Edgey about DKCR compared to Metroid graphics wise

from a IGN interview with a developer.

Retro: Each level in DKCR contains about three times the detail of an average Metroid Prime 3 room, as far as the texture count and poly count. That has required us to really ramp up our technology to support that. We're playing on the same platform, but with three times the content in any given level. That was a challenge. But I'm really happy to say that we have a very talented and passionate group of engineers who met that challenge head-on. The Metroid Prime 3 engine couldn't run this content. And as far as the time it took, even though we were putting three times as much into these levels, we couldn't take any more time to do it. So we've really had to improve our internal disciplines and our tools to support that kind of production.

So straight from the horses mouth. DKCR > MP3 when it comes to tech. And I agree, the game has a more organic look, with jungles and stuff happening at the background. Everything feels more 'alive' then Meroid.

Wouldn't that make sense though, that an entire level in DKC would have more polygons than a single room in Metroid? I still think Metroid Prime 3 is the most impressive looking Wii game on the whole, with the size of the worlds and what they were able to do with them. Just from looking at it with the human eye. Also the Galaxy games, but the worlds are smaller with many times not much in the background.

I'm sorry. What were you saying? I was distracted for a moment.

...speaking of which...

Where HAS Steel been lately?

And gameplay too given that it looks like it doesn't suck.

By room they probably mean between the loading sections/doors which is all the game renders at a given time outside glimpses of what's beyond in certain spots. But yeah they should have probably clarified a few more details further to make the comparison stand better.

Glad you got MotoHeroz, great little game.

Uncharted 1 is easily the worst one. You have no clue what awaits you.

Pretty much what Travo and Vader have said. UC1 is rough as all hell, but stick with it, because the next game is going to be worth it.

Played a little bit of Dark Souls and a little bit of Little Big Planet over the weekend.

Can't wait for Zelda

Well, you can't expect reasonable behavior from a fanbase that gets hard on erotic fanfiction of the furry category.

I'm playing Donkey Kong Country Retro, and God Of War 3. With a few matches of Gears 3 online thrown in for good measure.

I played a few hours of GOW 3 when it 1st came out, but after playing through the enhanced versions of the 1st two games in the PS3 Collection I was burnt out on the series, so I stopped. Picking it back up now it feels really good and looks beautiful. Doesn't seem to be much of an improvement gameplay-wise, but its definitely just as good, for sure.
