InFAMOUS Second Son: It’s Lights Out

One of the most anticipated of games for the PlayStation 4 this year is InFAMOUS: Second Son. From the screenshots that we have seen it is looking very impressive when it comes to the visuals.

The screenshot that we have seen is remarkable and this is down to the sheer effort and details that have been put into the lighting effects of the game. Pictures that we have seen from Adrian Bentley, the Lead Engine Programmer, showed us at the Game Developers Conference, just how the lighting can change the game. He did this by showing screenshots of after and before adding in lighting.

The pictures he showed did show how the use of diffuse lighting that was indirect along with specular lighting that was indirect enhances the mood and the colour of the game. You can definitely see a difference. One of the most obvious of changes is how it can change the mood in the environment, the mood is more vibrant and the colours sharper.

Would you have thought that the lighting on its own could have such as big change in the making of a game.
