This is early alpha. You can go anywhere you can look. On a training island. When it launches it'll be on a play space the size of 270 km2.
I won't flood the thread with pics or gifs. But ARMA 3, Crysis 3 both look better than SS. Check out the PC screenshots thread, you'll see them. SS is all about gameplay for me.
Even still, better is subjective anyways. So it really doesn't matter. If you think that it is great, that's all that matters. I'm more concerned/excited with the gameplay. If they just keep building on what they've already established with the previous games, it should make for an amazing game.
I completely agree with you. I never meant to imply that I think it looks awful if that is how I came across. Just that I don't think it's the graphical powerhouse some make it out to be. The fact that it's open world and looks like this is great.
Dude there's no doubt those games look better. But there will always be people on consoles who will be impressed with what devs can do on limited hardware.
It's not about being better looking. But how they work around the drawbacks to deliver compelling top of the line looking games. SS is impressive for what it is, a PS4 launch title. Remember, some people will be playing an open world game with visuals this good for the first time. Not to mention it has a nice artstyle.
Btw, Arma 3's open worldness looks pretty impressive. The visuals are boring though.
