Gaming Before/After 3DS games (development comparison)

[KingVamp]

Wow, out right awesome.

Zelda's been much improved too. Lazy to include shots but anyone following OoT news should be familiar with.

This is why I hate everyone who said 3DS graphics aren't that good judging by the first screens. I'm pretty sure graphics is generally one of the latest to polish aspects of a game.

Yeah comparing leaked Duke Nukem Forever footage from an early build (which looked great but outdated, I estimate 2007-2009) vs. latest footage shown of the game (2010?), it's astonishing. Off-topic but this game will blow your mind even in graphics alone.

on the software line-up it didn't look much better than a mario64DS improvement
so i do hope it got better
mario kart still looks amazing and starfox64 still seems a bit dull, prolly cuz it was in early development though

 

[KuRensan]

wow the baseball game looks awesome now *0* at the start I thought WTF is this for Crappy 3DS game but know it looks awesome

 

[ryan90]

All of these comparison shots are really good, street fighter 4 has changed a lot, and it's nice to see battle of the giants is using bump mapping on these models, its clearly visible in the last screenshot. I think mario kart will get a lot better in graphics next time we see it.

The Sims 3 in my opinion is probably one of the ugliest games on the console at the moment, they really need to do something because the game looks a mess to me

Spoiler

Looks worse than the psp version, i really hope we can post some comparison pics of this game come january

 

[Painguy]

that pic with the dino game made me go wow. the entire game changed hahaha.

These screenshots are great! Especially the Pro Baseball Spirits screenshots, looks like an entirely different game in terms of graphics. Seems like some games rushed out screenshots just so they would be in time for E3.

I just hope a lot of other games have improved in terms of quality since E3, but that seems most likely.

That's actually exactly what happened. 3rd party developers had a deadline to build a game up enough to take some screenshots. What resulted was some rushed graphics like the ones in this thread. Funny thing is that Metal Gear Solid 3DS is also cited by Kojima as being rushed for E3. He is quoted as saying he had only about 3 months to complete the tech demo and that the final game would look far better as he wasn't using the full power of the 3DS. That makes me very interested in seeing newer shots from a more complete version of the game.

I can't wait. Hopefully the titles released alongside the 3DS weren't rushed. I'd hate to see the first batch of 3DS games being so crappy

Oh wow, I can't wait see how much Metal Gear Solid 3DS improved since E3, considering it already was pretty impressive. Who knows, it may just look very much like Metal Gear Soild on the PS3, or around that.

Anyways, I hope during January we'll get to see even more games improved in quality at all the events and such.

Oh, sorry about my previous post. I meant the PSP2, because I was assuming that the PSP2 was going to be a graphical powerhouse.


My bad!

Well we don't actually know anything about a new Sony "PSP2" or whatever you want to call it besides a bunch of rumors. The actual system is just a myth at this point until Sony makes an official statement. And keep in mind that everyone was basically full of shit about the 3DS' graphics before it was unveiled (Tegra rumors and IGN even spouted nonsense about the 3DS being as powerful as PS3 or 360). There's really no telling what kind of power the system will produce.

I'd find it surprising if Sony releases a new handheld system and it not be incredibly more powerful than the 3DS though. That is to say, if there is a PSP2 at all...

 

[Joe88]

well one would assume it could beat a system that was released 6 years ago (graphically)

 

[RNorthex]

sony will go for performance all the way, the ps3 is stronger than the xbox and the psp is stronger than the ds
but since nintendo now went more for performance because of graphics, it can't be much stronger
as much as i heard the psp"2" would have a larger screen which is also a touch screen and a second analog stick. also heard that it would be released in the 4th quarter of 2011....these are all just rumors i guess though

that's true that hideo just made a tech demo[not rly any gameplay was involved], but i thought at that time that that was what he could bring out from the 3ds and wanted to demonstrate it....if the graphics will be even better than that...well that will be lal
still, since capcom said they love the performance of the 3ds, that's purely enough for me

Speaking of PSP2, that's a really creative name

Great comment, it was definitely worth that whole post you made.

But there are some pretty significant developments, Pro Baseball Spirits and Battle of the Dinosaurs in particular. Odds are you'll see more at the 3DS event coming up.

They wont be THAT crappy. Sure some games will
But for me, LoZ oot and the new paper mario 3ds will Def. keep me busy. I love paper mario.
PAPER MARIO TTYOD FTW

 

[Juanmatron]

Kid Icarus improved so much too.

 

[ryan90]

a few games devs have already mentioned the psp2 and said that it was really powerful so there will be one but it won't be out till much later than the 3ds.
