Horrible graphics

babygushue · 10-15-2005

So what do you guys think of the graphics?

some say that since the maps are huge and the graphics are so bad, that it is hard to see the enemy from far away.

It's fine by me. It seems about the same as s2 to me.

well, you need to realise one thing. Sequels to computer games always look better, but because in the time between the games, the hardware has become better and more performant. this is something consoles cant do until they just release a newer version (we all know how popular the attachments have been in the consoles world, sega-CD anyone?)
If you do notice some improvment in graphics over the course of say, the ps2 (compare gtaIII with gta:sa, yet its all running on the same hardware)
its because over the course of time, developpers get to know the console"s inner working better, and can maximize everything they do (more polygons, better res on textures, etc...)
so what this all boils down to, with making s3 on the same hardware as s2, yet making it much bigger levels, more players, better lag managment, etc, that doesnt leave alot of room to further improve the graphics. Yet they still have, to some extent. I mean, compare the water in s2 with s3 h2o...

but all in all, if when you buy a new game you expect and demand significant graphical upgrades, then I suggest you focus on PC gaming, and have fun shopping for pc parts every 4-6 months.

I think some levels the graphics are great. but a couple levels are very bad. (IMO)

I think the graphics are good about the same as socom 2

they are better then socom II. not tryin to be a mod or anything but this should be in gen. discussion.

The gameplay pwns... so I would take socom 1 graphics with this game.

i'm going to be honest, graphics are the last thing i look for in a game. in shooters i look for controls and how the game plays. in other games like action or rpgs i look at the story first, not graphics. ffVII is my fav game ever and look at those graphics. i like the graphics in s3, sure i've seen better, but i like the graphics. so if you combine decent graphics with phenominal game play then in my eyes you have a phenominal game

as long as the graphics are ok it doesnt make a diffference. the graphics for socom3 arent out of this world but very good and dotn affect gameplay. some of teh rendering and stuff was awesome.
