Needs reflection mapping on MC helmet.

It looks like painted plastic... I guess its because this one was made in japan :lol: j/k maybe it has something to do with her being a girl and MC's is to heavy. Other than that it looks just like MC and this looks like a halo fighitng game when its two spartans on the Halo level!

Definitely not. Team Ninja has never been known for true to life "mathematical" effects like cube/spherical reflexion mapping.OG_Original Gamer said:
TN usually takes a lot of shortcuts to achieve the visual level they want to. With Xbox I had no problem with this, but on Xbox 360 it's much more difficult for me to accept the awful shadowing/lighting system for example.
I gotta be honest. I completely forgot this was for the 360 when I was looking at the screen shots.impirius said:floor texture
Here's hoping Team Ninja can figure out how to push the 360 to its limits... right now, DOA4 basically looks like a high-def version of their Xbox efforts with some motion blur thrown in. That's more praise for what they did on the Xbox than a knock on their current effort.

Really? Minus some like special effects like normal mapping and reflections it looks great even for HALO 3. Can you imagine what the game worlds would look like? Organic environments with wonderful weather effects. Real time lighting, the ability to stage a REAL war against thousands upon thousand enemies?GhaleonEB said:
If Halo 3 were announced today, and the MC model looks like this, it would be carange. It looks good - but NOT next gen.

I don't undesrtand, master chief with boobs? what's next? a male samus on soul calibur?
also, I've read that this is suposedly cannon for both series, what happened to the unwritten rule of never taking the storyline in fighting games seriously?

Are there any other Japanese devs that have this problem?

It's a female Spartan, not the femal Master Chief. The extended universe in the books has several female Spartans, so it's not a stretch.
Frankie did mention in a recent update that Bungie wrote the background story for the tie-in, but also said it would be 'tongue-in-cheek". I suspect is will be quasi-cannon ala the I Love Bees saga.

Initially I agreed with you, but after taking a closer look at the second Ryu model there are some things that are just textures on the Xbox Model that are actually rednered on the 360 DOA4. Might be better to compare shots showing the same side of Ryu.

EDIT: Better comparison
Wow the second screen looks much better and thats a FULL game on xbox1 and the other is a FIGHTING game on 360... look at ryus arms in the first screen they look like clay on xbox they have veins and everything! plus the spartans visor has like no reflectiong ryu should be on there if this is NEXT GEN after how good xbox looked...

So the DOA Spartan model is pratically fully modeled with all it's nook and crannies and the Xbox version is normal mapped. If their engine supported heavier use of normal maps, it would be the best of both worlds.
DrDogg said:
Better comparison maybe?
It looks better, but you really have to kinda look. There should be a larger leap than this IMO.
The only reason I knew which picture was the Xbox version was because someone used the same shot in an earlier comparision. They look nearly identical at a glance. I for one have never been amazed Team Ninja DOA offering for the 360. It seems like a port and I doubt we'll see their talents utilized until the next offering. I think this was rushed.
After scrutiny, the new Ryu model does look better.
BARELY
Really, should we even be debating which one is better? Why do we have to look for parts on the new one which is more detailed and bumpy? It should just jump out and scream 'next gen am here' and it sure doesn't.
The MC model is clearly using lots more polygons, but the overall effect is not better, IMO. Just different. Might look better in motion, tho.
Oh, and the most important part of the update is:
Wait for the final build! (the new Beta Kits!)

This seriously has me thinking we may see other Spartans fighting alongside the Master Chief in Halo 3.
What does he mean? They are going to have more to tell us, but they don't? When are they going to tell us?
Well, if he's going to play through Halo one again, it should have a great update in graphics, because as it is, it looks really bad on a HDTV, so there's a good sign right there

Im hoping itll be playable in 720p atleast, that for me will make me play it again in the future. Hopefully my PAL 360 will let me play the US version as the PAL game feels horribly slow in comparason.
The only thing that doesn't look good on the new Ryu model is the skin. I have no problem with the rest of him. What else exactly are they going to do to make him look way better? You guys are bitching not because it looks really bad but because the xbox ninja gaiden looks so incredibly good. The only thing the new model needs is better skin. Other than that just better lighting to make the whole thing overall look a lot better.
I guess that'll help it sell with Xbox 360 owners this year, but I don't see a reason this should really have to send this game over the top. But my Xbox-wielding friend is incredibly excited over the inclusion of the Spartan if that's any indication of how this will play with Xbox loyalists.

The problem with this game's graphics I think have to do with what team ninja is, and always has been, good at. Lots of polygons. Team Ninja's games last gen threw around shit tons of polygons, and thats what made them stand out. There was little else spectacular about the graphics, technically. This gen that doesn't count for as much. It's more about the effects now, and that is something that Team Ninja really has never been that good at.

Well, I fucking hate Team Ninja, but I'm a Bungie fanatic. I admit this does excite me, but the (IMHO) poor model and the fact that it's, you know, a DOA game, means I'm stayiing far away. If I were even remotely interested in a DOA game, this would lock me in solid. I can see how this would excite a good chunk of XBots, ala Zelda in SCII.
