I gotta go with Infamous. Seen them both playing on 55 in TV (same tv) and they both looked amazing but Infamous takes the cake.

@curl ah . it does look especially from the pic you showed :). @Stage Are you tryign to say the good graphics from rtyse are not in game?

ISS has the best graphics. Ryse and Killzone are a tie.

This!

I'd compare it to Shadow Fall but Second Son beats both.

And I am talking purely visually. Second Son is also technically a sandbox, which is absolutely insane.

Yap.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but Ryse's cutscene are pre-rendered. You have to add on top of that the fact that the game is very limited in terms of scope which makes resource allocation easier. That said , Ryse is a very good looking game indeed, just not a very good one.

Those saying Ryse "never was" are being a little unfair to it i think. You can't really proclaim either Ryse or Killzone as the definitive best looking launch title, GG and Crytek went down pretty different paths for what they wanted to prioritize.

Ryse for example had considerably better character models and animations (perhaps excluding Maya's facial animations), a more advanced AA method (fuck FXAA, y u do dat guerrilla :c) and more complex geometry thanks to its more linear nature.

Killzone on the other hand was running at a fair higher performance level than Ryse (1080p/30 - 40fps, so on average about 75% - 80% higher than Ryse's 900p/26 - 32fps), was often rendering more open areas (such as the forest level), and often utilized some seriously stunning textures.

Overall Killzone was certainly the more resource intensive of the two, but Ryse made better use of what it was given. With all of that in mind i don't think you can really say one is more of an achievement than the other, outside of general aesthetics preference.

inFamous beats the crap out of both though

@efilysp actually not all cutscenes are prerendered. The ones that are prerendered are the ones where you are prompted to press a button to skip it. That only occurs 3 times. The rest of the cutscenes in Ryse are real time and those cutscenes are the same when you control marius. Finished the game twice lol,

I thought we live in a democracy. Let a fucking poll decide.
