I'm still only at the start of the game so my main photo will probably change over time. Figured I'd throw what I've got in so far. Such a beautiful game.

I've only played a couple of hours but haven't dabbled with the photo mode yet. Will look into it this weekend. I don't have an account for imgur or Instagram or anything, so might have to sign up to one of them.
 
I'll go with this one.

I know photo mode likely adds some bells and whistles, but it's ridiculous how good the game looks.

Also no, that doesn't seem to be the case. In the other thread there were some comparisons and there is no discernible difference between photo mode and gameplay, it's kinda crazy.

This game look so good it makes me shed slight tears. Valve or some pc dev needs to go all out with PC games like Playstation Devs. It takes modders to beef up PC games it seem, skyrim is way too old now, though modded Fallout4 looks nice.

That close up of kid Aloy's face looks so good, so crisp, it's impressive. I should drop by the photo thread to see some machine close ups like that.

Amazing! Insane that it looks that good during actual gameplay.

With DOF like that during gameplay, it would make people feel sick. I played with heavy DOF in Skyrim, and while it looks good for screen shots, it's bad for gameplay. That and crazy DOF would add to slight framerate drops probably. Hardware these days seem to be a ble to handle DOF like it's nothing.

Oh no, yeah the extra DoF is definitely from the photo mode, but the visuals remain the same otherwise from what I can tell in those comparisons, which is just insane. An open world game, looking that good, being as stable as it is, and on a console is just...amazing, no words for it.
 
Think i will be in, in a few days.
Already took some incredible screenshots.
I'm confident! :)

My mind is still blown again and again, every time i play the game. Can't believe how insanely good it looks.
 
google doc updated.

Also possible mirror's edge catalyst psn code to be added to the prize pool and the prizes would be switched to a 1st place gets 1st pick, 2nd place 2nd pick etc

This is my humble participation :) Only messed a bit with the DoF, not really gifted to work with these things but the game does look fantastic!
