It does look good, but didn't we see this with the PS3 as well?

I'll wait until the games arrive, but photorealism? Far, far from it as of now.

Yeah it's possible. The game will be a corridor simulator running at 1 fps.


Very funny! ^_^

the QD demo is miles better than this one, the subsurface scattering is just soo much better in the old man. the details, textures and facial animations are just more advanced in the QD demo. the res as well is really different. (of the model, textures and maps)

That's not the point. That demo was 8 years ago when people were new to the HD tech and CELL architecture, and yet it still looks much better than anything seen in any PS3 game. So if that's the case, it naturally follows that the QD demo won't actually be reached in any game, and shall remain just that: a tech demo.


something i already said in this post but fyi the quality of the facial animations was reached, with uncharted, last of us, beyond two souls and la noire.

I'm too tired to do a comparison just now, but I'd still say that this tech demo looked better than those games (arguably TLoU is closest), but this is 8 years ago. We all know how far things have come since then.

I see also Trunkin is making the same point. So, good for him!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, guys, we did. We finally have realistic ear hairs on console games.

No, the PS2 generation was the last where graphics were a significant selling point.

As for 'photorealism', no, the PS4 is not there. High end gaming PCs are not there. Our best graphics design artists, even freed from computational constraints (cut scenes generated on a supercomputer and played as a video) have not achieved photorealism. Photorealism is being as realistic as a photo, and we are a long, long way from there.

no need for a comparision. just look at the beyond give above your post, it will show the same level of facial animation. i would actually say beyond has better facial animation than the last of us, but we still have to wait and see the actual game.

love how i bring up the same subject in my thread, and no one says a word.. Anyway, forget photo realism for PS4.. Whatever you want to call it, it's close enough for my eyes to not care. Good enough.

Well, if you're rendering only a head, then even the Wii U can do this. I'd like to see photorealism in gameplay.

There is no chance the PS4 or any 8th gen console OR any PC in the next 10 years will achieve photorealism.

The Quantic Dreams demo is impressive, but it is so far from photorealism that I'm surpised you'd use it as an example.

Yeah, people underestimate what "photorealism" means. It means real life graphics, and there's no way PS4 can achieve that. That's 9th gen stuff, if even then.
