Nice! My panoramas come out like crap...
Doesn't look like it. On that note, do any available PS4 games use tesselation? KZ definitely doesn't, I'm wondering if Sony has actually implemented it or not.
Thanks, and how so?=O
I personally think DK has both stronger personality and animation. One of the unfortunate consequences of the 2D style of origins is that it maintains a flash like style of animation. The images and design are great, but it all looks a bit cheap in motion, and just lacks the life and vibrancy on display in Tropical Freeze.

It does have parallax occlusion mapping just not on everything, I'll try to get an example when I get the chance.

How do you know there's no tessellation in KZ? There's a fair amount of detail In the world, like rock structures, debris and character modelling. Just compare games that use it on PC like Crysis's dx11 update, how they added more geometry. Looks no different.
Three more shots by The Xtortionist, this time from the level Frosty Fruits (5-6).
Here, Donkey Kong explores a popsicle factory! In the first shot, I love the ice cubes stacked high around the paved path lined with torches under a dense jungle canopy. In the second screen, in the factory proper, we see the giant berry-flavored popsicles being produced... I'm not sure who would be large enough to eat such popsicles, but I sure want to try -- the texture looks delish! I like how you can see more popsicles on their way in the background, and I like the mishmash of plaster and brick in the foreground. In the third shot, we see fog rising from the lake of juice, chilled by the giant ice cubes, while fresh fruits dappled with moisture form makeshift platforms at the end of a long ice-glazed ramp. The torches return, each turned slightly so they're never oriented exactly the same way twice. Snowflakes flitter past the palm trees, and off to the left you can appreciate the depth of the factory with the boardwalk working its way around back. The earthy look of the factory keeps it inconspicuous in the jungle, as well.
I love how every level in DKC has its own self-contained concept that threads into the rest of the game world but stands on its own. Frosty Fruits shows one of the uses of the juice being harvested in the world Juicy Jungle -- other levels sport gelatin, for example -- and the idea of a popsicle factory is the stuff of which kids' dreams are made.

Omg, Ryse looks SO good! There's no game that impresses me the most (sorry KZ)!
DKC looks good too!
DKC looks good too!
This reminded me of:
You should hear the music from that level. It would only confirm your thought process.
Ghosts does.
Its from 5-4 Panicky Paddles iirc
Agreed with this.

Yeah more games should start implementing it, looks great. I believe Killzone: Shadow Fall has parallax occlusion mapping as well.

Ghost uses sub-d which is what pixar used on toy story. Really amazing and i hope most mid-gen games all use it.

Yes. Used not just for rock and wall scenery, but as stickers to make it look like a grenade explosion has actually damaged the level geometry:
I thought that Killzone did. I could have sworn one of the videos of the rocks in the commonly shown area showed tesselation. I could be wrong though.

I had already played this game on my Xbox 360, and even though I decided to purchase this for my PS4, I wasn't sure how much of an upgrade this would be. I have never played a game that looks this amazing, and can't wait to see what else the PS4 offers! I've been having fun taking screenshots I feel neogaf will enjoy.

Played some Ryse MP for the first time in awhile today
Notice how the rain is being lit up by the bounce lighting on his helmet. I wonder how they achieved that effect...

Pretty amazing, and one of those things that very few would even notice; I certainly didn't until you pointed it out.

Clearly you have never played Uncharted 2, 3 or the Last of Us :). All 3 of those have better visual style, and look better in motion as well.

I purchased the WiiU when it was launched... and it was worth it only to play this game. It's not only how it looks, it's also how it's designed towards a design paradigm (one that really tells the novice player "you're not good at the game, you'll have to replay it to get better") that outside of a few companies is abandoned nowadays.
Besides that, it "almost" belongs to a genre that has been killed by the masses, so supporting it is also to support a whole genre.
Considering its quality and that, I would say that buying this game an obligation to anyone that prides themselves as a gamer (and of course enjoys playing Survival Horrors, if those games aren't made for you then don't buy it).
