I'm sure the compression doesn't help
It's not that bad. It looks pretty sharp and crisp on my TV. The issue I have is that sometimes during cutscenes, the framerate will dip, but during the actual fighting, the framerate seems rock solid. The fighters look pretty good, but the NPCs look like booty. It's certainly no Killzone or ACIV (and ACIV isn't really that amazing looking, but the environments are great)

This one came around the corner and walked directly into a crate rambling on about how much she'd love a cup of coffee.. I went off and picked a lock, looted a house, and on the way back she's still there walking into the crate going on about the miserable weather now.... if she's there next time i enter that area, she's getting an arrow directly into her eyeball.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Killzone has been using parallax mapping since at least (I'm pretty sure) Killzone 2 in some capacity, usually standard bullet holes in stuff like metal. Looks really cool. I know it's in Mercenaries, because I was impressed the Vita was pulling it off.
It's strange the effect is so sparingly used. It was used heavily in FEAR, and that was almost a decade ago.

I've played it and could barely tell it was 1080p because of how damn ugly it looks. Being crisp just really shows how poor the art in that game really was. You could tell me these screens are from the PS3 or Wii U versions and I'd believe you.

How about an arrow in the knee?

*shrugs* To each his own. I've seen and played worse looking games on the PS4. As I said before, I think the character models look good, except for some of the women's faces (mainly Wonder Woman and Raven's), and the environments are really nice as well. The fighting is a lot of fun, better than I was expecting, honestly.

Your screenshots aren't exactly helping your argument. I dare say this is the worst looking game in the entire thread.
I was really impressed with this sequence.
Best part of the main missions.
Dislike that Mary had to die though.
Do you like this game? I just bought it on Amazon because it was only $29.99, but I still have time to cancel it if it's not good. I love 3D platformers, but haven't been very into most Sonic games, if that gives you some perspective.
I'm not making an argument in the first place. I'm not trying to prove some kind of point about Injustice, I'm just sharing screenshots. PS4 screens are pretty compressed on Facebook and Twitter, and the games often don't look as great in screens as they do on a TV. Even the amazing Killzone screenshots from this thread look better on screen.
They do if you have a good capture card.=p
As was I. Loved it and moments like it, think we certainly need to see more moments like it. Going to do a retrospective thread about AC4 and am certainly going to talk about that sequence.I was really impressed with this sequence.
I know, right? Sadly, I don't have a capture card. I also noticed that the screens I grabbed from my Facebook weren't full screen shots, so I replaced them.
Here's a few random ones from my collection (I may have posted them before, but not full resolution):
Final Fantasy XIV Beta:
Assassin's Creed IV:
Killzone: Shadowfall:

Killzones awesome.
Thief looks really good to me, I'm quite impressed, unfortunately the gameplay sounds mediocre. Might play it one day for the pretty visuals.
Heres a shot from AC4, horrible compression aside it looks great on my Plasma. Makes me excited for a next gen Mirrors Edge.
NBA 2k (PS4)

Unlike most people here, I quite love this game. It's easily one of the best (and best looking) Wii U games. I'm also not really into Sonic games, always been a Mario guy, but I personally find this one way better than the abomination that was Unleashed, and even Generations. It's a much slower paced and platform-y game than the other recent Sonic games and that's what I like about it. Plus Sonic gets all of his moves right from the start, no need to buy/unlock them or any of that leveling BS.
So yeah, I'd say go for it.

Now, this is EXACTLY what I like to hear. Thanks man! Will keep the order as your tastes sound similar to mine.
Great screenshots, too! Love the art style in this game.
^^^ Gorgeous shot! <3 Amiss Abyss. Fantastic art/animation and incredible music!
Here's more of my own shots, from Homecoming Hijinks (6-1), Rockin' Relics (4-A), and Aqueduct Assault (6-3). Check out the ice on the palm tree!

Played some Ryse MP for the first time in awhile today
This shot is amazing. Graphics are gorgeous and the dude on the left looks like John Locke from Lost.

Donkey Kong looks very nice, but I do wish it had some AA. Then it would feel even more solid and real. But I'm willing to forgive some jaggies for stuff like this:
Whatever art designer decided to make that dual mace out of two pufferfish jammed on a stick, he deserves a damn raise. It's clever, it's funny, and it ties in with the pufferfish from the underwater level. Top notch creative work.

a screenshot is hardly a valid way to judge or compare graphics nowadays. you can point out certain aspects of a games graphics, but while doing that you will always hide others. we have come to a point where per pixel information density is so high, that stills simply aren't a good representation of whats really going on on screen.
ac4 maybe is a good example for that. all the screens of it in this topic look absolutely horrid, yet people seem to be impressed with its graphics.
Do you have 120 bucks to spend?=Ono Powerstar Golf in this thread? i have literally the worst shots to show it off, but something is better than nothing.
who wants to buy me a capture card. i'll quit shitting up your threadnot the nicest looking game to begin with i guess. it gets the job done.
If only Powerstar Golf had a demo.

Seems like when it comes to consoles, a majority of users in this thread post PS4 snaps.

I feel your problem is the general art direction of Injustice. That, or you're purposely looking over some of these Thief screen shots.
An uncompressed screen will always look the same as it does on your display since you are capturing it directly. Everything you see on screen can be captured and replicate what you're seeing. From motion blur to particle effects and such screenshots still capture everything perfectly, using a great capture card makes it more simple as well. My Ryse screens are proof of this.
Also just take multiple screens in a row to capture many moments at once, like there are programs that auto capture infinite screens so you can compare them as well, best way to get screens while in motion.=p
Just about all the AC4 shots in this thread are compressed or have some compression(no offense) due to the PS4's/Wii U's capturing or encoded signals from external capture cards.

The Xbone does not have a screenshot capture option unlike the PS4/WiiU.
Lucky a couple of Xbone owners have capture cards.

Heh, that reminded me of this Tomb Raider shot I took a while ago.
Something seems amiss.
for me personally this isn't much of a problem when the game is actually in motion. I noticed that with DKC:TF and Mario 3D World the jaggies that are seen in some stills are not noticeable while the games are in motion at 60fps

I am not ignorant of the effects of compression, nor am I unaware that certain titles suffer more from it than others. I myself have posted nearly 100 shots in this thread.
Or, I could simply be of different opinion.
That would be an awesome reaction image.
That golf game looks nice. What system is it for? I like the character designs -- reminds me of Pixar's The Incredibles.
Xbox One. sorry. will add that to my post.
its really quite good. if you simply cant commit without trying out a demo first, and if it ever gets a price drop like LocoCycle or Zoo Tycoon did, then i wholeheartedly recommend picking it up. it recently got an update that added in a lot of features/items/fixes that makes it well worth the standard asking price, IMO.
