Open world shooter, real-time destructible environments VS linear CGI fest?

You must be joking or stupid. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Not that impressive considering it's struggling to maintain a solid 30 fps with sub 1080p resolution, not that great of an achievement.

I disagree, they haven't surveyed the tower...

It's not that much of a victory, Naughty Dog will show them who's boss in a year. I also thought the whole arguement about Halo was that since it was open, it couldn't compete with more linear games graphically? Here we have the more open Killzone vs the strictly linear Ryse and it is a very close fight, but Killzone runs at 30+fps (reportedly) at 1080p and Ryse runs at 30-fps at 900p.

It is definitely not a great victory

Not really. It seemed ok to agree with DF when linear titles like Uncharted and TLOU were touted for amazing visuals last generation over games like Skyrim or Crysis 3. But now DF say Ryse is the best all of a sudden its changed????

CGI fest?

Where did you get that from? Its all rendered with in engine. And the scenes your talking about are actually not that many. Most cutscenes arent pre rendered in engine, but rendered on the hardware. Easy to tell because you have control of the character straight away often not realising the game has given you control before you realise it has. Its only when it blacks out that its Pre rendered. But those pre renders are still the same assests. Just more post processing. You can only really tell due to Boudicas hair.

Wow, I hate to think what you think of Killzone and Guirella Games. Ryse has the best lighting, textures, models, environments ( I keep saying this, but everyone has to experience levels like The King, and Edge of The world ) and animations are another level. Also theres times where the game is sporting 100 or so onscreen during battle. Really the first time I said, right next gen is here.

To be fair you say it is the most technically impressive launch title, Digital foundry did not seem to agree with this statement, however they did say it was one of the most technically impressive.

Its an awesome victory. If you get the chance, no matte what goggles anyone wears I'd love to film peoples faces when they are shown Edge Of the World for the first time on a big HD TV. Even PC folks are impressed. The lighting in this level is rediculous. And the clarity of the textures are stupidly real. But its when fighting starts it just looks surreal. Almost film like. And the boss battle in this level, well . Sod just at least owe to yourself to experience The King and Edge Of The World 2 levels one after the other.

As for Halo. Halo 4 by DF said it was right up the top fighting for supremecy when it released graphically. And that was after UC3 game out. So no 343i did a btter job last gen at making a much more open world game look and fight with linear games. With Ryse theirs a much more definitive Ryse Towers over "ALL"

Digital Foundry dont make a statement that one is better than the other unless its technically superior.

With Ryse you seem also to be leaving the bit out where they categorically state:

""That said, if you really want a taste of what we can expect from the next generation of consoles, Ryse towers over the rest."

Not on Xbox One. Its very clear Next Generation of Consoles.

These Digital Foundry threads are always interesting because you get people arguing over interpretations of what's written like this is the bible. It's very similar to what has happened to John Lucas' post in his thread.

Anyway carry on, just something that popped into my head while reading the last few posts.

Says who? you and your 6 friends?
