New graphics king confirmed, and it's on the iPhone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYvTJnWrH2Q

Crysis is no longer graphics king, as the graphics for this game are almost on par with real life.

What do you guys think?

the bump mapping is a bit overdone. and not enough AA.

good try though

From what I see you're just looking through a camera on a robot that is controlled by the iPhone. Sorry, not a graphics king.

Looks promising. Definitely better than that game Unreal engine tech demo.

EDIT: oh you're talking about the Camera.....-_-

Someone calling something a videogame doesn't make it a videogame. If I called my plank of wood a horse would it be a horse?

I don't know what you're trying to go after with that metaphor. How is this not a video game? You look through a video screen with a HUD display that lets you control camera through space. That's exactly what the conventional video game does, only it is in a digital space rather than our space.

Sorry, I don't think so. :P It looks more like a cool app.

I wouldn't mind playing with that AR drone with camera though, looks fun, since it's a real life drone that takes pics and sends them to the iPhone or other device.

iPhonies (Phonies / Appleheads) will have fun with this though, taking pictures with an AR Drone.

I actually agree. In fact, I think it looks better than real life. Move over Unreal Engine, you have lost the throne. 100% graphics king.

It will get banned in Australia because of the stalking aspects of the game.

[QUOTE="Vesica_Prime"]

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"] You seem to be mistaken. The developers call it "The flying video game." It produces real life graphics; therefore, graphics king.Nerd_Man

Then it'd be a wooden horse, which does not posses the same propeties as a real, alive horse.

Videogames are games where you control an avatar through virtual space.

That's exactly what the conventional video game does, only it is in a digital space rather than our space.

Then would you classify a brick in the same catagory as a bird? Because what you're saying is like saying that a brick is exactly like a bird only that it isn't living, it weighs more, it is not carbon based etc. etc.

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"] If you carve that plank of wood into a horse, it can indeed be a horse.

It cannot be classified as a bird, it can however be classified as a sculpture of a bird. Since there is a main thing seperating the live bird from the sculpture.

The fact that the bird is actually alive, it is one thing but it makes the bird a bird rather than a sculpture. Samething applies to your statement.

In our space he is an image projected onto the screen by a graphical engine that renders the lighting, polygons, bump mapping and textures.

In Uncharted's in-game universe he is a man who seeks treasures and various other objects.

New graphics king confirmed indeed. Its labeled a video game, and produces real life video on the screen. If thats not graphics king, I don't know what is.

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"] So then what's Nathan Drake: a MAN, or a MACHINE?

Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said videogames weren't real, you're just running out of poorly formed arguments that would fall over if I so much cough on it. And by the way.

In-game =/= Real life, I never thought I had to explain that to someone on a videogames forum.

I'm glad that at least some people in this thread agree with me. I guess it was expected that System Wars would go all defensive over my game. The only thing that can beat Crysis is another PC game. Right, got it. If it's on iPhone + Real life visual on a screen, it doesn't count.

[QUOTE="Vesica_Prime"]

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"] Then I don't know what the whole plank of wood vs. horse thing was all about. Of course I can recreate that piece of wood into a horse with good craftsmanship, just as video games are recreations of real life activities and imaginations that people came up with.Nerd_Man

Okay, because you didn't seem to get it.

And of course an iPhone wouldn't beat a rendered in real-time PC game. It doesn't even have enough processing power to match a last generation PC.

Controlling an avatar in the virtual world is what a videogame is. What you're describing is a high tech remote controlled vehicle.

World English Dictionary video game — n
any of various games that can be played by using an electronic control to move points of light or graphical symbols on the screen of a visual display unit

Well where to start first of all the controls seemed so unresponsive he tilts the phone long before the drone moves, second the camera footage and the place where the drone is looking don't always seem to match up and last if that is graphics king game because of real life footage Night Trap on the Sega Cd beat it to it:P

Call me when the implement CryEngine 2 into that camera.

Bullshots, obviously. Low res, lame main character, and the game is confined to one room. I'll pass.

They need to make an actual game with that craft in it.

Next thing they'll be saying is that gifs don't count as proper film, experimental or not.

This is really just a glorified RC. In fact, it's probably a lackluster one at that, in comparison to the real thing.

The problem with forums is you never know if someone's serious. On one hand, I'm hoping you don't honestly think that a laggy video feed is the same as computer graphics (joke threads are nice), but on the other it'd be equally funny if you did.

I would like to note that this thing looks really cool.
