Holy shit on a stick, check out the newest engine tech from the makers of the Unreal games. This is all real-time, built for next generation hardware.

As amazing as it is, a real gamer doesn't care about graphics. |

Yeah, lol indeed, because god forbid one should take gameplay more seriously over graphics. |

if graphics meant as little as you say, then ps3/xbox 360 would not exist.

This is a silly statement, and I think you misunderstood what I meant to say. I am not saying that that graphics are unimportant, I'm simply stating that if you are a true gamer, as great as fancy graphics are, you would not care too much about graphics ("ugly mode" comes into mind). Shit, I'd play a 16bit game over these new fancy games all day if the gameplay is better (ex. Teeworlds). Same reason why many DotA pros prefer DotA over HoN due to gameplay over sheer graphics. Same reason why SF2 community continues to strive as well as Quake Live, which has rudimentary graphics but deep gameplay. And to a certain degree, SC1 vs. SC2 comes into play as well.
Needless to say, graphic matters because people love fancy graphics and it increases sales. There's money in it, so the industry keeps moving forward. It moves by public's demand, and it has little do with what a real gamer cares about; a deep, skill based gameplay. I suppose the term "real gamer" is a funny one, since who decides what is a "fake gamer" and a "real gamer". So I'll just substitute that word to a competitive gamer.
Furthermore, maybe other than some fighting games, there exists no real competitive gaming involved with PS3 and XboX360. It's really there for rich white boys and their CoD, and EA sports games. |

lol xbox 360 exists cause of xbox live and ps3 is around cause it has a lot of great games like god of war and little big planet that aren't available on other consoles. Obviously more games than just the 2 I mentioned.
Anyway going to the pics not gonna lie the graphics are pretty sweet. |

Hopefully someone with an appreciation of competitive multiplayer games can use an engine like this to make a game that is fun, balanced, competitive, and look gorgeous to boot. One can dream right? |

the games you own at, end up owning you | |

This looks cool but a few more years after U4 shit's gonna start to look too real. It will be kinda freaky to play a shooter that doesn't look like a video game. |

I mean yeah we all agree that graphics arent the end all be all of gaming, but they DO matter. If someone ported all of Q3 maps to the original Q1 engine, which would you rather play it on? |

Screenshots are one thing, but really you need to see a video. Screenshots can be "shopped" to look even better. |

Kinda flawed logic in your argument since in case the game mechanics are absolutely equally good ofc there is no reason to choose the worse graphics ...
Can u make a case where u choose a game despite inferior gameplay mechnics , just due to its graphics being so much better ?
Diablo2 vs Sacred 2
Starcraft1 vs C&C Tiberium wars
QuakeLive vs UT 3
CS 1.6 vs Css
Hitman Silent Assasin vs Hitman Blood money
Even Grand prix Legends has its active race driver scene since 1997 ! despite Tons of Need for Speeds being out there
So Graphics dont matter in the sense that i guess there isnt a single game where id choose it due to graphics being better despite inferior gameplay and worse mechanis

From what I've read they said the screenshots are completely untouched and 100% indicative of actual gameplay footage. In fact they say for once, the screenshots dont do the video justice. |
