SHATTERED HORIZON [56k] DirectX10 Only! (Graphics King?) UPDATED: OCT 26th

Looks decent, but I have a question and I hope I don;t sound like an idiot because I seriously want an answer as I do not know it, but would guns even work outer space in the first place? Wouldn't they need combustion in order for the bullet to shoot requiring oxygen? I don't know anything so maybe someone can explain.

Those textures are downright fugly. I'm not impressed.

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"][QUOTE="Too_tight_shoes"]Since we are counting unreleased games then no... rage looks s*** loads better, this game has poor animation and textures when compared to crysis the only thing keeping its appeal is the postprocessing and lighting, seriously I wouldn't pay for this.Too_tight_shoes

Considering the fact that this topic is about graphics, from what I can tell from screenshots, beta or not, doesn't indicate anything to being close to graphics king.

doesnt look that good really.

[QUOTE="Too_tight_shoes"][QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] I wouldn't pay for early beta ether....also the video was all ingame.Cait__Sith

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"][QUOTE="Too_tight_shoes"] The game as a whole, it does nothing to my inner gaming monkey... that and the fact that the trailer was very amateur and made the game seem like it has no depth to it, just fly around shoot things, the MP might be ok but all in all im sure the developers know they are making a graphical showcase with a potential score of 6-7 if lucky.Too_tight_shoes

Its weird but the vibe i get from the pics is like SMG crossed with Halo

wow. dark void isn't even out yet and it's already being ripped off. ain't that a b----.

nope. but i looks exactly like dark void but in space, hence rip off.

so in your opinion, just because 3d mark made tech domes in space it automatically means this crap isn't a rip-off? that's bs. it clearly ripped off dark void. that's like saying that uncharted didn't rip-off gears of war just becuase it takes place in a jungle.

impressive looking game, but animation and character movement looks EXTREMELY boring. i understand this is only early footage. the concept is fascinating.

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Umm... FYI 3DMark 1999 was things in space, and 3Dmark 2003 was men in space suits fighting while flying with boosterpacks on. This game is not a rip off.

correction: you sir, just failed.

first, the game is entirely directx 10. dx10 was not launched until 2007. there goes your bs that this was made in 2003.

second, a benchmark test for computer hardware is NOT a game demo. the biggest reason why is because it's not interactive.

third, the game was first debuted in GC 2008, there goes your 2003 theory again. once again, because the game is dx10 entirely, that means development must have started in 2007.

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Yeah, because Dark Void invented space, guns, and astronauts.Cait__Sith

nope. but i looks exactly like dark void but in space, hence rip off.

that what happens when you try to loook at something wearing fanboy googles. it prevents you from seeing things objectively.

checklist list of similarities:

jetpacks - check

guys flying in full body armor and helmets shooting people - check

fly around huge rocks - check

check list of differences:

shattered horizon takes place in space - check

dark horizon actually has a story and is not just a multiplayer game/frag fest - check

one is a TPS, the other an FPS - check

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] They actually made a demo of this game in 2003, you fail so hard right now its not even funny. And this is nothing like Dark Void, This game is zero-g!Cait__Sith

first off, don't insult me. second, dx10 is not the main point but it is a huge point . incase you didn't read the topic title, let me type it out for you: "SHATTERED HORIZON [56K] Directx 10 Only!"

the selling point of this game is dx10. it doesn't even have a story. there's no single player campaign. it's just a 32 person online shooter in space.

what futuremark did was make benchmark test for pc's to run and score high on arbitrary numbers. yes they had a benchmark test were people were in space. big deal they didn't actually start making it a game until recently and it's clear that although they used an early benchmark test as a staring point, they clearly used dark void as inspiration for an actual game.

nice arguement there buddy. you make no points, only insults. the correct system wars way. how about you take it a step further and start insulting games and fanboys groups while your at it, you know you want to.

You said it copied Dark Void, but I'm telling you the dev group already had the idea LONG AGO. Who cares about the tech behind the game that has nothing to do with this. /argument Cait__Sith

having an idea and taking inspiration from/ripping off someone are two completely different things. also, if the tech behind the game has nothing to do with it, then why is it in the title of the thread and way is the game marketed and made only form dx10 pc's?

@GS: wtf??? how am i getting html errors in this post? there aren't any links?

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. but that's not the point i've been trying to make. that's the point you've been thinking that i've been trying to make and that's where you fail. the point i'm trying to make is that the game is so similar to dark void that it wouldn't surprise me if the devs came out and said that they copied the devs of dark void. that's why i brought up uncharted copying gears. the games have different stories and settings but the mechanics and gameplay are similar. hell, naughty dog even admitted using gears as "inspiration" for uncharted.

and again with the insults, what are you 12? seriously, you need to grow up and learn how to argue like an adult.

i explain my reasoning, you did not. read my post above this one for the reasoning.

again, they had an idea about it. well, so what? many people have the same ideas. hell i could say that they ripped off bungie with space marines because bungie thought of it first. then i could say that bungie stole the idea from the movie alien. then i could say that laien stole the space travel idea from 2001: a space odyssey. none of that is entirely true but they did that inspiration from the former.

like i said, having the idea doesn't mean anything. games are made from omore than ideads. the game play mechanics are clearly based on dark void. how is it that you cannot admit it.

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] No, its funny because you make no sense. Its like saying Ace Combat copied Wing Commander, because in both games you're a pilot.Cait__Sith

way to prevent from contradicting yourself. in one games your in a planet flying around in a jetpack shooting people. the other game, your outside the planet flying around in a jest pack shooting people. how could you continue to not see this???

Ya I'm not quite sure what's wrong with cowgriller but it looks nothing like Dark Void. They both have jet packs and guns! It must be a rip off! Dark Void uses its jet pack a mainly a tool to fly around from spot to spot and not a main component of combat. Also, Shattered Horizon takes place in space! SPACE! In zero gravity nonetheless so the gameplay mechanics are way different considering your floating around most of the time while in combat...people these days...

Anyways this is the first I've heard or seen about it and I must say I'm quite impresssed. Not only does it look good but it also looks like a breath of fresh air that the FPS genre could use. Can't wait to see more!

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="ManicAce"]It doesn't look anything like Dark Void, they're in space of course they're gonna have "jetpacks" and space suits, it's like saying Halo copies Mario because Master Chief has legs. I think you're getting html errors because you've exceeded your fail limit, you should stop posting.

if you'd know anything about shattered horizon, you'd know that you could only use the jetpack in short spurts. think something like sprinting in call of duty. you can't use it indefinitely, there is a time limit. also, just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.

This is pathetic, i always wished these guys would make a game but please make this worth playing, the gameplay already looks weak and thats just the trailer. not to mention the AWFUL VO. Graphics, do look great though, the level of detail is amazing but some reason i am putting a Mirrors edge feal to it which isn't necessarly a bad feel. this is def on my radar :)killa4lyfe

Those screens are mesmerising...

i don't know why, but the high res textures of the moon rocks make them look like plastic. the lighting is nice though. to make things worse, there's no single player campaign whatsoever.
