Xbox 360 High-Def Footage

by Steve Gibson, May 16, 2005 9:59pm PDT

Related Topics – xbox, xbox 360, Trailer

The FileShack HD footage has begun! As we upload new titles they will be added to this list below! We're of course doing the HD footage for the Mercury members to start out but we'll be adding the slightly lower resolution videos (with an HD sample) for everyone else later on in the night. But hey we're hoping you guys sign up and support us doing cool stuff. You can expect more footage every day of the show but for now enjoy the Xbox 360 helping! Dont worry we've got Playstation3 stuff coming too... and of course PC games!

- HD or Lowres Gears of War (holy crap!) - HD or Lowres Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion - HD or Lowres Project Gotham Racing 3 - HD or Lowres Lost Odyssey - HD or Lowres Ghost Recon 3 - HD or Lowres Kameo - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #1 (Includes Quake4!) - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #2 - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #3 (includes Perfect Dark Zero!) - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage EA Games - HD or Lowres Call of Duty 2 - HD or Lowres Dead or Alive 4 - HD or Lowres Need for Speed : Most Wanted - HD or Lowres NBA2K6

Oh and for the two most common questions:

- PS3 HI DEF coming too! - PC as well!

What the hell, are people actually taking flash photographs of the screen during the Gear of War video? HAHAHA, DIPSHITS!

It's worth noting that I couldn't tell what those flashes were in the low-res version, but the HD version really made the shadows cast by the crowd on the screen that much clearer. *laugh* Great technology we got here, folks.

WTH do most of these games use the ultra fuzzy HRD effect? you'd think that when a console finally got a good quality display they would want to use it's cripsness, instead it looks like an out of focus camera 50% of the time. any ideas?

Awesome footage, superb work. $4.95 well spent (sign up now you cheap bastards).

Plays great in mplayer too, just turn on framedropping (d) so the sound doesn't get out of sync. These files should really be batched at the end of the day, zipped up so you can just download a big bundle instead of a million files.

Lost Odyssey looks hot.

So - that madden footage... it looks like what we have already seen, right?

But what in the fuck are we seeing? If its in game, then what the hell kind of camera work is that? If its what you see when you are loading the game, then who cares? Is it an instant replay? If so then again who cares? I don't like seeing footage of this type no sir I don't. At least this time when I watched it, I saw NOC footage in a very high quality mode.

Why pooh-pooh on it? Because its Madden? Because its EA? Because I like to pooh-pooh on things? No. Honestly, we get a lot of crap for "SHACKHYPE" around here. E3 is the HYPE machine. So why not pickle the great footage, the moblogs, and the reports of all the hot shit with some genuine questions?
