i don't know what it is..but for some reason i just can't get excited about this game, even though when i saw the very first footage of it i could hardly wait for it to hit. I think some of that has to do with how capcom have sold out in their vision of the game due to being under fire from stupid people that were quick to play the race card before they learnt that the second playable character was African herself...so now we have an Africa setting where black africans seem to be the minority as capcom litter the game with indians, asian, and caucasians.
But i think also its because it just doesnt seem to be the survival horror resident evil once was, not just in opting for a more action stance, but also the atmospheric tones of the setting itself... there was always a danger placing a game in the sunlit deserts of Africa to deliver the same atmospheric scares as dark dampend corridoors.
I dunno.. i think it'll definatly be a good game, but i think if you want jump out scares then i don't think this will be the game to offer them... should probably point your eyes to Dead space for that.
I see that they suddenly included white and arab zombies. How multi culturally politically correct. I wonder if they would have changed the game when white or hispanic people would have made outraged outcries about racism in the previous games. ¬_¬
This has nothing to do with RE for me anymore... anyway, it could be a fun to play 3d person shooter, not to forget Coop. Anyway i want a classic Resident Evil again... it's somehow really sad...

some of those textures are pretty bad if you ask me.
I will never understan why so many ppl base graphics on texture quality and stuff. If a game looks good it looks good, its not more difficult than so.
I mean, many Unreal Engine 3 games have good textures, but at the other hand the shadows are often horrible (all games based on that engine have problems with shadows) and somehow all characters look weird with their skin and hair. But the shadows is what annoy me most.
Look at Killzone 2. It will probably not have the best textures ever, no, but as long as the ground and walls look sharp, and they have that awesome dynamic feel to the look -- with terrific lighting, good AA, great amount of detail, silk smooth animation and impressive particle effects -- who fucking cares about the textures? I mean, Gears of War is a technically nice looking game, but at the same time not. When you're zooming into something you can see the shadows kind of build a "filter" on Marcus skin, wich just look horrible. And alot of objects look horrible compare to the best parts. And overall the game have a almost unrealistic sharpness to it look, especially if you compare to games like Killzone 2 wich looks so smooth and natural :)
Resident Evil 5 kind of have same colour scale as Gears, but here the characters looks natural and really great in terms of detail and sharpness. And theres no odd shadows that ruins the illusion =)
Well I just wish ppl could base graphics on what you actually see and not specs =) Thanks for me and sorry for my horrible english...
The problem of the textures is not the detail, but the placement. This is visible in the last few pictures with the brown rocks. You can see the texture is streched in all kinds of different ways on each poly.
I do agree that high res textures are not everything though..
Hehe yeah, I'm not saying you're wrong about those pics. :)
Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one in the whole world you've noticed the horrible shadows in Unreal Engine 3-based games tho :( And I just can't understand why, because I'm not that into graphics... I more care about the graphical design... so then its wierd that I'm annoyed by the shadows in all UE3 games - but I dont think I've seen someone else complain (ppl who otherwise have alot of complaints on games visuals). Theres no problems with those things in, lets say, Uncharted. And if Epic are those "graphic gods" why the heck havent they fixed the shadows yet:S?

I hate the UE3 shadows too, but Epic themselves seem to have fixed that with Gears 2. I havent noticed any of those terrible shadows
Thank god, I've found someone who also hate them. Xion4360 = my best friend :D
Yeah, lets hope they have fixed it for Gears 2. Although I think I saw a little wierd shadow in the cutscenes in a video diary, but hopefully they have decreased the problem atleast:)
Its really weird that no reviewers or something have written anything about these shadows, when so many developers choose to use that engine. I think thats a pretty big problem tbh
i cant understand why are you complaining about shadows in the games who the fuck cares about shadows ?? i dont care... when i play some games on PC I always turn shadows tothe lowest quality... you dont see the difference in the gameplay... so i would pick better textures then fucking smooth shadows... shadow my ass

Can't wait to play online co-op :)

I'd agree that this, Killzone 2, and Gears 2 currently look to have the best console graphics.

I really hope they've worked on the clipping issues though, the E3 footage was really let down by it
