I believe all three are in-engine, as that third one of Lightning is the shot of her over the ship (which is the same one as seen in real-time manipulation on you-tube). That doesn't help with my point though. The apparent detail in the story shot is WAY beyond anything we have seen so far. It is that reason I am skeptical.
Uh, I do find it hard to believe that is really in-game. I know those shots Crimson Wolf is using are in-game, but these...
What are they basing the claim on? Is there something in the Japanese article that says this one is in-fact real-time??
OMG!!! You mean to tell me 2 Days 2 Vegas ISN'T vaporware!!!! I was nearly certain that that game would never see the light of day. WoW.
BTW: nice job including Wardevil in the list, I'm fairly sure most gamers have totally forgotten about that one..I can't wait to see the TGS 07 trailer.
This, along with Project Offset and Dark Sector were the first games revealed for "next-gen" all in 2004+ The weapon and environment renders are indeed previously unseen I believe, but to those who think this is not anywhere near representative, these two shots here are both from an E3 06' real-time PS3 tech-demo..
Note: the weapon is the same as the render, although not quite as detailed.
Prologue IS partially ray-traced. The scenes with the pit-crew use real-time ray-tracing, maybe the car selection portions too, not sure on that one though.
edit:
Ahh thanx for the correction Jolly.
Amen to that!!
I didn't mind the first 10 or so articles as hell, the format I chose to invest in is the winner! But seriously, there have now been somewhere between 50-100 Articles hammering this home since the fateful Jan 4th announcement. Can we abstain until at least there is true NEWS regarding this stuff and not just post 1 flamewar opinion piece after another?? Thanks.
Yeah, sort of....More like a PC with no major system hog OS or extraneous apps to run. While it is an interesting idea, I do think that the cons outweigh the pros..plus I think there are just too may variables to account for that, it would get really messy.
Maybe the 1 console future would be viable if true photo real graphical capability existed. In this hypothetical scenario, one company really could no longer 1-up another one due to the tech reaching a true common denomi...
It definitely looks to be the first FF to be set in near present day tech--with magic of course. I think that's part of what makes it look a bit like the FF VII world although that was a little more steampunk-ish.
Also the cinematic art direction is really similar to the crazy fast-pace of AC. I agree with you btw, I'm now looking more forwards to this over the "regular" FF: XIII, lol!
Yeah, I mean all we have seen so far have been CG cinematics...it would be super awesome to start seeing the in-engine stuff for Versus!!
I thought she was spam at first too, but I believe that she is likely legit..The resistance 2 story she had all the specific details before anyone had posted that the story would break in the the new Game Informer. Also from this link

she posts several predictions that are not googleable:
mark Ecco/ Human Head partnership?? unnanounc...
Insomniac don't use bullshot. This should be evident after seeing both Resistance One development and Ratchet Tools of Destruction from first screen to completion. I remember many people claiming BS on most of the Ratchet PS3 stuff. They only shut up when the game came out and Surprise!! it did look that good. Have faith, if anything this is gonna look even better in motion!
Wait a sec, is that bottom right pic of Versus Real-time??? It doesn't look quite as good as the other obvious CG's....
Hey, its no BBC, still its about a BILLION times more credible than anything on FOX.
I know, right? Where is my Transformers on BR? (It was to be my very first Blu-ray movie, b4 Paramount defected). I can't wait!!!!
Dear Lord. I've played GeOW. I know what you are saying. Did you actually bother to read my caveat. I said that the "realtime" is dev-kit. We haven't actually seen the game on PS3 yet. However, judging from MGS4 footage, it is safe to say it will look close to as good as these dev-kit images. The CG is obviously CG.
Gold star for Bathyj, LOL
Wrong, some is indeed real-time. However, it may not quite be representative of what the final game running on PS3 will be--ala MGS4 tech demo vs what the game looks like on the actual PS3 (slight downgrade).
Did people catch this part of the description--Partially randomized geometry... levels are different with each playthrough. This has got to be a first in gaming.
Uh, that article was seriously lacking. Pioneer plasma=TV of the future...are they retarded??? Now, I've not yet seen OLED TV's in the flesh, but I understand that they are SO much more impressive that they will eventually outright crush lcd and plasma due to sheer versatility (flexible) and specs (better).
Uh, Offset is indeed PC/ 360
