The orbital drop is a damn cool attack.

Really?? Uuuuuugghhh. The story is going to horrible in that game. GG has the worst writing and narrative direction of any AAA studio out there.
Anyway, Infamous. Here's hoping the game is even a fraction as fun to play as it is gorgeous.

Thanks mate, didn't know there was a thread, sorry for the off topic. You can edit that out now if you like.

Infamous really gets better as you unlock more powers, gliding through the cities and icejumping all over the place was just awesome.
The difference between Infamous and GTA, RDR, and my fav franchise AC is Infamous gives you a playground to make you feel like a superhero-esque badass. It's not a game where you stop and smell the roses. There is no real reason for Infamous to be the same sandbox as GTA or RDR.
Strange though...even though I love AC it's about as repetitive as you can get in an open world setting. That goes for all AC titles.

Infamous is like Mega Man X. Starts out with bare powers, then you get stronger with upgrades and powers.

Its just too bad watchdogs will have superior gameplay, which is what matters anyway.
For all your rambling about gameplay, you sure as hell didn't give inFamous 2 a chance. The game improves constantly with all the new powers you keep getting and there's plenty of variety in different types of missions. You hadn't really seen anything if you only played half an hour of it (do you even get much farther than the intro with the beast in half an hour?).The game doesn't really feel the same by the end as it does in the start.
Also, this is a graphics related thread where graphics are discussed about. Gameplay & the game overall are discussed in the Official Thread & the spoiler thread. And, just as a btw, the game has been getting plenty of great gameplay impressions and people saying it's a more or less big jump over the previous two (and a half) games in the franchise. It's pretty evident from the videos already that they've made plenty of improvements into the gameplay, especially how you can move/traverse with Delsin (which affects other aspects of gameplay, like combat).
The two aren't really comparable in the gameplay department. Watch_Dogs seems to have more emphasis on stealth, inFamous is more IN YOUR FACE action. Both can be equally great at what they do and it only comes down to preference which you like more. So I doubt Watch_Dogs' gameplay can be said to be ultimately superior. For some inFamous with all its destruction & mayhem & super-powers-influenced traversal will be the more fun game, others might like the slower-paced hacker/stealth-gameplay of Watch_Doge more.
Besides, it's a Ubisoft game. They are very hit & miss with their games and Watch_Dogs was already delayed once due to it not being on par with even Ubisoft sometimes not-the-highest standards. You can't really say it at this point that Watch_Dogs has the better gameplay when we haven't really seen too much of the (current state of the) game.
They hired New Vegas' lead writer.

They hired the write of fallout new vegas for it
Is it weird to you that two games can have different gameplay in the same genre? I can enjoy Watch Dogs and Infamous at the same time. Is it weird that I'm excited for both? How about if I tell you I like vanilla and chocolate, would your face melt?

There was a reason why that game was delayed.

Thankfully they hired someone that's still not in high school, as mentioned above. How GG still has such terrible writers and why they didn't replace them long ago.. no one knows. You have to wonder why the series has such an interesting lore and such shit actual execution behind it. :\
That behaviour is expected when a game looks this great.
What is this blasphemy you speak of
. This game just looks so damn good, can't wait to get my hands on it.Raven Prime

How about 120fps and 1440p, yet alas we have to be realistic about these sort of things. We are talking about a gorgeous looking open world game here.

I've seen videos of Watch Dogs, and uhhhh, it's definitely a game that plays... I'll give you that.

No it isn't. Graphics for the most part are not part opinion based. I guess you must the guy who tells a math professor 2+2=5 but you can't be wrong.. because it's your opinion?
If you're talking about its reveal graphics, there's a discussion to be had in place. But now with what we saw, not really. I still think Watch_Dogs looks great, it just doesn't look as good as this.

DrBo42, can you give some quick impressions on how the game plays? Do you like, enjoying it, etc? Don't spoil anything for me, something was spoiled (I think) for me in one of the inFamous threads and I'm not going into any of them until the game is out (other than this one). You play the previous two, do you see this as an improvement?
well said! I agree
I really wish I could understand how some of theses people can live their lives with these crazy thought processes..It's really fucking annoying to see some of these stupid comments. Can some of you think for a second?
This is a thread about the....graphics. Can you point out the people who are acting like graphics is the end all be all?
This is a thread about the....graphics. And how can you know the ins and outs of the gameplay within 30 minutes? And how do you base the entire new game in the series off of that 30 minutes of the last game? As someone who plays fighting and action games all the time, this makes no sense at all.
Comments like these just drive me crazy. Think about what thread you enter and what you're typing.
This is a thread about graphics.....and guess what? Games can have good gameplay AND graphics at the same time. Crazy, I know.

Have you played Watch Dogs...?

Yeah i just did another 30 minutes of researching this game from all the available media thus far and i just keep getting more amazed at what SP has done with this game. The in-game effects are just marvelous. I especially like the smoke effects from balls of fire during day time environments..the thick lush black inky smoke looks phenomenal.
Also another thing i really dig is the textures being used in this game. Materials textures used for cloths are so perfect..photo-realistic in all honesty along with the textures used on environments seem as if you could literally touch them with your hands..that's how good they look..best way i can explain it i guess.
The game is definitely worthy of purchase and the story seems to have some soul to it finally ..which will help make this game more engaging.

im ready
It's the beanie that makes it God tier work
Once again the master nails it
The lighting in this game is one of those features that defines next gen for me, subtle in one sense but once you've seen it everything else just looks wrong and 'last gen'. It also opens up the possibility for new game mechanics such as was once seen in Dark Souls 2 (ie see where I'm going or have a shield ready to defend myself). Or imagine a Battlefield game where illumination flares or NV goggles were a necessity to fight at night with dozens of dynamic light sources from muzzle flashes and fires illuminating the field?

Watch_Dogs is hamstrung by only having 1000 ppl working on it compared to the 120ish ppl at Sucker Punch
All numbers made up

Hey man i forgot to ask, cutscenes update depending on the time/weather since all but 4 are not realtime right?
600 on Watch_Dogs
90 on Second Son
SHADOWS!
Lord have mercy!! Never seen these shots...the shadows are so well done. This game is so damn clean too!
Well there's no day/night cycle. Everything is set between chapters if you want to call them that. The cutscenes I believe are realtime but time of day/lighting is already set.
