Capcom's DEEP DOWN was the most impressive thing shown @ PS4 event

I want to believe, but then I remember people pointing out the pop-in in the KZ2 render as evidence that it was real.
Also remember the first MGS4 trailer. I'm sure Konami believed they could make that level of graphics for the whole game when they showed it, but then they had to downgrade it.

I think this is actually a good comparison. A lot of people are calling this a CG video trying to trick us into believing it's a game. I'm in the camp that believes this is in engine stuff, just like the first MGS4 video. The first Killzone 2 video looked nothing like a actual video game. You could tell from the beginning because it was just too perfect. It didn't have the usual flaws that you would find in a real game. This looks like a game, one that they built using development tools and not a movie they made to try and fool us. Sure it may end up downgraded, but it's still not CG movie a la the first Killzone and Motorstorm videos.
The nope gifs will be so epic.
On a serious note, to temper my absolute believer mood since yesterday, i would remember Capcom showed real time demos for RE4 on GC and RE5 on PS3 that were downgraded after that.
But honestly, we're talking 8gig of ddr5 here.. Should be enough..

The animations in that demo give away that it wasn't real-time. While I expect next-gen to have a much better IQ, the leap in animations is something that doesn't require much more prosessing power, but much more scripting and effort. Especially for a third party. The demo was simply too fluid to be gameplay, with no transitions that showed there is a human controlling the on screen character.
In short, I call fake.

Looks like souped up downsampled Dark Souls with some fucking amazing fire and animations.
If this is possible to come close in real time, even when the animations are super scripted for this (boss?) fight, I'd salivate. Hard.
If this game isn't total shit, then I'll buy it no matter what, target render or cutscene or whatever, I don't care, I love me some fire, swords and dragons.

WTF guys suddenly everyone forgot who's Capcom ? It's not like they have been the animation kings for the last 15 years...

If the footage shown is what it'll look like on my tv, fuck yes I'm interested.

Yeah I cannot find it. It was the best part of the demo, easily.
It's not gameplay. They never said it was gameplay. It was a demo of their next gen engine running in real time (which it was). So not "fake" at all.

Dragon's Dogma was amazing. imagine the same team working on new hardware, giving you perfect control over your avatar in a dynamic world. add ruthless Demon's/Dark Souls encounters to give us the perfect medieval fantasy game. after decades of weak gameplay mechanics in the same genre, we deserve to have these games.
i know Capcom can do it. don't be afraid to go all out with this one.

Anyone else think they should just leave the title as Deep Down? It's a working title, but I like it.

This cannot be in game. Surely not. I wouldn't put it past Capcom to pull a Gearbox.
I suspect this real time in-engine cut scene rendering but with scripted animation and no A.I.
-Probably Running on Some High end PC
Looks far to advance to be ps4 compared to everything else on the system the gap is too huge to be real.
Lol at demon soul fans, Apparently according to them Demon souls invented medieval dudes in armor fighting dragons in caves.

It is amazing, it's not getting the attention it deserves because it's not an exclusive but my god man it looks amazing.
The faces, the animation, the fire effects, I was blown awaaaeeeee

I wouldn't go that far, but it was the start of something amazing. It had a serious lack of variety in environments and enemies, which I know can be easily remedied with the next.
I've actually never been into that setting at all. I have almost no interest in this game; I just clicked to see what sort of wild claims OP would make about this. It does look nice graphically, but Watch_Dogs looks far more interesting to me.

I can only hope interactive gameplay will look like this.

Visually I would probably say Agni Philosophy looked better. At least I thought the character models did. Again, this is just another tech demo in the same vein, just scripted to make it seem like a gameplay experience.

That's probably what we can expect from the next RE cutscenes.

I'd take a hard-core, medieval fantasy dungeon-crawler, for sure.
But that computer screen at the end of the demo seemed to hint that it was all just a meta-game...which is cool as well I guess.
I think this is Capcom's response to Assassins Creed.

Lighting looks great, but I'm not completely understanding which part is under the player's control, or if this is just a concept video.

If that was real time then holy shit, hol-ee shit. If they can realize what they were showing and build it around that idea of survival/fear/bravery, that could be a system seller.
Watching the video @ 1080p on YouTube...I'm pretty sure it's realtime. There's some definite aliasing through the depth of field which is indicative of realtime rendering. It's much like the aliasing you see in the cinematic depth of field portions of The Witcher 2. There's also some temporal aliasing in the distance that indicates a post-process AA solution,
It may not all be real-time, but it seems like parts of it are.

Thats exactly how i felt. While it looked great, it doesnt seem these are in game graphics.
That's how it looks at times. Then you have the godly fire effects I am trying to wrap my head around :b
I'd say for sure everything up to 55 seconds into the video is realtime:

The rest is hard to say.
It's possible they used low quality shaders and rendered at a low resolution to produce a CGI target render...but that would seem slightly improbable.

Everything is real time. Anybody who watched the presentation will certainly have heard the Capcom guy saying how they are developing the engine and the game at the same time, and this was all in engine footage.
So yes, it's all real time.

In-engine footage does not imply real-time.
I mean, obviously the video was not produced in real-time, the question is whether that visual quality is achievable in real time or not.

After PS3's initial's unveiling, I'm not getting hyped about the graphics until I see ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.

Resident Evil 5 was the most visually impressive game I had seen up til that point based on screenshots and controlled demos. I don't really trust Capcom anymore, but that trailer was pretty boss.

Looked so good that I'm skeptical of its reality.
It also made me aware of my growing fear that now that realistic human faces are possible, we won't see as much stylization in characters, which would be a fucking bummer.

It's clearly real time(like Unreal 4), whether that means that the final game will look exactly like that or not it's up in the air. But I don't understand the amount of skepticism, people had low hopes for next gen I guess.
Not a fan of one of the most talented, diverse and influential game dev company in the history of video games?
Or just not a fan of NEW Capcom?
Whether or not it can actually be produced using the PS4 hardware is another question. That may very well have been produced using a high end PC.
From the footage shown I'm also definitely leaning towards real time, unless they went through the trouble of making the trailer with the focus of faking real time (talking about the feel of the trailer here, not just the UI).
