Tiger Woods 2006 Screenshots

[kokyunage]

IGN posted two new Xbox360 screenshots (http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/747/747898/imgs_1.html) of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006. Take note of the difference between the new screenshots and the prior screenshots shown at E3.

Is it me or is there a huge difference in quality between the latest screenshots and the E3 screenshots. What happened to the grass? Sony might have not been the only one up to shenanigans at E3.

I'm thinking that you're maybe looking at the fairways, where the grass is cut very short.

I think maybe this generation of game consoles will not impress us with graphics alone. Whoda thunk it?

[Borys]

Heh. Fucking ugly.

Can you say quick PC-to-360 port?

[Chandler]

Yeah what happened with the grass. It looks horrible in the new screenshots.

At first I thought these screens were from the XBOX version and had just been misplaced. Then I realized that they are in widescreen and thought WTF? Seriously, other 360 games have more polygons in a character's hand than this game does on an entire golf hole, and the trees look like they were ripped out of the PSone versions. I never expected much out of EA, but this is just pitiful by any standards. I know that every game will not look like Oblivion, but come on.

[I am open to the possibility that these are XBOX screens, but the fact the are in widescreen gives me major doubts.]

Maybe the just forgot the to check the 'Cool Grass mode' check box when taking those screenshots?

[Zeal]

Very underwhelming. Lets hope this isn't running on the final Xenos GPU.

[Furious Wang]

Yeah, the pretty grass screenshot is a picture of the rough. Not the fairway which is the new picture.

Game looks ok. Nothing special, but ok.

So many jaggies....

I really think screenshots just make games look worse these days. I for one will wait for a video (unless there already is one I don't know about), before passing judgement.

[Kefkataran]

So many people freaking out about graphics in one place...

Now admittedly, I guess there's not much more to look forward in yearly updates to a golf game, but still.

[Atorak]

Ugh, wish they could at least have paid for Speed Trees, those things are sweet! And why the hell NOT?! A whole friggin golf course is trees and grass....it doesn't seem too difficult to implement, if you ask me.

[LilAbner]

Tiger Woods '05 wasn't much to look at on Xbox, either. Some graphic artist needs to be fired....EA seems to be good at doing that, so why stop now?

[Hav0rs]

I cant believe you guys are falling for the badly hand drawn tiger woods. The enviroments are 3D but the character is hand drawn. Its concept bullshit.

If I worked for EA on TW2006 for the xbox360 and that is the best we could do I would resign.

Just look closely at Tiger in the close up shot of him. He is hand drawn/painted, and it doesnt even look like Tiger. Compare how he looks to the fight night shots. I think someone is having a laugh claiming these are actual screenshots.
