@ReadingRainbow4: sure but not everything has a shadow. Like the main character standing in front of light. Immersion killer.

Oh no the sky is falling. Let me know when you have some real problems. Ocd much?

Best open world sandbox game sure. It looks amazing at street level up to when you're no more than a few stories in the air. Of course people trying to downplay it like to post screenshots from high up looking at the distant level of detail scaling.

Best overall? Pick any high profile pc release in the last few years for something better (crysis 3, metro last light, witcher 2, etc.)

@SuddenlyTragic: I'm confused. I haven't gotten my ps4 yet, but some of the things that were mentioned that you were confused about darkangel115 saying are very impressive looking from what I've seen of infamous ss.

Im still hoping they patch in x16 af and lose a frame or 2.... or better yet turn of the depth of field which makes objects in the background look blurry as sh**! And gain about 10fps

It is a very good looking game. It's story-telling is lacking, though.

None of those games look better then Infamous.

Witcher 2 looked nice, but its three years old now. A lot of games look better then The Witcher 2.

Metro has a lot of bad animation both body and facial. The areas in the game can sometimes look dull.

Crysis 3 never looked that good. I'm sure its impressive from a technical standpoint, but I never thought that game looked that impressive. The game also simply recycles a lot of animations and visuals from Crysis 2.

By "ever" I'm implying what has been released so far...Clearly there will be better looking games in the future. I obviously don't expect it to be the best looking game ten years from now or even six months from now. But coming from someone who has played every major game out there and has a PC capable of running any game I want on ultra, it looks damn good.

The game looks pretty damn impressive. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that impressed me. Already traded it in.

The city does have an almost lifeless feel to it. The story wasn't bad, it just didn't have a lot of replay value for me.

I could have swore someone had stated that the game would have permanent destruction...

You mean the game that doesn't even have shadows in 2014? Sleeping Dogs looks much better, runs better and plays better. Oh well cows, they will uttering the same bs about every 900pStation exclusive only to be owned later.

I've played several graphic showcases on the PC and I will admit this game makes a lot of them look tame in comparison. I wouldn't say it is the best since I haven't played a graphically modded skyrim, crysis 3 and some other powerhouses but it's probably way up there as of now.

I never understand the "best looking; most powerful ever" praise. Even if it can be said, what good is it? There will be a game quite soon that tops it, and there will be a more powerful console/graphics card before too long. Its worthless in an industry that is driven by technology advances.

It's a good looking game. Impressive lighting and particle effects and, also, high quality anti-aliasing.

I'd still go with a heavily modded GTA 4 or Skyrim/New Vegas on PC with one of the powerhouse ENB's. You mod in ridiculously hi rez textures and crank up the resolution and that's pretty hard to beat for an open world game. Of course, they're far superior actual games too, particularly New Vegas.

It looks great considering its a sandbox game, but best ever? hhhmm counting PC games the answer would be no...

On current gen consoles I think it looks better and on par with Killzone:SF

Quite easily the best looking console game as of now, at least on par with Crysis 3 or Metro but Infamous being open world impresses more.

the sticky was locked and removed...what happened in that thing, right? geez

anyway, i guess the infamous talk is in here now. I thought the graphics were great despite a few minor things like Del's mouth not moving during phonecalls, interactions, and such. and just a general downgrade in character gtaphics outside of the cutscenes.

great animation too, except when they were left out. like with phonecalls again. he never really pulled the phone out and held it when in these conversations...you just heard the conversation. which was also pretty bad since a lot of the times he's in a middle of a firefight n you're hearing him have a casual conversation. you'd think he'd hang up or at least say, "oh shit...a rocket!", something lol.

it doesnt really matter though since audio is so poorly done in the game anyway. a lot of conversations just cut off, or the dialogue's voice acting overlapped each other, or a mixture of both lmao. idk...the game is pretty, definitely(Ryse still looks better). but Sucker Punch didn't seem to polish anything else in the game, besides the graphics.

Completely off topic but I really wanted to share since the ot is gone. You can actually go back up the space needle and the beginning (sort of, the place after the drive) of the game if you want to. The latter kind of blew my mind. Completely unimportant but still...

Oh and apparently the big building without smoke as well.

@darkangel115: not true some of the car lights do and other sources as well. I've played pretty much the best looking games and infamous SS is currently the king.

It looks good yes, but its far from the best looking game ever. For instance it looks much better then DR3, But whats the tradeoff? DR3 had a large open scale no loading screen world that felt overrun by zombies. there were hundreds everywhere. Infamous has a city that feels small and dead. hardly any NPCs or enemies to be found and they removed lighting. in the end it turned out to be a tech demo more then a fun game which is sad

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

WTF...hahahaaaaaaaa

Man DR3 look like a damn PS2 game...the models are a joke want a talk a bout trade off.?

How about been 720p with frames as low as 15.? Is that trade off enough for you.?

Infamous walk all over DR3 they are not even comparable..lol

But but the game has no shadows..lol

But 30fps? A PS4 exclusive? Really??

Yeah because you are a die hard lemming who pretend to not be..

Ryse is an enclosed game that guide you to narrow pathways with almost no interaction what so ever,and even that way the game is 900p that run mostly at 26FPS with drop into the teens,not only the scale is bigger in Infamous,particles effects are better,frames are better,resolution is higher and the over all graphics are incredible while been open..

If Ryse was as open as In famous it would be 720p with models like DR3..lol
