Compared to PS3 they are.

Although it does appear that the screenshots in the OP are taken from FMV sequences, whereas the shot you provided was in-game. I hope to god the OP screenshots are the level of in-game quality that we can expect.

I couldn't pin point what makes those graphics more next gen than now. A different engine with more capabilities for THIS gen, then okay well done it looks great!.

The textures most likely, they're much better.

Yawn another "OMG PC graphics are way better than that" comment.

It is a bit hard to be impressed when most of us have seen better. Sure, they look a lot better than the last console generation, but they don't spark any wow factor when better stuff has been available for a while.

Call me when Playstation exclusives such as Uncharted, Last of Us, Infamous, Gran Turismo, Knack, Drive Club, Killzone etc.. come to PC, until then the rest of us will be excited at having a big bump in graphical fidelity for the games I don't get on my PC.

They aren't FMVs, the same clip was running realtime at Sonys Playstation Meeting as were all the other games they showed.....

Ah, I didn't know that. So this was in-game footage? That's pretty sweet then, I'm excited now.

And let's not derail this thread to a graphics comparison between different machines. We know there is a difference between console and PC capabilities, and we know that some people won't be impressed with the above. As usual, if you don't have something to say about the topic at hand (which is located in the Sony console section) then there is no need to make a post. (Y)

Just because it wasn't gameplay with a HUD doesn't mean it was pre-rendered FMV, most if not all of the games showed at Playstation Meeting were running in realtime.

Real time doesn't mean game graphics. real time cinematics always have significantly better graphics than the actual in game graphics.

what I'm more interested in though is the animations and soft body dynamics in this game, graphical fidelity is one thing, but it can only do so much if the animations and soft body dynamics aren't there to support it. for example when the liquid flame whip hits the guard how does he react, is there an actual impact or just a standard "I got hit by something" animation...

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
