There is an HD and normal version here
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=248

It really shows how far the game has come from the N64, though some N64 scenes still hold up well like the Matrix one.

 

[ManaByte]

The game looks better than most Xbox 360 games.

Watch how each side sees this as a pro and a con.

 

[Monk]

You are exaggerating right? Xbox360 looks better albeit not by much... *runs and hides under rock*

 

[ManaByte]

I mean, if they delayed this another few months and just put it on the Xbox 360 as a launch title it'd do better than Kameo.

 

[Monk]

Oh, I thought you mean graphically. ^^;

 

[DDayton]

Ok, I feel like I'm just asking to be treated like the N64 logo, but...

I find myself preferring some of the older artistic elements to some of the newer ones. Especially the grey squirrels... in the N64 game, they look like cute, innocent little guys, off to their doom... in the Xbox version, they look all gruff and battle-weary. The first version of them just seems so much funnier in the context.

 

[OneFiftyOne]

I wonder: will this game actually sell? :lol Looks great to me, but there's no doubt it's not 'mature' enough for the Xbox crowd (It isn't a generic FPS/sports/racing game)...

 

[westical]

I can see how violence and course language woudn't be considered mature.

b3d:
"It will be very interesting to see the performance and quality of graphics it is able to produce once developers have had decent access to development kits based on the final hardware, however we suspect that it won't be until the second generation of XBOX 360 titles before we see developers being able to seriously scratch the surface of understanding the processing capabilities of Xenos and the XBOX 360 as a whole. That being said, though, much of the architecture is transparent to the developer and they shouldn't need to concern themselves much with the types of workloads they are handing to the graphics processor as this will all be handled automatically, and without stalling any part of the pipeline."

So name the xbox 360 games that looks worse than this?

[Templar Wizard]

better than 360 is a VERY stupid comparison.
has anyone REALLY seen a 360 game? no? exactly.

why is this even a point of discusion???

on topic: form the clips i have seen and from playing the demo, im quite disappointed that the game IS the n64 version. has the age of outrage ended?

do people accept gfx ports of old games? why arent you guys ranting about why this 'new' conker game isnt really new???
same with the twin snakes... has the world gone mad?

Its not black and white though.

In this case, its a game that got good critical reviews, but almost nobody played due to the platform and the timing of its release. In some ways you could argue that its allowing people to finally see what all the fuss was about (of course, the world has moved on in all this time, so it may be antiquated rubbish, but I've never played it so I'll reserve judgement)

 

[SteveMeister]

Looks great. I see Conker got his commission -- he's a 2nd LT in the new version of the Storming the Beach level, whereas he was a Corporal in the N64 version.

 

[StRaNgE]

i miss the cute fuzzie teddies in multiplayer capture the flag instead of all these biomech looking crossbreads. hoping that the regular stuffed bears are still a playable charecter.

when is the release date again?
soon right?

 

[akascream]

Lol, I was pretty suprised how well the N64 version held its ground. Especially in the opening sequence with the flickering lights. Xbox version has some pretty low res textures, though Conker himself looks really good. Can't wait to pick up the Xbox version.


Hehe, the N64 version looks bloodier, and the cavewoman boobs bounce better.

 

[u_neek]

The old cartoonish font looked better..

Overall it looks pretty amazing tho...

 

[dark10x]

The game looks quite amazing, no doubt about it. The quality really is close to what we've seen in a lot of early 360 games.

 

[newsguy]

The game looks better than most Xbox 360 games.

no.

 

[Juice]

Graphics aside, the controls in the demo just didn't feel like they held up much to me. I'd been concurrently trying out Conker 64 and I was blaming the controls on a worn down analog stick.

It's almost like Rare is simulating said worn down stick for a more authentic experience, because the analog control was just kinda clunky. *but i'm sure this is just me*

Oh, and LMAO at the guy who said they should put it on 360 day 1. He's right, it'd be the best selling launch title.

 

[dark10x]

no.

Yes!

Perhaps it is more fair to say that this game would not be out of place amongst the 360 library (as we know it).

Just wait until you try it. It looks really impressive in person. I've already done this comparison in person and the difference is more pronounced than you'd think.

I don't think so. I had the same complaint at E3 and thought the controls should have been tightened up.

 

[Bartman3010]

I hope you didnt tell them that, otherwise that'll cause YET ANOTHER DELAY.

 

[AndreasNystrom]

sorry but no matter how good that game is, I wont play a game with that kiddy character!. (yes, im stupid

 

[dorio]

Considering that this is the best looking xbox game, I'm not surprised that it would look as good as 360 games still in development.

 

[Gek54]

Meh, grass and fuzz whoopdyFreakinDoo, I'll just keep my n64 version.

 

[stewy]

What I really notice in that comparison demo is how much dynamic lighting really adds to the game. Especially on the storming the beach bit. Outside of the obviously better graphics, everything just looks so much better when the big explosions light up the whole area.

1st off many people did not play the original.

2nd there is a entirely new multiplayer mode.

 

[CabbageRed]

The WWII scene's graphics are amazing! I wish more games would span across so many wildly different landscapes.

 

[dark10x]

Meh, grass and fuzz whoopdyFreakinDoo, I'll just keep my n64 version.

You say that as if those are the only improvements...

 

[Mashing]

WHy does Conker always come out at the end of a consoles life-cycle?

 

[Gahiggidy]

Conker 64 looks a heck of alot more impressive for a last gen. N64 game than its counterpart does for a last gen. Xbox game. I'll bet most people expected most of the 1st generation PS2/GCN/XBX games to look that good.

People expected first gen games to look as good as what now? The XBOX version of Conker?

What?

1st gen PS2/GCN/XBX look as good as Conker 64 or as good as Conker Xbox?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Possession.

Possession.

:lol :lol :lol

Game looks beyond awful.

 

[StRaNgE]

is this a joke post?

 

[Gek54]

Conker is a bigger bad ass than most M rated lead characters.

 

[Solid]

looks great and all but nah.. i'll wait for da drop. i'm not willing to pay more than £15 for this, with all the delays taken in to account.

 

[tedtropy]

WHy does Conker always come out at the end of a consoles life-cycle?

Because Rare loves teh irony.

How many games did they release on the N64 alone? How many games did they squeeze out this gen?

They did Donkey Kong 64 as well, didn't they?

Man, what happened? Most of those N64 titles were great games as well. Both SFA and Grabbed by the Ghoulies were mediocre at best.

 

[border]

Looks better than Top Spin 2, DOA4, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland 360, Perfect Dark Zero.

Nintendo forseen their decadence and got rid of them lol. Best Nintendo move since the N64 era, there i said it.

The first version of them just seems so much funnier in the context.

I preferred the jittery wide eyed squirrels to the grizzled looking ones too. I think they should have given different facial features to a few of the squirrels.

 

[Gek54]

Even the gargoyle is funnier in the N64 version.
