    A trailer for a video game has excellent graphics! Who's have thought it?

    What's that? The in-game graphics might not be as good?

    The advert might have been created on a render-farm?

    They've been doing this kind of thing for years?

    Tell me it's not true!

    (oh, and the plot looked terrible)
    • (oh, and the plot looked terrible)

      you were able to get a plot out of that? I watched in 10 times (trying to find the xbox2 rendered section) and couldn't get ANY basic plot.. I guess it's some guy who's fighting off a teranical overlords?... how original!
  • Someone set up a torrent to the Quicktime fast. I'm downloading it from the server and pieces of it are singed.

    ...but that link seems to be a bit hosed so I couldn't even find the link to the trailer :(

    After a wee bit of googling I figured this is it though [gametrailers.com]

    • Even less googling turns up wardevil.com Unfortunately, the site seems to be acting screwy, so I guess I'm not the first person to think that probably should have been mentioned in the write-up. Thanks to the site being funky, I still haven't even figured out what *type* of game it is... Or, do we just assume FPS these days?

    Wow, the next Xbox will be able to play FMV. Amazing. Maybe next they'll add DVD playback capability, sure must require some really beefy hardware for something like that.

    • I don't know... have you ever watched a trailer from an XBN disc? Perhaps FMV playback is a harder proposition for MS than previously imagined.

    Sure, the trailer was pretty. But games have had pretty cinema scenes for a long time now. The real question will be what does the *ingame* graphics look like? This of course what be known for some time, I expect.

    You can download the trailer/get more info from the developer's craptastic Flash site for the game: www.wardevil.com. [wardevil.com]
  • This is a 100% pre-rendered advertisement for a product that doesn't exist yet. No clips of rendering from actual XBox 2 hardware, just pure unadulterated movie scenes.

    *yawn* Wake me when someone's got real footage.

    And for those that don't want to wait for the forum to load, go here: http://www.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_wardevil.ht ml [gametrailers.com]
  • If only those graphics weren't pre-rendered, and that was all in-game stuff. Hey, you know, maybe that's what it really is, eh? Please? Please?

    I for one welcome our new Unholy Overlords

    ahhgahgahgahgahgah
  • Is there ANYTHING in that trailer that says what platform it is coming out on? Looks like another 100% pure speculation passed off as a "scoop" from here.
  • Does even the lowest common denomenator twelve year old INTRAAWEB FFOOURUM poster fall for this kind of thing? For all we know, this could be running on a Turbo Duo, not that it makes any difference anyway.
  • Oh yea, i saw it before in theaters when it was called the chronicles of riddick.
  • Or does that game look like a big Chronicles of Riddick ripoff, setting-wise?

    This is a nice pre-rendered CGI trailer. Read the information on the developers site. These are million plus polygon characters that show the overall look they are trying to achieve. There are some screenshots on the site but even these are listed as works in progress. They only show some architecture and working lower res models.

    I eagerly await Peter Moore's next tattoo.

  • Well, I've been looking around at the official site, (Flash-based.. Eugh!) and it seems that they have some screenies taken directly from the in-game level available for you to look at. Not amazingly impressive, but definetely an upgrade to current consoles. Check them out at the official site.

    Um. No. [elderscrolls.com]

  • I smell vapor ware.. the site was first created in June 2003... The entire trailer was rendered... The website makes no reference to platform. And they appear to be making a film also at the same time. http://digi-guys.com/ is the parent site, and it is even more sketchy. The appear to be a 3d animation firm, that has not done any work, but they seem to have alot of toys and are very well funded judgeing from there gallery and facilities page. I will give them this though, they have some talented mode

Fast, cheap, good: pick two.

Working...
