The Outsider Screens and Info

Xbox360News.com | Link to this article

Frontier Developments Ltd. ('Frontier'), the leading independent games developer, today released more screenshots from its major game for PS3 and Xbox 360 - "The Outsider".

These in-game screenshots of early morning scenes show how Frontier's engine can use lighting to great effect, showing optical scattering and various film grain/emulsion effects. They are taken from an early game location which will be shown 'behind closed doors' at the forthcoming E3 trade show in Los Angeles.

Frontier re-emphasises its position that cutting edge graphics are merely the starting point, they do not make a true 'next generation' game. Consequently Frontier has also been focussing on new game-play elements that are now possible on the new console platforms - Frontier's aim with "The Outsider" is to bring the sort of freedom of action first seen in "Elite" bang up to date.

"The Outsider" is a gripping, high-tech thriller which radically enriches the player's experience by abandoning the traditional, prescriptive, mostly linear story of current generation games, and replaces it by simulating characters' motivations and aims. This gives the player genuine freedom to change the story outcomes in a way that has not been seen before - each player will get a truly unique, sophisticated, visceral experience rather than simply switching between 'good' or 'evil'. The techniques used are enabled by the greatly increased processing power available on new machines, including the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Frontier is based on the prestigious Cambridge Science Park and is continuing its sustained growth - it currently has a number of vacancies on several unannounced exciting projects as well as 'The Outsider' for 3D modellers, animators, concept artists, game designers, engine technology programmers and game programmers, and is keen to hear now from top quality applicants who can contribute to the future of games at both senior and less experienced levels who are either already experienced in or new to the games industry.

Now that has High Def written all over it with crisp, clear images giving true depth perception.

Sorry Wii-nus fanboys, you can't feel this!

LOL sorry Nintendo fans, but I really don’t think the Wii-nus has what it takes for next gen. It’s almost laughable in a sad kind of way. I’ve read all of the Wii-nus fanboys arguments for over a year now but my opinion remains the same. The only thing I would be impressed with on Wii-nus is the 3d holographic display, if it’s true. but even then, for the price and Nintendo’s name, it would still be a cheap, underpowered, low quality, mickey mouse toy.... Which is perfect for kid's standards.

14 - BLU-RAY DISC DELAYED YET AGAIN
Unregistered - REDMOND BOYZ 05.04.2006 18:57
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced today it has postponed the release of the first Blu-ray Disc movies until June to coincide with the launch of the first commercially available Blu-ray Disc player.

SPHE President Benjamin Feingold said the studio's Blu-ray Disc launch lineup will be ready on May 23 but hardware manufacturers have requested to move the release date to coincide with the the launch of the first Blu-ray Disc players.Give up already [*_*]?????!!!!


15 - SURVEY FINDS 20% OF COMSUMERS INTERESTED IN NEW FORMATS
Unregistered - ISLANDER 05.04.2006 19:53
At next week's E3 Sony will parade its PlayStation 3 around like a proud father. Cigars won't be passed out, but Sony will be banking heavily on interest in next-gen DVDs to drive consumers to its PS3 this fall. That's the way it worked for the electronics developer with the PS2, but when the PS2 was released consumers were tired of their busted-ass VHS cassette tapes and steadily degrading picture quality.
Are consumers ready to wrist-flick their DVDs out of windows in preparation for the "war" between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? A story in Reuters certainly doesn't seem too optimistic. The article cites a Peerflix Inc. (a DVD trading company) survey found that 20% of consumers planned to buy a next-gen DVD player or a next-gen disc this year.

In related "format war" news, Sony has delayedBlu-Ray disc shipments to June 20, which, in theory would allow HD-DVD to further penetrate the virtually nonexistent market. The article speculates that if Microsoft announces a $200 HD-DVD add on at E3 that it could potentially lure consumers to using the new disc media. Will they unveil an HD-DVD attachment at E3 for their Xbox 360? More appropriately, does anyone care about next-gen DVDs yet? Some answers will come from E3, for the rest though, you have to wait.


IM ONE OF THE OTHER 80% SO I DON,T CARE THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT: KUDOS FOR MS LOOKING OUT: SHAME ON SONY FOR USING FORMATS FOR A PATHETIC GIMMIC.

26 - NEVER TRUST GRAPHIS
Unregistered - jo 05.05.2006 02:57
looking at black as an example of how good graphics dont make a game

saying your going to buy a game after seeing a few screen shots is sad, you should be ashamed to call your self a gamer


27 - Zip it #26
Spunkmeyer43 05.05.2006 03:43
Why do you people insist on being such fudge packers! If some one wishes to buy a game based on graphics so what! It doesn't harm you, nothing derogatory was said, and I’m sure if at a latter date reviews and previews reveal this game to be a pile of steaming excrement then the likes of #25 wont buy it! In actuality though whilst graphics certainly don't make a game in these early stages of next gen development they are really what most people are focusing on!

I'd also like to pass comment on your last paragraph, I believe people who use the word sad to be in the same league as whale sperm, I also think it is you who should be ashamed of yourself for clearly being a jizz piglet with nothing better to do! Whilst the naive amongst you may say the same of me I see my self as a crusader, apposing the tyranny, despotism and oppression forced upon the masses by people like #26 who use words like sad, noob and sux!

Right to the matter in hand, the game looks great, in all honesty the quality of graphics of up and coming titles means i am less and less amazed by the quality but keep up the good work!

Also Whilst graphics don't make the game, they are a good stating block!!!

I havent seen a crappy game that had Good graphics since...Well, Brute Force. Think about it, if you were to make such a game, which with those graphics probably took for frickin ever, then the people working on it would most likely make damb sure that their game was kick-ass. I believe Bungie is the company responsible for killing retarded crappy games especially after Halo: Combat evolved and the Myth series.

Who are you kidding? I hate people like you. You're an idiot. #26 is right. Screenshots mean nothing! And your ridiculous name calling and big words (whilst) are a perfect example of your immaturity. You are simply trying to compensate for the fact that you are a tremendous geek. A cheesy forum like this is the only place you can voice your stupid opinion without having your Harry Potter glasses slapped off your face. When you can post something intellegent and worth while we may listen to you. Until then, shut up and grow up - and get laid while you're at it.


33 - To #32!!!!!
Spunkmeyer43 05.08.2006 15:19
You are welcome to hate me. Approval is not what i was looking for...

I am not going to get into an arguement about defending myself against your comments about my glasses and being a tremendous geek because it would simply make me look as pathetic as you. I simply felt the need to be abusive and i was...

Oh and and you put "When you can post something intellegent and worth while we may listen to you" who is we, i only see you having a problem with my post. Well "dude" i am off... haha
