You still have the lightening shit going on. Hate me. I threw this topic together fast via Google

Where's Resogun?
Killer Instinct really overdoes it but I guess they have to since besides particles it doesn't really look like a next gen game.
I'd say Infamous gets it just right with what they've shown anyway. It looks really impressive but it doesn't completely overdo it and shower everything in the area with it.

Oh, that's why everyone is talking about Resogun. Yep, I'm on board.

That 1st pic of Infamous Second Son looks crazy good with those floating particles. INSANE!

voxels
Resogun's artstyle, or this gif specifically, reminds me of Matrix Revolution's Zion parts and the machines's city.
Not sure if this counts but Quantum Break could be really cool if gameplay ends up looking something like this:
Not gameplay IIRC
sorry but they aren't voxels. they're polygonal cubes.

Not sure who to believe, neogaf member panda21 or the lead programmer at house marque.

Can we get some BF4, Quantum Break, and Titanfall gifs up in this bitch?
But realtime though.

Knack looks beastly. Still stands as one of the most interesting PS4 launch titles.
Didn't Remedy say it was gameplay?

KI manages to impress more and more with each showing. There was a gif doing the rounds where the storm in the background kicks up - looked incredible.
In-engine IIRC, ala The Order.

Particle effects are the visual effect I'm looking forward to the most next gen. Glad we're getting rid of flat textures and the like.
I already saw this in the resogun thread, that guy is using the term voxels incorrectly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel
basically in the old days the only way to render voxels was to use some kind of raycasting. this is quite computationally intensive if you want to render anything that doesn't look horribly blocky, so it has quite often been used along with raytracing in realtime demos of graphics hardware (larrabee and stuff maybe?) because people immediately recognise it as something that takes a lot of processing power.
but this has led to a lot of people misappropriating the term because of its association with high power/cutting edge computer graphics and using it to describe things that are rendered as polygonal cubes, but not based on a grid. Minecraft is an example of something that, whilst it doesnt use a raycasting method to render the world (it draws polygons), the map could be said to be made up of voxels since they are cubes on a grid.
The player characters in minecraft however are NOT voxels. they are made up of polygonal cubes/rectangles, but these aren't aligned with any kind of grid. If they were voxels they would be able to rotate in the way that they do.
I'm pretty sure notch has admitted that minecraft isnt really voxels despite everyone thinking that it is

Ah, my mistake. I was sure I read/heard that it was in-game.
