Amazing Looking Everybody's Gone to the Rapture Screenshots Out, Shows Power of CryEngine on PS4

Here are some stunning looking in-game screenshots of upcoming Playstation 4 exclusive title, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. It's a perfect example of what developers can achieve on PS4 with CryEngine

[Kingthrash360]

Gorgeous. I wish they'd show gameplay already...maybe e3'15.

[Arkardo]

Indeed, too much teasing without gameplay, one of my most anticipated games for the atmospherics

[NewMonday]

You should also look up the Vanishing of Ethan Carter, should be out this year.

[zeee]

My my! This looks absolutely fantastic!!

[strifeblade]

wait a minute, cry engine sucked when ryse was being shown and its over rated blah blah, but now its amazing? lol

[alexkoepp]

Honestly these graphics are less than mind blowing. Crysis 3 looks better than this game and it was released a long time ago.

[FamilyGuy]

@ Strife
Ryse was never considered an ugly game. Its problem were all technical complaints:

The frame-rate
The resolution
The constant quick time events
The on-rails feel of many of the sequences
The cloned enemies everywhere
The repetitiveness
The graphics down from what was originally shown
The glitches and bugs

Ryse wasn't ugly, the cut-scenes looked amazing, it had a ton of other problems though.

On topic:
This games looks good for an indie title but I agree with alex above me, there's nothing all that "amazing" about them.

[FamilyGuy]

@ biz

You literally validate most of the things in my list and then call it a joke, lol.

And sense you claim to have never seen the glitches/bugs here are a few.

I would expect an update at GamesCom. That is where it debuted last year. GamesCom is huge. Especially for these Euro devs.

[Hk85karlsson]

Yup. If you look at attendees its bigger than E3.
Almost ten times more attend the event in Cologne (GER).

[DigitalRaptor]

I'm expecting an update from some of these indie devs at GamesCom:

- Without Memory (Dinosaurum Games, Moscow)
- Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (The Chinese Room, UK)
- RiME (Tequila Works, Madrid)
- Shadow of the Beast (Heavy Spectrum, UK)

GamesCom is always E3 - part 2 for Sony, so i'm also expecting some big hitter announcements too, like Media Molecule, Guerrilla or Quantic Dream's new IPs.

[guitarded77]

Yup... GamesCom is the place for Euro devs. I'm expecting to see a lot of LBP3 there since it's scheduled for this year, and DriveClub.

I want to see some Bloodborne at TGS too. And FFXV damn't... they need to finally show everything for FFXV this year at Tokyo... they've had plenty of time to get it together.

[Sevir]

@DigitalRaptor yep and the formal announcement of "KILL STRAIN" Which!

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Guitarded77

Bloodborne will definitely be at TGS, as will Deep Down, and some other new announcements for the Japanese market. I'm expecting The Last Guardian too, like I do at all events.

---

@ Sevir

I'm thinking about it now, and KILL STRAIN might be announced as Sony Bend's new open world horror IP. I can't see it being a suitable name for a Media Molecule project, or for Guerrilla as it's too similar to Killzone.

Bend might be a U.S. studio, but GamesCom would be a great place to announce it.

[orakle44]

The forest, it looks so real. Looks good.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

or Gamescom or TGS

[Mega24]

Looks real pretty, incredible that this all originated from a Half-Life 2 mod!

[BullyMangler]

astounding!

ha haa

[Omran]

The Link is not working

[mr233]

I had to try it twice. First time took me to an add. But it worked fine second time.

[Omran]

It is not working for me, never mind I saw
the Images in Chinese Room Twitter Account

thanks

[MasterCornholio]

Thats an indie game?

WTF looks to good to be one.

Wow

[a08andan]

Indie has nothing to do with graphics :P

[frostypants]

Indie games used to be graphically inferior almost as a rule, but increasing horsepower and more powerful and cheaper dev tools have squashed that gap.

[a08andan]

@Frostypants. Still, the term "Indie" has nothing to do with graphics!

[grassyknoll]

Art design > specs. Every single time!

[NewMonday]

how about Art design+specs

[SilentNegotiator]

Except you need proper specs to pull off your design and their design is clearly centered on realism (which tends to rely heavily on specs).

[URNightmare]

Oh! You're one of those 😒

So many people with the wrong definition of what an indie game/developer is.

[MasterCornholio]

I usually associate Indies with small studios. Its not like I hate them or anything I actually love indie games. I'm just surprised that lately some indies look like AAA games. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Imalwaysright]

CD projeckt Red and Hello games are also independent studios and they're making some of the best looking games right now.

[vergilxx3]

Most of PC indies look better than AAA games

[supes_24]

SMH, not one of you stealth PC trolls again.

[Qrphe]

Until animations start being shown which definitely require large amounts of budget which AAA devs can only afford.

[SpinalRemains138]

Yeah but gaming on PC sucks, that's why we don't do it.

[SilentNegotiator]

"MOST of pc indies"? LOL, keep telling yourself that.

[AuToFiRE]

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Its not trolling if its true.. Honestly, I find the screenshots look like crap in comparison to the games I play on above ultra graphics settings on my 6 year old PC. And those "screenshots" are horribly touched up.

[thereapersson]

Yeah, you're right, Autofire, there's no possible way a lowly PS4 can make this game look good. We are lucky if we see Pong-level graphics on today's consoles. Thank goodness we have PC gurus like yourself here to add some unconstructive commentary and conjecture to help us lowly console peasants see the light!

/s

[vergilxx3]

Lol I'm not even a PC gamer I own ps4 and vita I don't even have a PC
I'm only telling what I see

[SilentNegotiator]

Right, and I don't own any PS systems. /s

[thehitman]

Screenshots definitely look impressive, not sure what I should be amazed about anymore though after the UC teaser.. I think this gen starts when UC releases.

[ramiuk1]

nah next gen kicks off with destiny imo

[thehitman]

Na... I think I had it correct the first time lol.

[marlinfan10]

@ramiuk

So next gen starts when a game comes out thats still on old gen consoles? Lol

[ramiuk1]

its does for me as its a big step for console games and i game i have wanted since i had my ps4.

as i said IMO.

gone to rapture looks lovely and UC4 looks amazing and allthough destiny cross gen,its a very ambitious project that will only be fully realised on new gen

[josephayal]

so Amazing, It guarantees that it will make your Playstation 4 cry

[_cyrax]

This really looks nice considering it's an indie game

[darren_poolies]

Being "indie" had nothing to do with graphics.

[thehobbyist]

Indie Game: A game funded by the studio producing the game
Note how the definition does not once mention graphics.

[rawz]

I don't know what is wrong with you all here. Stop acting smart with your dictionary definitions there, less budget can very well mean inferior graphics.

[dragon82]

it'snot about budget though. Indie devs are just fund their own game and don't relay on a huge publisher like Activision or EA. The richest man in the world could make his own game in his basement and publish it under his own studio label and it would still be an indie regardless of how much money he threw at it.

[sungin]

wow picture

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

Beautiful natural colours. I'm really looking forward to this one.

[KinjoTakemura]

Definitely watching the development of this game. Let's see if they focus on balancing the gameplay and the story as well.

[Omran]

Can anyone put the Images here
The website is not working for me :(

[Destiny1080]

this story begins with the end of the world

[ramiuk1]

that music is beautiful

this is it on soundcloud
amazing

[Deadlead]

Wow, I had heard very little about this game till now. Stunning visuals and absolutely beautiful music, this game is officially on my radar.

[Endless_X]

http://www.allgamesbeta.com... (in higher res too)

These screens are a bit old (from E3)

[mogwaii]

Thanks for that, that footage is new to me :)

[nucky64]

crap! every game i want seems to be coming in '15.
i hope "lords of the fallen" doesn't slip to next year and i am hoping either "the witness";"no mans sky"; or "rime" make it out this year.

[Goku781]

Is this an Xbox One simulator to demonstrate what its like since everyone made the switch to PS4? Lol its a joke people nobody start crying. Very beautiful game.

[jhoward585]

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture looks amazing. I can't wait to see some game play footage.

I want to experience a hurricane in this game.

[dmonee]

I hate the name of this game. It makes me think of bioshock. For the longest time, I thought it was dlc for it. All these great games scheduled for years down the road. Isn't it unsettling to know that our new consoles won't be seeing truly next generation games until 2 to 3 years after the console is released. What happened to developer's getting their kits a few years before the console is released? This will be gamings downfall and the reason why mobile gaming will take over. By the time games like this, and other truly next gen game's come out, we won't care anymore. Developers are also putting on hold their other projects to work on games for sony's VR headset. You thought the PS4 was cheap? Wait until you need to purchase a 400 dollar headset to play games on it. Were screwed.

[MysticStrummer]

Mobile games will never replace playing at home for me. When I play on my phone at all, which is very rarely, I play free strategy/puzzle games. The sort of games I prefer are much better on a big screen with surround sound. If VR doesn't take off, which it likely won't, there won't be many games that require a VR headset. New console generations are always like this. The truly next gen looking titles never arrive during the first year.

[dmonee]

I shouldve just wrote: The name of this game reminds me of "bioshock" and why are they telling me about it now, when its not slated to come out until 2015. For the meantime I will keep dinking around with bad cellphone games until then. Until something good comes out.

[snookiegamer]

@dmonee

Wow resentful much?

Assuming you don't own a PS4, your entire comment screams 'Jealousy'. Need I remind you the article just so happens to be about an Indie Game. So why you're typing absolute nonsense about something as completely unrelated as Project Morpheus is beyond me??!!

People like you put a sour spin on gaming. Oh, maybe it's because you're trying your best not to be a starter pack troll.

smh ;/

[dmonee]

I do own a ps4, and its concerning to me that, most of the games I am anticipating aren't coming out until late 2015, and early 2016. I did point out that the name of this title confuses me with bioshock even though its unrelated. Yes, I rambled a bit about project morpheus, and yes I made the observation that arcade titles and mobile like titles are taking over. This is a fact, not an opinion. No I am not into mobile games fir I think they are shallow and most of them suck. Yes, alot of developers are making games for the Project morpheus, which in turn will cause delays on games we want, and we want soon. This is a big investmebt for Sony, and I want it to do well, but not at the expense of the gamers that just invested 400 bucks on their new machines. I am intrigued by this raptute title, but when I see the 2015 release date I get turned off. I hope it looks and plays as great as is being promised this early. I would just rather not know about it until we are closer to its release date. There was a time when games would be showed 6 to 9 months before release, now we are being shown things 2 to 3 years ahead of time. Bottom line is, im impatient. I Want these games now.

[Realplaya]

Give me in game footage.

[MaxwellBuddha]

Agreed. You can no longer judge a game's graphics by screenshots alone in 2014. Details like dynamic lighting, framerate, and particle effects simply cannot be conveyed from a single frame grab. Therefore, this game is NOT visually impressive (especially the wheels on that wheelchair - yuk!) in the least.

[WeAreLegion]

Here's in-game.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[mogwaii]

Noice, this, the witness, rime and no mans sky....gimme.

[Nine_Thousaaandd]

Witness, Rime, No Man's Sky...and now this game, can't wait to play these titles!

[S2Killinit]

im intrigued about what the story will be. or rather what type of game its going to be. It could be epic.

[Destrania]

Wow, those look beautiful.

[modesign]

dear sony, buy crytek, licence out the cryengine, more devs should work with it.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Open source it to indies, then release those games made on PS>Platforms.

-No Money Hatting Needed, just the tools provided-

[MaxwellBuddha]

Do you really think indie developers are so poor they cannot afford $9.90 a month?

http://www.gamasutra.com/vi...

[RIP_Cell]

not supporting this sony moneyhat game

[Jack_Reacher]

So sad, really, if its a good game i'm sure none of us will miss you.

[snookiegamer]

Everybody's Gone To Rapture and No Man's Sky put many so-called AAA games to shame. Must be a reason why I'm totally in love with anything Indie.

Indie Games, Music...Movies!

Some of these big budget projects (across the board) lack imagination.

[Loggie]

As gorgeous as these screenshots look.. the screenshots themselves are sub 720p.. I hope it looks equally impressive at 1080p.

[Flames76]

Looks good but still dont hold a candle to ryse from what i see from these screen shots

[leogets]

The wheel chair wheels could b a bit more round.. Dodecagon wheels look shit lmao

[Maxor]

Where is the amazing in this screenshot? I get can get this from the Witcher 2 or any game out there.

[cyclindk]

I do love how foliage density is steadily increasing

[LightDiego]

Rapture looks even bigger than on Bioshock.

[Justindark]

eh not impressed. so impressive is an overstatement. ill wait to see a video to pass my judgement.

[Moe-Gunz]

Just waiting to see the gameplay

[kris9512]

The game is based on an area of England where I am from (Shropshire)

[tubers]

My most hated color tone and time of day.

PISS YELLOW xD

[STEWIE_PLAY_PS4]

How did PS4 engine? PS4 not need Dx12 lol

[Adolph Fitler]

"Ryse was never considered an ugly game. Its problem were all technical complaints"

The WHOLE problem with Ryse, is the fact it was originally developed to be a Kinect 2.0 ONLY game, to sell Kinect 2.0 to the masses....they shifted the direction of the game, once backlash of there whole Kinect with every XBone, throat shoving, proved to much. Then later is was also revealed that there were pretty damn significant graphical downgrades to the retail version (near a half in character polygon counts just being the start). The game was sold as kind of MS's answer to GOW, when it was a POS compared with even Dante's Inferno... The game was unfocused from the start, as it should never have been a software tool to sell Kinects, it should have been developed from the very get go, as a kick ass action title... The theme, & whole premise is stuff that wreaks game, & many like me, love this type of content, as that period & the whole shebang is almost as made for gaming as WW2, Hitler-killing FPS's.

They definitely should have a 2nd crack at a Ryse sequel, but this time develop the game with THE BEST INTENTIONS for gamers, not some uncurrent BS, to help MS sell a POS peripheral. Had this game have hit a home run, I may have bought a XBone, just for this, Sunset Overdrive, & possibly that 3D LBP rip off, the next Halo, Gears & a couple more.... But, glad they screwed it up, as I can't play 4+ consoles worth of games, in a gen....PS3, 360, Wii-U, PS4 is my collection, & I still have LITERALLY 100's of PS3 games ALONE, to finish, then some on the others as well, & the masses of future PS4 titles I know will hit sooner than I want, then the odd few Wii-U titles worth my purchase (speaking of which, added Mario Kart 8 to that list today). I really don't need another console added to my name until next gen....& I refuse to pay BOTH Sony & MS an online fee to play MY games, on MY internet connection. I'd rather not give MS anymore of my cash, as they have there greedy little hands out for every bit of nickel & diming that is plaguing the industry nowadays.

[WickedLester]

I realize this may be nit picking, but as gorgeous as it looks and as advanced as the CryEngine may be, why in the video do the trees still have that cardboard cut out look to them? I would have thought they would have been fully 3D rendered, all things considering.
