (self shadowing on characters, for example, seems to be missing here) Not to mention that is SH4 doesn't use those crazy procedural texturing and frame buffer effects on the scenery, it drops it even further below :\
OK, so where was that hard to spot bumpmapping? The only thing where it tricked me into thinking it has it, was a turret on Raven's gun, but that actually was not bumpmapping upon closer inspection.
