The gameplay demonstration was cool and the game looks gorgeous, but I'm somewhat disappointed that the only difference between this game and Infamous 1 and 2 seems to be the protagonist/powers and story. I kinda wanted something a bit more profound. Adding multiplayer modes doesn't count unless they are intrinsic to the single player like in Dark Souls.
Hopefully something will be announced that proves me wrong. If I get a PS4, I'll still buy it though.

A killer shot.
That's a great shot. Can't unsee the fire particles kinda looking like confettis, and where they're coming from tho xD

you can't put a price on sparks
looks insane. i havent played infamous 2, but i hope there's not that much sewer jumping anymore.
i hope they got rid of that "good vs. evil" thing. i feel like i missed out on half of the abilities cause i chose one way over the other.

That whole karma thing was responsible for the best moment in Infamous 1, but I agree with you. I would probably prefer something like a purchasing system or talent trees that would let me build the character to my taste. Not having to worry about the whole karma thing could also potentially result in a better developed and paced plot.
It's still in.

Nice bullshots. Didnt look nearly as good in the gameplay video.
These screens, wow!
I hope they really focus on gameplay mechanics first though.
I would prefer Naughty Dog to start a new IP again. I doubt they will make The Last Of Us 2 either.
Uncharted 4 would be safest bet sales wise, but I think Naughty Dog themselves are getting a little bored of that franchise.

Well, at the end of the day, with ND being a first-party studio, Sony gets what Sony wants. I'd love to see a Sully prequel on the PS4, but as is often said when the subject is brought up, it's more likely to appear on the Vita given the popularity of Nathan Drake.
I wonder of it will be good or evil that has the better abilities. In 1 evil was better, in 2 good was better. At least that's my opinion.
So what? EVERYONE does it and for a reason, it doesn't make sense to send aliased screens to print. So should we have 4 pages of bullshot claims in every thread?
People are like "Looks so fake, so much better than the gameplay video"
You were watching a highly compressed 720p Video!!! And we probably won't see a proper representation of true game footage until the console's in stores, the compression takes away A LOT of the detail, everyone who went from uncompressed (ProRes and the likes) to H264 will tell you that...
So the reality is between those touched up (for image quality) screenshots and the compressed video.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
This is gonna be a huge problem next gen. It'll be really hard to find accurate representations of how a game looks in motion.

Yes.
Refer to Gamersyde's video of Titanfall for reference. Titanfall looked pretty abysmal in those E3 streams, but the crisp 1080p video surpassed my expectations quite a bit.
I wasn't crying about bullshots, just explaining what it means.

Kind of side tracking, but any word on whether or not this will support move controls? Granted I'm buying it day 1, but talk about icing on the cake.

Man if next gen games still don't all have 16x AF I think it's time to sack every single engineer who worked on the hardware for both systems and just call it quits as far as console gaming goes.
Standard feature with no performance impact on pc since 2002-2003.
Even on the crappiest lowest end dedicated gpus from 5 years ago you can turn on 16x af and not lose a single fps.
Because you're wrong in pretty much every thread you post in.
You're wrong about everything you've posted in this one.
You were wrong about everything in that one thread asking what the benefits are of PS4's unified memory system.
I haven't checked yet, but if you're posting in that TRUTHFACT thread, you're probably wrong in that one too.
So yeah, maybe stop posting because you're always wrong.

Beautiful! Thanks a lot for this.
Well, they are if your definition of bullshot is "anything not taken straight out of a retail unit at native resolution".
Of course that's the definition.
People were calling bullshots on "The Dark Sorcerer" and we already saw what happened there.
Well, I think that's the only simple definition which works. If it differs from what you get over HDMI, it's a bullshot.

Until I see what these games look like when released, I'll be skeptical of anything looking too good to be true.

Tech demoes are quite the different case than actual games.
That's your definition. There isn't an actual definition of the word, to me it was defined by C&C Renegade, which had insanely photoshopped screenshots, after that C&C which had inserted explosions via PS in their screens.
Yup in QD's case they are usually inferior to the actual game.
That is about the best way to describe the look. It just looks so crisp and clean.

Penny Arcade coined the term. Ask them for the definition of the word
Bullshots are lies. I don't think simply downsampling a screenshot is enough to make it a bullshot, because downsampling is achievable and perfectly playable (given beefy hardware) on PCs.
However, this kind of image quality on consoles is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch BS. In motion, I fully expect this game to have pretty obvious aliasing. I would also expect a downgrade in asset quality (just to keep my expectations in check). And I don't think that depth of field will be present during gameplay. Probably just cut scenes.
To me it's clear. If the devs spiced up the shots to make the game look better than it is, then it's a bullshot.

What are you even arguing about, you know what the poster was saying when he said bullshot, there is no point in getting into semantics over what you think it means, you know what he means.

Not really. Texture caches are very good at handling AF fetches. That's one of the reasons why even very high quality AF is nearly free on the latest batch of GPUs.
I agree that AF is what must be a standard for the next gen though. Lack of AF in TLoU is killing me right now.
I don't disagree. It's just that many people would think of the kind of shit Ubi is pulling. So not just downsampled screens, but a good dose of photoshopping etc.
Direct screen grabs are of course always better. Overall I have the feeling that the end result (what you see on the screen in person) is always a bit less rough overall.

This game will be so good.
lol there will be a lot of crow eating when the game does come out.
I agree that there are varying degrees of bullshottery, I actually introduced bullshots of the first, second and third degree in a post a few weeks back
Found it:

Yep, same logic for me.
The oversampled shots don't bother me that much. Plus it's not necessarily some kind of evil deceiving attempt from devs anyway. I'm fairly sure this is just a remnant of the print press days for the most part.
Now this kind of crap is a different story.

That it is!
I really wish this was closer to launch but I'm OK waiting a couple months. For my launch console games I usually want a sports game, a racing game, and an open world game ... so this fits perfectly.
