Yeah, it doesn't look the best. Runs great though.

Replayed this to unwind. Still beautiful.
Those last gen roots shining through.
I'm sure it's an amazing game despite the graphics, but does anyone know if MGSV is going to look better than this?

I know very little about infamous, but i would say to me it is the most impressive next gen game released so far, the lightning and textures look very nice

I know there's already a ton of Wind Waker screens and I wasn't expecting to add any myself but I just started it a while ago and it's gorgeous. I'm not even adding a terribly impressive shot but seeing the Forsaken Fortress looking so beautifully clean and cartoony in the background stood out to me just now, I just wish I could share how great it looks in motion. I really am enjoying this update more than I expected.
Wind Waker looks insane in person at its native 1080p. If only we could capture it at 1080p... Still, looks amazing, as seen in this Flickr set of shots by myself and others here (six pages and counting)!
You mean Phantom Pain? That's the one they showed last E3, and it doesn't really look any better than GZ, you can see the same flaws in its screenshots: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_e3_mgs5_images-14208_en.html
Seriously? These shots look much better than GZ.
Where are the flaws?

Some guy is arguing with me on another forum, saying MGS GZ is just about using all of the PS4's power and is a truly next gen title... :/
A few more from me. This game would sell well if they get it out in the next 6 months locally. Don't even need English voices either (that'd ruin it) just English text/captions and it's ready.

Yeeeaah. That's the one. I haven't been following Metal Gears too closely I guess.
Aliasing Aliasing everywhere. It does seem to look a bit better though.

Really impressed with how this looks considering tis just an uprez port. Looks great.

Wow, you know that opinions exist right?
Most salty post in this thread.
I think Infamous SS looks great, but some folks are exaggerating, I think it is the best looking console open world game, but yeah the Sleeping Dogs comparison I think is fair, it is not doing something not seen before. What I think gets a lot of attention are the particle effects, it is a particle effects galore, really cool how it all looks, pretty IQ too.
It is a shame because I have the original Infamous and I played for a while but was bored so never touch it again, I hope this one reviews well because I am not excited ATM.
And you sir, clearly have not played DKC TF.
You can see the exact same dithering (likely due to their AA) in hair and foliage. I think the environment is just more visually interesting.

What would you say SD does better than Infamous though? I would contend in terms of visuals, Infamous has it beat in pretty much every category. Character models for instance are streets ahead, modelling and lighting are also better.

Interesting, thanks for sharing your opinion. Been gaming since the 8-bit era hate every Mario and Donkey Kong game (mostly played Contra and Capcom brawlers and fighters) that existed, so yeah wouldn't touch one of those games even if you paid me too.
But from the screenshots DKC:TF about as good as LBP2, Puppeteer, etc. (Don't care about how any of them play, never cared much for platformers and this is a screenshot thread)

Yes, I am talking about graphics for DKC TF, screens look very nice IMO but looking at the game in motion is another story, Retro did an amazing job. I have Trine 2 and while that looks nice there is no comparison to DKC TF.
The big thing is that Sleeping Dogs has a very beautiful, well realized city, but it's purely horizontal. Meaning you are on foot and driving around at street level the entire time. Infamous has a city that looks as good as that, but you can move vertically in a matter of seconds from street level to the top of skycrapers, flying above buildings, with no hitch in performance, at any time you want. Again, the point of scale and scope is important context in these comparisons. Obviously PC Sleeping Dogs has it beat (based on hardware) in regards to resolution, performance and IQ, but that's an obvious point that isn't really ever worth bringing up unless comparing the exact same game on console/PC.

Lets just agree to disagree, you opine that Infamous: SS looks unremarkable. I do not see how DKC:TF looks better than PS3 games like LBP2,Puppeteer, etc. or Wind Waker HD looks better than PS3 up-ports like Okami HD (game is rendered internally at 4K and super-sampled to full HD)

Again, be careful, I did not say Infamous SS looks unremarkable, I actually did say that it is the best looking console open world game atm. But I will leave it there.

Beautiful game. Every time I see screens from the Share Button though, I wonder what Sony is thinking, having yet to update the compression options.
I mean, it's free marketing for the games if the screens don't look all compressed.

You hate SM64, Super Mario World, Galaxy and SM3D World???
Wow, you're entitled to your opinion but I think this is the first I've ever heard anyone say this. I mean, hate means you think they are pieces of fucking shit right????
Yeah, really shit. First to download to FB and then to your computer and from there to some picture site with shitty quality.
Everyone who owns this game, needs to play "Castle Rock" area. I was wtf when I first saw this CR area, awesome.

Posting on this thread
. Started off on the wrong foot, not much of an artistic guy and am easily impressed by the shoot-bang. So frankly speaking I cannot see the good in DKC:TF, though quite a lot of ppl are impressed I guess you have to see it in motion to get it. Should have controlled the hyperbole and vitriol, evident in my earlier posts though.Also, if you use the game's own camera feature by pressing the touch pad, and then zoom in at all (like it appears was done with this photo?), it's actually just blowing the frame up instead of doing the fancy scaling that happens when the game zooms in itself. So you get more pixelated/blurry the more you zoom in with that feature, making the pics look even worse.

Not really, more like I have never been good at these games and playing them frustrates me to no end. Most people say that LBP is easy, so I bought it on the PS Vita, flopped hard at one boss didn't continue. So I do not buy them anymore. The games you listed are masterpieces of game design, my hatred has nothing to do with them being bad, more to do with my inadequacy at the platformer genre.
I have caused a lot of disruption and stupidity in this thread so I guess I will see myself out.
^HOLY POOP at nbnt's Infamous shots. Best console image quality I've ever seen. Unbelievable.
Having played DKC:TF, LBP2, and Puppeteer, it's hard to say. LBP2 and Puppeteer are in some ways better looking than DKC:TF, BUT they're 30fps while DKC:TF is 60fps. I'd possibly give the edge overall to DKC:TF.
But man, Puppeteer is one of the best looking games I've ever seen. If it was on PS4 at 1080p and 60fps, it would truly be the best. It really needs to be seen in motion to appreciate the incredible lighting and motion blur.
