RULES:

1. Must be realtime in-engine. Cut-scenes are fine, but no prerendered stuff.

Ok, I'll go first. I'll probably post more later, but for now here's these:

Say whaaa?


Its a great sow to 343i that people think this is CGI. 

Well done 343i. 

Tis people is indeed using ingame engine. Only 2 CGI moments in Halo 4. And they look like real life or a high budget cgi from say Avatar.

Either way, that's a video file, which uses very few assets from the actual game, has been so heavily manipulated and has so many effects applied that it may as well be CGI. Uncharted 3 (and many pre-release "bullshots" of other games) is guilty of this as well in parts, but not on a level like this.

As for the CGI, I've heard that it's amazing. The CGI team behind the Halo games are very talented.


Without derailing the thread. To say Uncharted is not guilty of this as much as Halo 4 is pure wrong. Uncharted looks considerably better in cutscene or non controlled gameplay tan actual gameplay. Way moreso than Halo 4. It is far from CGI. The CGI in Halo 4 looks infinitely better than these shots. Hugely better. 

Uncharted if anything is more guilty. More disparity between cutscene and game in UC2 and 3 than Halo 4 cutscene - gameplay. 

And just because Halo 4 does look this good its unfair to call it out with absolutely no proof to your statement. 

If you play Halo 4 you will know its incredibly close the gameplay to its cutscenes. obviously some things do get changed.


Dude theres no comparison. Uncharteds gameplay graphics was closer to its cutscenes. Halos cutscenes were crazy and the graphics were as good as the 360 will ever do (Which was awesome!). Its on par with FF Versus CG, which is a vast difference from the actual game from what we've seen.


I am completely unearthed as to what some tink they have seen. 

Halo 4 CGI is on par if not better than Final Fantasy.

Halo 4's ingame cutscenes wich are posted here are incredibly close to the gameplay. In fact te only notable difference I ave seen is the character models in the cutscenes. The 720p FXAA is exactly the same. Hence the same occasional jaggies in both gameplay and ingame cutscene. The textures in the scenery and world look unchanged as does the lighting. Yes the lighting looks like that while playing. I suggest if noone has played it, just play the level Forerunner. The lighting is unbelieveable.

On an even better note. The cutscenes are NOT the most impressive moments in Halo 4. 

Halo 4 wows you during gameplay over and over. Its those massive vistas. Inside the Forwerunner planet on the level Forerunner for example. I never once during the playthrough went wow look at the cutscenes. I went wow look at this battle going on in front of this 3,000 feet UNSC carrier. Its the gameplay where its strengths are in visuals. Not cutscenes. 

Halo 4 still contains Theater. Just pause the game select theater and view what you just played. Moving the camera around yourself. The visuals are exactly what they are. Except for the Final Fantasy beating CGI.

3EYOND and The Last Of Us screens, technically, shouldn't be posted, for they have yet to be released. I say re-visit this place with those when they're out. ;)


But...but..but...look at it! It's gorgeous!

Agreed, especially in 3EYOND's case. But that's why I think we should hold off, they will only improve visually. :P

I called it out because it was 2560 x 1440 resolution, it had heavy anti-aliasing applied and it was a huge leap in graphical quality over the gameplay I've seen. Because of the anti-aliasing and draw distance, I also implied it was CGI in my first post, but I changed my mind after taking a closer look. I haven't seen the original shot from that cutscene, so I won't jump to conclusions as it could just be a pre-release bullshot, but from the shots I've seen of that cutscene, I think it's heavily pre-rendered.

I don't like it when people post pre-rendered shots of Uncharted 3 in graphical comparison threads (something which Aldro avoided I think).

Here's some comparison shots of cutscenes vs gameplay for Uncharted 3 and Halo 4. I tried to find similar scenes. If you want you can try and find better shots, wasn't sure where to look with Halo 4 and I didn't want to post shots with spoilers in.

Uncharted 3

Halo 4

The Last of Us and Beyond: Two souls graphics are out of this world,

I can't imagine what Naughty Dog and Quantic Dream will do next gen.

I get what you're trying to do here, but I'd advise you to pay close attention to the OP's request. Not to mention, that first screenshot was a target render, what the engine was capable of, not game footage (as we've already seen from 3EYOND).

I'll post actual 3EYOND game footage:

 

No bullshots. Actual footage when playing the game. But again, keep the baiting to a minimum.

you should take your own advice about derailing and funny how you call me out but not your friends

Only for the gays not get confused, GT5 had three modes to take pictures.

Pardon?

Anyways, beautifull GT5 shot:

 

Sorry, couldn't help myself friends...

oh god that rain thing always pissed me the fuck off when I was playing GT5, I was like "really? fucking really?" the first time I saw the rain lol

This is Sony Santa Monica's first PS3 game, if the jump to God of War: Ascension is as big as GoW1 to GoW2 (like the devs said it will be) then nothing else will come close this gen. Beyond is looking fantastic and I have a feeling Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is going to blow people away with its visuals due to the first game looking STUNNING and this off-screen gameplay screenshot:

 

The three mentioned games will be in a class of their own next year as far as consoles go. With some current gen games already looking so incredible I really can't wait to see how amazing Sony Santa Monica's games look next gen! I think Stig Asmussen is directing a new IP from Sony Santa Monica for the PS4, E3 2013 should be amazing.
