Socom Confrontation Graphics are awesome (EDIT: ps blog interview added)

Topic:: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/07/03/inside-the-developers-studio-seth-luisi/

EDIT::: this screen shot is actualy from the sony blog.. Link is at the top. i will put some of the interview below:::

2. What did you do on this game that you couldn't do on another platform?
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation makes full use of the HDD in the PlayStation 3. One of the often overlooked advantages of the PS3 compared to competing platforms is that it contains a 2.5" serial ATA hard drive which allows us to use the Hard Disc Drive for extremely fast data access. Since we can count on the hard drive to be in every PS3 console, SOCOM Confrontation uses a very aggressive data streaming system which in turn allows for much greater detail in the game environments. For this reason alone, the level of detail which you will see in the environments and characters in SOCOM Confrontation is not possible on any other game console.

Take a quick look at the screenshots below for an early look at what we are able to achieve using the hard drive in the PS3. This is still pre-alpha and the quality will continue to improve as we get further into development.
3. What do you think is the coolest aspect of this game?
The environments are the real star in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation. We are focusing a lot of effort on creating intricate and highly detailed urban environments. The amount of detail in the environment will help you to easily distinguish where you are in the level and the intricacy means that you are going to discover new areas and snipe points long after you thought you had the environment memorized.

The characters are also looking really good.

At the top of the post is an in-game screenshot of our Heavy Commando model. The skin shaders, cloth shaders, normal maps, and highly detailed textures allow us to have extremely realistic characters in the game. Again, this is a work in progress.

Im talking about the face.. i think the rest of the environment needs work to actually be Crysis-like.. but remember guys this game has been in development for 6 months!!!!

Crysis can't touch that red X!!Bansheesdie

I dont get it? I know it aint crysis all-around in graphics.. but the facial texture def is on crysis level.

Socom looks great but compared to Crysis? Get real son.LuvGaming

thats odd. i put up a link now so if you still dont see the pic then check out the link.

sorry bout that man.

I see it now, and that is a very nice looking face. Other then the face though...not so much.Bansheesdie

I agree with you that all-around it aint THAT great. but lets remember 6 months of dev and they got to this point.

I think when it releases it will look as good as any true next-gen game

I see what you are saying about the face compared to the face of the guy from crysis. It isn't far off but its still not Crysis. Idk what it is but Crysis is harder to tell its a video game character.PDark_Prodigy

yup i really mean the face. but im hoping they improve on everything from the cloths to the environment.. ( =

Ok guys. you clearly misunderstood. thus i took it off the topic. i meant the facial texture of crysis-level and you can deny that even if you want to. i added the real source of info, its from the ps blog.

I also added some of what the dev had to say about his game.

Sorry TC, but the facial features in Socom ARE NOT CRYSIS LEVEL.

Compared to this, Socom's faces are a blurry mess.

Unless you have a screen shot thats in-game instead of a head floading around.. i wont believe it. now i know crysis facees are going to look REALLY GOOD (probably the best around) but that pic looks 2good for in-game while im playing the actual game....

It almost looks as good as the GeoW faces. Can't touch Crysis.baddog121390

What are u guys talking about this game comes no where near Crysis level, I think they are onlymediocre and arn't that impressive, have u seen the trailer? GRAW 2 looks better in my opinion. And did u see the unatural stupid looking crouch walking movements? u guys are on something!GreasyFetus69

this is a downloadable title you do know that. on top of that its been in dev for 6 months... i think for them to pull that off for a downloadable title in six months is pretty damn good. wait till its full release which it will look better no doubt bout that, to make final judgment bout the game..

agreed. they are preparing for an e3-build.. so we will find out then if the game is actually going to look drastically better. i think it will look perfect for a game that is only multiplayer and a downloadable.

games like warhawk and confrontation aren't about showing graphics but FUN multiplayer only's.
