Quite impressed with these Knack shots as well. If only the compression was better.
Well, considering how good the screens are sometimes, 2 sometimes isn't enough.=pDid Sethos get banned in this thread?
Also, unlike the more established screenshot threads; there are two many post with an excessive number of bad screenshots.
You don't have to indiscriminately dump everything in here you know.
Posting two of the best screenshots in a single post makes the thread livelier and keeps in on the first page.
EDIT:
In, about half of the screenshots, the guys don't have shadows. Really?
What's the appeal of Wind Waker? ...I've never liked the cel shaded look.
Nintendo Land looks good in those screenshots but it has never looked that good for me in motion for some reason.
I really like how the crystal looks in this screenshot.
...the appeal is that it's cel shaded? I'm not following. I don't love it since it removes all depth of field and makes some things look 2D while others are 3D, but I know someone must love it because of X - I just am curious what that X is.I think you know the answer to your own question.
I'm really surprise how Assassin's Creed IV looks on WII U, sharp, clean with decent textures, it seems ubisoft have done a good port.

Sorry, should've specified - what is it about the visuals that is appealing? I know (and don't care) why I don't like it; I'm genuinely trying to understand why other people look at the same screenshots and like it.Are you asking what's the appeal of the game, or what's the appeal of the visuals?
Because if you're asking the appeal of the visuals and start off by saying "by the way I have a fundamental disinterest with it's art style" then you know why you don't like it.

That's fair, thanks for humoring me. I suppose looking at it more in motion might help the effect.It just looks good to many people. It's appealing, it's crisp, it's smooth, it's colorful and when in motion the animations are pretty good and Link also has quite a few facial animations (while being idle and stuff) that really bring him to life in a cartoony, interesting way.
It's absolutely absurd something like this even needs to be said, as if we're talking politics or religion.
Wind Waker's art holds up brilliantly as evident by Dolphin, but Wind Waker HD isn't just the GCN engine ported over. They did add more modern effects the GCN was incapable of rendering, like proper real time shadow casting from everything and ambient occlusions. Throwing in modern effects helps raise the bar when throwing it against PS4 games.
Fucking love the object motion blur in Shadow Fall and Knack. Looks really good. Can't wait for more games to start using object motion blur instead of cheaper effects we're used to.
Ok but this feature + DOF are the nightmare of a competitive gamer.Fucking love the object motion blur in Shadow Fall and Knack. Looks really good. Can't wait for more games to start using object motion blur instead of cheaper effects we're used to.
Killzone Shadow Fall
Ok but this feature + DOF are the nightmare of a competitive gamer.
The screenshots are disappointingly blurry coming out of the PS4. Hope they tweak that later on.
Anyone here have a capture card and a hoooked up PS4?
Still looking for loss-less captures for the upcoming thread I am making about tech.
Really could use a helping hand!
There's a few shots in this thread already.
OK, I just took a couple shots.
Here's the same area on my PC.
This first shot is taken with a mix of High and Ultra settings which produces 60 fps here. All Ultra produces 39 fps with just FXAA.
This second shot was taken with the same mix of settings with two exceptions; I used 200% resolution scaling mixed with 2x MSAA. This is the result. As you can see it looks nowhere NEAR as clean as the shot the PC shot posted above. The framerate? 9 fps. Yes, nine frames per second and I can't even touch that other PC shot.
The PS4 shot is definitely not as clean but I think it compares quite favorably especially considering how consistent its performance is. On my PC I still get plenty of jitters and hitching while playing that kind of drive me nuts (very very subtle but quite annoying). Most PC gamers wouldn't be bothered by it I'm sure but it bothers me.
PS4
Interestingly, when alt-tabbing between the shots, the PS4 shot has more geometry detail than my PC shots.
This is a challenging shot, though, as the vegetation is bathed in light which makes it more prone to aliasing even when using super high-end settings for image quality. I'm not even confident that the other PC shot is achievable in game. It looks like it was captured at a higher resolution along with maximum settings and then downscaled with a good image editor.
A comparisson I just make in my computer (ultra means ultra, so msaax4 is applied)
And you aren't missing geometry or texture details either lol.
This isn't a screenshot and it's not 1080p, but it is 60fps.
Also 6 megabytes

Low quality screens do not do this game justice, I could spend all day staring at the skin and basketballs in this game.
That small room with volumetric light is one of the most demanding scenes in the game in terms of performance.
Dark10x screenshots don't have those dynamic clothes in the ceiling. I don't know the reason. PS4 shot is good enough, but using same settings in pc version achieve a absurdly high framerate. That small room with volumetric light is one of the most demanding scenes in the game in terms of performance.
It's crazy how hard my framerate tanks looking at that tree.
Wind Waker is unreal. Still the GOAT
