I'm surprised he praised the bokeh, I really hate it. It looks like some tilt-shift effect.

This game is so freaking gorgeous it's not even funny.

Anyway, I hope I can unlock Sly Cooper once I beat the game.

Great analysis.

Highlights some of the clever techniques Sucker Punch uses to create a game that it is so beautiful that many questions if indeed is a PS4 title.

Also interesting that Sony provided footage to NXGamer but not to Digital Foundry.

Yeah same with TLOU2. I definitely believe that's on Pro I mean we're dealing with ND here but there are people who would say it's next gen.

We haven't asked. What I mean is, there was nothing to capture at the show. I assume they'll provide nice quality assets otherwise as they usually do.

They're weirdly slow to get them out this year. Usually I can grab the 4K trailers off of Gamersyde right away but they're not available yet

Great second analysis from NX Gamer! :)

So that's why Digital Foundry didn't take a look at any Sony game, because they didn't get any direct feed footage and didn't ask for it? I was already wondering why.

Ah, OK.

Many here we are expecting a technical analysis for the games from Sony conference.
We'll probably do some but I'm glad NX has it's covered on this front. There's a lot to cover for everyone! Ghosts certainly impressed in that big theatre, though. They used that ultra ultra wide display beautifully.

Sony is good about footage like this, I should note, but it was just as busy for the PR team last week as well. Rich may have pinged them but I didn't have time!

With MS, we had raw capture at supreme quality of the conference and lots of hands on demos with capture. It was quite convenient.

Thank you NX Gamer. That was an incredible breakdown.

It's really quite a complement to SP that some people questioned its authenticity, same as TLOU2. It is running on a PRO so there's that.

I'm so looking forward to this. I know people dont quite out them on ND level but I've always admired their work. The original Infsmous game was my favorite of the series.

They really know how to do this kind of game. Before it was announced Insomniac was doing Spiderman I thought SP had it. Worked out for the best because now we get this.

Thanks for the explanation. Looking forward to the coverage if/when it comes.

One of the art directors explains the locations and how they went about creating the world here.

Agreed.

Also, the footage probably wasn't being readily handed out when DF was doing their analysis, which I believe was during E3 itself, hence being extra busy and potentially lost in translation.

Seriously looks next gen. Even the spiderman e3 demo looked a bit blurry in some places like it had to be downgraded in some of the city wide shots. Ill be impressed if this looks like this on ps4 pro. I hope they do a ps5 patch.

Great analysis, it is 30fps but it looks smooth with excellent motion blur. Sucker Punch is an amazing studio, loved every inFamous.

I love how the game looks. But it isn't surprising, Infamous is still one of the most beautiful game on PS4.

You haven't asked to get gameplay footage of one of the most graphically impressive games of E3: TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima ?

This game is not only one of the prettiest games I've ever seen technically, but the artsyle and how it's presented helps SO much.

It's such a gorgeous game.

I was a little busy last week, you could say. Didn't exactly have time for that. I'm sure Richard has it, though.

I thought that was weird too. I was thinking maybe it was because of the online debacle Sony didn't wanna get into.

It looks gorgeous. I'm just hoping they have Japanese people on the team ensuring it's a fairly authentic experience rather than a bunch of white dudes watching a ton of Kurosawa for research instead.

Huh. Nothing about GoT seemed PS5 to me visually. What did bother me though, and I think I mentioned it in the reveal thread, was the complete lack of UI. I'm not sure how that works? Did they (SP) play through and then turn off the UI in some way, when creating the video, or was the entire thing an in-game/engine movie of sorts? I'm leaning towards the former, because you can see some telltale animation state changes between combat and non-combat moments.

The game itself already used minimal UI so I imagine them turning it of isn't really a problem considering you can see the enemy movement if you focus while playing so you can parry them. It was also played live on a PS4 Pro.

Do like an NXG analysis video, was hoping this would be next.

Don't you think it's more likely just that they chose to not display it because it'd detract from the presentation? It's not likely some fakey in-engine movie jut because there's not HUD showing, that's an odd conclusion to come to. No doubt plenty of devs choose to smooth out their recorded inputs to best show off their work, but there's no reason to assume some sort of underhand bullshottery here just because a HUD isn't rendered to the screen.

They are working with Sony Japan Studios and went to the Tsushima island itself to get the authenticity so I don't thing we have to worry.
