Splinter Cell 3... No wonder it won most impressive graphics in E3

Metalmurphy · September 14th, 2004

All i can say is... THE HELL WITH DOOM 3. Just look at this

.

And the game has awsome co-op mode. Im sure this one is gonna be a real keeper!

Pixel Shader Model rev. 3.0.

Well I guess it is good for the x-box. I certainly hope it looks a hell of alot better on the pc

grahf · September 15th, 2004

I don't see anything new or advance in the graphics. The shadows are not as good as d3, the texture are low res, and models are not even detail. If this game is anything like the other two than the environment must not be very big either. I'm sorry but there's no way this game can win most impressive graphics at e3.

Mr.Smith · September 15th, 2004

I think the game looks pretty good. I can't wait to see it on PC because it will undoubtly look much better than the XBOX counterpart.

caipirinha · September 16th, 2004

d3 shadows aren't exactly top-notch (hate me) , textures are a little above psx/2 level, and the models are the worst I've seen in a lot of time.

sc3 IS everything ppl say about it. not as big as the doom 3 engine but it does look damn good.

and in the coolness factor sam fischer OWNS generic marine guy, just look at that suit shining with the rain!!!!

btw guys, only the first 3 shots are for the Xbox. Other ones are from the PC port.

Hum werent u saying that SC3 had worst models ever? 0o i understood it that way :P

**Raziel** · September 16th, 2004

IMO, it's far from looking as good as Doom3, just the AK47 texture on the 2nd shot looks PSOne-ish.

Hmm... Honestly im looking forward to the multiplayer. If it even has it, I hope it was as good (gameplay wise) as PT.

Rhombus · September 17th, 2004

For me, dynamic lighting and good shadowing are probably more important than anything else when I decide how good something looks... I'm just really into that aspect of graphics. That's why I've always loved the look of the Splinter Cell games, and why to me they "look better" than a game which might have better models or textures or more realistic physics or whatever. It's a main reason why I also really liked the graphical look of all the Thief games (the latest one in particular looks awesome) as well as titles which alot of people didn't think were all that impressive, like Blade of Darkness from a few years ago (had awesome dynamic lighting effects for the time).

Xboxish u mean. those first 3 are from xbox. Plus this is a work in progress, and still ur comparing the weapon to doom3? Doom 3 has the worst freaking weapon model/textures i've seen. Even farcry beats it. ^^

Coolsvilleman · September 17th, 2004

Well I say graphics are definetly high end for the pc part. But they are not award winning high-end. As for multiplayer, I doubt they would be able to do a good job in it. Cause its not a FPS really so they would only be able to allow maybe 2-4 players in it on two different teams otherwise everyone would just camp in a shadow waiting for someone to walk by. Kinda like pandora tommorow multiplayer which had its good points but overall was not to fun.
