next gen = περισσοτερη μνημη και cpu/gpu power

 

αυτο μεταφραζεται με τη σειρα του σε ΙΚΑΝΟΤΗΤΑ για πιο ρεαλιστικα γραφικα, ηχο και φυσικη, καθως και πιο συνθετα μοντελα a.i.

 

ομως αυτα θελουνε και περισσοτερη δουλεια για να γινουνε..

και μπορει (πιθανοτατα) να μην ειναι καθε ενας τιτλος next gen σε ολα τα πραγματα ταυτοχρονα.

βεβαια μπορει να μην ειναι και πουθενα...

 

οταν αργοτερα θα εχουνε ολοι οι developers ολοκληρωμενα tools (και καποια εμπειρια), τοτε το 360 θα 'κλειδωσει' απο ενα επιπεδο και πανω, και τοτε η ποιοτητα θα ειναι μεγαλυτερη ταυτοχρονα σε ολους τους επιμερους τομεις.

 

πχ τεχνικα next gen καρα-μακραν ειναι το kameo

και οσοι λετε οτι το τελιωσατε σε 2-3 μερες.... χασατε. αυτο ειναι να το πας με το πασο σου και να χαζευεις λεπτομερειες απο τις οποιες ειναι γεματο..

 

οσο για το full auto.. ειναι next gen αλλα εχει καποια μικρα λαθακια που του στερουνε την τελειοτητα.

και παλι ομως, δεν μπορω να σκεφτω καποιο καλυτερο στο ειδος του...

Vision Xbox360 SDK Announced, Screenshot >

 

Triningy announced today that they have finished their Vision game engine for the Xbox360. The engine will be on showcase at this year's Game Developer's Conferece, and it looks decent (you can see it is a bit grainy). You can click on the news title for the full press info and a screen showing what the engine can do.

 

Eningen/Germany, March 7th, 2006: Trinigy GmbH, a market-leading provider of 3D Game Engines, today announced new licensees for the Vision Game Engine as well as an updated and improved version of the Vision Xbox 360 SDK. The latest version of the technology will also be showcased live at GDC 2006.

 

The features of the new Vision Xbox 360 SDK have initially been presented to the public at Microsoft's Winter Xfest '06 in London, UK. "I was truly amazed by Trinigy's new Xbox 360 version.", says Tracey Frankom, Program Manager, Game Technology Group at Microsoft. "The scenario showcased at Xfest is beautiful and technically impressive and it excellently highlights the capabilities of the Xbox 360TM."

 

Furthermore, Trinigy announced agreements with multiple new licensees of its Vision Engine. Sproing, located in Vienna/Austria, is using Vision and its unique lighting and shadowing system for an upcoming adventure game title with stunning graphics. "We're glad that Sproing joined the steadily growing circle of Vision licensees", says Dag Frommhold, Managing Partner at Trinigy. "The fact that the Vision Game Engine already powers more than 40 game projects clearly shows that Trinigy has set the focus right – besides providing a cutting-edge game engine, we have always set a high value on being a true technology partner for all of our customers." Further new licensees include Kangtu LLC, a Chinese developer of massively multiplayer online games, and the German company Crenetic GmbH, with which Trinigy has signed a multi-license contract.

 

On this foundation, Trinigy plans to further increase its market share in Europe, Asia and the US. The firm will have a meeting booth (#4408) at this year's GDC, taking place at San Jose, CA from March 20-24th. Developers and publishers interested in the Vision engine are welcome to arrange a meeting at GDC and should send an email to [email protected].

Ghost Recon AW IGN Review

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/694/694274p1.html

 

Closing Comments

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is a next-generation game in the fullest sense, whether it's the loaded package of impressive graphics and special effects, the top-notch sound, or the tactically enhanced gameplay . Red Storm's four-plus months of extra time have served the game incredibly well and you can see the difference in the screenshots and you will feel it in the gameplay. It's still Ghost Recon, which is to say it's still a rather acquired taste in first/third-person shooters, but as the series goes, this one is easily the best one yet. You'll be impressed with the stunning single-player game, and when you're done, you'll finally get to play long sessions on Xbox Live with an online game that's fully equipped to deliver a next-gen package. My advice, get this game, or get thee to a nunnery!

 

Presentation 9.0

The continuity and seamlessness of the missions creates an intensity and realism few gamers have seen before on consoles. Extremely well done.

 

Graphics 9.0

Top-notch everything -- character models, interactive environments, special effects and lighting. One of the few really impressive Xbox 360 games on the market.

 

Sound 8.5

Lots of audio talk, chattering Mexican AI, and then there's the sonic boom sniper rifle, oh my...

 

Gameplay 9.0

The rocking single-player campaign is out-done by the deep, customizable online game. Great controls, level design, and vehicle support -- all integrated to create cohesive gameplay.

 

Lasting Appeal 9.5

This is the first real online game to party over -- the co-op, offline or on, is worth the price of admission alone.

 

 

OVERALL 9.2 Outstanding

(out of 10 / not an average)

 

 

Must-buy οπως ηταν αναμενομενο....

Το OXM αυτού του μήνα είχε ένα αφιέρωμα στο Brothers In Arms 3 και μιλούσαν

για ένα βίντεο το οποίο τους είχαν δείξει και απεικόνιζε μία σκηνή του παιχνιδιού.

Σύμφωνα με τους Developers το Video ήταν από το gameplay του παιχνιδιού

με αλλαγμένη την θέση της κάμερας.

Οι συντάκτες του άρθρου έλεγαν ότι ήταν το πιο εντυπωσιακό κλιπάκι που έχουν

δει μέχρι τώρα και ότι τους εντυπωσίασε περισσότερο και από τα MGS και GOW.

Τελικά σήμερα κυκλοφόρησε το πρώτο screenshot σε μεγάλο μέγεθος το οποίο

όντως είναι πολύ εντυπωσιακό.

Ghost Recon AW TeamXBOX Review

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1132/Tom-Clancys-Ghost-Recon-Advanced-Warfighter/p1/

 

If you still havenʼt gotten an Xbox 360, either because you are still on the sidelines or havenʼt been able to find one, you really should do whatever it takes to get one because Tom Clancyʼs Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is a must have for even the casual shooter fan. Hell, even if you arenʼt a shooter fan, you shouldnʼt be able to call yourself a gamer if you donʼt treat yourself to the experience Ubisoft has delivered. Anyone in search of a killer app as far as online multiplayer goes on the Xbox 360 can call off their search and jump in on the intense action in both standard multiplayer modes, as well as some exciting co-op modes that support up to 16 players in some of the best modern combat scenarios youʼll have ever taken part in. Ubisoft is not only kicking the door in with Advanced Warfighter, they are taking the whole damn building down along with it! Despite a few questionable decisions, such as the lack of any Southpaw support, or the ability to lean in multiplayer, the game is everything weʼve come to expect since it was first shown a year ago. The extra time and effort spent polishing it up after it was held back from being a launch title have definitely paid off. The single-player campaign is beefy enough to last 12-15 hours while the multiplayer replay factor is off the charts. Go out and get a copy pronto!

 

GAMEPLAY 9.7

Ubisoft has really stepped things up a notch or two for the franchise by making the gameplay much tighter and more consistent than before. The controls are easy enough to understand while allowing for some complex tactical strategies to take place. Whereʼs the lefty support?

 

GRAPHICS 9.2

Very pleasing visuals that are a great indication of what the Xbox 360 is capable of as well as the untapped potential still to come.

 

AUDIO 9.0

The soundtrack is great and when you factor in some solid voice acting that allows for intense in game chatter and the ambient sound effects you are in a world of its own. The 5.1 support is fantastic and the spatial separation really helps enhance the realism of the gameplay.

 

LONGEVITY 9.6

A great single-player campaign that will taken more than enough time to complete coupled with a multiplayer onslaught will give GRAW plenty of playability on any gamersʼ console.

 

NEXT-GEN 9.2

GRAW is probably one of the top level games available for the Xbox 360 that showcases its potential and itʼs about time! The 16 player co-op is easily one of the most exciting features of the multiplayer arena.

 

OVERALL 9.3

Overall Score NOT an average

εμενα η γνωμη μου ειναι πως ακομα και η πρωτη γενια ηταν αρκουντος εντυπωσιακη (για πρωτη φουρνια) στα γραφικα.
