Just for anybody wondering or unsure, here is Infamous Second Son, one with photo mode on, and one during gameplay, just to show for sure that they aren't doing anything to improve the IQ.
I don't think anyone said they were.
Tell me this is a joke post? ...you can NOT be serious? ...as stated by many other posters, there aren't any added technical visual effects aside from adjusting DOF. I really don't see how any of the shots posted are misinformative in ANY WAY.
...I still can't get over this post. It's amazing.
Edit: holy shit, thank you vanwinkle.
Maybe read better.
I'll try to explain ONE more time in the most reasonable way i can (cause there is no agenda towards any console or game here).
Photomode in Infamous is AWESOME. I wish this feature will make it in any game possible. I have a great deal of fun with it. Like i had in Zelda and other games.
BUT: i look in this thread to see how the literally game looks while playing the game.
Adding DoF and even changing the perspective is not how it looks while you play the game. It has nothing to do with technical enhancements (like in Forza). What i was opting for, as merely a suggestion, is to keep this particular thread limited to just screenshots that were made while just playing the game. So without different perspective, viewpoint, enhancements, colourgrades, etc. Not because i don't like it. But just to keep the thread as pure as possible. There are dedicated photomode threads.
I, and i think others, look at this thread to maybe help decide the game they will buy. They might get confused how the game actually looks.
Again. Not a big deal in any way, untill people start to react sensitive to a question that wasn't merely a suggestion for this thread ;p.
I hope you understand what i mean now. It is in no way a big deal.
Yup this is precisely what I have been trying to point out. The comparisons to Forza 5 photo mode are off base and duplicitous.
That's because you don't read. Everybody here in this thread knows Forza adds AA and stuff to make the game look BETTER than it actually does.
We all know Infamous doesn't that's not the point though.
Anyway, just putting "photomode" above the post is a simple and good solution maybe.
