Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom [PS3] Screens

[Borys]

The first official screenshots from upcoming Playstation 3 game - Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom have been released and well, see for yourself...

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdoms Screens (http://www.gamerevolution.com/screen/ps3/untold_legends_dark_kingdom) on GameRevolution.com (URL=http://www.gamerevolution.com).

A Playstation 3 game looking worse than Ninja Gaiden on Xbox? ... REALITY CHECK in the Sony camp :(

EDIT: The images are being taken down from every website out there. Sorry, folks.

SOE requested these shots to be removed (under embargo apparently)... everything will be revealed on the 15th.

[Grifter]

Looks like they have been removed. :(

[gzsfrk]

Can't get to the page here either. Wonder if this is more "damage control" on Sony's part?

[Zeal]

Sony is getting really nervous about PS3's graphical capabilities.

[jacktion]

Sony shut this down quick. I didn't know Gamerevolutions was on their payroll. Live and learn.

[absolut taco]

That gamerevolution url is a bit broken...

[absolut taco]

Sony shut this down quick. I didn't know Gamerevolutions was on their payroll. Live and learn.
It's probably not so much that gamerevolution is on Sony's payroll as they wanna avoid Sony's lawyers.

[ProfPuppet]

Anyone save the images, have them still in cache, whatever?

[DarkEternal]

Hmm... Sony sweeping things under the rug for a little while longer.

[Grifter]

Is it possible that the screenshots were from a very early version of the game and do not represent the final product therfore causing more damage than good? Is it also Possible that the dev's just sucks and this game is not representative of what the average PS3 game will look like.

About the only thing we know about the PS3 is the GPU and CPU of the unit puts it right about on par with the 360 give or take and I think the 360 games are looking good so far and will only get better, I expect no less from the PS3.

[Red Cloak]

The shots are from the game Josh Robinson got fired over. They are awful, wow just awful.

[Switcher]

I've seen a number of shots from the game - They're in the latest issue of OPM, btw.

And well, it looks good. But it's a cartoony-art style, very much like the Mark or Kri. And there's only so much you can do with that to make it, I dunno...realistic. The main character is super buff - very exaggerated, has long dark hair, and wears many random pieces of very shiny armor. This all looks good, but there's only so many things you can do with the art style.

The real question is, how it plays.

Time is running out for SONY. I say delay the PS3 till christmas 2007 with a good line of launch titiles.

[Gotti]

We have the screens posted on Gamers Reports at http://www.gamersreports.com/news/1698/ if you guys wanna check them out

Thanks for the link, Ret!

And yes, I have to say--those screens look like a straight-to-$19.99 Xbox game from 2003, at best.

[Crenor]

PS3 might not be on par. Reading all the Cell info it looks like if you have an AI intensive game that performance would take a major hit, which would mean graphics would have to suffer.

[absolut taco]

Will everyone please calm down. It's one ugly game. It surely isn't what every game will look like.

[EvilBob46]

The art direction is terrible. The models are terrible. Everything about this looks terrible. I'm inclined to say it is due to the early developement status of the game or the ineptitude of the games's art staff though.

[Kamalot]

Wow.

just...wow.

I suppose the power of the PS3 is that you can now play PS2-quality games in 1080P!

[gzsfrk]

It really shows your bias when you make snap judgements based on a couple of low res screens.

You're right about that, of course, in that it's incorrect to make judgements about the PS3 based on early WIP screenshots from a game. However, I don't care what resolution the snapshots are in, I am able to tell the art style and quality of the game based on those linked above, and I can subjectively state that -I- think that they look terrible, and I certainly hope they are not demonstrative of what will be typical on the PS3. Suffice to say, I'm concretely certain that they do NOT represent anything near what the system is capable of. I think the MGS4 footage will ultimately be very close to what we ultimately see in top-tier PS3 games.

[ProfPuppet]

I want to smack whoever did some of the artwork. That scene with the character tossing an enemy up into the air, and there's a table in the upper right that looks like it was copy-pasted in...

Anyway, I'll save my final judgement for when the game comes out. For all I know these screens don't reflect what the game is like now, and the thing might have incredible animation. Also not judging the PS3 on this, because one game does not a system make. Unless you own an X-Box mainly for Halo. Zing! (Joke, no flame/derail over that comment please.)

[Kamalot]

I think the MGS4 footage will ultimately be very close to what we ultimately see in top-tier PS3 games.The Metal Gear Solid 4 footage from the Tokyo Game Show, is the best-looking evidence that the PS3 can make pretty graphics. While nice looking, it isn't anything when compared to last year's E3 videos shown which turned out to be a giant sack of stinky pre-rendered lies. Playstation fans everywhere are holding on to this one demo as proof that ‘their’ upcoming system of choice will be the most powerful.

Hideo Kojima, the game’s creator, has now gone on record saying that the Xbox 360 is capable of running the PS3's Metal Gear Solid 4. (http://kamalot.blogspot.com/2005/11/ps3-hard-drive-online-xbox-360.html)

[Overbyte77]

My guess is this will be a game that will run relatively smoothly in 1080p so Sony can say they can indeed run games in that res. If not, then, wtf...

[RainOfTerror]

The reason why the screens were removed is because they are under embargo until March 15th. SOE had a press event last week where they showed the game, and a few others, and coverage for Dark Kingdom, including the assets are under embargo.

A few people are getting yelled at and threatened as we speak.

None of that changes anything to the way the game looks of course, but having seen it in action, it does look better in real life than on those screens.

Well, a little bit anyhow :)

[dragntyr]

Wow guys, I knew most of you are biased towards Sony, but it has come to the point of stupidity. Most of you guys are judging the capabilities of a console on a single , albeit ugly, game that is also most likely still in the early stages of development.
If I made a post stating that 360 wasn't capable of next gen graphics based on screen shots of College Hoops 2k6, of which I personally believe looks barely better than a ps2 game, many would cry foul and call me retarded; and you guys would absolutely right. So to all the haters, pull your heads out of your asses.

It's rare that you'll see me defending Sony, but people put way to much stock in graphics without having, seemingly, any understanding about how that relates to gameplay.

GTA3 looked nearly like a PS1 game. It had to because it's scope was so massive it didn't allow for intricate charachter models and other useless stuff. It spent it's money on the things that mattered to enhance the gameplay. That kind of game with the visuals of ninja gaiden? That's right on part for the next generation.

[Watership]

It's one game, and it's not done yet. And really, did Kameo look any better?

[Stric9]

These shots are in PSM and they don't look that great, but the game is being done internally by SOE so what do you expect? It's funny because they had an interview with someone at SOE and they asked why they were doing a new Untold Legends instead of Legends of Norrath and they stated because they had done the UT engine in house where as LoN was done outside by Snowblind. You know Snowblind would never have produced this tripe. There were some other shots in the latest PSM as well including a game called The Darkness which I wasn't all that impressed with either, of course the only game to really impress me on the 360 so far is Fight Night Round 3.

[NightRain]

It's one game, and it's not done yet. And really, did Kameo look any better?
Yes, Kameo looks much much better, did you even play it?

[mister_slim]

This is like blaming Epic for the way Everquest II looks. Blame SOE.

[Overbyte77]

Yeah, but, this is a game made by Sony.

[HellbenderX]

This is like blaming Epic for the way Everquest II looks. Blame SOE.
Are you under the impression that Epic produced the engine for EQ2? I think you're confusing it with Vanguard.

-H

[Jengaaa]

Wow.

I couldn't care less about xbox 360 or ps3 these days. I'm not spending the money on either system when we haven't seen a graphical leap (in any title) that matches that of the ps1 to the ps2, or any other system graphics leap beforehand.

I hate to say it, but I might just be skipping this console generation.

That said, it's just one game. It is not representative of anything. Except the art direction at one solitary developer. Stop blowing this up. I just read 8 pages of fanboys bitching about and to each other, let's not have any of that.

[Demo_Boy]

umm, this game does not have bloom effects.

ps3 does the best bloom effects.

add bloom and this game will look awesome:

BWWAAAAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The graphical "leap" between the PSX and the PS2 was more of a stumble! I was playing Shadow of the Colossus the other day and marvelling at how pixelated all the textures are - BIG SQUARES of color, like Descent 1 for the PC all over the place. They managed to put in a few key effects to doll it up, but honestly, the PS2 has NEVER had good graphics - merely adequate.

The Dreamcast SMOKED the PS2 in graphics quality. The Xbox did and CONTINUES to do the same. And if you claim that the graphics from Fight Night or Ghost Recon for the 360 isn't a big leap from the Xbox...

YOU ARE FUCKING BLIND!

Any PS3 news AT ALL will get posted. This is PS3 news. If the screenshots were kick-ass, then we'd be talking about how kick-ass they are.

These screenshots might be the first shots we've seen on final PS3 Cell/GPU hardware. And yes, they're underwhelming at this point.

Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/) has some screens (http://eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=63205) of fighter sim Over G Fighters. This game looks shit. Therefore the Xbox 360 is shit? Please.

We've seen the MGS4 video. It's common knowledge the PS3 can at least perform as well as the 360 (if not a damn sight better). Why is this even a debate?

[drakkarim]

whatever the case might be, i'd rather play this game then anything 360 has released so far. not that i'll be buying either in the next couple years.

Take a look at Silent Hill 1 (PS1) versus Silent Hill 2/3/4. There was a graphics leap, but a lot of that is game developers figuring out how to get the most out of the engine.

Because, if not, just so you know, just a heads-up, a little 'FYI from this guy', ummm... uhh. . ya. . . I uh. . . . well, the thing is...

Seriously. If you're not joking, there's something you need to know, and it's that, even though I'm a proponent of opinions, and I usually say that noone's opinion is wrong, your opinion is wrong. No questions asked, no real contest. You are wrong, your opinion is wrong, wars are started because of such glaring flaws in opinion such as you have shown here today. If this was a religious debate, and I was someone who believed one thing, and you were a person who believed in something that was, say, completely batshit loony, improbable, and a crime against reality, then I would also say you are wrong. But you don't believe that invisible dragons fly just under the crust of the Earth and cry a single tear whenever we litter and maybe if we litter too much they'll all cry in tandem and the molten core of the Earth will cool and the planet will explode as the axis suddenly rocks a quarter minutiae to one side, sending us careening through the atmosphere into the unforgiving black that is the Universe.

But your statement does kind of reflect that.

Just so you know.

[Mason]

All links are down, doh.

And kids, we're supposed to be pretending not to all be anti-Sony idiots. A reportedly ass-ugly game in an unknown stage of development doesn't prove anything about the system. It's cute as a "gotcha" sort of thing, but that's all.

[Borys]

Dudes, I went sleep just after I submitted this, and didn't know it was shot down so fast.

It looks atrocious and YES it is a PS3 game - featured in the newest Official Playstation Magazine, they say for instance that when you kill a skeleton its bones will get Havoked around.

Thanks for the links with the pics intact.

Today a part of Sony believer in me died.

There are a thousand explanations for why these screenshots might not represent what the PS3 is actually capable of, or even representitive of this game's final product. Let's please just wait and see...

And yes, Kameo did look better. Kameo for-the-fucking-WIN!

[Wonka]

Geez,

Those screens don't look *THAT* bad. I mean it looks obvious that the game is still in development. But this is not that far off from what I expect for early PS3 games. The big holdup with next gen games is no longer whether the hardware will be adequate. It's whether or not the development team will be able to make the art assets, engine adjustments etc. take advantage of the gear. Expect underwhelming/delayed launch titles, and even more improvements (than previous generations) throughout the lives of ALL these consoles ACROSS the BOARD.

The whole industry is hitting a wall. It's the law of diminishing returns. It costs exponentially more time and respources to make these games look twice as good with each generation. And the price is starting to get uncomfortably high for investors.

The hardware for the PS3 and the 360 has been announced and its not *THAT* different in terms of overall capability. Nothing like last time where one machine was double the other (and even so, I note that it STILL didn't stop very many games from being made on both platforms last time). This time, it looks like it will be the software that decides which machine performs better (in terms of getting some actual usage out of more complicated mutithreaded architectures). Who will have the best games? Who will have the best tools? Who will have the most publisher support? Who will have the best/most means of getting games actually MADE that can actually take advantage of the hardware in a timely fashion? These are the questions that matter for this generation.

[saran_js]

you guys are all loony. Shut up already and just wait for the final build. This is only one game out of many. This one does not portray the actual capabilities of the console. Note that there are good one and bad ones. This may be a bad one.

[gabrielwalker]

I'm probably as much of a Nintendo fanboy as there ever is, but even with this post, I have to be fair. Let's look at a classic game that almost everyone enjoys, and can agree was wonderful:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

http://zso.krahs-emag.com/beta/VeryBeginning/FightWithKnight1.gif

Oh wait, that's a screen shot of a very early alpha build... little more than just a graphics test, designed for hardware that wasn't finished yet. Maybe a beta shot would be better.

http://zso.krahs-emag.com/beta/VeryBeginning/Goobers!.jpg

That's better. Wait. Well, is it? There's only rudimentary texturing. The ground is just a gradient... the monsters look incredibly cartoony, while the Link model looks more realistic than the rest of his surroundings. Oh, right... they weren't done with the art direction yet.

http://zso.krahs-emag.com/beta/MoreDetailedWork/Dungeon+Dodongo.jpg

Well, the Dodongo looks dead-on to the final release. Look at it. ...Er. Well, no it doesn't. He looks really crappy, really. That's... laughable.

http://www.zeldauniverse.net/gallery/albums/screenshots/oot/dodongo.jpg

Oh THERE we go. That's a shot from the final game, after it was released. A lot of the art direction and texturing was done in the final months up until release, and that's pretty clear here. Even with a game on the N64.

...So, come on. The game's not done yet, AND it's being designed around hardware that isn't even finished and on the market yet. Cut 'em some slack?

(BTW, not my images - I just found them via Google.)

[easi]

Sony-bashers beware the ides of March.

[Twigz'N'Berries]

Yeah, it does get a little tiring reading all of the anti Sony sentiments, and I don't even like Sony. Just remember the glass hoouse MS is in before you throw stones. Does anyone remember the early build of Dead Rising or Frame City Killer (unaffectionately nicknamed 'Plain Sh_tty Filler')? Honestly, that name was appropriate if they would have launched that game looking the way it did. It would have just been there for launch filler. Oh, and Gun for 360 isn't the prettiest game either (I know, its a port).

[Pumped'Up]

Help me!!!!!!!!! which console do you think is better????? AHHHHH!!!

360 - screen (http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/44954/Robotron-2084/)

It is pretty friggen funny how defensive and angry the Sony army is getting over these screenshots. MS fanboys got it WAY worse during the era of Wallguy, but now the tables have turned and here come the water works and the cries of, "oh it's not finished I'm sure this hideous fucking game will be gorgeous in a month or two."

[bapenguin]

Honestly...they don't look THAT bad. In fact, it looks more like a stylistic decision.

You're a sly one Pumped'Up! :)

Wow, just wow. 7 pages of fanboy tripe.

These shots do not look that bad. We have no idea what final PS3 games will look like. The 360 has some shitty looking games and some great looking games. Your penises are all going to be okay. Your wallets are not.

The end.

[Dirty Harry]

Looking at some of the screen shots it does look rather bland like the game has no world objects at the moment. Who knows maybe this game will be fun, you know what games are supposed to be.

[ezra]

There are some very angry people on this website.

[Mason]

The worst thing about the screens is that the lighting model clearly isn't done (sometimes things seem fullbright, most things lack shadows, etc), and the art direction is pretty poor. An uneven mess, but it could end up within spitting distance of Kameo in time, assuming these flaws are due to early development and not ineptitude.

I've been critical of pretty much everything Sony's done this past year, so I wish you guys would save your ammo until we can see where Untold Legends stacks up to PS3 games. If the cackling horde eat their words on this one, it makes everyone who's been skeptical of the PS3 look bad.

[mister_slim]

I hadn't really thought about how HD could benefit overhead dungeon crawls. Playing 4-player X-Men Legends was kind of annoying because the screen was too small. HD could keep players visible while expanding the playfield. Of course, a game depending on that probably wouldn't be too playable on a SD TV. Oh well.

[RevGored]

Your post is a masterwork of genius. Sadly it is also entirely incorrect. What I said is the absolute truth. Perhaps you are mistaking art design for technological graphics quality?

Conversely, you could be mistaking the combined handiwork of magical elves and dwarves working as a cohesive whole to create chocolate headphones, but instead, you're just saying the DC was technically superior to the PS2. I love this conversation, as I've had it many times with another one of my friends who is also of the flawed opinion. If you want to talk graphical capability, please show me a screenshot of two similar, same-release window titles across both platforms, and we'll let the forums be the judge.

I'm waiting for the VF3tB screens against the Tekken Tag, or the NFL 2K against the Madden 2000, etc.... there's really no compare. As much as I like my DC, and still play Wetrix and Soul Cal to this day, I know that it can't stand up the the PS2, without question.

[Morratut]

I don't think they look that bad to be honest. It just likes a work in progress.

Even I can see the 'next gen' richness in those low res shots.

To me they don't look worse than Ninja Gaiden..

X-Men Legends 2 for the Xbox runs in 720P. It does not make that much of a difference.

Sony should be proud of showing off these screen shots since they are going to show up in the Official Playstation Magazine. If these screens are good enough to show off in the OPM, then they should be a good representaiton of the final game.

I"m glad that these shots were released, to ground people in reality. Many Sony fans (some of which are here, and you know who you are) think the PS3 is going to be exponentially better graphically than the Xbox 360. That's total bull shit; the Cell won't enable time travel, and it won't dynamicaly simulate a galaxy. iI would actually have a better opinion of Sony 'if' they actually release these screens on the 15th.

After the bull shit with the Killzone footage, it will take a lot for me to respect Sony (real gameplay my ass).

Thought this link was pretty funny.

Thank god Sony is over.

Please move the Ace Combat series to the 360.

Anyone who thinks that is crazy... just like anyone who thinks these screenshots represent the pinnacle of what the PS3 will be able to achieve is crazy also. I really can't believe how much people love blowing shit out of proportion here, though. One news story like this can turn these forums from fairly intelligent videogame discussion to slavering fanboy and anti-fanboy ridiculousness.

Yeah, but it was inevitable for MS fans to react like this; Sony fans said the same types of thing. I think we all just need to accept that neither console is anywhere near their full graphics capabilities.

Reasonable and true.

Yeah, but the XML2 has to be playable via 480i as well. A game designed for 1080P, say, would be able to show vastly more level while still devoting the same number of pixels to characters.

and please make god of war 2 for the xbox.....:)

[bjornbarspingvinen]

I'm surprised that most of you actually find the time to enjoy videogames at all, what with being so stuck on your "MY CONSOLE IS BETTER THAN YOURS AND MY DICK IS BIGGER TOO" shit. Oh well.
what he said....

THe only bad thing is that I probably have to buy 2 consoles to play the games I want to play. I would love a unified format so people wouldn´t be so biased and diss some series just because they are so tied to one format.

I am an equal oppertunity game player. I, through decisions I have made and hard work, can afford to buy all the consoles. Whether I choose to is up to what games I want to play. I own all three current gen consoles, and I bought a 360 at launch and a PSP, I have not however picked up a DS, I do own a GBA SP.

I am still on the fence on the PS3, right now I am waiting to see, although I am getting closer to pre-ordering it when I can. Actually my wife said that I should preorder, she knows how I can get, bless her soul.

As for the DC vs PS2 argument, I also thought the DC has more vibrant graphcis and overall enjoyed the look of the DC games over the PS2. For what ever reason a lot of the PS2 games where dark and kind of muddy. Even look at Shadow of the Collosus and God of War. Ratchet and Clank and the Sly Cooper series being the exceptions. They are no doubt good looking games, but they just aren't "vibrant". I am not sure why I feel this way but I do. Run Soul Calibre for the DC on a VGA cable and tell me it doesn't look incredible even today. I saw SC running on a monitor at Fry's with PS2 running some fighting game back in the day and it looked better at the time. I Having said that I am really looking forward to http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/singleitem.asp?itemid=920500&sort=1, I think this game will be vibrant and oozes style.

Thanks.

thats what we said about *** when they showed us saints row pics from the 360 last year. you are an idiot.

The majority of people in the world have 480i TV screens. All games this generation will have to be developed with 480i in mind.

Hence the abstract musing about the possibilities rather than excited frothing.

Wow Untold Legends for PS3 Looks like the KillZone and Motorstorm trailer.
I had my doubts on Sony and their PS3 and with all the silence it was starting to worry me, but Wow!
Sony just blew us all away once again with IN-GAME SCREEN SHOTS from Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for the PS3,
RUNNING in REAL-TIME, Maybe Sony will release a video of in-game footage this year! Thank You Sony, and I apologize, I'm truly sorry in doubting the Playstation 3's ® "Playstation is a registered trademark of Sony" Capabilities, I am really exited about this game and I'm ready to pre-ordered the ps3 with this game. What do you PS3 bashers,haters,blasphemers and doubters have to say now? huh? huh? Microso** is going to have to work extra hard to take on the PS3's 4D world.
