Whoa...... I mean, we all know by now that PS2's graphic is already unbelievable, but this quality?

In this really in-engine or in-game? No way it's not a photo.

It part of a TR's armor if I'm not mistaken but it's the depth the PS2 artists have gone to to make it look like the real thing, just look at the woven fibers and stitch's with all the intricate parts, not just some pixulated flat surface.

You artists at PS2 are the shizzle!

[Raka Maru]

That is some nice photorealistic skinning!

Hmm..

T-ray, how are you doin that? Surely the base texture is not that detailed, the thing would be massive.. Using different materials for each component so you can assign a tiled detail texture? But then thats going to mean a *ton* of geometry to model all that small detail, since you'd have to have a boundary in the mesh itself..

How do you work this sorcery?

He'll probably answer Forgelight but I too am interested in how this is being done.

I wonder if that is how it will look through a sniper scope from, say, three yards.

They should consider doing a "pull back" style video that starts on some fine character detail, moves out to show a squad assaulting a base, then even further to show a massive battle raging. End it with a quick shot of the planet from space with visible explosions highlighting the surface .

Capped off by an orbital strike. No, wait, I hate OS's! Boo!

That would be badass.

Getting kind of tiered of these terrible quality photo's. It's a matter of hitting the Print Screen key.

Were all acting shocked. But really this is just what our modern PC's are capable of when were not playing console ports. God bless PC exclusivity on this one heh.
