Not until DC has a game given the uncanny appearance of reality so well IMO.

sorane3830d ago

Well that's easy it's either Ryse PC or Unity PC. I haven't seen anything close to those two games this year.

JackBNimble3830d ago

Then you're not looking all that hard.

tee_bag2423829d ago

I think you need to look at those screen shots Sorane linked to.

Bobby Kotex3829d ago

This isn't about best graphics, it's about what console you're d-riding. The comment section is truly pathetic.

BallsEye3829d ago

Don't try to talk sense on n4g. It has to be ps4 explusive to have best graphics or GTFO. I've learned it hard way. Even Ryse on XO looks better than any of the games listed there and whoever says it runs 15 fps is a tard. Runs smoother than most 30 fps games due to good post processing. Mind blowing game when it comes to graphics. No YT videos do the game justice.

you wouldn't admit it if someone showed you better graphics anyways. besides, graphics are heavily based on stylization, so "better" graphics is opinion unless it's a direct port of the same game to another platform.

Gazondaily3830d ago

Ryse came out in 2013 though.

combatcash3829d ago

I actually agree with you, actually seeing unity on pc on full settings is very impressive, it's not wonder the consoles had a difficult time running it smoothly. The game is simply stunning. I just won an xbox one unity bundle at work, I played the game briefly and there's a lot of detail and many things happening on screen. Either way I don't why they didn't include Ryse for pc or xbox one, that game is beautiful.

lemoncake3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

Pc is leading the way even at the start of this gen and is only going to push further away, ryse and unity on a good spec pc just blows everything that the consoles can do out of the water in terms of graphics. I am really considering getting a good pc for the lounge area this gen.

Bigpappy3829d ago

You can't win this on N4G. You should know this.

Drive club is the best looking game ever made and until the next PS4 game that the developer promise to be a graphical show piece. /s

The problem with drive club was never it's graphics though. I was reviewed poorly due to lack of content, bad Ai and uneventful and soulless driving maps. That's it in a not shell. Many here like to pretend that it was reviewed badly only because online didn't work. When in fact the game is lacking in many area outside of graphics according to the reviews.

Giantbomb823829d ago

Well said sir. Stop making so much sense. It just doesn't fly around here. "Next Gen started with Drive Club" "No it really started with Infamous" scroll down these are actual comments that are agreed upon. This site is hilarious. "The Order" will be the next graphical showcase that's completely empty, soulless, and lacking content that all the Sony fan boys will jerk off too. Playstation is pathetic. Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 have actual good game play and depth. What a concept!!!

windblowsagain3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

Never knew they were maps. Always thought of them as tracks. My bad/s.

As far as graphics. Driveclub pushes the PS4, huge vista's, volumetric clouds/rain/snow/. The game is actually quite hard in highend cars. The reviews did not do this game justice.

While on the subject of graphics. I think it really depends on where the game/engine is being pushed.

ATM I'm playing on different days of course.

DRIVECLUB - PS4
KNACK - PS4
DRAGON AGE INQUISITION - PC
FAR CRY - PC
SHADOW OF MORDOR - PC

I've played through Ryse on PC and i'd expect no less of good graphics from crytek and a well established engine.

Each one of those games I've mentioned has excellent graphics.

Dragon age looks like it's using an updated version of the frostbite engine. Also love the lighting.

TheXgamerLive3829d ago

Agreed in fact Ryse Xb1 still holds supreme on consoles except for AC Unity XB1. It looks a bit better with those incredible environments.
Halo MCC is damned beautiful too but doesn't match the titles mentioned.

Definitely a gorgeous game and one of the best art styles out there, but best looking? It's not even the best looking on the Wii U. I'd give that to Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros. Wii U.

Classic PS4 Racer DriveClub Is Now a Decade Old

PushSquare:

DriveClub, the legendary PS4 racer from shuttered Runcorn studio Evolution, has such an interesting story.

Originally announced alongside the PS4, the game had been intended as a launch title – we even played it in a big London church Sony had rented to showcase the new system prior to its release.

Evolution was done dirty... DC is still the most stunning visual game of its generation. They certainly deserved better in the end.

VenomUK256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

DriveClub was pretty and I loved the experience of driving in the rain, it was immersive. I had some good races with people from an old forum, but at times I found it to be a bit boring. MotorStorm was such a fun game to play and I loved the controls - it would make sense to remaster that.

DarXyde256d ago

I'd give the visual showcase award of the last generation to The Order: 1886. That game was immaculate.

Uncharted 4 was also absolutely insane, and perhaps manages to use the PS4's power in extremely clever ways.

jznrpg256d ago

It didn’t get good reviews unfortunately

obidanshinobi256d ago

Cause the game was mediocre at best, and surpassed in pretty much every area by Forza Horizon 2.

IRetrouk256d ago

Apart from visuals, driving model, weather effects, only thing forza had was an open world...

Inverno256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

It's multiplayer component was the only thing struggling at launch but the game was still perfectly playable offline. Done dirty is an understatement because how many games after came out with broken online components that got a pass? Now games with an SP and MP get separate reviews for SP and MP smh! SONY shut them down as if Evo had been bleeding money instead of putting out great games. Their fate was undeserved and they were the targets of a media smear campaign due to that one trailer.

Loved it.
Now here's a game that would benefit from a remaster.
4K, 60 FPS
I'd buy it.

ravens52256d ago

Might have to fire it up. Got it day 1, it was great to me.

outsider1624256d ago

See? Another reason why physical is important. Going all digital will have you miss out games like this.

Gabrielmpf256d ago

I loved tackling the leaderboards. It's a shame they couldn't even keep them.

Yi-Long256d ago

Brilliant game, I really miss it, and it deserved so much better than what Sony did to it.
Most important reason I liked it; It was FUN. That’s it. The actual gameplay,throwing a car around corners, the challenging AI opponents, the entertaining tracks which were peak-design, etc etc, it was above all just FUN to play.

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake339d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn338d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga337d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX338d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup338d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992338d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack338d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000338d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx338d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty337d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125338d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc338d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg337d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
