And I know, I know, the hefty edits are supposed to be a no but for a moment its nice to imagine a sharp AC on consoles. Added contrast and sharpness

Always blown away by how 2D animated this looks. They should be crazy proud of how much it looks like real cartoon visuals

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. I think I remember hearing the folks developing Bloodstained were looking to emulate GG Xrd's cell shading style. Hopefully they succeed!
 
Xenoblade CX is freaking amazing. It's one of those games where they knew their hardware limits and developed around it. Never overstepped and sacrificed performance. Everything that isn't technically impressive visually is help along by visual style.

I really don't think it was the hardware limits, it's more like budget limits, it's a open world game that has small niche audience, it's not getting the same budget a big aaa western open world would.

How is it any different than any of the Photomode shots in here?

I might be the one of few people in here--hell, I might be the only one--that sort of dislike the Photomode shots in here. They're not really actually "Screenshots", they're "Enhanced/Altered Screenshots" in the sense that they are not really representative of what the actual game are capable of producing in gameplay scenario. It's like bullshots, pictures used by publishers to make their game look better in promotional materials--not really what I have in mind when I want to see actual screenshots of a game.

Sorry--this post is not intended as a dig to anyone posting Photomode shots in here... it's just the way I honestly feel about things.
 
Nope, a lot of people seem to dislike photomode shots. I'm pretty sure I've seen people complain about them in this thread more than once. I like them though. Besides, aren't the only games that change image quality during photomode the racing games?

Hmmm I'm pretty sure the likes of Infamous also alter the graphic quality--well, at the very least, providing the user with the tools to beautify their image, which of course people will use, which of course will again produce screenshots not representative of what the actual game is capable of.

Ahh... sorry about the small rant. It's just that I appreciate non-photomode shots a lot more in this thread and just want to air my opinion a bit about that.
 

This is the future for nextgen graphics right here. if they can do this at 900p/60fps, then we're gonna see many games matching these graphics in the next few years at 30fps/1080p. Hopefully it will be like when uncharted released on ps3, where it blew everything away, but in the next few years games were looking as good or much better.
 
I've read it's about 3 hours long, but I'm taking my time and there's some replayability (trophies, higher difficulty levels). It even has local co-op for up to four players. :) It was initially released on PC and the very positive Steam reviews convinced me to make a purchase. Plays great - gangsters vs. zombies with plenty of dark humour. :) And it's not that easy even on the normal difficulty setting.

I dont see anything that impressive in that screen. Maybe the lighting is great but if we are talking fidelity and such this is just a few rocks and textures (which aint that amazing themselves) and a 3D Destroyer in the background.

It looks great and I know SW Battlefront looks awesome and has great tech, but that specific image right there, when I look at it, I dont get that "this is the future for next gen gfx" vibe.

That lighting is amazing, and that alone makes the pic look like a movie. lighting and iq will be the most important tech this gen in making a game look amazing. If you apply that lighting in most realistic games, that gives them a huge leap in graphics alone.

Sure I agree but we already have lots of games that due to their lighting , you can mistake them for real life pictures. Driveclub and even MGS can be photorealistic at times.

Thing is that that particular pic was not that impressive because it really didnt feature much expect some rocks and an object in the background.

My point is that lots of SW battlefront pics from endor and other vistas are more deserving of the praise you gave.

That said though, that pic impressed you more than it did me, nothing worng with that, dont misunderstand me. ;)

Other than freezing the scene and custom camera angles with depth of field, infamous is not enhancing the in-game graphics at all. It's pretty much just the racing games that enhance the image beyond what we see during gameplay.

And it's why people tag their shots as photomode, to actually allow us to differentiate between the two.

In saying that, I wouldn't be against a gameplay only thread and a photomode only thread.

900p60 requires more processing power than 1080p30 though.

When I visited the place in the first screenshot, I was low level and had a nope-moment. The creepy music didn't help.

idk I've just seen someone say edits are bad here, photomode is fine

i like photomode and I think a raw screenshot thread would be a lot less interesting than this mix where we tag them as gameplay/photomode
