When it comes to graphics, Sony Studios always deliver as they are the benchmark every gen among all consoles, so i dont think there is any crap in this statement.

Will it be any good? Well see!

It is crap though. It will look good but its all just purely hype PR. How many times did devs say last year ''this game will push ps3/360 to its limits!'' and it never did lol

Actually, you're partially right.  It is PR hype, however, it's not a false statement either.  AAA studios, don't just make games that utilize 30, 50, 70% of the hardware.  It uses 100% of the available resources, it just generally does so poorly in the onset.  Which is why iteration over iteration (Uncharted 1, 2, 3, TLOU etc... as an example), looked and performed better over time.  ND didn't just use a portion of what's available, their code was unrefined/they were able to create new techniques to more efficiently use the resources.

Definitely PR speak, but technically a correct statement.  Though, that's not exactly what they said either.  They said it's going to push the PS4 somewhere it's never been before, which could be taken any number of ways, but not limited just to how much of the resources it uses.
