If you think Windwalker or Pikmin are good examples then you haven't got a clue what I'm on about.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


The photomode in GT is really popular too and offers options you would find on a DSLR camera.

You are about to tell us how awesome you think Infamous' graphics are (or geneally PS4 graphics, I am still undecided considering your attitude on the internet) and that you think with the photo mode there is a new way of art introduced. And as always it happens to be that you can't get all opinions together when if comes to art.

Sounds like you don't know what art is.

Maybe the photo options in those games aren't as good, or maybe they are just photos people took of the actual games. Either way they are art, just like the Infamous shots.

I'm about to tell you how 'awesome' Infamous graphics are? Yep, you've definitely missed the point.

look like any screen shots from any game to me. (yes the graphics look better!) They do not look any more artsy than all of the other screen shots i see people take in games. Many games have had a photo mode or picture taking in them (at least pc games)

I know exactly what I'm talking about because I'm the person who's trying to define it in a way people can undethrstand. You clearly don't understand what I'm saying so I've failed in my attempt.

I can post hundreds of screenshots of ISS without a problem, but that isn't what I'm talking about. There has to be a level of photorealism to achieve what I'm talking about. It's not about resolution or poly count, it's about taking real world photgraphic knowledge and applying it to Infamous. Those Pikmin pictures say nothing about the person that captured them.

No they did not. They put a photo mode in their game, and they're far from the first to do so. Some people take particular good shots, others take more simple, basic ones. You can find examples of both in every game with a photo mode.

Obviously, the fact that inFamous is a new game on new gen hardware, and is set in a beautiful open world sandbox means there's ample opportunity to take some great shots.
