Found it!
Absolutely amazing looking fire.
Directly from fairy tail. This is amazing.

This and killzone were the highlights of the show for me. Can't wait to rush to Blanka's aid.
Knack looks very impressive considering what it's doing, lighting is fantastic and the main character is composed of thousands of objects. Cartoonish art style does not mean something isn't technically solid.
Look at the Knack trailer again, the scale and scope are awesome!

Honestly all the games at the conference looked really good visually, so so far beyond what a PS3 can do.

I figured this would be multiplatform but everywhere says "specifically for ps4." Does that mean exclusive?

Hmmm... it does look amazing, but not CGI. Could definitely be real time, but at the same time it's a tech demo and doesn't mean PS4 games will look this good, but hopefully they come close because this tech demo is amazing!

It looks amazing, and even if it's not indicative of a final product, Capcom's tech has not really slouched this generation, so I'm not too worried about this game (and games that use the engine, e.g., Dragon's Dogma 2) looking bad by any means.
Honestly, I'm much more concerned about Capcom's pricing strategies than about this game's mind-melting graphics. Someone's got to pay for all of this excellent R&D.

Played the hell out of Dragon's Dogma, and this looks like the real deal. Beaning that dragon in the face is totally in line with DD's gameplay and style and NextGen is just making it more-so.
"Shitty HUD"? Placeholder. It can be made to look like anything from any genre to any style. Placeholders don't need to "fit" yet.
Many are unimpressed and believe they can do better, and that's cool. Many are unconvinced that it can be that good, and that's cool too. We all agree that there will be changes from this to the final product. But even a Dragon's Dogma 2 that will end up looking half as good as this is still twenty times better than the first Dragon's Dogma.
Dragon's Dogma fans have a whole lot of AWESOME coming soon.

I honestly don't believe it.
Looks like a cinematic + wishful thinking + UI trolling.
If the game comes out like that I'll happily dine on crow before playing it, but right now, nope, I just don't believe it.

If it't not CG it certainly wasn't running on a PS4, more likely pre rendered in engine on a PC. But still I doubt it.

It's Capcom, so no.
Also, I think developers still have to sort of pretend they don't know the 720 exist until it's officially announced.

Looks insanely impressive. Honestly, it's not out of the ballpark of what I think a dedicated, closed platform console with amazing specs can attain with a dev with a big enough budget.

Just watched it on big screen tv and it definitely looks in game.

Wait, what? I thought Azura's Wrath was a masterwork in game design? Or at least there are some on GAF who'd try to make you believe that anyway. Pressing A for Awesome is all you need isn't it?
Capcom never actually made that game anyway, it was outsourced.
I don't know my friend's weird mormon buddy let me borrow it and all I could think of the entire time I played it was "this is the worst gaming experiment I've ever had the displeasure of 'playing', if you could call it that."
It actually does have moments of gameplay but those are pretty terribad too!
That's not what I meant
Maybe. I will try to believe...but deep down no way
That part where he runs up and attacks the dragon is too much. And the lighting in the cave...way too optimised for that I bet.The fire alone looked movie quality. Come on guys.

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
But not compared to the RE5 tech demo they showed.

Totally.
Why make a Next Gen game for a Next Gen system when you won't do Next Gen things with it?
Man, I was feeling old for awhile with all these new fangdangled techy things coming out. Good to feel young again.

The HUD part really had me laughing. I cant believe they tried to scam us with that. lol

It's definitely in-engine graphics and probably rendered on PS4. It's not CGI that's for sure.
I doubt the final game will look completely like that though as it looks like they put a ton of effort into that video alone and doing that for a whole game just wouldn't be practical. Plus the camera angles are too cinematic and you'd never see angles like that for gameplay.
I'm sure it'll be a beast though. The fire alone is incredible.

If Dragon's Dogma today had the Deep Down's graphics of tomorrow, yeah, that's gameplay.
Camera control is Player controlled with the right stick. The player can make the camera as cinematic as they want.
(EDIT: Save those "new camera angle cuts" of course. Yeah, I can't call for that at all.)
Yeah, no way you can build a 20 hour adventure on those real time visuals

Man those were the golden days of gaf. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
On topic, yes this was the most impressive demonstration for me. By far.
It doesn't just demonstrate an increase in processing power but rather a new way of doing highly complete graphics. Nothing in the video is off the shelf engine features.

This might be the Killzone preview of the next gen. In time we might get close or even surpass, but I doubt it'd look that great (beyond just the graphics) for a long while. Everything is too perfect, from the stalagmite crashing down realistically as the dragon's tail whips it, to the realistic looking fire and the way it folds around the shield, and the seamless animation and weight in every movement that a lot of games can't get right still to this day. It's the only game I felt looked truly next-gen beyond the graphics. This one just looked too good to be real right now.

when the guy walks through the mud, he doesn't leave footprints. that's a little disappointing.
Nah. It cuts to him already shielding from the fire and it was already melted. Shield-melting is PS5 tech.

Hehe yeah, understood. The more realistic games become the more realities need to be addressed. It may be where that Uncanny Valley gets in the way of gameplay (or make up for it with new mechanics). There was a time when those details were a little more forgivable...

In the context that this video was presented it would not make any sense for it to be CGI.
"We're making a badass new Engine. It can do this and that. Here's a CGI trailer to prove my point".

anyone else get project offset vibes watching this?

not in the aspect that i don't think this will be coming out, i think deep down will definitely happen, but just kind of in the visuals, the lighting, motions, the fact it both look beautiful in the respective times.

I think people have already accepted this was real-time and not CGI. The problem is that maybe it was only a tech-demo with ultra-high production values and deliverables that will have to be scaled down for the "real game" when it gets released.
The engine can do that fire and it's all real-time. But will it be intact in the final game? That's what is unknown at the time.
I feel as though it could be, if the scope of the game is limited to dungeon crawling.
Who knows? There's compelling old school gameplay to be had with a pure dungeon crawl. It'd be amazing to see a next-gen game taking the old school gold box style RPG environments and amping them up with next-gen tech.
I could see the sprinting part being how the actual game will look like, with "set pieces" in dungeons, they did this in Dragon's Dogma when you fight the Dragon.
If this game is Dragon's Dogma but with improved animations/graphics/collisions (DD had a shitload of clippings due to consoles limitation, and it still ran like poop), it would look pretty amazing.
They also have the best enemy and combat animations in any games, the problem is that they often lacked variety.
Imagine this with the new engine:

Was Killzone 4 looking good? Yeah it was. But I played that game already, dozens of times. Deep Down is something that calls me. It is mysterious, dark and scary. It is a game in a genre that hasn't been run down to the ground yet.
Just throwing something outthere, but, who is to say that the portion of the Gif where the blade makes contact couldn't be actually realtime "gameplay"(tech aside). Is it so hard to believe that next gen might bring innovative new combat camera. Hell, great visuals are one thing but I am equally invested into how they are presented.

Nah, RE5 still looks fantastic.
Kinda, because camera scripting does not require PS4 power levels.
