Well who knows what's up with that company, reboot total, probably making PlayStation Mobile games now.

The most exciting part is that picture is the equivalent of a screenshot from Resistance: Fall of Man in 2006. It's not really the most exciting part, but it isn't very often you can compare releases between launch and end-of-life without saying 'lol, what was I thinking buying that'
I loved R: FoM back then though, even though it regularly got me a massive kicking from the xbox fans when I said that.
I'll tell you it looks like shit now and I've been playing next-gen titles on PC for years.
Sure, it's still inFamous at its core, but that's why it's called inFamous and it's not some new IP. It was never going to be turned into Bayonetta or Skyrim, so of course you're still "only" jumping & blasting your way through the world. But yeah, the tools given to you to do what you do in an inFamous and the things those tools are used for do seem to be vastly improved & changed, so it shouldn't feel like a copy-paste job from inFamous 2 or Festival of Blood.
Well, I'll have to disagree there as well. This
Doesn't look too clean and there's nothing plastic-y in these environments. It's just the right kind of stylized realism.

According to famousmortimer's latest podcast, SMS 2nd team was building new game for late 2014 but they constantly missed their targets and had a lot of problems. So Sony axed it, and moved DriveClub to late 2014 slot.
GOW team is still fine, although their project is far from done.
Looks really good, so far the best looking next gen game on the two consoles. Which is a tad odd since it is a open world game. But then again its platform exclusive and its competition are launch games that for most part, do not look all that hot
Imagine the shit you will see in 2 years on both consoles, damn, NextGenIsHere#

still can't believe DriveClub was supposed to be a friggin' launch game, all the way to late 2014 now. What sort of aberration would the game had been had it come out then? 3.0 scores everywhere?

Man, people really are stretching to find flaws about the game.
it's a next gen game now, 4 hours and 10 minutes of your life iirc.
Come on Cory, bring back God of War with a re-emphasis on amazing puzzle infused areas like Pandora's Temple!
Assuming they are spending all that time continuing to at least polish the game the positive about that is that SCE is not afraid to spend money if they do see value in it.

Well lol, that's the screen i almost posted justly
Precisely there i know it's foggy and the anisotropic thing doesn't help but it seems like the textures are really flat and the whole screen doesn't scream details to me. It still looks good anyway.

Oh wow.
Not sure about much better, but this pleases me.
Wonder why theyve shown so little in terms of vistas for ss.

Because they've chosen to show so little full stop

Don't be, he must be living in a gaming hell where most pc games don't live up to his Crysis 3 like expectations. Blizzard and Valve making games that must run on years old hardware. Epic seemingly quiet for years now, what's been going on with Unreal next engine. Getting ports of games that have framerate caps until modders maybe figure out how to uncap it which sometimes don't have good results (NFS Rivals). It's a nightmare.
Yeah, but there is also a dangerous downside. If the game doesn't deliver, they would have wasted all that time for absolutely nothing. They need to be absolutely sure that the return on their investment is going to be spectacular. I hope they've got a way to get honest feedback on the quality of the game from longtime racing fans.
I think DC was just in no state to ship. If you look at what we'd actually seen, a single car on a track was struggling to maintain 30fps, and the IQ was a mess.
It's never been in a state that didn't look completely pre-alpha. I think Sony knew they weren't going to hit launch for a long time, they just didn't want to announce it.

Makes me laugh at people saying Watchdogs is a true open world and this isn't.
They're just different. In Watchdog's there is cars, but you'll never see the roof of a skyscraper or skydive. So technically it's not asking as much on that level.
And in inFamous you won't drive cars.
It' like apples to oranges. There are negatives and positives for both.

He's got a broken right leg, you can't turn your foot like that with a knee facing forward.

The only thing that looks a bit flat is the street and that's kind of natural... Otherwise there's just an insane amount of details & depth packed into that one screen, from fucktons of different kinds of signs, stores & banners to great looking trees & other greenery to how multilayered the buildings are to vines growing on the buildings and the really detailed textures.Well lol, that's the screen i almost posted justly
I personally think the ground looks absolutely stunning in places with the water/lighting effects.

So whoever's gotten the game early and been uploading these screenshots, has he stated at all if the game really does look as good playing it as all these grabs would suggest?
There always feels like there's a catch involved. Like it's too good to be true.

Yeah, that's always been one of the flaws in the series.

My input, watchdogs is doing things a bit different, has different types of interactivity, but the graphical comparison is valid...I think WD will looks amazing come May as well.
The only thing I will add...infamous has a staff of 100 or so ppl..gta 900!
Just give the team there props, it's a nice accomplishment.

I had a 360 first and played tons of Gear and was laughing Rfom too, I was one of those people.
Then I got a PS3 and played it, really nice game, they nailed the england setting so well. It just got a bit lost in the mix. Got R2 waiting to be played here now.

Most of those compressed screenshots look better than the official ones they put out.
Let's not cloud history with Sony's recent return to leadership, Gears of War completely outclasses Resistance in pretty much every measurable way.

Never played infamous 1 or 2, thought they looked like junk to be honest. But this one looks pretty incredible. It'll be crazy to see what Naughty Dog gets up to on the PS4.

No that doesn't look very good.
The pics in the OP however have me intrigued.

Loving everything else so far.
If you get an 'intrigued' for a console game from Dennis, it is a precious thing - you hold it tight and never let it go
im ready
i'm crying lol
This game looks insane, can't wait to pick up a PS4 at the end of the year, The Order + Driveclub (if 60fps) + Infamous is a meaty offer
I'm not sure if sony is again being dense as fuck and using live-action to promote the game but if they are then every one of those motherfuckers in charge of marketing should be fired. Showing well edited gameplay of this for 30 seconds is how you sell people on the game and a ps4.
