Someone please tell me if you know, what on earth were Sony thinking showing black flag instead of this at the e3 conference? Damn Sony haha
Sick!!!
Is this for real? Saying Crysis (and killzone but I haven't played the previous ones) sucks and then praising Call of Duty... Wat. Unless you're speaking solely of the multiplayer aspect of the game.

I'm pretty happy that they've committed to a more open game, both in environments and gameplay. Deciding the approach of objectives is cool, but also the order of them is the main thing that sounds promising and I'd like to see how far they take that concept.

Yeah, MGS5 looked incredible. I would argue, however, that FFXV looked equally impressive. The asset quality in there is just incredible and the scale looks suitably impressive.
Any example gif showcasing KZ2/3's hit reaction on Shadow Fall? I seem to have missed it?
I like KZ's gameplay btw. I think shooting mechanics were very satisfying, the enemy AI was very good. For example, when you chipped away cover, the enemies adapted to the new height of the cover. That looked sweet. And the hit reaction was not shabby, it looked very visceral seeing your bullets affect your opponent.

I know I'll get flack from some of you and I say this not to berate KZSF's visuals beyond the obvious issues I mentioned before, but I honestly felt Divsion took the cake, especially, if it was running on PS4 (given their usage of ps4 controller). I think it came down to the aesthetics of the visual. Plus I found the lighting to be more pleasing, effusing atmosphere. It's the same reason why I prefer the visuals of infamous second son over KZSF.
To me killzone always will be killzone 2. The current one looks precise (aiming for photo realism) and clinical but to me it lacks soul.
Thank you guys.

I am pretty impressed by the integration of touchpad and a new toy to play with on the battlefield.
The game looks solid.

The city footage was incredible. This? Not so much. In fact, if someone told me it was running on a PS3, I wouldn't second guess them. And the pop is pretty bad. It's clear that the KZ team has far more experience at creating city scapes and not so much in forests.
This... I can't describe how KZ3's MP was a let down for a KZ2 MP fan. KZ2 MP was an inch close to perfection, and they threw it all away.

It looks good, but no:
Ubi-bullshot.
Still, if it really was running on the PS4, then yes, The Division has taken the crown.
Lol.
You're putting a BS up against compressed video and video captures. This is when you do exact like for like.
What is unimpressive about it?
Probably that he played better looking PC games at 60FPS.

The trees, the rock formation geometry, the natural-looking lighting.
It doesn't look as nice as modded Crysis, that's for damn sure.

Looks like State of Decay meets Halo with a bit of Resistance thrown in.
Seriously though, Killzone's reveal trailer back in Feb is still the most impressive thing I've seen graphically, even if it was on-rails. This looks very good, but doesn't have the jaw-dropping wow factor of the city.

That's a raise?

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Battlefield 4 and Quantum Break both looked better to me.

bf4 looks more technical impressive due to destruction and all the shit that is going on the screen at once.

Everyone's passing around that The Division screen, which does look great, but in motion I don't think the game looks anywhere near as good as any of Killzone or Battlefield 4 single-player we've seen.
Do people really think it's better looking in motion?

In one footage you can see the entire city rendered below as was seen in the first reveal footage. There are far bigger and more dense scenes in this thany anything from BF4.
Also on Quantum Break, they have shown precious little on that game. Strangest game reveal I have ever seen. I have absolutely no sense of what the game actually is. They talk about an action game and then show weird interactive cutscenes. Maybe it is like Heavy Rain.
Still just scripted though. Same as every KZ game. Only this new KZ is a lot more open ended.

This. KZ is overrated.

Incredible visuals like we'd expect from GG. To think a launch title looks this good...
That area seems to be fairly open, which in combination with that portable zipline should be a lot of fun. They wouldn't introduce that zipline if the game was full of narrow corridors so I'm expecting good things as far as level design is concerned.

So strange to hear a Battlefield fan claim Killzone is generic or overrated. Killzone is considerably more creative, diverse, and different. This transfers over from the weapons, vehicles, mechs, jet packs, multiplayer, multiplayer modes, classes, world, characters, locations and so on and so on.
Whilst the hit detection animations in SF look lame so far (guessing they'll fix it), what KZ is best known for is tactile shooting, amazing AI (best in class) and superb hit detection animations and kill satisfaction. In the latter, speaking purely in terms of visceral killing, I think KZ is unmatched. Having said that, I do agree Shadow Fall needs some work.
Crysis graphics without the interesting gameplay -> boring game.

See that looks very impressive, but I fail to see what sets it apart from some of the other games at the show. Detail looks just as impressive in stuff like FFXV, as does the lighting. Animations looked more impressive in FFXV I would say, and effects looked probably more impressive. Plus we saw scenes where a lot more was going on. I mean I think it looks very good, but there were a number of games that impressed me more than the Division.

Underrated. Killzone 2 is one of/ arguably the best playing FPS of the generation.
I'm all for Division graphics boasting. It was my second, or joint first pick for best graphics of the show, as I stated on day one of the conferences. KZ just seems to push more geometry and scale though, maybe better textures too, but Division has that amazing lighting and post processing that gives it a very muted realistic tone. By contrast KZ is slightly exaggerated.
