Retribution. An only partly funded game using the reality engine.
It just looks awesome.

Corruption, murder, betrayal, conspiracy...and that's just the opening sequence.

As a 12 year old boy you watch your father (a navy 'Criminal Investigation Division' officer) and mother murdered. Growing up a juvenile deliquent you finally get released to freedom at age 18. Mayhem, revenge and retribution are on the cards as you set about avenging your parents the only way you know how.

Hire and train a crew or go it alone...take on a marine corps camp, drug lords' compound, kidnap an influential figure, assassinate a target for money. Build wealth and influence, mass an arsenal, command ships, all in the name of Retribution.

Retribution uses Artificial Studio's advanced game engine – Reality. It is a FPS or 3rd person shooter (your choice) with a movie like script. A large variety of photo realistic scenes to explore as you work your way through the game ensure that you never feel the game is repetitive. Featuring open play which enables you to hire and improve your crew members and their abilities, build an arsenal of weapons, acquire a range of equipment, and complete numerous mercenary tasks for cash. Attempt the main storyline missions at your leisure.

Cheers,
Thierry
 
Sounds good but well until i see some gameplay im not won over
 
We are using the latest game technologies and have secured a licensing agreement for the state of the art engine "Reality" developed by Artificial Studios.
 
It looks ok I guess, didn't seem to look all that great though tbh. Stalker looks nicer right now.
 
Looks very good. Their site http://www.deadlyretribution.com/

But i cant stand it when people start to compare 2005-2006 games to hl2, doom 3 which are 2004 games.

Opps EDIT::

Release Date: 2007

gg comparing hl2's gfx to this games.

Do you have any idea how much better it will look by the time it will come out? Remember hl2 in 2003 and that was just 1 year. This is 2 years away.

Ack... thats too bad. Unreal 3 will probably be out in 2006, and it looks 5x better than this U253 stuff...

Yeah, it looked the same, if not better in the old screenshots.
:rolling:

We got 1 smart kid here. :(

The developers who made unreal 3.0 engine wont have their game out till 2006. Other games useing that engine might be out earlier.
 
Not to mention that the way in which U3 engine works is absolutly brilliant and will look better and run at a higher FPS than most of the new engines comming out.

Time will tell...First half of 2006 the new game of crytek is going to be released, we will see who will be the new king.
 
Woah, who would have guess eh? Games of 2006/2007 looking better than 2004 games. My, what a huge surprise.

Reality engine is pretty good with stuff like per-pixel occlusion, and realtime radiosity (something which finally closes the gap between lightmaps and dynamic lighting). Most stuff I've seen from UE3 could have been done with the Doom 3 engine.

Topicstarter. I mean, it's pretty obvious a game of the future is gonna look better than current games.

and you got this info from where?

Oh, Cevat Yerli the creative director of crytek stated this info on giga-games (German gaming show on NBC). If I find something contollable I will post it...
 
I remember watching those last year :D I think the gameplay one is new from last year, and the player model in Retribution needs to use low tints of glossiness instead of specular mapping!!! Specular mapping creates plasticy look on humans! :(
 
Looks like a cross between Far Cry and Stalker. Which automatically means it looks worse than HL2 and Doom 3 (Far Cry), but has nicer foliage (Stalker).
 
That last screenshot looks exactly like Far Cry, well..with updated graphics.

If you keept the detail to scale, sure, you could do it in Doom 3... at 1/2 the framerate.
 
Just because you see grass, hills, trees, water doesnt mean it looks like farcry. I love how when a game comes out with generally a 1st ever look. Every game after it ether looks like it or rips it off.
 
Found this piece of info in their forum.

The bottom end cards we are going to support will actually be the ATI X800 and NVidia 6800. The reason for this is the number of texture stages supported by these cards allow us to produce what you see in those screen shots. Any cards released prior have too few texture stages. However, in two and a half years, they will of course be low end cards.
 
Interesting, but not superb. Looks like FarCry somewhat, although lighting effects seem to be nice. However, if this comes out in 2007, then no way it's good graphics. A game that comes out in 2007 should have graphics superior to both HL2 and Doom3. Can't wait to see what will Quake 4 look like on the Doom3 engine with big outdoor environments, or what will the next game on Source look like, or anything on Unreal3 engine.
 
Some spots of the graphics look better than FarCry but it has nothing on FarCry in the grass department by the looks of it. Doom3 looks better than both still. HL2 just looks more real but alot blander.

STALKER just looks better than all 4 of them twice over.
