Ratchet and Clank PS3: Gameplay vs. CGI (56k warning)

Here's the new CGI commercial for R & C: Tools of Destruction:

link

If you've played the demo or game, you'd notice that the CGI looks remarkably similar to the actual game. Note: I said "similar"--not "the same"--there are obvious particle, lighting, physics, and texture resolution advantages in the CGI movie. But I dare say that Ratchet has gotten much closer to CGI, or "Pixar" quality visuals than any game before it.

Here's some gameplay footage for the sake of comparison:

An in-game cutscene:

And in blistering 1080i high-definition, this game looks much crisper and brighter than fuzzy, compressed gametrailers footage. It's a lot of fun to play, too :)

Pretty. :)

I really like the commercial. Whatever team worked on that ad needs to work on all Sony ads.

No, you didn't tell me. I'm hurt that you'd tell other people without telling me first.

Did you get the 40GB? Heavenly Sword I'm guessing?

I'm getting one when MGSIV or GTAIV comes out, whichever is out first (probably GTAIV now). And it's rumoured to have online so I think that'll be the first game that I kick your ass on. It's gonna be fun to run over you (in the game). Then kill you in MGS, Killzone etc, it's just all ass-kicking for you.

Totally agree, and I been playing this game on my 42 inch LCD HDTV in 1080p and im like stunned with the graphics alone. Its funny because everytime I am playing it my nephews and nieces sit there and just watch it like its a pixar movie, and when I go to play Warhawk or Halo 3 they get mad and say put on the movie of RAC, lol. It truelly is an amazing game even if it is easy, I still love it because of exploring for new items and weapons. Must buy game for anyone who owns a ps3, simply the best ratchet ive played, and worth the buy. :)

haha you wish. You're gonna be walking along, minding your own business in MGO until you spot a magazine featuring Adriana Lima on the cover, and while you're busy "reading the article" I'll come up behind you and CQC your @ss :D

And lol, I haven't told anyone yet. I might make a blog about it in the near future. I got the 80GB with Motorstorm, even though I said before I'd get the 40. I just figured the extra HDD and backwards compatibility was worth the extra money. I also rented Heavenly Sword, so hopefully I can beat that this weekend.

So far, only Motorstorm. I haven't opened it yet, though, since I'm thinking of trading it in for a different game.

No, it doesn't. That's gametrailers' video capturing that's causing the tearing. The game itself runs seamlessly.

:lol: That was good.

I'll think you'll need longer than a weekend for HS. I have concluded that you aren't talented in videogames. I came to this conclusion through solid research (so if you win in any online games in the future it's causing I'm letting you win).

But anyhoo, congrats! I'm not jealous at all.

I beat HS just this week, it took me about 7 hours and it was some of the best 7 hours Ive spent on my PS3.

Trade that in and get Warhawk.

Bad, bad use of the slippery slope argument. Seriously, anyone who uses it in this way just makes a fool of himself.

:lol::lol: @ your comeback

fuzzy, are you thinking of getting Resistance? the single player is really good, and the online is fun.Mordred19

Maybe...I tried the demo and I wasn't very impressed. The shooting action seemed like CoD, but something just didn't feel right. I don't have a lot of time to play right now, or money to spend on games for that matter, but since you recommended it I will definitely consider it.

Btw, what's your PSN ID?

Well, Resistance does feel a little unfamiliar at first. I don't think I've ever seen that game's health system used in any other shooter, for one thing. The art design and music definetly feel different, even a year later for me. Could be unfamiliarity with the PS3 controller in your case, perhaps.

MyPSNID is Mordred19, same as here.
