looks like it was drawn with MS paint..

@ sparco...

Ever notice the render filters put on those images? thats one clue that it may be a render... im not saying it isnt, but you dont see games with Cinematic Blur. I think those are renders of the games and how the may look like in the future...

...Sparco, can you give proof that those are nex-gen pictures? According the official site, got from the bottom of the picture, the game will also come out for PC.
Again, I really doubt those are Xbox 360/PS3 pictures. They're either renders or PC pictures. The resolution is way too high for it to be a console picture.
You know, up to now, NO next-gen in-game pictures were ever released. All those *sneak peek* pictures including the Project Gotham Racing 3 picture are renders. The high resolution is enough proof for me.

that's it 2furio keep it up, you're doing a great job.

anyway, about them pics, i personally think they are rendered pics, not just becuase its high res, but also the producers/developers of the game havn't actually said that they are screenshots of a game....... it's just a bit of nicly rendered concept 3d model...

But does it say if they are console in-game shots? They could be PC shots.

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 06 May 2005, 23:14

At that resolution? PC for sure.

EDIT: On second thought, it is HDTV res, so perhaps..

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 06 May 2005, 23:23

Could AoE3 be considered a next-gen???

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 06 May 2005, 23:28

That's PC 100%.
The high res shots are way beyond any console could render. It's 1600x1200. That's huge. HDTV or not, resolutions that high can only be achieved by high-end PCs.
Ha, I was right. Just after I typed this, I checked http://www.gamespot.com and Age of Empire III is a PC-only game.

@above comment

Of course AOE is PC only, just like all these other great games comming... btw, i wouldnt consider it Nexgen.. Nexgen is basically a game that has gfx of like Shrek 2 or Final Fantasy.. movies like that... personally i dont like gfx like that because they make me dizzy.. Examples of Dizzying games were Doom3 and Deus Ex 2.. They attempted to make a Nexgen game but just came to a mix match of too much bump mapping and lighting...

Xbox 2 Preview

Heres my Response...

Fileplanet wrote: CPU - Xenon's CPU has three 3.0 GHz PowerPC cores. Each core is capable of two instructions per cycle and has an L1 cache with 32 KB for data and 32 KB for instructions. The three cores share 1 MB of L2 cache. Alpha 2 developer kits currently have two cores instead of three.

Oki, Here we go. Let me take you on a tour...
First off, 3 Ghz is about what you'ld get out of a dated AMD or one of the hot Pentiums. This is nothing special. Yes it may be able to do more than an original AMD, but at this level, it will be like a multi-tasking caveman. He'll be able to do more stuff at once(i.e. large scenes, heavily populated areas, density) but will still lack the comprehension to do it with quality... Can you say "This will be outdated by PC next year?"

Fileplanet wrote: GPU - Xenon's GPU is a generation beyond the ATI X800. Its clock speed is 500 MHz and it supports Shader 3.0. Developers are currently working with an alpha 2 GPU. Beta GPU units are expected by May and the final GPU is slated for a summer release. The final GPU will be more powerful than anything on the market today; in game terms, it would handle a game like Half-Life 2 with ease.

Oki... A Shader 3.0 system is the only thing im liking right now, but ofcourse, we'll have this too on PC. Other than that... umm, nothing.
A generation beyond ATI x800 is a little cocky to say the least. About 5 years ago most of us didnt even know the glories of bumpmapping, 2 yrs later, look where we are... 2006.. ehh, youll see for yourself...(ever notice PC is always the one with the new technology, while Consoles just have the new hardware?)
Now, I laugh at this all the time, "Final GPU will be more powerful than anything on the market today"... Well.. Today, Nothing is really that great... Right now ATI and Nvidia are working on there Nexgen cards... I'm betting they'll be released right after these Consoles, and PCs once again will be the reigning system as it is today...
Next , "it would handle a game like Half-Life 2 with ease. " umm, seeing that as i have a card 4 yrs old and a average CPU and im still running HL2 perfectly, this makes me suspicious as to why this comment makes Xbox 2 even worth my time.

Everything in bold sounds like a excuse... a "Just Because" reason...

Can you also say that if that information is real that it will cost more than $1000?

korge,you are forgetting something.

The current consoles are 5 years old and are churning out excellent looking games.They have 5 year old hardware.The next X-box will be approx.12-15 times more powerfull that the current one.And the current one is still keeping up with the PC(mind the low resolutions,it's the TV's fault not the consoles.)It will be such a huge leap,it's unreal.I can only think of a few games on PC that look better than Halo 2,Ninja Gaiden,PGR 2 etc.

Sure the PC will catch up but it will take a while.Mark May 17th in your agenda.It will be the day the new consoles will be unveiled and their capabillities demonstrated.It's going to be revolutionary.

Once again, You must be out of your mind. 800 by 600, garbage textures, and too much exagerated lighting is not "excellent looking"

The jump from the AGP to PCI with ATI was about a 4-5 times difference in power...and this was about a year ago...

The Jump from an Xbox to X800 Video card is about 8 times...

And How is the Current Xbox keeping up with PCs? Place any game on the market to date for pc on the Xbox and it would fry... Over clocking the little thing would kill it and even trying to play a game would have you sitting for hours on the load screen

And the low resolution may be because of TVs, but its still a fact that that resolution is all that the xbox can handle...

Oh man, I can hardly wait until the next generation consoles come out (late 2005/early 2006) and then say to you "Told you so" when I compare PC games with Console Games. The new generation of PC gaming is coming and you can clearly see this in upcoming PC games, NFS MW, Unreal Tournament "Envy", 2 Days to Vegas, Age of Empires III, Half-Life 2: Aftermath, etc.

i am a big PC fan, and i play most of my games on the PC, but sometime its could to play a few games on the consoles, like football (soccer) racing, etc, with your mates and having a good banter with your pals. But that's the only reason i own a ps2, to play with my mates in the same room, rather and online

There you have it... This is the words i was trying to think of...

Not everyone has 3 or 4 pcs in the same house.. i do tho, all hooked uo on LAN.. I use to have more but my dad sold them... See, there is a good reason for old Parts... They make Great PC Hand-me-downs...

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 07 May 2005, 01:59

having said that, i do have LAN parties at my house, were my mates bring their PCs, and we hook em up and play UT2004 and Quake 3 (can't wait for quake 4)..... but that is a bit of a hassle....

The reason i won't give up is because i belive i am speaking the truth.Or maybe i should stop and wait for E3.That should shut everybody up.

Are you kidding? Did you even see the line up at this years E3? Its like a truck load of PC games that are continueing to set the standard... If Microsoft is going to Preview the xbox at this years e3(which i doubt) then what games will they show? None, because they have not completed the task of created a full game for it... In other words, they have nothing to show but Rendered Possibilities...
