it really does look genuinely impressive, especially the lighting (flashlight, whoa).

 

[GeoramA]

Very, very good and this still has probably a year or less left to ship.

That's what impresses me the most. How polished it looks already.

 

[googleplex]

Mid-range PC indeed.

 

[legacyzero]

Wow, this looks great!

 

[Empty]

absolutely love the ambiance created by the muted light of the lantern and candles in the dusty, cold rooms. i hope that's what they are going for when they talk about the horror aspects of the game.

 

[FourMyle]

Fuck. I really hope we get some gameplay footage before the year is up.

Game looks stunning. The setting is incredibly appealing.

Dunno why people are calling this game steampunk though. It really isn't.

 

[Goldrusher]

Add to OP.

You forgot the last one.

 

[Ryuuga]

I think CA is going to be the new cool-to-hate graphical feature for this generation just as bloom was once upon a time. That said, none of these features are bad when used in moderation or when mood, tone and setting is taken into consideration.

 

[Portugeezer]

Mid-range PC indeed.

Oh snap.

 

[Lord Error]

You forgot the last one.

Lol, they are quite subtle with it in the actual gameplay screens though. I really like how they've implemented it.

 

[i-Lo]

Looks beautiful and I love the visual noise filter.

 

[Chuck Norris]

You forgot the last one.

Eh, it gives the whole image and world a very cohesive look for mine.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Mid-range PC indeed.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Looks freaking amazing! O_O

 

[Portugeezer]

You forgot the last one.

I actually like chromatic aberration, although I would concede that it can be quite hit and miss.

 

[Goldrusher]

[velociraptor]

I don't really know how you can't appreciate this in stills even. I'm struggling to think of a game with this type of visuals that looks better. From that short video clip last week I thought it looked less rich and saturated in detail than TLOU, now that makes me sound like an idiot.

It's even more insane that RAD is basically a small team, I had no idea they'd be able of producing something like this.

See: Killzone 2. Looks horrible in screenshots, yet beautiful in motion.

The Order looks great to me to me in screenshots but it was the reveal trailer that seriously impressed me. It practically looked CG. However, I have faith that's exactly what we will see in game. The assets look the same, and the post-processing looks high quality.

 

[FourMyle]

You forgot the last one.

? This is fucking idiotic. It is most definitely not that bad in the game.

 

[Goldrusher]

? This is fucking idiotic. It is most definitely not that bad in the game.

It's bad enough to notice it.

You honestly think the left looks better? Because that's the original:

 

[∀ Narayan]

Looks fantastic. Definitely keeping my eye on this one. They definitely need to tone the chromatic aberration down, though.

 

[Chuck Norris]

It's bad enough to notice it.

What am I supposed to notice in this picture?

 

[FourMyle]

Thanks for proving how subtle and tastefully done the CA in this game is.

 

[cyborg009]

What am I supposed to notice in this picture?

Look at her forehead.

 

[Dictator93]

What am I supposed to notice in this picture?

You serious?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

You serious?

I'm pretty sure he is, because he is not alone.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

It's bad enough to notice it.

I honestly can't tell the difference between the two. :/

 

[xenogenesis]

Coming along nicely.

 

[roMonster]

Its not like its Payday2 levels of subtle.

 

[DeltaJay]

I really need this. Do we have a release timeframe? Or just sometime in 2014?

 

[∀ Narayan]

I honestly can't tell the difference between the two. :/

Look at the edges of the character's face.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is some serious nitpicking despite what some think of chromatic aberration.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Look at the edges of the character's face.

I see nothing. I feel like I'm literally seeing the same image twice.

 

[GameSeeker]

The screen shots look quite nice, but the Chromatic Aberration looks absolutely horrible.

Photography is a hobby of mine and I make sure to remove any Chromatic Aberration that shows up in my pics. Heck, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO Optics and dozens of other tools automatically remove Chromatic Aberration.

Chromatic Aberration is caused by a DEFECT in the lens design (more correctly, imperfections). The fact that RAD is actually adding DEFECTS to their pristine pictures makes the artist in me very sad.

 

[DeltaJay]

I see nothing. I feel like I'm literally seeing the same image twice.

The edges are clearer on the second pic on the woman's face. The first looks like some kind of reddish feedback.

 

[SniperHunter]

I don't like the black borders. Theyncan damage ny plasma screen.


I might have to cancel my pre order

Pristine cinematography is dated and gross. Plenty of directors add a bit of flaw and grit to the image

 

[AngryBird]

Extremely nitpicking... I noticed it after 2 min looking at the picture.

What is CA actually supposed to do? Cheap AA?

I actually think it looks really well when the BG is out of focus. It blends better. The right one is too sharp, and makes contrast with the bg.

 

[evilalien]

I don't like the black borders. Theyncan damage ny plasma screen.

Do you refuse to watch movies on your TV too? This seems like an odd thing to be concerned about.

 

[PFD]

The art direction in this game is godlike

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Look at the edges of the character's face.

Wow, I literally had to get super close to my monitor to actually see(barely) this CA. Seriously, about 1 foot away.

 

[velociraptor]

eh, I highly doubt 1-2 hour gaming sessions will damage your plasma screen.

 

[Raptor]

Indeed, 3 hours max.

 

[KORNdoggy]

Lol. Dude must not play much at all. Unless his plasma is ancient it's a non issue anyway.

 

[xenorevlis]

Props to RAD for being open about their development. While a lot of developers tend to do "making of" videos they often don't show too much of the actual pipeline process this early on. For a while I myself was unsure of what or when to post things during development but I think this format has helped me form a better idea.

Really excited to see the engine at work. Hopefully the technology is from SSM and thus open to others working with them.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Here ya go:

Pretty good; the logo might just be a tad too opaque tho.

Quite nice, gradient touch w/ light sepia splashes are a plus.

 

[frizby]

You post the oddest stuff.

Unless your plasma is pre-2004 or so, you have nothing to worry about.

 

[SniperHunter]

Lol. Dude must not play much at all. Unless his plasma is ancient it's a non issue anyway.

I use it carefully. All settings set.to maximize life. No image retention so far

 

[CaptainTiptop]

So this game looks pretty beautiful. I dig the effects and filters, too.

My only worry about the aspect ratio is it'll look super small if I remote play'd it to my Vita. Although, I guess with a game that looks this good, I'd probably want to play it exclusively on my TV anyway.

 

[Rushersauce]

GIMME GIMME!!!!

 

[dancrane212]

Wow, game looks incredible! I really hope the next Mass Effect has film grain at least half as good.
