Traversal has gone god tier.
So driving cars and going into buildings is a true open world game?
InFamous about climbing buildings and using you powers to get around.
Show me an open world game with better graphics.

Everything I've seen of it points to infamous just drop dead gorgeous which troubles me, but as long as it doesn't do a Crackdown 2 level of recycle I'll be okay with it.

No, but the definition of "GTA open world" is "like GTA".
Infamous is "open-world", but Watch_Dogs is "GTA-open world". One of those allows more resources to be allocated to graphics than the other.

Gosh that looks great.
Ubisoft really messed up Watch Dogs. I dont know if they are intentionally holding the ps4 version back to look closer to the Xbone and old gen versions but something must be going on.
Sucker Punch are not exactly a powerhouse of a studio either so I dont know how a plucky 100 Seattle team with a "So-so" technical track record can outgun the 1000+ person intercontinental dev monster from Canada.
If this is the kind of gap we can expect between Sony first party and multiplats then SCE is going to have a nice generation.

Looks amazing but you still can't pit exclusive, next-gen only games against multi platform, cross-gen games.
Though, Watch Dogs does need help.

Did you play GTA 5? There were dozens and dozens of buildings you could enter that were non mission related. Even more that were.

It was a matter of time when someone felt their rig was threatened
Ah. That's cool. It's very strange to not have a day/night cycle in an open world game though.

I have played many open world games on PC and this impresses me. there is nothing overrated about the graphics. a small team has managed to develop an impressive engine
the city at night with the rain looks very impressive
We have impressions in the OT.
oh god... this is perfect

That's ok, Infamous SS does that on its own. This is a valid comparison vs another open world game that was very much touted for the visuals on it's initial reveal in Watch Dogs. Infamous towers above that.

It definitely doesn't compare to a PC port of console games

Not trying to define open world. I'm saying that adding drivable cars and building interiors as opposed to just exteriors is a lot more complex and requires more resources than just an external map of a city. I'm not bashing infamous at all it's a great achievement. Just saying it's not an even comparison. Like I said TLOU was the best looking PS3 game, but those graphics just would not be possible on a game like GTA 5. I think TLOU was a much better game either way, but it's not an even comparison when it comes to pure graphics.
Ubisoft absolutely needs to be called out when doing a subpar job, they're not exactly a small company.

Great material settings on the road and stuff, extremely natural. A wee bit barren in terms of geometry and object density though. Nothing horrible at all though.
Curious to see direct feed uncompressed to get a hint at its AA solution.

Wow you totally missed the point. I don't want infamous to have drivable cars, I'm saying it's not a fair comparison.

Well I have one I just need to see if my splitter strips the HDMI when I get my PS4 in on Monday then I'll be ready for launch.
The graphics are really impressive, but it gives me the same sort of impression I often get from other open-world games: Where are the people? Only the very first shot seems to have many nearby people, and I only see maybe 3 anywhere near the camera, with some others in the difference.
I never played any other Infamous game though, so I have no idea how the crowds typically vary.

I thought Watch Dogs is built on PC first then ported down?

I agree, but just let the shots speak for themselves -- they have no problem doing so.
I just don't want people jinxing this game. lol. This kind of hype often leads to strong backlash that Sucker Punch doesn't deserve.
