I'm seeing PC gamers being blown away by the 'late title screen sequence' of a PS4 game.
It's amazing how good this game can look, much thanks to its art direction.

I've heard people say its the best looking game they've ever played (pc players). Others are blown away by how it looks and runs, even on mid grade pc's. It's art direction is a good point of the game.
