Movie-style trailers do not equal next-gen - Blu-ray Forum

baccusboy · 07-18-2007, 01:43 PM

Anyone else bothered by this?

I was watching trailers of the "Heavenly Sword" game, and also own several PS3 games. I am a little disgusted thusfar, although I love using it for watching movies and it's worth the price as a BR player.

Why is it that we get so many games everyone posts screenshots of, and ooh's/ahh's over, yet they are almost always screen shots of trailers -- not gameplay? The only semi-interesting game I've seen where the actual gameplay impressed me is Rachet/Clank. Even still, i's hard to discern what is actual gameplay from rendered trailer advertising. Heavenly Sword seems to showcase lots of trailers, but gameplay I've seen so far looks a lot like everything else in its category.

Anyone else disappointed so far?

I'm not disappointed with the exclusive titles. However, any multi platform title has been more than disappointing for obvious reasons.

As long as sites like GameTrailers post pure gameplay footage, I don't see the problem.

Now days, most trailers you see are of in game footage. If it's not actual gameplay, 9 times out of ten it is a cutscene of in engine footage, which means the graphics will look like that while you actually play it.

As far as HS gameplay looking the same as all other games in its genre, well, if you're not a fan of the genre then ya it will look like that. Just like if you don't play turn-based RPGs they will all look the same to you.

There are tons of differences to those who care though.

Yer, alot of 360 fans are bashing it and callin it a god of war clone, but yet there new RPG 'blue dragon' looks exactly like FF but i doubt anyone will bash them for that.

Heavenly sword just like gta games is using the game engine to create the cinemas, so expect the game to be just as good, and alot of the footage in the trailers is game play. As far as it being chick of war, or whatever they are saying, the reviewers who have had hands on experience with the game seam to think its not the same, but quite different.

Even if it was like God of War, how is that an insult? God of War is an awesome game. I'm sure if 360 got another game like Gears of War, they would praise it to no end. Just plain foolish if you ask me.
