There's not that many to compare yet, so I don't see your point at all.

Not to mention that a lot of these are just cherry-picked trailers, not even actual gameplay. Very little chance that the game looks that good in the end.

Finally, in regards to Skyrim/Infamous, the PS4 can't and never will handle the 4K textures, field of view, and effects that modded Skyrim can. The Order is a linear cinematic once again, it looks pretty, but it is practically being made as eye-candy, not anything else. 

Have you even read IGN's preview of The Order: 1886? It really looks like its going to change the way people play third-person shooter campaigns, and it looks great while doing so.

The Order's developers have a history of making great looking games with awesome gameplay and an enthralling story. You've got to play their games to know that.

IGN also previewed Thief for a month straight, before they concluded that it sucked the day came out.

Anyway though, I'm not talking about story or gameplay, I'm talking about graphics and openess. The Order limits the users freedom like any other cinematic game, so any pretty visuals come at the expense of being restricted in the world. Better graphics, sure, but the cost is great as well.

Honestly, I still think Ryse looks better than anything released on PS4 so far.

'Another level' depends on what level you're comparing it to, but yes, the games Sony showed for PS4 were very impressive. I was blown away by Uncharted 4's look, especially since that is supposedly the gameplay quality.

I agree, although that last screen reminds me of a phillips CD-i game screen. Not sure why.

But seriously, they do look wonderful!

Probably because it looks like a bad cutscene from Zelda's Adventure for the CD-i.

I know it was a tech-demo and technically it looked very good (still the least impressive from all those posted in OP, but good nonetheless), but that art-direction in there is terrible. I mean, just look at the ridiculous witch-thing-woman with the horns .

Driveclub looks good, we've seen a bit of the Order (which hasn't gotten me convinced either). The game that people are most excited about is Uncharted 4, which was just a face of a guy.


I've already said not to trust U4..it's not going to look like that or if it does then it most certainly won't be 1080p 60fps. They can say it's running in real time but imo it's just running in-engine, like some TLOU cutscenes. If U4 doesn't use any of those (as ND has said), then we won't see anything like that. If it does, we will. But what we saw of Shadow Fall in real time ended up looking better, Second Son ended up exactly the same, DC is looking better than last year and 1886 is looking more impressive with each video

Though U4 wasn't just the face of a guy, it was also the environment, which looked more impressive than Nathan to me.

Thing is The Order: 1886's developers also have a history of developing games with 85+ score on MetaCritic, and they've also developed the highest scoring PSP game of all time at 92 score on MetaCritic.

As for openness, I don't think an open-world is necessary for every game. RAD's games have always been quite cinematic and great so I think they should continue making such type of games.

I don't think any other cinematic game looks even close to as good as The Order: 1886 anyways.

Have you played them or just watched videos? Cause I played, and both SF and SS look better.

I've played Second Son, Shadowfall, and Ryse.

Are these ingame animations? If so, yes, its very impressive for a home console.

Ryse has too many compromises, lighting doesn't interact properly with many world objects (a good example is how it does work properly in the forest level but then never does on any of the other trees in other levels of the game, nor do the trees even look remotely the same), lower resolution, worse framerate, lower res textures on a big chunk of the environment and, despite being "on rails" cinematic game, it still resorts to switching character models between cutscenes and in-game, which neither Shadow Fall nor The Order do.

I KNOW they're impressive, but I can't bring myself to BE impressed with hyper realistic graphics. I see real life every day as it is. I prefer it when games take a unique approach to aesthetics, even if it's not graphically superior. Okami , Journey, and even the original Wind Waker look ten times better to me than Killzone. Personal preference, of course, but I just can't get excited about realistic visuals.

I'm going to have to confiscate your gamer card.

Comparing Graphics to real life is expressely forbidden by the UnWritten Laws.


But then why are some people getting hard-ons for how realistic game graphics are becoming?

You can like realistic graphics, you just can't compare them negatively to Real Life. E.G,

this game looks better than Life. {Perfectly Acceptable}

this game looks good but not as good as Life {Wrong!}


That's actually not even the comparison I was making, though! I just find striving for realism kind of dull, even if it's an 'enhanced' version of a realistic setting. Last of Us is lush and detailed, and I can appreciate that, but for me personally, it doesn't appeal aesthetically. I wasn't assessing quality, just stating personal preference.

Can I have my card back?
