Stunning new infamous footage

it looks very good but that wasn't a very good gameplay demonstration.

Yeah at least it's not climbing to the very top every single time now. I dunno, just whenever I played a game like prototype, the traversal system just made me feel badass and like a super hero. Infamous always felt like it was holding back to be more realistic. Then again if you travelled any faster then you'd realise how small the game world is

Looks good. Will get a used copy once it is below $40.

@kuu2: let me guess, Titanfall looks better?

Looking really nice!
Just one more month....

Dem grafix... I wasn't planning on buying this game originally but since the new Thief is proving to be quite shitty, maybe I'll just put that $60 towards this game. InFamous 2 was decent enough I guess, and the first game was awesome. And dem grafix...

Yes I can refute the majority of your post. For starters, the lighting in this game is dynamic and rendered real-time, so you can spout "prebaked" all you want if that makes you feel better.

The game has shadows, but they arent dynamic. Its an open world 1080p console game, and one of the best looking ones at that. If you think the X1 could do any better then you are kidding yourself.

Regarding the fog, ITS SEATTLE AT NIGHT. The devs have stated there will be plenty of fog free days. Also, media that has actually had a hands on with the game have said the draw distance is lengthy, so believe whatever your feeble mind wants you to.

Its raining in the video, and the draw distance is still very lengthy. And yes, its a quiet city because its a night...like most cities. If you want to see a busy city then just watch some day time videos.

Not really impressed. Launch year games are just slightly better than late PS3 games. The games are really going to look good 2 years from now.

Still getting this game day one!

How would you know? You haven't played it yet

Amazing indeed! Thanks for the vid.

The people's reactions on Gaf spoke volumes to me. It's fine if you're still looking forward to it. I'm not.

It's night time, i don't think there should be many people on the streets at that sort of time.

Tons of fog is a silly amount of hyperbole. There's only a bit when looking out from rooftops and it's an overcast, rainy night. It's meant to look that way (see the gif if GS adds it, long street, no fog).

The shadows are puzzling though.

Still, best looking open world title on console so far.

exactly, The infamous games have never been about making you superman, to be honest flying around perfectly would get really boring.

I think I missed the "stunning" part lol. I'm even someone who is buying this game on day one to get some use out of my PS4 and this video really didn't do too much to sell it. It looks really nice enough, but you can clearly see that it has to make sacrifices in some areas. There is a considerable amount of fog at most times, texture resolutions on buildings and stuff aren't great, and the lighting and shadows are pretty meh. A lot of the times there are no shadows at all in the scenes. As for the gameplay, this is really nothing new, looks a lot like the other Infamous games to me. Hell, even Saints row for uses a lot of the same mechanics as this game.

I know it will be fun to play as open world mayhem always is, but I think we'll still be waiting for Sony's real heavy hitters.

that's all lems have,

a game that no one would play unless they got paid,

and even then it gets rated low and graphics matter all of a sudden.

good luck lemmings when you hype ryse for years

The lack of dynamic shadows is kind of a bummer, though if they were hindering the game's performance it's probably for the better that they were removed.

you cows are way over reacting...

It's the same preview build they show'd off that had that issue. I bet it's just a bug or something they turned off that will make it in by release.

its kind of ironic that the word IN is part of the word of the title for this game considering that you don't actually go INTO any of these pretty new buildings lol. idk, the game looks like every other Infamous game out there...except with upgraded graphics, with no shadows lol.

cows should probably stop hyping this game. i think its going to be a monster flop...in all the videos i've seen it was basically the same old thing, same old combat. its looking like this might be the most mediocre game since Killzone Shadowfall. pretty as **** but no advancement in gameplay at all...

plus the main character is retro as hell. when is this game based...1985?

PS4: It only does fog.

I'm sure you cant enter every building in GTA, Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Prototype, Shenmue, Batman series, The Getaway, Mafia, Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs, Dead Rising, correct me if I am wrong of course.

Ryse 4.0.

Flop because of retro character? Or was that just you straying off topic?

The graphics are stunning. They really captured Seattle's essence. I've been to Seattle three times over the years, and each time it rained. One time I was there for six days and it rained every single day I was there. And yes, Seattle can be very foggy at times too. Hopefully, the game play will measure up to the visuals.

@kuu2: dude can you read? I said the lighting is dynamic, not the shadows. The game has dynamic lighting, its a fact.

No I don't know what time of night is, I just know the devs said the world will be quiet at night and busy during the day.

Once again, almost everyone that has played tjis game mentioned the lengthy draw distance. In case you didn't notice, in the video in the OP its raining AND its at night, so obviously the draw distance is not going to be as far as possible.

A question for you, are you upset this game is open world and looks better then any game shown on your precious "The One"?

So now every time we see fog or smoke in a video game it's because the developers are trying to hide the limitations of the hardware? Come on people, get real.

this is next gen though lol. what arent you getting about that statement? new gen, new standards.

The game is a powerhouse, just wait till it shows off all the new moves. There's nothing quite like it..I mean sure saints row the forth tried at something similar, but the game was held back by inferior hardware among other things.

New gen, new graphical (lemmings may not notice these to the fullest extent) and gameplay standards. Not even PC games bothered rendering every interior, nobody cares about dedicating hundreds of hours of manpower from a quality game to make half assed interiors which serve no purpose. Being able to enter every house is even less realistic, unless you want to believe that in the USA people never lock their doors - this isn't Canada. PC is inter-generational, want to see what a new gen brings? Look at how PC games have evolved year on year.

With soldiers littered about the place I am sure it is not ideal to be in the nightlife. I wouldn't be surprised if there were curfew in effect here at some point in the game.

Hype level rising!

Deservedly. Game looks amazing.

Can't wait!

i love the graphics but the city has no live it's empty and boring i wish there si more npc and you can enter buildings

and why there is only 2 power smoke and neon

Good graphics, tedious monotonous gameplay ... yup its a playstation exclusive alright.

Quite impressive looking. all the same. shame the game itself looks mediocre as they come.

This game will bring us extreme Lems butthurt

Such pat athletic DC in this thread.

I Think I remember them saying that there are more powers, but they don't want to reveal everything before releasing the game.

Meh, I don't care really. I was fine with just lightning in the first two games.

Wait, aren't you one of the people hyping titanfall? can't expect people to take you seriously when your criticizm changes depending on what platform you are discussing. I could also say the same thing about dead raising 3, a game xbox fans say is so good but about as last gen as you can get standards wise.

When did you decided to intergrate this new "new gen, new standards." banner into your arguments because I haven't seen you thrown it around in any of the posts you've made for games on the platform that you own? Or dose your "new gen, new standards." decree only apply to playstation?

@lostrib:

Once again you pop into a thread and moan about sony and then go on about jerking. Get a woman mate. Will solve all your problems.

On topic looks great but the no shadow thing is not looking good to me.

@kuu2:

Yet your impressed by the xbox lineup? These games are like ps3/xbox games plus 10% What a joke this gen will be

what the **** are you talking about?

he is 100% right, lostrib always hates on sony so he should get women to cure this hatred he has for the greatest game console ever created

this makes perfect sense

They couldn't be convincing me less when they say "pretty cool, yea interesting" ....

a massive flop incoming.

when will the ps4 get a good game i cant get elsewhere?

Well I'm just super excited for this game. It's going to look truly amazing on my TV :D

Looks good, but imho nothing spectacular. I have no idea what do you guys see here that's so stunning.

Also, gameplay look like a complete shit.

I'm not trying to be PC elitist here. Can't wait for Order 1886.

lol you cows going blow a gasket in 5 years

dat System Wars logic

i don't care who or what you take seriously honestly. ur most likely punch drunk anyway. i mean, why wouldnt a new gen bring a new standard in games LMAO? cows sure are easy to please...smh.

but yes, those games have a next gen feel to them. people who have actually played Titanfall rave about it and its new feel in the FPS genre. are we suppose to take ur opinion more seriously when you probably havent even touched the game, along with being a constant MS/Xbox hater on these boards?? lol, no.

Dead Rising 3 is next gen because of how many Zombies it put on the screen at a time. no other console next gen, or last, had that volume of enemies on the screen at one time. thats new...thats next gen.

Forza 5....Drivatars, user generated AI...next gen.

what game does the ps4 have out or even coming out that's adding anything new to the game? Infamous looks like a shinier last gen Infamous. the gameplay is damn near identical to past games even with the powers being different. Killzone has always been generic and stayed that way with Shadowfall. The Order 1886...is pretty as F but has only shown to be a corridor shooter with QTEs.

games steadily advanced after ps2/Xbox...continued to advance in gameplay as well as graphics with the ps3/XB360...and this new gen MS and their games seem to be doing the same ALREADY. while Sony only seems to be releasing generic shii with prettier graphics.
