I was going to have the title say "madden 2k6 xbox 360 screenshots", but I thought it would be better if we start posting real ingame screenshots of upcoming next gen games into one thread. Here are some of Madden 2k6 for 360. Just look at the lovely HDR effect. Also, the stadium audience are all 3D, not high quality sprites.
How are you sure they are 'real'? Yes, they are sprites unfortunatly, I've seen them close up. Unless they changed it to include 3d models at the very last minute (and were able to optimize it properly for the significant number of extra polys on screen) nothings changed. Even if they had decided to go with 3d spectators, they would only do so with those that were easily visible durring play, while all the ones in the higher seats would be 2d so that they would have more to work with when getting the important character models (those on the field) up to the level of detail people are expecting this comming gen.
Why is it that 3d gaming has been abouit for over 10 years, yet devs still can't make decent looking trees!
Too much work for the artists!!! I don't think that "screenshot" of that racing game you posted is real. Looks too clean and doesn't have any "jaggies", so it might be a CG render. I'm just saying it might be, not that it is.
Couldn't it just be like a replay or something? Isn't that how they get around posting pics of grand turismo? The replays are much cleaner than the actual game.
trees ? who cares about trees how can it that the damn ball in the nba screenshot has like 20 polys or so man this ball couldnt even roll on the ground with a physic engine :banghead:
From the 1st pic, Michael Vick looks a little chunky, but swole! I love that arena pic. The Project Gotham Racing 3 scene looks spectacular. The NBA 2k6 & DOA 4 look so realistic. I don't know what I'm saying?!?! When I saw these pics, they grabbed the words out of my mouth. I certainly hope these are actual footage pics...
If you go to www.teamxbox.com and go to the xbox 360 video section you can check out video's from all the stuff I posted. Also, it does seem to all be real time. The reason for the lack of jaggies is that ths 360 is running at 1280x720 resolution with 4xFSAA. People have played the games at things like X05 and say the shots are representitive of the games.

Making trees look good usually isn't the problem. Making them look good and run well is. Especially when you have a lot of them. The polys add up VERY quickly.
The trees in Far Cry: Instincts look good in the campaign, and whats even more surprising is that they look good in the Mapmaker as well. Just give the Xbox 360 some time, and we might one day see "Flawless Forests".
This is a quite pointless thread. We do not know if any of these are real shots. You think that they can't drop a few polys or turn of FSAA in a pre render?
Yea no doubt. None of them are gameplay shots either. This next gens graphics are going to look like today's PC games. So if anyone wants to know what the graphics will look like go play Quake 4.
