Delicious particles

Resogun...wow.

Good catch. The cam footage of the forest with all the leaves blowing around looked stunning.

Particles is last gens bloom.

 

[MarkusRJR]

I have a feeling particle effects are going to be the "thing" devs pile on early on this generation, just like how bloom was the "thing" last generation.

 

[panda21]

that killzone gif is amazing. looks great for a launch game

 

[Wishmaster92]

While knack looks amazing, most of the reveal trailer was pre-rendered.

This is definitely pre-rendered.

 

[dark10x]

Modded Crysis looks much better than these wimp-ass particles

There's nothing in modded Crysis that matches those inFamous particles.

 

[BraXzy]

I have to admit. The particle effects and how they are used in Second Son look incredible.

 

[MarkV]

No GIFs from Final Fantasy XV?

Just gimme dat next gen water

GTA VI needs a surfing mini game

Just gimme dat next gen water

Gimme dat next gen Triple H hair.

 

[george_us]

Particle effects are pretty much the only "next gen" feature that I'll never get tired of. Lens flare, bloom, shiny normal maps, etc. got old real quick but I could stare at a shitload of particle effects all day.

 

[Majmun]

That Infamous gif with the flyuing dude.


The pop-up in the background is pretty bad. Sucke Punch better fix that.

 

[AdmiralPain]

Except unlike bloom everything doesn't end up looking like ass ala Oblivion.

You don't think that particles in Resogun are overdone?

 

[The Flash]

Not sure if this counts but Quantum Break could be really cool if gameplay ends up looking something like this:

I want to see more of this game and Sunset Overdrive.

i'm sure they will improve it, it's from a seriously early build for a game that won't be out until February

 

[wapplew]

Other than glorious particles, Colors are back too!
I guess that's one good thing for Epic next gen absent.

And coffee.

Is Killer Instinct a firework simulator?

This is clearly something that couldn't have been done in actual gen but this also clearly something that cost a lot to develop and will add so little to most games...

 

[Nozem]

Spoiler

voxels

Most impressive next gen gif, easily. Especially knowing all those particles have actual geometry and physics. And 60fps at 1080p. Housemarque knows their shit, bitches.

The Fantavision sequel we deserve.

 

[dyergram]

Ki looks great not my sort of game but it looks cool as shit.

 

[ridethepiggy]

Yep keep trying with that.

He's right? Nothing about KI says it couldn't have been done on the 360.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

He's right? Nothing about KI says it couldn't have been done on the 360.

I think that's dismissing the level of effects and the background. Both haven't been done to that level on either console, so I'd say it's pretty next gen.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

KI takes it.

*rolls laughing on the floor*, the particles have you too mesmerized to pay attention to the horrid character models.

 

[Creaking]

That Infamous gif with the flyuing dude.

I believe that's pretty old footage.

 

[RoadHazard]

Knack's body disintegrating and reassembling isn't really an example of particle effects, it's a physics simulation of the actual polygonal parts that make him up. That's different from a particle system. The same can be said about Reogun, I think. The levels are actually made up of lots of tiny cubes, which then fly all over the place when shit blows up. They are not particles being generated by anything, if my understanding is correct. Looks cool as hell though!

 

[Ian]

Holy shit!

I was happy with my decision to go PC only this coming gen. This is the first game I've seen that could tempt me into buying a PS4.

 

[nhlducks35]

Just gimme dat next gen water

 

[Vitor711]

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.

Shame it's only 720p though. Was really bummed out when I discovered that. I mean, it look nice, but not THAT nice to need such a huge compromise on resolution, especially when games like Ryse and Killzone are native 1080.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Just gimme dat next gen water

Wave Race has you covered....oh, it hasn't been announced yet, well when it doe....you mean to say it most likely won't ever be announced?

Well, uh, I guess uhm Kinect Sports has you covered.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

/\
Nice water!

Love this gif, KI looks so fun to play.

 

[Chance Hale]

The only thing better than good particle effects is good depth of field.

 

[abadguy]

Some of you are trying a bit too hard here.

Rare still got it when it comes to graphics. Now if we could only get a new Perfect Dark from them...

 

[Train of Midnight]

This is getting me hyped for Next-gen's graphics all over again. God dammit you guys.

 

[Gskyace]

My eyes are ready!
Show me more gifs!!
Ahhhh hfonvqworigneobir

 

[FLAguy954]

Gotta show some Nintendo particle love:

 

[apana]

Does this count from Battlefield 4?

I like it when these particle effects are used for something real: gases, explosions, fire, lights, etc. I don't like it when they feel added on and overused.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Damn, that's the first time I've seen Kinect Sports in action, I didn't know it was that impressive. Rare are masters when it comes to pretty looking games. Makes me want a new wave race game so bad.
