    Reveal Trailer 'with actual footage'. The end credits state 'not all footage appears in-game'... So who knows.

    GAME INFORMATION

    Here's the only in-game footage so far - looks pretty; pretty generic...

    A few more seconds of new footage (6 seconds)

    Looks pretty decent.

    Full trailer has now leaked. It is an early / unfinished version of the trailer apparently but it doesn't look bad.

    It has a gratuitous amount of lighting and sparkly effects, which always make things look pretty. But, does it look like much of a leap from the PS4?

    Probably an early showing of what they can do with lighting / Ray Tracing.

    If the Demon's Souls Remake is real and comes at the same time, this will probably be buried.

    I'm probably just being a grumpy fart but all that trailer does is make me think with every new generation theres a diminishing return. That game could quite easily be done on current hardware (minus reflections which quite frankly I couldn't give two shots about). What's the point of a new gen if theres nothing new about it?

    @richarddavies This is being made by a smaller developer though (Gearbox is only Publishing) so it's probably not a game that will push next gen consoles anyway.

    Yeah, agree. Think it's kind of inevitable though.

    Would personally prefer Sony/MS/whoever to spend years innovating in NPC AI rather than incrementing graphics every cycle. But, improved AI doesn't come across well on stage at E3 I guess. Remember when FEAR came out and how good the AI was in that? It's probably still one of the best demonstrations of intelligent bad dudes.

    This is why the Ms announcement of forwards/backwards compatibility of 1st party is especially odd - they’ve basically already told us the first year or two are a waste of upgrade money.
    Now, I mostly expect that to be the reality of Sony software too, but announcing it a year before sale is a weird move. Why bother buying day 1 if you’re confirming that we’re only getting multi-gen. experiences?

    I guess weirder still is all the consumers being happy about it.

    I’m curious as to what makes this thread ‘official’!?

    Better performance, better graphics, snappier interface, quicker loading.

    That's why I'll be an early adopter.

    Also, what year one games this gen couldn't have been done on PS360 tech with the graphics pared back?

    Hmm definitely Ryse, but I'm agree with you on the whole. Surely being pro consumer is a good thing no?

    The X upgrades to old 360 titles has shown that, barring resolution upgrades, there was fuck all difference between this gen and last gen overall. Offering a free software upgrade when people finally decide to buy a new tv is bound to make consumers happy, no?

    I beat everyone to it, and I called it official. So it's official.

    I did want to call it GODawFUL at first, but that wasn't very nice.

    It’s not just resolution - there are various huge graphical improvements, lighting being a good example. It is mostly graphical though, granted.
