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

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

you haven't proved me wrong. the only thing you proved is that you can't make a legitimate argument and then start flaming.

cowgriller

isnults, threats and bad spelling will get you no where. my opinions are not "disruptive" posts just because they differ from yours. i say say it's clearly a rip off of dark void, you say it isn't. i made some valid posts, you made insults. you can complain all you want, but at the end of the day, we both have differing opinions on the matter.

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Seriously, you see what I have to deal with....lol...cowgriller

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 impressed. 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!

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.

At what point did I ever say that you constantly use your jet pack in Shattered Horizon? Here I'll point it out for you^^^. Maybe you should think before you post instead of jumping the gun all the time.

no,killzone still loook better!

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Seriously this is getting annoying and even other users are pointing it out. If you don't stop your stupidity I'm going to report you for destruptive posting, and going off-topic.

first, unlike you, i do use the spell check feature before posting. second, if this game was only to talk about the games graphics, it should have been posted in the pc board, not system wars. third, i have made valid points, you just chose to overlook them. fourth, differing opinions =/= disruptive posting. get over it. fifth, comparing games similarities is not spamming. if it were, then system wars is nothing more than a spam board which would be contradictory to GS's ToU. sixth, try not to lose sleep because my opinion is different than yours.

actually, i was referring to the blue highlighted portion. the way you worded it made it seem as if you were inferring that you would use the jetpacks in SH all the time and that it's integral combat. btw, it's also integral in DV.

yes i jumped the gun on this one and i apologize.

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] You haven't made a single valid point, and you keep spamming crap about dark void which is off topic from this thread. This thread is tlaking about Shattered Horizon and graphics. And don't "insult" others for spelling when you're not one to be talking.

you didn't even compare this game to any other in your first post. all you did was put crysis in the poll. this thread isn't even about comparing the game, it's about giving information of the game and gloating that it's DX10 only. since your not even comparing the game in the first post, or at all really, this thread is off topic and should have been posted in the pc board. but, i'm just guessing here, you posted this in SW to try to flamebait the cows into posting uncharted 2 pics and have them claim that it looks better than SH. am i right?

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] No this thread is on sytem wars because it is comparing graphics LIKE I SAID. So yes you are going OFF-TOPIC.Cait__Sith

let's be honest here: you knew damn well that if you posted this in system wars, it was with the expectation of having cows come in with pictures of uncharted 2. don't be coy, you know that's the case. if all you wanted to do was inform people of the game, you did your job well. if you wanted a graphcis debated against other games, you failed. hence why i stated that threads like this one should be in the pc board and not in SW. and fyi, i don't smoke.

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Flamebait cows into posting pictures of uncharted? excuse me? This is the point were I ask you WTF are you smoking? Talk about jumping the gun a bit much. And yes this is a graphics thread hence the poll. The OP is to inform people about the game and show them the grpahics of it so they can do a true comparison to other games.Cait__Sith

this may come as a shocker to you, but i didn't go off topic. in everyone of my posts, i mentioned the game, hence not off-topic. as much as i would love to bring in Project Offset to make a graphical debate, there's not much info about the game after the intel purchase. current videos and images of game can only be taken with a grain of salt because know one knows if they are gameplay or in-engine movies. the only other jaw dropping, stunning game coming out would be dirt 2 dx11 version, but it's a racing game with not much action on screen. and dirt 2 is boring, at least the 360 version is.

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] No, again I was not under the expectation of cows posting Uncharted 2 pictures and they didn't. And graphical debate is fine right here it does not have to be in the PC section. You're just trying to find a way to justify the fact you went off-topic.Cait__Sith

yeah i think we could give that a go...

aside from the pics and vids from the engine and the tech demos, there's really not much known about the game other than it is now an Intel Larrabee launch title and it's supposed to show off the power of larrabee. we do know so tech specs, mainly the effects that are used for the game, but for me personally, i'm not sure if the game is still being made for dx9 or the devs are making it dx10 only. the console counterparts have been cancelled by intel. there is a bad sign on the games website that it may be behind schedule. that sign is listing of job posting for crucial development areas such as AI software engineer, fx artist, animators, and software engineers.

the following is off topic, why is it that the creature from project offset and rage look exactly like sloth from the goonies?

i'm claiming rip-off! ;)

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Project Offset is another other game on my radar, but only an in-engine tech demo has been released. So in-game graphics vs tech demo graphics...Cait__Sith

most of the info they give is technical such as global illumination, destructible environments, particle effects and what they term "uber shader". like i said, not much info or media of the game itself, just the engine behind it. btw, what was the facepalm for, the goonie reference? i hope you realise that was a joke?

I do beleive that the graphics look better than Crysis, BUT this is only because there is a lot less stuff going on in the game. Compared to crysis this game is puny. because of this they can amp up the graphics a bit. so Crysis still wins in my book. plus the poly gon count in the game looks meh especialy on the asteroids. I can see vertices sticking out. The rest is good, but cryengine still wins. Project Offset on the other hand has potential to beat crysis. If they fix the shadows a bit then it will look way better.

yeah i guess ur right considering its beta and all. Im glad someone finally decided to make a DX10 only game. Now we will be getting the feature we should have been getting since DX10's release (not to mention better preformance)

UPDATE:

this is pretty impressive: http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114997

Q: As far as I have seen in the trailer the physics in S.H. is quite realistic (zero gravity, mass inertia, no sound in space e.t.c) but what about Recoil? Fireing a projectile weapon in such an enviornment would have an enormous effect. (You would even be able to propell yourself with it.) So my question:
Is there weapon recoil in the game, and how dose it affect Players?

A: The recoil is more noticeable when the suit electronics are turned off.
Otherwise the thrusters will cancel the effects of recoil.

I do find it very funny thata good 30% of this poll voted toMW2 boycott :P.

UPDATE: Some more Q/A

http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114650

Q: Is there a difference in movement or response when standing on a surface? If so, are there advantages/disadvantages to being on a surface?

A: You get a movement speed penalty when attached to a surface, with the benefit of higher accuracy when shooting.

Q: Is movement fairly inertial? E.g. Is there momentum to overcome when reversing or changing direction?

A: You have inertia when flying with your rocket pack but not when walking on surfaces.

Q: Is there an established maximum rotational speed (like turning a vehicle), or is it mouselook-ish (like other shooters, where the player can spin around in virtually an instant)?

A: We designed the game around responsive FPS controls, so moving the camera is "mouselook" **** Certain special situations (getting caught in the radius of an EMP blast) can limit your turning speed.

Q:Will there be options for joystick control?

A:Joystick control isn't currently planned. We prototyped different input methods earlier in the game's development.

Q: Will S.H. implement tri-chording? I.e. Are multiple concurrent thrusts vector-added?
[For example, if a player uses a combined forward + left + up thrust, will this result in more acceleration than a single forward thrust?]

A: Acceleration and maximum speed are the same regardless of movement direction and how many keys are pressed at the same time. We abstracted actual thrusters for the sake of intuitive controls.
