Remember those "in game" Heavenly Sword shots?

but it is photochopped because of the dimension of the picture and its been cropped and looks like it has been zoomed in some too. not a fair screenshot imo
 
if that is cartoony and stylized proportions in that upper left, then I must know some cartoony and stylized women.

Fan boy glasses are known to create the same effect as Beer Goggles I suppose.

There has been actual gameplay footage on heavenly sword out for months now. I dont think you are going to be surprising anyone here...
Also that pic you are comparing was said to have post processing done to it when it first was released...whats the surprise?

yeah, not so much.

The top right is the photo people in here were swearing was "in game". Bottom pic is what it's really going to look like.

And before you say it, no it doesn't look BAD, it's just a real shot of what the renders look like...rather than the CG/photochopped image people were swearing was real in game.

Poeple didn't swear it, the development team themselves posted and stated that the top pic on the right was ingame but blur was added to the background and the edges were soften.

The game has been proven to look as good as most of the screenshots released thanks to it being playable already for over a year.

Oh btw that top left one is a VERY OLD shot... atleast from 2005.

Change the lighting conditions and it almost looks as good as the "touched up" version.

Not even close. Look at the "touched up" screen... Particularly her freckles, eyes, and lips. Look at the lighting and the way even the lips have texture in them.. While the untouched screenie has some detail, it pales in comparison to the touched up version.

There was extensive work done to that photo, I don't care what the dev says. Not that the game will suck or have bad graphics, but when there's one pic that even the dev says "had minor work done to it" and that picture looks 10x better than anything else released for the game, you know that something is fishy.
 
Okay.
And?

Remember those "Next-gen" Madden pix we saw prior to the 360's release?
Errr...


Regardless, the cutscene pic is (you guessed it) from a cutscene.
It's quite possible that the cutscenes could look better than the actual gameplay, especially when it comes to minute details like facial features (freckles, etc.).
Shit, it's even possible that the cutscene is CG. I don't think Ninja Theory stated whether it's real-time or not.

Lastly, this thread screams "OMG PS3 IS TEH SUXXOR" (you gave it away with that fan boy comment). Smh.

Obviously you missed the furor on the internet tubes about the shot, and when actual new screenies show up of what it really looks like, you're right, I must be a raving fanbuoy to dare post this.

I said nothing about the PS3 sucking, you seem to be projecting your insecurities however, maybe we can talk about that.

I'm not sure why you posted this thread. The link you posted says nothing about real-time vs CG scenes, so this 'revelation' is of your own creation. The page ("Character design changes in Heavenly Sword's leading lady Nariko") shows you how the design for the main character has changed during development, but it has nothing to do with real time vs in-game graphics.

Further, we already know what Heavenly sword looks like in real time (and we've known for quite a long while). There are plenty of other screens and videos around, so why you focused on this one shot of a cutscene is unclear. They aren't hiding anything, you can check out the (pretty awesome) real-time videos/pics anywhere.

Third... why bring it up now? The link you posted isn't even connected to your post, and you seem to be responding to some "debate" from a while back (I don't even remember there being a controversy about this being real-time, just check Magus's link).

So.. honestly, what was your point?
 
Who really cares? :eek: They all look good to me... Graphics don't make the game... or do they? :confused:

That made me laugh:p haha.

And I think what its actually going to look like or whatever looks fine. The actual in game videos I have seen and not these stupid screen shots show an amazing looking game. Done and Done
 
Whats funny is that the bottom picture isnt from 2007. It's from a october 2006 build of the game.
