Don't get the down votes, are people really so naive that they believe 130m poly models are achievable in the near future?
Normally the increase from gen to gen is around 200%(maybe higher), say like a good PS3 model is 30k and something on PS4 is 90k. That would mean PS5 = 270K, PS6 = 810K, PS7 = 2.430m etc...
We probably won't get to 130m in our lifetime.
Where you getting this information from? I saw a dev video saying Kratos in GoW3 was close to 30k.
Jak in Jak 2 was as dense as Old Snake in MGS4? Seems unlikely?
I get what you're saying though, you don't need an insane amount of polys to have a great looking character model, once the displacement maps are converted to normal maps it looks nearly identical even with significantly less polys. Improved lighting + textures is far more important for ac...
Was it someone from ND who said UC4 will be comparable to TLoU pre-rendered cut-scenes? If so I'd believe them and not expect too much.
Also that job description was looking for someone comfortable modelling characters using a million polys, they will not be that high in-game however because all the displacement maps will be converted to normal maps, uses a lot less power and looks nearly the same.
Expect the main character to be 100-150k ingame if it...
Easiest question of all time, Uncharted 2 of course.
UC2 > UC3 > UC1
Not an ounce of interest in Titanfall.
That's hardly a chewed up score lol!
If it falls below 70% then sure.
Uncharted 2 > Tomb Raider > Uncharted 3 > Uncharted 1
Great sales for Tomb Raider, a great and much needed reboot for the franchise and I'm excited for the sequel!
1. God of War III
2. God of War II
3. God of War: Ghost of Sparta
4. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
5. God of War
6. God of War: Ascension
7. God of War: Chains of Olympus
8. Devil may Cry: DmC
9. Bayonetta
10. Dante's Inferno
;P
The Order 1886 had framerate issues because it is 9-11 months away, it will look better and run at a solid framerate by release.
Remember the GoW3 E3 demo compared to the final game? That huge difference was made in the last 9 months of development, except a similar improvement in The Order 1886.
The bow of Apollo in God of War 3 is my favourite! :)
Gamers haven't had enough of the formula, absolute hokum, had God of War: Ascension been as good as the trilogy nobody would be saying things like this.
Ascension made changes to the formula and messed it up. To much pointless puzzles and sliding around. Making the combat worse by removing alternate weapons, changing the parry system and the awful new rage meter system. Also they introduced a multiplayer component nobody wanted at the expense of the singe player.

"Platinum Games’ Bayonetta is rightly heralded as the gold standard of all Hack/Slash"
LOL! Yeah, in a world where God of War 1, 2 or 3 don't exist.
Hell, the first Castlevania: Lords of shadow was significantly better than Bayonetta, even Ninja Theory's DmC was better.
Put Sony's biggest and most popular story driven IP to rest? What planet are you on? Do you realise how popular the series is? Aside from GT it's the only one capable of 6-7 million sales without mass bundling, a.k.a. being given away.
People will forget about Ascension when GoW4 is announced, that game still has an audience in the millions. Look how popular all the fake GoW4 trailers are on Youtube, one has well over 8 million views! Crazy.
New setting & mythology (Egyptian) but keep Kratos.
They can change Kratos a bit though, make him more relatable, less insane, more conscientious etc.
I'm just curious bu would people still be saying this if God of War: Ascension was as good as the main trilogy?
Somehow I don't think so, millions of people were begging for GoW4 and when the shoved the disappointing Ascension our way instead it killed peoples hype and hope for the franchise.
Now they don't even have a new IP anymore, it's inevitable that they're making God of War 4 now since it'll be a guaranteed success but damn, tha...
I don't think Uncharted 4 is going to steal the show. Probably something completely new, like SSM's new IP or something.
Can we just pretend Ascension didn't happen? I just want GoW4 directed by Cory Barlog with 100% of the teams time, resources and effort focused on an amazing single player experience, a.k.a. no bloody multiplayer!
Their new IP is coming first obviously, hopefully the new GoW will be out in 2/3 years and I hope Jaffe isn't involved, his story ideas for GoW3 are just awful.
Also Sony Santa Monica & Media Molecules new IPs right? Sony is going to kill it this E3!
There's no wat Nathan Drake in UC2 was 80k in-game because it'd look a lot better if so, they switch the models for gameplay & cutscenes. He was no more than 35k in game I reckon. You should share a link to these statements.
I've seen a GoW dev say Kratos is around 35k and that they don't switch his character model, this is believable because he looks so damn good and since he hardly wears anything all those polys go towards making his body and head topol...
We are not even close to photo realism in games, maybe in 20 years the PS7 will be able to achieve such fidelity.
