Project Ego and B.C. are both looking fantastic. It will be really interesting to see a demo of B.C. soon.

Could someone start showing real-time GAMEPLAY instead of real-time cut scenes? No ofense but in this day they can manipulate cut-scenes so they enhance everything much beyond the way it is while you play. If you want an example look at StarFox Adventures. It's all real-time cut scenes but the detail jumps up when you get in a cut-scene and then is back to normal. That's because you can use more power for these enhancment since there is not much of the engine used "fixed camera angels", no AI, no physics, lighting manipulated manually instead of by the game engine, etc.

Uh, mush of what was posted in the Halo screens WAS Real time gameplay, I'm not sure about the rest though. I've seen some realtime Fable screens and they looks just as good as many that may appear to be cut scenes. Hell, I don't think Fable really has any cut scenes in it.

did you know that maybe they're hard to FIND?

I'm only showing the latest screenshots released for each game...so don't get your panties in a bunch, mircea...

If you played Halo then you would know that the graphics engine used during each of the cut scenes was the exact same one that they used IN GAME. Now could they have tweaked the crap out of it? Sure, but I doubt there will be any major differences.

Love your Perfect Dark icon Stu.

Strangler how can you say that Halo is mostly gameplay if it's a FPS, and you see the character in all of the screen shots??

Professor S · 09-26-2002, 10:59 AM

Did you play the first game at all? If you played multi-player you would know that you would be able to see Master Chief. Also, in my last post I pointed out that the cut scenes in Halo used the same graphics engine as the real time game performance, so the graphics probably won't change much from the cut scenes to the in game action. Please read my last post again. Thank you.

you see the character in Fable, and BC, as well as that Black and White game...

so those are accurate to what you'll see in gameplay, I assume

and with Halo, during gameplay, you'll see those environments looking that good. and the gun textures, etc.

and Strangler is right about multiplayer...you do see the characters

wut the hell is Fable about anyway? i heard many things about it (MMORPG, something to do with egos...blah blah blah) but i'm still not sure wut the game is about. is it an rpg? is it real time fighting? i need answers

Professor S · 09-26-2002, 04:15 PM

Fable is faar too complicated to describe here. IGN has an EXCELLENT preview of the game. I suggest you go there and take a look.

It's not massively multiplayer online stuffs... I don't think it's online at all

But it's like an action/adventure/RPG type of thing, only there's sooooo much more to it than that... like Strangler said, go read IGN's preview
