Just in case ya'll forgot, Natsume has picked this up to publish in the west. It seems that this title has really been downgraded, sadly.

I can't even read the text. I'm sure it's the video not the game.

That video was compressed to hell. Its easy to see from earlier pics and videos that it won't look anything like that in the final build.

That must be one hell of a PSP.. But I am not too concerned as this game never really grabbed my attention anyway.

I guess people we're right saying that you're a Lemming in disguise.

It's obvious that the video quality is poor, want a real example of the gameplay? See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQzrWdJBujs&feature=related

wow, that was terrible...Why would sony waste so much time on this game?! What was with all of the loading? Are you seriously telling me that the PS3 cant stream that crap?! You would think that b/c the animals are so important that there animations wouldnt look so robotic as well. This should have just been left as a tech demo...

while I do agree that this game does not look very good (although it has potential, I think.) the graphics are great, it was how compressed the video was. ALthough I will admit that ground textures do seem a bit weak.

you know that is compressed like hell....won't you go check some youtube gameplay vids....in HD....how about that..huh..... oh yeah did you ever get "your" PS3 fixed....can it read discs again BioSucks...

Wow, the maturity is just outstanding here :| Anyway, it was rather ugly but was anyone looking forward ti this?

It's not a case of maturity. It's a case of him posting an obviously HEAVILY compressed video, and trying to pass it off as actually representing the games visuals. If this were a thread about a 360 game, with such a heavily compressed video, there'd be an absolute uproar about the quality of the video, yet in this one, it's somehow being accepted. Why is that?

Compressed video... The localization won't make the game look worse :|. As for the game itself, I'm still not interested in it.

Just watched an HD video, and maybe terrible is a ltl strong but it isnt really impressive either. The game is essentially a big flat texture with some random hills or streams. The textures are pretty bad btw. Also, the animals still look like robots...

ArticEdge didn't question it being overly compressed, so I assumed he believed it to be an acceptable representation of the games visuals. Also, Wolverine4262. Wasn't indicating the whole thread, just certain posters

Nah it looks great. Video is compressed and in SD. You 360 fans really suck at this.

I'm not defending that guy, I'm saying he has some right to question BioShock so badly, considering the obvious flame bait that Bioshock posted, knowing full well he was using a heavily compressed video. I just don't like how BioShock gets a free pass on these boards sometimes, when he's pretty much almost posting flame bait.

I noticed that right away actually... I just tried to ignore all of the graphical flaws of the video...Then I watched something in HD and it still didnt look very good.. For a game w/ boring gameplay it better look fantastic!

I don't get it....I guess we are allowed to spew lies (or in this case play country dumb) and start thread to give gamers the wrong impression....for what incentive....I don't know......for a Grown Man that BioShock is....he started a childish thread....I'm just going with the flow of the thread.

Well, I don't think the guy gets a free pass. Everyone who disagrees with him always feels the need to take shots at him regardless of whether its relevant to the thread or not. In this case, I commented too soon since actually watching the videos like Heretix stated, its clear that the video was compressed. However, simply insulting the user instead of talking about the issue at hand is nothing to defend imo regardless of whether good points are made.

Indeed. The immaturity is sometimes astounding. If one feels they disagree, then please, do it in a proper way, but don't throw out insults.

Don't care. I will never endorse the insults of another user regardless of the circumstance. Never, that is something I will not do regardless of who is in the wrong. People called him out, its done, insulting him is where I draw the line.

Well, it's not very often when people own up when they're blatantly wrong.
