Good. I hope they don't, would like to be surprised... though I expect
ice to be one of them.

Was never a fan of the first two but with Cole out and these insane graphics I am ready to play it again.
Day one.
Day one.

You know, I look at these graphics and wonder:
Since the newest hardware is more like PC hardware and is easier to work with and therefore in turn more simpler to harness the power of, does that mean we will see current hardware be maximized much sooner?
Look at PS3 and Last of Us, they were still pulling out more juice out of that system in its 7th year.
I don't think we'll see that with PS4.
I'l bet the system will be fully tapped by its 3rd or 4th year tops.

I always believed this, but I think "maxing out" th system will be different for each developer....there will always be little things to find and optimize

Yeah, but I am willing to bet there will be a lot more diminishing returns here.
I doubt, for instance, Naughty Dog will be able to unleash as much power on this system over the years as they did last generation.
It won't happen. It's not a matter of tapping the hardware but finding alternative ways to use less resources and optimizing the tools, it's just that this time there's not a ridiculously complex starting point.
Same. Either I'll be pleasantly surprised that inFamous has finally "clicked" with me, or I'll end up giving up on it 2/3 of the way through like I did with the first two games, kicking myself for not knowing better.

Sooner than if it was more complex hardware? Probably, but it also means they won't waste time working around bottlenecks (Cells complexity, mediocre GPU, low RAM)
Imagine if we could have gotten TLOU graphics in the "3rd or 4th" years of the PS3.

Yeah, but its like that on all systems.
I still believe they will find more of these alternatives earlier on and be left struggling to tap more power and optimize further as times goes on.
I mean, logically speaking if you are able gain greater efficiency and pull greater performance from the system earlier on, there has to be less potential you can exploit later.
You have to admit, the potential of the system is not limitless. There is only so far the hardware can be realized.
Not sure about ice,got to be something in the environment.
I know they said no water powers ,maybe earth?

Oh don't get me wrong!
I didn't say it was a bad thing.
Having better graphics sooner has its benefits too! Which is why I am really curious to see what ND can do with the hardware on its first time out.
I am expecting a title that will really blow us away, even more then the original Uncharted did.

Why are you painting earlier optimisation as a negative thing? The roof being hit sooner is not a bad thing.
Edit: You answered whilst I was typing...
Man, they really nailed a great atmospheric look for this game. Pretty much exactly how I wanted infamous to look from the start.

Well we've seen the DUP use concrete powers... I suspect we'll get them - and they'll act much like ice.
GPGPU and HSA features will add a lot to games over time. HSA will especially allow for much greater efficiency use of both CPU and GPU and the 32 ACEs for GPU compute will give the system a lot of flexibility. I don't think it'll be as sudden of an increase as the PS3 had once 2009 hit but the improvements will be steady and many.
Speaking of that its good to see regular enemies with powers.

Don't be so quick to presume that you've seen the depth of my not caring about the authenticity of a location in the game. In no way did I mispeak. You presume you'd already seen the net zero sum of my caring, but oh boy, just watch how little I will care when pushed!
People need to stop jumping on this particular thing with assumption that they're correcting someone
Yeah that's true, I used 'powers' as a shorthand for 'some substantial information to do with the actual game beyond redundant fetishism of a place that 99% of the potential customer base has neither been to nor logically shares the same over indulgence for'. 90% of their media produced for public consumption since the second trailer might as well have been paid for by the Seattle tourism board. Few people care guys.
PSnation said what they are playing today is pretty much the final build

They ruled out water powers?
Water powers in Seattle? You'd have infinite power and break the game!
I'm sure the real reason is that they still want to gate you to environments using water, so powers need to be something that water will kill you.
Is that a mural of gum on the wall?
Yes.
They ruled out water powers?
I wouldn't be too disappointed, they just want to try and experiment with other powers. Smoke power is relatively unique and is also partly fire too, so maybe something similar will be done with water?

I never quite understand people who complain about a game sequel or prequel being like previous games. What do you expect? Cod is just another COD, Battlefield is just another Battlefield, Thief is another thief, Uncharted is another uncharted, Sim city is another Sim city. Diablo is another Diablo. If it was something different surely it would have a different name right!?
Fuck.. this game is gonna blow minds. March can't come soon enough.
Anyone else gonna wear the included beanie while playing?

Whatever the powers upgrades are, I hope we get some good chaining going on.
I really liked Cole's electric powers due to zapping baddies standing in water, which would affect everyone in the near area in water, or when they are standing on something metal, like a cage, zap the cage watch them do the shocking dance or between each other.
And I am curious to see what the overpowers are, like Cole's Ion Storm.

Thats both cool that they did it and a bit disgusting that hes touching it.
Yeah, it's a big tourist spot on the bay. You go to Pike Place market, and there's an alleyway completely covered in gum.
