I suggest you open your eyes by watching the screens in full screen.

 

You'll find much of this w/ Halo 4 =



Its a far more open game than Killzone 3. You cannot seriously expect the same level of polish when compared to a game thats as linear as Killzone 3. Common sense man.

you gave the answer by yourself. if a game is more open and so on, it can't look as good for specific things which means graphics aren't worse because there is more at the same time. the overall impression is the important point and not if some hairs are more in this face or if there is a knife with more polygons than every knife before.

btw i have to quote myself, you did not really just cut a small part of the backround of a halo pic out to show the not so good graphics? if you see the whole picture it doesn't look like that and if you will come closer you don't know how it will look then (because of the draw distance and things like that)

Halo 4 and Killzone 3 are on par, visually. But that just means both developers got the most they could out of each console. No shame in that.


This.  Killzone 3 is beautiful, Halo 4 looks beautiful.  I would put them on par visually.

some are easily impressed by linear and quick time event

from what i saw the halo demo was far more linear with chief running down a narrow path and the last of us beginning in a wide open area outside then progressing to a fight inside and i don't know if you have poor eyesight or not but i saw no qtes from either demo

Well the sheer fact that you all are arguing over graphics shows your not about the game. Especially Sony fans, what happens next gen when Xbox has better graphics? I'm not assuming that xbox will be better graphically than PS4 but this late into this console cycle its getting old.

Hey guys. Guys.

How about this?

How about we wait until the games are released before comparing how they look?

HAHAHAHAHAH!!! you funny!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I think Beyond impressed me the most graphically, the character models were very uncanny valley.

They're all also a good example that we really don't need new consoles at least for another year or two. Sure they run at 720p and 30fps but they still looked stunning. Smoke and mirrors never hurt anyone in videogames.

The "uncanny valley" is a bad thing. And I totally agree that Beyond, just like Heavy Rain, lives right at the bottom of the Uncanny Valley. The facial animations are good, but they made the mistake of going for realism instead of style. Unlike Naughty Dog, Quantic Dream failed to realize that a little artistic abstraction helps keep humans from looking like creepy fake people. Beyond has sharp graphics but the faces reach for realism and then fall into the uncanny valley.

Since the game has no AI, no complex physics, no open world exploration, or any of the CPU heavy overhead of a real game, you'd think they wouldn't ruin the only thing the game engine is doing. But just like Heavy Rain the people look creepy. I don't know of computers will ever be able to simulate the human face. Even movies haven't been able to do it right yet, Tron Legacy tried and failed. Instead of trying to do 100% realistic faces and then falling into the uncanny valley. Quantic Dream should do what Naughty Dog does, 80% realism 20% artistic license. I made up those percents, but you get the point.
