Call me crazy, but I think your Driveclub screen looks better as a jpeg. The JPEG hides/fixes a lot of the aliasing/shimmering.

In fact, a lot of the best looking games available were released during the launch window: Ryse, Killzone and inFamous. Since 14/02, we only had The Order, Batman, and maybe one or two games I've forgotten the name...

Is it a cloud or the PNG has more contrast and colours than JPEG ?

+ Ethan Carter + Until Dawn
Yes, sometimes I have the feeling that at the beginning of a generation developers don't know what is the level of the other games so they work very hard on graphics. And after they realize they don't have to be that good to be as the others.

Witcher 3 is the only other looker I can think of. Everything else has been average in comparison.[Call-Me-G];177327758 said:
Edit: Driveclub, duh.

yep. basically there's no difference between gameplay and photo mode in terms of visuals. In photo mode you can adjust depth of field, add some color filters and that's it. AA, level of details, etc. all the same. This is why Infamous Second Son still impressive to me.
PNG is a lossless compression format meaning it should represent the game much more accurately than even the highest quality jpeg. It's even possible to make animated PNGs (like gifs) but it's pretty uncommon.
I don't see how when the JPG has more compression/bit blurrier.Call me crazy, but I think your Driveclub screen looks better as a jpeg. The JPEG hides/fixes a lot of the aliasing/shimmering.

Yep, I noticed that as PNG looks much more clear.

Also noticed the hill in the distance has more detail in the PNG pic.

OMG it's so nice to see these without the shitty artefacts. Darker screenshots usually look like ass because of it but now they look so clean.
When is the 3.0 coming out for real? Can I join the beta somehow? I WANT IT

I used inFAMOUS FL for this because photo mode let you get a perfectly matched still-frame.
This is where you realise (if you didn't already know) most capture cards can't capture perfect lossless 4:4:4 frames.<< animated PNG, not supported on all browsers
So happy I'm no longer tempted to get an Intensity Pro 4K. Cheaper cards/boxes are fine if you're mostly uploading lossy video.
Really easy to see the differences when looking at things that are red/purple such as the arch in Driveclub and the hair on the character in the second game. Haven't had a chance to test the PNG stuff myself yet but it's looking very promising.

Hehe saves you couple hundred bucks. Still it must be said that capture cards like that one are in a whole different league. You get all the benefits of having a perfect lossless capture together with frame by frame control instead of guessing and hoping you had the right timing.
I miss my Elgato HD60 thanks to the frame by frame control, but then I remember how horrible it compressed the images.
It's good to see Sony jumping in on the higher quality captures.
Three screens per post
Very nice shot, love the colour against the darkness of the night.

Nope.
Damn. Guess I'll find a new host.
Err, I can see them.

Hmm, must be me then. I've noticed that same broken image symbol a few times on GAF over the past few days. You guys have any idea how I can fix it? I'm using Chrome.
Don't they appear even after pressing CTRL+F5?

Pretty good comparison. The black on the helicopter door shows a huge upgrade in quality
