I hope we can turn film grain off. I never was a fan.

 

[Namikaze1]

Sweet mother of god! I need this game in my PS4 like right now!

 

[Krusenstern]

What kind of innovations is this game bringing to the genre?

Let me watch these 5 second gifs to count all the innovations in them. I'll get back to you soon.

 

[MercuryLS]

How do you know its real time?

Because they've said time and time again that everything uses real-time assets, including cutscenes. There are no "cutscene graphics" and "gameplay graphics".

 

[D4Danger]

Sony should trademark that. "Real time CG".

it's a terrible strain on the animator's wrists

 

[OldRoutes]

Let me watch these 5 second gifs and to count all the innovations in them.

I meant, from what we know so far?

 

[jacksepticeye]

it's cg in real time.

Character models are impressive as hell

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

The fuck

Don't quote it. Use the wrong picture.

 

[Amir0x]

How do you know its real time?

.

Our game models and our cinematic models are one and the same, and everything is rendered real time in the engine as you play the game. The trailer we presented is a great example of that. What you saw is running in-engine, in-game with no gimmicks. These visuals are what you can expect of the final game when you play it.

They said it's the entire game, no gimmicks. I'm not sure how much wiggle room they have when they say that

 

[alr1ght]

I bet RAD is so grateful to not be relegated to handheld dev.

 

[Coolwhip]

But people aren't going nuts over a GIF, they're going nuts over the promise of direct feed gameplay footage tomorrow after waiting months for it.

It's like....if Scarlett Johansson was releasing a 1080p porno tomorrow and a 3 second gif of her in some lingerie got leaked on the internet. I wouldn't exactly be complaining about her being dressed.

Well to go with this comparison, I would say the leaked gif shows Scarlett playing chess. Or, nevermind I suck at that.

 

[Tom Penny]

Why do some pictures look blurry or some weird filter. I thought this was an exclusive?

 

[nelsonroyale]

How do you know its real time?

Pretty sure they talked about doing their cutscenes in real time and mostly seemless tranistions. The trailer released at E3 was real time apparently. They showed it to the press.

Anyway, looks incredible and I have a hard time believing it like you. I mean they could almost make an animated movie with these visuals...

 

[Booty Patrol]

You know it's single player right? You could still 'play together' of course, taking turns, so maybe you know.

single-player only.

Wish it did have co-op or multiplayer though.

oh.

 

[Kinyou]

It sure looks amazing. Not really much else to tell from those gifs. The QTE seems a little weird, why are there no button prompts for all the punching and kicking but suddenly for dodging? BF3 did it similar and I never liked it

 

[Sid]

Holy shit! release the direct feed gameplay already Sony!

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Yes. I just feel like the majority of third person cover shooters just have no thought put behind the level design. It's basically 50 rectangular or square rooms with waist high cover thrown wherever the fuck cause it really doesn't matter.

It's been boring since the beginning of cover based shooters. What developers should be aiming for is making something similar to the multiplayer in the first gears of war. That shit was hot and hasn't been replicated since.

Idk, I'm playing ME2 right now and it seems pretty good for a somewhat cover based shooter. I like to run and gun in multiplayer games, but if it's linear, cover shooting isn't so bad. I'm not saying this game will break any traditions but I think, because we haven't had a true successor to the cover based system, to kill the negative grips around them, its the only reason why we dismiss them I guess. I think it makes a cinematic game like this more, intense. Some people may get bored of it, but it seems like a very good design to push the story along imo.

 

[Buckethead]

Looks good.

Hope the gun/gameplay is as good as the visuals.

 

[Krusenstern]

I meant, from what we know so far?

We know nothing about any "innovations" yet.

 

[NullPointer]

Because they've said time and time again that everything uses real-time assets, including cutscenes. There are no "cutscene graphics" and "gameplay graphics".

They said it's the entire game, no gimmicks. I'm not sure how much wiggle room they have when they say that

Well holy hell.

 

[The Omega Man]

I hope this game triggers a new era of bearded men, we are overdue for true gentlemen new look

 

[Prelude.]

Why do some pictures look blurry or some weird filter. I thought this was an exclusive?

I don't even know what this post means.

 

[Batigol]

Looks like any other linear corridor shooter

 

[megabytecr]

lol at the reactions. Overreacting?

I think they are nailing the atmosphere, looks great. For the rest (gameplay and story) too early to tell.

 

[prwxv3]

The gameplay in past RAD games were great i Donny know why that would suddenly change just because their next game is a third person shooter.

 

[iceatcs]

The gif is shaking, what purpose? copyright protection?

 

[Elchele]

Looks like any other linear corridor shooter

GOTY innit

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Hmm... that was the wrong thing to say, and not exactly what I meant, now that I think of it. I guess it's just easier to notice the gross stuff when everything else looks so good.

Yeah, I get that. It's a shame that it has some blemishes but this is a bit like inFamous to me, I wont be satisfied until I see it nice, crisp and 1080p on my television screen. I just found it odd there were so many posts about a bad row when the rest were gorgeous.

Guess people have different reactions to the hype train, you either dislike the unrelenting praise of an initial reveal or you hop straight on.

 

[Chamber]

It's probably a counter response to people going nuts with excitement over a gif that shows cover shooting and QTEs. It would be pretty sad if this 'NEXT GEN' game revolves around 2 pretty lame/boring/uninspired gameplay mechanics. It's like AAA developers have 2 options these days: make FPS, make 3rd person cover shooter.

A counter response to people getting excited. I don't even....

 

[nelsonroyale]

A counter response to people getting excited. I don't even....

Too many cover based shooters released on next gen...Hang on, this is probably the first....

 

[viveks86]

I bet RAD is so grateful to not be relegated to handheld dev.

And this is their first foray into console gaming…

 

[Tobor]

There we have it. The biggest release of Fall 2014, confirmed.

 

[silver.tongue]

Including you of course.

This is GAF at it's best. I love this stuff.

 

[teiresias]

One thing is for sure, judging by these GIFs I'm glad I'll be playing this on a plasma with great black levels. I can't imagine playing a game that dark on a crappy backlit LCD.

 

[Respawn]

Its over folks. Complain all you want naysayers but its over. Only going to go uphill from here. The chips are blessed.

 

[Creaking]

Yeah, I get that. It's a shame that it has some blemishes but this is a bit like inFamous to me, I wont be satisfied until I see it nice, crisp and 1080p on my television screen. I just found it odd there were so many posts about a bad row when the rest were gorgeous.

I think most of those posts were just lighthearted joking.

 

[Bunta]

Why do some pictures look blurry or some weird filter. I thought this was an exclusive?

I don't even know what this post means.

Yeah, I'm not sure, either.

 

[0ptimusPayne]

I love how his uniform cloth moves based on the recoil of the rifle. I hope there are tons of small details in this game!

 

[viveks86]

The gif is shaking, what purpose? copyright protection?

The GIF can't handle its own hype.

 

[Barzul]

This is honestly making me reevaluate my decision to purchase an Xbox One.

 

[kittens]

I know this game is SUPPOSED to be gloomy, but I'm kind of sick of gloomy environments in games. I hope there's some variety. This is an alternate universe London, right? Give us a little sunshine and some jetskis or something.

 

[jacksepticeye]

The GIF can't handle its own hype.

Giffening intensifies

 

[Donthizz#]

so far so good loving everything, now for some actual gameplay footage, not sure I can wait till the deadline, need more....... leaks!!

 

[Krisprolls]

Looks like any other linear corridor shooter

Just ten times more beautiful.

Your post looks like any other in this thread though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is only one of the great games coming this year. Going to heat up with some of these great games.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

There were just as many AAA platformers and open world games than 3rd person shooters last year. There are plenty of other genres out there for you to enjoy.

 

[chancellor]

Sony exclusives always look amazing, this is no exception

 

[Hidden One]

it's cg in real time.

No...way.....

 

[Jotaka]

 

[RibMan]

Yeah, I'm not sure, either.

I (assume) it's an Xbox One joke.

On topic, the new .gif looks marvelous!
