I wasn't too big on Rise I'll be honest, but, I'm gonna get the PS4 version day 1.

The extra content pluss everything else looks cool and I just want to go around stealth killing people as PS1 Lara lol

Amazing news! O: Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator will be updated with a figure viewer and diorama mode.

That was all that beautiful game was missing! I have to buy it now. I don't care if I suck at 2D fighters. XD
@Juihau

<---real time graphics.

Anybody here? >__>

Welp, here are some screens I took in the King of Fighters XIV demo:

The art style is still pretty meh...but the modelling, texturing and IQ gives Street Fighter V a run for it's money. It isn't particularly pretty but it's also not particularly ugly.
There's also a customizable versus mode in there which SFV still was able to implement in the full game. XD

the art really isn't the problem so much as the animation and effects that occur when they're interacting with the other models.

Literally just saw that and was about to put it here. I'm curious, though, about things like available poses and environments, and things like that...

The incredible detail to Uncharted 4's random NPC character models:

They didn't just photograph textures to put them on clothing, they actually modelled each fabric in 3D themselves:

Some of the texturing of main character models:

Thats just...creepy.

Huh? Did I miss something?

currently working my way through Dreamfall Chapters. Game looks damn good and im a sucker for cyber punk settings

Wait when was there another Dreamfall game?!

I want it NOAWGH!

HD screenshots of Tekken 7's Raven and Bob:

What do you think about their design and their models?

When did Wesley Snipes go transgender?

Those modesl still look godawful during closeups. Look at Mai during her super. Her bangs arent even located in the right place on her hairline for example. Everything clips, no texture detail, blank mannequin like faces, etc, etc.


Also severe lack of background stage cameos which is a trademark of the series.

Now if they would only put as much detail into actual skin. Seriously the black guy looks like rubber foam.

THAT is how you do 3d models for a 2d fighter. Street Fighter and KoF could learn a thing or two from GG.

Its been out on PC around a year and a half ago. Its an episodic game like life is strange/walking dead and just recently released the final episode a month ago. Right now its PC exclusive... dunno if its coming to consoles or not

The amount of detail that are in the clothes...I cant see that shit in real life even with my glasses. It puts it in the uncanny valley IMO.

Well, if you don't especially zoom in, you don't really see it in the game either. Shots weren't made by me....so that tells you even I didn't notice how great the texture quality actually is.
What I find creepy, is that Uncharted 4 in sometimes very large, beautiful environments with about a hundred of NPCs as well as up to four insanely detailed main character models, can have such amazing detail and quality, while enclosed games like Tekken 7, only showing two models at a time looks so poor in comparison.

Welp...some more Ucharted 4 goodness, that I took today morning:

I love how the moon light is glistening on the wet foliage. Looks even greater in motion.

 

[Tyaren]

NPC in Uncharted 4:

Unbelievable detail. He even has nose hair! O:

 

[Goarmagon]

is there some sort of Tesselation going on? there is no way that a PS4 can keep that much detail on the screen at one time.

 

[Tyaren]

Tesselation is used in cutscenes on the main characters' faces as far as I know but not in gameplay, like here, when you can move as well as zoom in and out the camera completely freely.
And yes, the PS4 can do that. It will be able to do even more in the future if capable and devoted developers work with it...and if the PS4 Neo and Xbox Scorpio won't seduce developers to become sloppy on the old systems to just shine graphically on the updated hardware... :/

Some more in-game shots I took:

Lol, I'm getting sloppy. Saw I already posted these screenshots. XD

HD screenshots of Tekken 7's Raven and Bob:

Master Raven is a scarred hottie, and I approve of her design. Definitely looks like a step up from the other chars. DOn't know what happened to Raven, tho.

Always hated Bob with a passion. His model looks good, but yeah, hate his OP ass.

Seriously, where's Zafina at? Gotta see that hotness in the new engine.

 

[Jadeinchains]

I took this photo a while ago but I decided to post it!

I love the Brahmin's in Fallout! They're so cute.

 

[DontForkWitMe]

speaking of Fallout 4 i've never posted my pics from it in this thread yet...time to remedy that

 

[Tyaren]

Nice pics guys...the game as a whole is graphically/stylistically one of the most unappealing I ever came across though.

On another note...

...they really shouldn't put their 2D designs next to their 3D designs... :/

 

[Argentus]

So it turns out that while No Man's Sky is beautiful, that's ALL it has going for it. There's literally NOTHING TO DO.

Id take more screenshots but I can't leave my current outpost because there's no way to mark locations to find them again after you leave.

You can't build anything or interact with the planets in any way.

Only two things you can do.

1) gather resources and money to upgrade your gun and ship's mining and combat capabilities (it is cool you can customize your gun to be a shotgun, grenade launcher, sniper, Uzi, etc. Of course there's no ENEMIES so whatever).

2) go around collecting words to understand the language of the local alien species. Of which there are only three apparently.
