No it wont. Watch Dogs on PC will not look like the initial reveal either.
Too bad that Crytek hasn't made a good game after the original Crysis.

This is easily my most hyped next-gen game.
Graphics look beautiful.

Uhmm no. Gameplay is the same quality.
They sure do look nice though. Otherwise you wouldn't be posting them in an Infamous thread presumably.
You seriously need to learn how to read and after that you might discover why Crysis was mentioned in the first place.
And you seriously need to learn that you running about in every other thread getting hot and bothered over your PC shots is pretty funny.

But you would buy the Xbox 1 for $499?
Amazing people keep calling this bullshot. Go watch E3 gameplay footage, then you won't be able to call this bullshot.
Why is it always like this in the beginning of every gen? People just don't believe what they see. Just look at the specs of the console, it's completely reasonable it's able to pull off this much. It can even do much better than this. The same happened with PS3/X360 graphics, and those games look bad by the gen's standards today.

Why isn't this buffoon banned yet? You're in here fucking up the thread for shits and giggles?
Looks like genuine screen caps, OP screens rendered at 3200x1800 or more probably. edit: 5760x3240 - damn.
These screens are downsampled from 5760x3240.
Here it is at original size:

So yes, bullshots.

Bullshots look unnaturally smooth.
Real screenshots have some amount of jagged edges in them.
But AntiAliasing helps reducing them.

I really wish this was a launch game. Launch day, I mean.
Where is the lie?
His superior Godly looks and sexy talented voice alone makes this game one of the best of next gen.
You're damn right about that. I hope we get some shirtless Troy Baker action in this game.

The graphics look awkwardly dissonant when you compare the landscape to the character faces.
Really takes away from the attempt to immerse you in the world.

I think it has more to do with pc fans who made silly comments about how ps4 wasnt going to be able to come close to pc games visually using a 1.84tflop and jaguar cpu. Now first gen games are looking really nice they have to claim bullshots or claim its been ran on a high powered pc dev kit.
Its human nature.
It's really is quite annoying, but it is what it is. some just like to rain on othe people's parade... it's the thing to do.
Most of them won't be happy till they see it in person with a HUD. Nothng else will convince them that's it's real time otherwise... and you know what, even if it looks really good they'll throw in a little comment in an attempt to knock it down a peg or two. They already have a bias toward a game they consider the "best looking game" and can't stand when another game is said to be just that.
The big problem is that the next gen isn't here yet, all we have are these initial screens. No one is really sure what they can do. Probably, fingers crossed, in a few years when screens of a new game come out and the devs say it real... we can look at said screens and know that's possible.
That was obvious, but good to see it confirmed.
The shots posted by Arukado above do look plausible, with significant aliasing particularly on foliage.

And these are obviously mostly gameplay.
There is a bit of a difference with cutscenes. But that's normal.
5760x3240 is not a "cutscene vs gameplay" difference. It's a realtime vs not realtime one.

Or people just aren't blind and can tell when screens are downsampled
But why is that even worth pointing out when nearly every developer does it for nearly every game? It's a common industry practice that isn't going to go away.
The shots are (as far as I can tell) from this file:
http://www.gamersyde.com/leech_30290_1_en.html
Sony sent us a truncated .mov file (still 3 GB) using the prores codec. I managed to salvage the video stream and reencode it to that HQ video. I couldn't get the sound though, and of course it cuts off before the end of the gameplay.
Easy: to protect those that don't. Just go into any thread where a developer dares to post non-bullshots before release. It also helps in keeping the discussion honest.
I'm a strong advocate of pointing these things out in the thread title. "New bullshots/target renders/actual screenshots" used when necessary. There are some devs still who give us real footage of their games and those should be rewarded in a sense. It will also educate people on what bullshots and downsampling mean.
Hahah, oh boy, no. Crysis 3 is not some be all end all, and it's very clearly bound by limitations in design that come from being designed around the last gen bottle necks. People love to post that ugly bald picture of Psycho with his noticeably low poly head as if it means anything. It's pretty funny that the actually game has a lot of rough edges and elements that are currently being surpassed with ease.
Or the equally, poorly animated, and obviously stiff and low poly flashlight gif. I mean I guess people are just compensating for the actual game being nothing special but give it a rest.
And frankly, that Killzone model you say 'looks nothing special compared to Crysis' is murdering it in poly count, texture res, hell probably shaders, everything. Having an absurd hard on art direction in Crysis 3 will only take you so far before, eventually, the walls of reality will have to close in around you.
Great, so the thread is instantly derailed.
No it would mean nobody would have to state the obvious nor argue against it. People could focus on commenting the assets and art style of the game. And like stated most PR screenshots are bullshots so it's not like people would blame the devs too much.

i wasn't talking about the OP screens
. i think the top one from the ones i reacted to is from a cutscene. The images posted by op are press-shots (aka touched up/ bullshots).Would be better if one was as precise as possible when commenting on released media.
People's interpretation of what bullshot means varies, with some just thinking downsampling and others thinking it's a target render with no underlying game-engine below it.
