I'm hoping that Delsin gets that ice jump-style move that the enemies in the demo have. Or at least something that's similar to it. That was probably the best power in i2.
I immediately noticed this. LoD doesn't seem so hot. Gameplay looks like a ton of fun though.
Look at how low res these background buildings are..
They still need to refine the alpha effects (for flame around cars when they explode) because it still gives rise to some ugly aliasing.
Btw, here is the 1st GIF:

So I've never played Infamous 1/2, but this has me super excited.
Should I go back and play 1 and 2 before then? Should I only play one or the other? I'm interested, but I was turned off by like the first 20/30 minutes I played of Infamous 1 way back when it first came out, but Second Son looks really good. I want to love it.
One day *all* the screenshots taken from a vid will have the same quality of the game. Right now, screenshot like that are worthless.
Back on topic ... Awesome, so so awesome!!!

Not just the buildings, look at how low res his coat texture, the flame, the smoke, his shoes, his hat, everything looks low res and full of artifacting. This game is far from next gen.
If you are going to play one, play the first one.
Yeap. This bit has civilians finally lol.
Nothing to do with the video quality, those buildings have extremely simple geometry and the textures on them aren't even aligned properly.
Probably just unfinished, doesn't even look like theres a street under them.
God yes.
Just looks like WIP assets to me. There's a reason it's not out yet, and it got a lot to do with the artists currently being busy.
EDIT:
@SolidSnakex I agree, I loved doing it under a car to flip it out the way.
It's called www.gamersyde.comOn the off chance someone from Sucker Punch is reading this thread, here is some important feedback.
Get SCE WWS marketing to STOP releasing PS4 footage solely on YouTube. All the YouTube videos looks very poor, as the poor compression/bitrate of YouTube destroys much of the detail and beauty of the new worlds you folks are creating. We want the footage in a high quality format. Figure out someway to release high quality footage along side the standard YouTube videos.
I'm excited for the game, but let's call a spade a spade. The buildings are flat and low textured, and the LoD is bad. Anything outside of a 100 yard radius seems to just look terrible. I'm excited for the prospects of a new Infamous, but there are some people that are saying this looks AMAZING and incredible. Not true. It looks decent with fun as hell gameplay. Though, this being 6+months before release I imagine they'll really start to spruce up the graphics. Either way, I'll be there day 1 just as I was for all Infamous games. But I've seen better.
This is next-gen...Wheres the chunk of road when he lands!
Yes the buildings are flat and the textures are low res. But calling a spade a spade is totally presumptuous. Even if it were an LOD issue (which I doubt it is), then it would pretty easy to excuse given that it still has over 6 months of optimisation.
It's pretty clear it's not asset complete. Those buildings are not complete. Same situation as the E3 demo.
Fair enough. I just don't understand why everyone is gushing over the graphics. It just technically doesn't look like anything special. I'm more excited for the new environment and powers. PC gaming has made the new console reveals less exciting for me I guess; as I've been playing games that looked better than what's been revealed so far for a while now. Either way, I have a PS4 reserved and can't wait to play SS. I do wish it was coming out at PS4 launch though. That is a bummer.

That aside. It's another Infamous and it looks
Hot.
This isn't some classless Superman or Hulk. We land with style and grace over hereThis is next-gen...Wheres the chunk of road when he lands!

Can I see all these PC games that look better than this? I must have missed them:
If it's the fact it's unfinished and you're not impressed at it's WIP state, then I can't argue with that. The unfinished buildings are ugly when you notice them.
If you're not impressed with the parts that clearly are final assets for these vertical slices then I think you're just being recalcitrant, due to what is widely perceived as a superb looking game. And it's open world - seriously it's quite amazing.

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.
Crysis 3, you mean the completely linear FPS?... One is an open world game and the other isn't.
I'm not familiar enough with Arma to speak of its visual fidelity. I'll watch some videos online and get back to you.
base off these youtube videos infamous looks like DR3, except DR3 has a shit load of zombies
