The fact that Cube is talking about graphics when he said one of the best looking Playstation 2 games was very average graphically tells the whole story, I think both of you do not actually realize what graphics means.

Comparing Binary Domain’s tiny alleyways to the gigantic field of Gran Pulse from FF13 is unfair because you’re comparing a GIANT free-roaming area to a linear corridor. Some textures on Gran Pulse aren’t up to snuff, but again, you’re talking about a massive area.

Anyway, that was off-topic. George just used FF13 to get a reaction out of me and it worked.

Regarding Binary Domain, sorry man but the gameplay doesn’t look visually up to par with other games being released today. And having played the game at E3, I can tell you that, (at least, in that build) there was a huge difference graphically between the in-game visuals and those pretty cutscenes.

Had Binary Domain been released 2 years ago I would have felt differently, but the game simply doesn’t look great. I’m sure most critics will award it 7.0s for its visuals, which is, again, not terrible, but not what I’d expect from a studio of Amusement Vision’s calibre.

BD has impressive cutscenes, nobody’s argued that.”

“Not in-game! In-game the characters look pretty bleh in BD.”

you know what is funny about this? i can’t see the differences between the cut-scene and the in-game play footage you are talking about!
it’s all the same, same quality and details.

“It’s bigger than any single environment in BD will be. Gran Pulse was gigantic.”

it’s big but empty why would i need such environment in BD? BD has many different ground and underground areas including the entire upper city….. the scale is big, when you look up from the ground city you can see all those towers and bridges and the sunlight coming through all this … incredible scenes.
and here we are talking about one single area “Shibuya”

“i agree it’s great! so does in BD.”

Not in-game! In-game the characters look pretty bleh in BD.

“and yeah …. lovely “empty” open world! yeah awesome! (and no it’s not world map!)”

It’s bigger than any single environment in BD will be. Gran Pulse was gigantic.

The more we continue the more stupid this argument gets just read Waffle’s comments again, before you decide to post anything.

The game just simply doesn’t look very remarkable visually, I’d say it looks pretty average. And like I said, I expect better from one of a large video game publisher’s main internal studios.

It simply isn’t pushing the envelope.
