Look above. We are playing the 80% Qore demo, not an 80% final build demo. The visuals on the left are better.


The one I'm playing looks like the one on the left to me

I was thinking that after playing the demo. Which is the same as the 1st game but with some folliage if I am perfectly honest. If you like the 1st game then you will like this, but if you didn't it's not going to win you over.

The guys on the 1up Yours podcast were saying it's one of the best looking games they've ever seen a couple of weeks ago.



You trust them these days after they have lost all the decent staff.


Huh? So, because three people have left recently, they're just gonna make up complete lies about games? :? Just look at the shots above.....


I am not saying they are lying just that I would not trust there judgement anymore. I have played the demo and to me it looks like the one on the left not the one on the right, and that does not look like the one of the best looking games. It does not look gooseberry fool but more a less the same as the 1st game but with some folliage and flames on later levels.

I'm gonna check it. I don't remember seeing the sunkissed sky glaring in my eyes like the IGN build on the demo.

There really shouldn't be a need.

The demo build is the shoddy one on the right. It's got that reddish look, which stood out to me from the demo I played.

I agree. There's more than a couple of things that give it away too. We are playing the older Qore build, for sure.

It's EDGE.

Most (if not all) of their reviews are wrong & only moronic ***** pay any attention to what they have to say about anything.

LOL.

I just checked, it doesn't have the lighting of the left hand shots but doesn't have that red/brown look of the right hand ones either, so I'm none the wiser.

It certainly has the red/brown look, I don't remember if time of day was variable in the demo, but it was certainly there.

There's a lot less vegetation in the demo compared to the left screens.

I agree with the track choice of the demo there - looking at the maps of all of the tracks on offer, they should have picked...well, any other.
The difficulty? Again, a valid point. Good job I'm strawberry floating awesome and got the gold on my 3rd attempt 8-)
Look at the state of that release date though :|

Take a read at this thread, at first I thought he was joking in light of LBP - but once I reached p3 I just wasn't sure anymore. :lol:

Joke or not, it's pretty transparent that they're using the thread as a platform to voice obvious frustrations at Sony for their alleged 'pandering' to particular faiths.

I doubt anything'll be done about it, but I'd love to see them receive an official response. :lol:

I suppose it was inevitable that it was going to launch amongst a glut of games, but seriously, where am I going to find the time with this lot?
A common problem of late, methinks.

Just been reading through that thread over on the PS forum there... :lol:
