That looks pretty much amazing, people doubted that next gen consoles could do Agnis Philopshy in real time, there it is on PS4.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
I loved it. Incredible graphics. Not many other demos left me impressed. And one of the rare moments where it's actually confirmed to be rendered in real-time.

Ok, now I see what people mean about coding to the metal beating PC's. This looks insane. Albeit its not gameplay, but still, this is insane.

The goblins face looks just stupid for me. Like they just mocapped someone's damn face onto it.... proportions look stupid as hell.

He touched the black heart of a mod
Gameplay animations will never be this good, but I'd settle just for the graphics. Highly impressed, and I love that they used the soulful old man head.
 
so is it safe to believe the old man will be a character in the next Quantic Dream game?


If you recall, the 'actress' in that Casting PS3 tech demo ended up in Heavy Rain years later. :)
 
The sorcerers characterization on camera was tremendous. He is literally the best next gen character to date. The amount of personality contained within the character is just epic. The facial expressions, the voice, the look....... pure genius.

I think that's part of the joke. It's suppose to look like special effects for a movie or such, given the twist in the demo's plot.
 
By far the best looking thing at E3 so far. QD actually have a very good record of matching their tech demos. If they can match this...holy cowdung

Totally mind-blowing.

People were shitting bricks on GTTV when Quantum Break's vid was confirmed to be real-time, but this is just on another level to my eyes...

Those screens look CG.
Hopefully the tech demo translates into some real time game-play scenario, and can hold the same graphical fidelity as well.

When I saw this yesterday I almost could not believe it. When they stop the scene and show the set, the lighting almost makes it look real. Amazing.

"I don't believe it" just made me think of Victor Meldrew.

Good though. Look forward to seeing what QD can do with PS4
 
Now THIS is next gen.

Still, it's only a tech demo. I don't expect in-game graphics to look like this until the end of this generation, if then.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

Almost LA NOIRE motion capture fidelity, fantastic particles, lightning, skin shaders... True nextgen.

Consider Quantic Dreams´s previous tech demos. Then see the games they make. I fully expect a game from them looking this good in late 2014/ early 2015.

Ho. Lee. Shit.

Yes, I know this is a tech demo, but if mid-gen PS4 games end up looking AND playing this good, then count me in.

Love how they keep cutting back and forth from the stage to the green screen, just to show off how they are capable of streaming high quality assets without problems.

Also, it doesn't look to bad compared to Agni's Philosophy, which is totally mocking (the sorceres is even wearing a feathered mantle). :lol
 
It looks great, but it is a scripted sequence. Lets see how things look with actual gameplay.

Heavy Rain's heavily scripted but the player is doing stuff during the cutscenes. Same as Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy.

Anyway, this tech does look blooming lovely.

Enjoyed the entire video. Also enjoyed the small bit in the E3 conference, wasn't expecting what we got lol.

So this isn't an actual game right? I've been seeing a lot of reports that this is a game and even some people listing it as a one of the Sony exclusives. Amazon also has (had? I haven't checked since yesterday) it for pre-order.
 
I'm getting this Terry Pratchett vibe from this. It's also good to see a comedy game :)

And damn, this was the first game that I saw that made me realize what next gen graphical potential is.
