Is there a PSN demo? I'm really curious to see what MLAA looks like in a 'racing sim'. Looks really good in the screenshots, but I want to see it in motion.

Imho depends even of the motions... repetitive & convulse yeah, linear only in some edges...

Now that would seriously surprise me. Already read in quite a few reviews that it's a substantially better looking game that part 3, though, so there's still hope. Part 3 was just horribly blurry, and I'm not the kind of person who gets his panties in a bunch over QAA and the like.

As for the "To the End"-update. I'm fed up with zombies, and I certainly don't want them in my dose of Japanese melodrama.
Did you try it in 1080p mode? Also, please keep on topic, general Yakuza discussion should be in Yakuza 3 thread.
don't know what they did ti Shift 2 but compared to S1 there is horrible shimmering everywhere that is clean and crisp in Shift 1.
looks downgraded although the lighting appears to be better/different?
the shimmering (in motion) makes it appear as if there is no AA. Any idea what is going on?
on 360? Because on ps3 could be bad use of MLAA...
yes 360 looks horrible IQ-wise compared to S1 but they are using a deferred rendering engine (which I think is new from S1?) and I don't know if the new lighting system has made it worse?
Could be... MSAA on deferred couldn't works if I remember right....
I know, I know, I'm persistent, but again, http://www.gametrailers.com/video/quest-for-infamous-2/712636 dynamic godray in infamous 2 (limited at one character at least in the video)? Looked at the end of the video when the sun enlighten Cole & his friend....

Once again a pretty obvious 2D radial blur solution.
Here's a hint: if the light source is right there on the screen, it's almost certainly fake. It can work even if it's just a bit outside the view.
Only times when it's really dynamic is when the rays are running parallel to the screen and the light source is far outside of the view. Like you look forward and there's a rotating fan on the ceiling and light comes straight down. That's a lot harder to fake in 2D (although still possible with a depth map, I'd guess).
Calculating proper volumetrics is still far too slow for any realtime engine, so it's a good bet that no current game is doing it, especially on consoles where the limited resources are already heavily utilized.

LBP2 has volumetric lighting with proper 'god rays' (foggy lights), although it's more obvious with soft, volumetric shadows. Although LBP2's volume is very low resolution, so there's a bit of artefacting present. But when it comes to artsy lighting it still holds the crown IMO.
