Everyone is well detailed for a PS2 game, but the only gun that is 10k polys is the players, that is always the highest poly count in a fps, the others can look as good without being as high because your never as close to them.Originally posted by cobragt
What about your enemies? Your team mates, everyone's guns are highly detail and each has 10k polys. All on one screen, lag free.

No live, the ps2 is uber, ALL guns are 10k, even the ones MILES away lol. So the guns 10 k in polys, who gives a toss cobra. Its only so detailed because it's sat in the players face, heck, a ps1 could render a gun using 10k polys.
psm is a rag. You SERIOUSLY think that even though they can't get skidmarks, reverse lights, and interior detail in, they can suddenly run 12 cars on track, when it struggled with 6 or what ever before? *falls over laughing*
cobraGT, the only person who still thinks killzone will be better then halo 2.

You're wrong. See, the reason each gun has 10k polys is they are 3 layers on the guns, according to the devs. Now, I know you have not kept up with killzone info but the devs of the game are using a cool technique. The technique they are using does this. Say if you are looking your team mate, if you are far from him, the detail goes down, when you get closer, the detail goes up. Each of the character's including enemies' guns are equally detailed.

I never said killzone will be better than halo2 and if I did I take it back seeing both the games are totally different. Killzone looking somewhat gritty and realistic and halo2 looking very colorful, gameplay of both will be different to. Well from what I have heard, psm is actually a good mag for info, the preview was well put and the things they claim are too big to be false. Have they ever said anything false about gt3? Sure, the ps1 could make 10k polys for something, but 10k polys for about 8 guns onscreen at once? Doubt that.

Thats stupid developing then, but even if it's true how many thime will you be close enough for 5 or 6 of them to be rendered that high at once, and how will the game run like that. Besides it's not just polys, the PS2 has so much PP (processing power) some of that is taken by the graphics, and the rest is taken by the coding like the AI, so GT3 can only manage 6 cars so thats the PS2 rendeing 6 cars and running 5 AI scripts, you double that and what do you get, a ****ed up game that won't run. GT2 wasn't that superior to GT2 other than more tracks and cars.

Thats a dumb quote even for you, code. How long are you going to stick to this "well they can't even do reverse lights" mantra? Perhaps, just perhaps, they didn't include reverse lights because.......um, nobody is going in REVERSE!
I highly doubt that it is because they don't have the ability to put a couple of white lights on the rear of a car. If they couldn't put reverse lights on, how the hell do they put headlights, tailights, and sun reflections on the cars? Btw, what do u mean, "....it struggled with 6 or whatever before?" I assume by "it", you mean the ps2, but I don't understand the "it struggled with 6" part. I've played GT3 a zillion times and I've never heard my ps2 gasping for breath, or wiping a bit of sweat of it's brow. Don't worry though, the first time my ps2 looks up at me and says, "could you please lay off GT3 for a while, I sure am struggling with all these cars," I'll let you know right away.

Guess you aint seen the test tracks challenges eh majin, where you HAVE to reverse the car, or what about when you spin off, and you have to reverse the car to get it in the correct direction? Looks dumb
Majin, what you quoted was me being sarcastic.
I don't bother to play the test track challenges because the lack of reverse lights just ruins the whole friggin thing for me....

I'm not saying it ruins it ofc, still gonna be an ace game, but it's such an obvious thing to include. Btw those killzone screenies I just looked at are purdy, not s.t.a.l.k.e.r oblivion lost purdy, but very nice anyway
*makes mental note, killzone, kill switch, not the same game*

@ another comedy cobra threadAnd as has already been said, but I feel I should iterate it again for amusement value, the 'Model layering technique' which changes the detail is more often know as LOD 'Level of Detail' modelling in which as you get closer a higher polygon model is used, as those 'brilliant' devs came up with. That doesn't mean no matter how far away it is still 10k polies
it means if its right in your face it may be 10k polies but miles away it will be like 40 polies.Infact even GT1 had it & god knows how many other games. If games didn't have it, they'd run a hell of a lot slower.

I didn't read the whole thread but perhaps they are even attempting to allow it so that cars can be downloaded online onto the harddrive.
