Is the Seattle Art Museum in there? If so, can anyone screen shot.

It's a waste to use anything else. Try comparing the quality of 2xSMAA to anything else at that performance cost.

Whelp, it looks like I'll be putting I and I2 to the top of my backlog list. I'll need to get a PS4 too while I'm at it...details...details.

I really hope Sucker Punch strives for a proper day/night cycle next time out with this same kind of dramatic lighting. It looks amazing, but it would be way more impressive to see the game transition to and from these conditions.

Yeah, they should ape GTA's 'fast-forward into time-of-day for story mission' mechanic instead of restricting it to move per mission cycle.

Funny thing is that Infamous 1 and 2 had no AA.

I'm being a debbie downer, but those trees and the textures of the building in the backgrounds are pretty low quality. That said, I already preordered it off of PSN and am very excited to play it, I'm just not seeing the insane graphical jump that others are. In motion I bet it looks great though, and then things I'm complaining about will be way less noticeable. For an open world game it looks fantastic and I've loved all previous InFamous titles. This next week is gonna be great. So in 2 weeks time I've gotten Southpark, Titanfall, MGSV:GZ, and InFamouse:SS. Glorious.

I can sort of see what you mean, but I get the feeling we need to see this thing in motion.
You wouldn't give River Tam a second glance, but just see that baby in motion and the boxer shorts evaporate.
I think it's about how cohesive the visuals are. The simulations elements, reflections in puddles, illumination from his pretty particles, it all looks like it's at the same quality if that make sense.
A lot of games have oddly stand out elements, the obvious one is water, people will always say "the water is incredible" or "the water looked like shit", fire is another thing. InFamous' technical and artistic aesthetic is so caringly presented, it's really very impressive.
It's also very surprising to me. I really love InFamous 2, I think it was second only to TLoU in Sony's retail games last generation, and it was a technically impressive game for being open world, but it's not even close to the artistic achievement SS is. I wonder if they've got new art people.

If I had one bone to pick, it definitely would be the HUD. I still really don't like it and I'd like the option to disable it at the very least.
Those two identical trees is lazy as fuck, rotate one, Jesus.
It's a shame, there's some great UI design there, the cityscape being in the map is really smart.
Yeah, the HUD is embarrassing.

Look harder. One of the earliest ones posted had like 20 pedestrians in it.
Besides, the "dead city" complaint is old hat. The new hotness is "gameplay" (as if that should even be a concern for a Sucker punch game, as that studio is well-known for PERFECT controls since the days of the Sly games,) and some complaints about LOD (which it seems to be doing as good as or better than any open world game, but people are still nitpicking.)
...
Seriously, now that the retail copies are in the wild and screenshots are out and looking amazing, doesn't it seem like there's a wave after wave of almost coordinated talking-points from certain posters working at downplaying the game?
You can fucking say that again. I posted in the next-gen screenshots thread, and you have people saying Thief looks better than inFamous. That kinda shit is just downright stupid. I understand, everyone has their opinion, but seriously it's hard to back up a statement like that.
Here's a few shots I took since I have the game as well.

There are plenty of pedestrians in the game you guys. They say some pretty funny things too, which I won't spoil.
I'm really afraid how reviewers will treat this game. inFamous deserves a crapton of sales. This game is seriously something else.

I really need to do something about the fact that I haven't even seen a trailer for this game.
I keep on forgetting about GDC. lol I seriously wish I was attending GDC. I know SP was gonna be hosting some talks. Being a game dev major, I would have loved to attend.

Maybe hold off even longer until the reviews come out and see if it's a game you'd like, then experience it all for the first time. Less anticipation, less obsession on finding more footage. Before you know it, the game will have been out for 5 days and you had forgotten and you can casually go to buy it and maybe be surprised. The best way to be.
Deservedly so.. It's Ubi's fault for that E3 2012 showing.

Wow that was the same exact thing I was thinking when I first saw that.
Heh, well we all know of a certain reviewer already who doesn't really care...
You talking about Gies? I saw a tweet saying he's not reviewing it for Polygon.
He did mention that he's been playing it, but "half thinking of titans."
Gotta love the Titanfall drop. lol

The UI is horrendous yes, but it's never really bothered me.
Do it. Come to the dark side.
For some reason, I think this will get mediocre reviews. I just know what to expect nowadays even though I know I'll love this one since I love the series.
It'd be funny if some of the nitpickers were just recently defending Titanfall mentioning how graphics don't mean a thing. I always enjoy the irony in that since it happens on both sides. I have Titanfall but Second Son is what I've been waiting for. To me, it's the start of a wave of games that will blow me away graphically, even as a PC gamer. I just love good games regardless of platform and I appreciate good graphics just as much.
I always get a chuckle out of the people who think this generation is underwhelming and will never blow them away graphically as if consoles are tapped out within a day of launching and this is what to expect 3 years from now even though we know Cerny specifically mentioned the untapped power he doesn't expect to see right away until they start using GPU compute more.
I really don't see how anyone could say Thief looks better regardless of the subjective nature of the topic. Honestly, I don't see how it's possible to be underwhelmed by this game at all right now considering it's open world and so early into next-gen yet is already making the Share button pretty damn popular...lol
I just feel like some people WANT to be underwhelmed for one reason or another. Graphics aren't everything and gameplay trumps all, but God does a beautiful game feel so much better. Maybe I'm just optimistic with this new generation but I don't expect this game to blow me away 3 years from now even though it's doing so today.
At least these threads aren't as bad as DriveClub threads.
loool
Yeah it's not offensive. Just seems unnecessarily large, and the spray painted treatment of the icons are kind of cheap looking and stick out like a sore thumb (especially the meter on the lower left).
im ready
What a beautiful gif.
