Detroit rises, hermits fall.

And a new graphics king shall take the reign from this day forth. As expected from Quantic Dream's new game on PS4, Detroit ushers a class of graphics never before seen on either consoles or PC. The amount of detail on every single NPCs are so detailed other games would only use the resources for main characters. The lighting, shading, effects and animation are so incredible in such a way it reminds me of some offline CG short films. The closest competitors are UC4 single player and The Order on a pure graphical front but neither reaches the near offline CG quality that's displayed in Detroit. Nothing on PC out now or upcoming come any where close to this graphically either. I do wonder if God Of war 4 will surpass this tho, it's a tall order but if there's a team that can do it, it's Cory Barlog's A team in SSM.

Friendly reminder to all, that you'll be seeing those same pictures over and over again until the game releases. Hell, even afterwards.

Also, TC, post some direct feed UC4 Multiplayer shots.

@freedomfreak:

I'll do you one better, have some gameplay! :D

(skip to 3.00 minute mark, everything before is just B-Roll footage from the trailer).

@freedomfreak

Admittedly UC4's MP doesn't look all that but it's mp and 60fps after all. Does anyone care about graphics in mp? Don't make me laugh lol. Every game should be judged in its best form so UC4's sp is the one to be judged upon.

@Desmonic: Yeah, just watched a bit of that. They're planning on adding vehicles later on.

@gpuking: Indeed. Best we judge everything where it's captured in-engine.

Why, UC4' sp looks more or less the same as its reveal trailer. Besides QD's game has always reached and surpassed their initial trailer.

Looking at Beyond Two Souls on PS3 then looking at Detroit, I have no doubt it will look this good. Can't stand his games though :(

It doesn't look that much better than what's currently on the market. Just some hires textures here and there, raindrop simulation. Hair still looks like crap. Also considering it is a David Cage game, it will be heavily scripted. There will be barely any game world exploring and interaction and omiting the stuff that the camera does not let you see easily frees resources for the better character models. Lighting and physics will be prebaked, all the maps will be detailed but small decorations. No AI as this kind of game does not require one (really ironic considering the game plot). I wouldn't call this a technical achievement. Games that have full real time lighting, physics, big open maps, good AI - now they are impressive from a gamer point of view.

Sometimes, I wonder why the herms and cows don't get along on this board better. I mean, having a PC and an XBox is an exercise in utter redundancy.

Then, along comes a gpuking thread, and I am reminded of how dumb people can actually be.

The trailer clearly showed a weather and TOD cycle so the lighting is all real time. Also what makes you think everything you said is true now that they're on a different platform with 10x more power to work with? For the record it's not just some high res textures or rain sim, it's the whole thing. You're obviously omitting so many other techniques they're using to suit your own agenda.

What's QD's track record in terms of trailer vs. actual game release?

Have they been known to downgrade a lot or are they generally OK and relatively honest in that respect?

Aww, I wouldn't say 'dumb'. No one could actually be that dumb and still be a functioning member of society. I'd wager that he is simply a top-tier troll, and doesn't actually believe the things he posts.

...? Okay? Not sure what I'm supposed to get from that reply :P

>implying what is released is an actual game, not a glorified CG movie.

" The amount of detail on every single NPCs are so detailed other games would only use the resources for main characters "

Seriously ....what detail?! There's nothing "wow" here...

Those screenshots are horrible.

I've been waiting for this. I was expecting this thread yesterday.

In-engine....

Hardly, he's an obvious troll who clearly doesn't believe what he's saying, so bottom tier.

@Shewgenja that made me lol

@gpuking: How can you tell tod cycle is not prebaked? Nobody will need it to be a true real-time in a game that is basically on rails. Only openworld games where sunlight changes during the gameplay and affects many dynamic entities opt for it.

Nope, otther games would use the resources to create an actual game.

Hermits come down from on high is trash the SW Thread. BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!

i suspect this footage is not quite representative of how the game will actually look(probably rendered offline at a super high resolution using the lowest lod level for all assets.) also, the specular shading on skin is all wrong

In "Engine"......

TryHard....

You mean hermits fall on the ground laughing their asses off.

LMAO, these plastic faces. By the way, loved the pre-emptive DC from TC, he's already changed his tune to hype up unseen GoW4 after the massive disappoints of UC4 and lolDavid Cage games.

PC gamers dont care about games they cant beg for.

See, how garbage Sony exclusives are that cows have totally abandoned them and instead use other multiplats as ammo on SW. :D Poor...poor cows.

Lol, Thats it, lolpuking has to be a gamespot employee. For the simple fact that he hasn't been banned yet.

Dude, you win the internet. lol

Plenty of tech-demos and point and click adventures on PC, there's no need for any jealousy.

Don't devastate the Hermits anymore. They already have to deal with Star Shitizen getting cancelled. Many of them are now homeless after donating their life savings to the Star Shitizen Kickstarter lol!

May look pretty but after beyond two shits I will be very cautious. Pretentious shite.

It looks great based off of the screenshots you posted, but it definitely won't look like a game that would be competitive with the top PC games graphically now when it releases TC.

I'm not going to fall for anything.

They always lie and then later on the game looks worse than its reveal (E.g Watch_Dogs).

It's pretty clear that's a CGI trailer heavily dolled up. In game engine doesn't mean it's running real time. It's clearly pre rendered and has a lot of post going on.

Look at the downgrades they had to give Uncharted 4 already. You're living in a delusional fantasy land if you think the game will look anything like that trailer.

Well that's good and all but seriously, raw graphics aren't everything if the gameplay sucks. The Order: 1886 is a good example of this. I want gameplay to be fun, raw graphics don't make the game, the game itself does.

OP is not very smart...

What he's showing are in-engine renders taken at super resolutions on a PC...

How stupid can you get... Especially when the title of the very thread is a jab at the PC....

Wow....

Can we just say a game looks great? Why does everything need to be "graphics king?" Also if you believe those trailer screens, I have some great Ocean Front property in Nebraska that you might be interested in purchasing.

Oh another generic David khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage "Game"

Just account suicide already, it's clear you have nothing to contribute but shitty troll posts every single time a PS4 exclusive is announced.
