That's weird as hell.It's really weird how it works, so if you touch the right analog stick at all it comes on screen, but in order to make it disappear you need to move Delsin around with the left stick without touching the right, then it leaves. Same place different screenshot no reticle.
I'll try my best to do panoramas for the game.That's weird as hell.
I like this way of doing pics, it cuts down spam and lets lots of shots posted in one post. Useful for new releases.
Of all the eyeporn this game has provided tonight, this shot is just insane.Next gen has arrived.
Yeah, maybe playing Sleeping Dogs on PC with high-res textures has spoiled me because Infamous doesn't look like anything special. It really does look like Sleeping Dogs, but in a less interesting setting with a less interesting lead. Wei Shen doesn't have superpowers, though!
That's the worst shot, to be honest. Muddy image quality with dithered-looking sprite-based foliage.
Maybe you can describe what I'm seeing but I think one graphical hiccup both games have (in stills, at least) is there seems to be a harsh delineation between foreground and background. Look at the forest shot from Infamous, for example -- the park bench and lodge and such in the foreground seems jarring juxatoposed against the wilderness in the distance. It's as though there's a sharp line where what's "in focus" begins and ends. Maybe that's the distance at which DOF kicks into effect?
I disagree, outside of the fact the compression is hurting it notably, I think it's the best shot, because it presents something I'm not used to in games. The density of the tree line, seemingly miles away, is extremely impressive to me.
Oh mah gawd
Yeah, you can see the DOF "cutoff" in this shot I took, as well, by the street light at the corner:That's the DOF, yep. Could get pretty extreme in Sleeping Dogs too.
Oh man, if you think the woods in Infamous look impressive, play the PC version of Alan Wake and prepare to have your mind blown.
I've owned it for ages and never installed it, maybe I should, I love that stuff.

Agree 100%. I also found myself comparing it to Sleeping Dogs PC.
When it comes to "realistic" games, I think Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and the new Thief both look significantly better than Second Son and Ryse. Go over the past few pages and the shots from Tomb Raider: DE and Thief almost look like paintings at times. They're overflowing with atmosphere and an extraordinary attention to detail.
Ryse, meanwhile, has the uncanny valley effect where the skin and musculature might look realistic but the eyes look robotic and soulless. Second Son has wonderful character models but looks like yet another open-world city game -- boxy buildings, open streets and rooftops -- with flat foliage on the outskirts and nothing particularly noteworthy next to the likes of, say, Sleeping Dogs PC, which looks every bit as good in the rain. I do appreciate the Seattle setting, as I said before, and the lighting effects on neon signage and superpowers are nice, but I suspect the novelty will wear off. The game world doesn't look like the next step in immersion when titles like GTAV seem to be more ambitious in scope, scale and density of detail, even if their past-gen trappings had them struggle more with IQ and framerate.
I fully believe in the PS4 and plan to get one, but I think it kind of does the system a disservice to put forth Second Son as proof of its power. I suspect Naughty Dog or Santa Monica will be the ones to really show what the system can do -- aside from their technical proficiency, both studios also have a knack for offering up lush landscapes with awe-inspiring architecture and breathtaking scale. E3 will be interesting.
Fair points. I don't think Second Son looks "bad," I just don't think it looks particularly impressive in any given screen. But it's true that the net effect of soaking in all the detail and ambiance across a vast open world could add up to something truly special.
I just glanced in the Infamous walkthrough thread and was immediately hit with this... That doesn't look like water. And the rocks have the same problem Pikmin 3 did -- straight lines where the rocks meet the sand. And the foliage... Eeh.
