It seems that the game has received a noticeable graphical downgrade ever since the first reveal, most notably the eye shaders were drastically reduced among with other post process effects. Considering even the pc 4k version from their videos don't come close to the reveal trailer quality I'm not holding my breath the ps4 pro 1080p mode would introduce these effects back, although i wish they could patch it in the future.

I made a quick change to CarbonFire's version just to see what it would look like with less red in the eyes.

CarbonFire's superimposition

Skin texture is much nicer in the final version, but those dead eyes man....

falconxcrunner09 · Mar 15, 2017

Still looks pretty damn good to me.

Such creepy fucking faces in this game

lucebuce12 · Mar 15, 2017

Still looks pretty good to me tbh.

Spiral Insanity · Mar 15, 2017

The faces look so strange. They all look goofy.

karasu · Mar 15, 2017

There is no downgrade.

xynder · Mar 15, 2017

why do the faces look like fuckign shit

darthbob · Mar 15, 2017

This game is using Frostbite 3, yeah? The faces are just so... weird looking. I can't put my finger on it, but it's hella uncanny vally.

so it's a bioware game

iavi · Mar 15, 2017

Almost doesn't look downgraded as much as it just looks like a different anti-aliasing and lighting.

Hedgey · Mar 15, 2017

RedSwirl · Mar 15, 2017

I honestly don't get it.

I don't even believe the reveal trailer was running on a console. More likely to have been pre-rendered using the in-engine assets they had at the time. The Ryder wake up scene seems to have been completely re-done for the final game.

GavinUK86 · Mar 15, 2017

ah there we go. this thread took longer to show up than i thought it would. you're slippin gaf.

JMY86 · Mar 15, 2017

For fuck's sake enough already...

jacobeid · Mar 15, 2017

Those faces though.

JBwB · Mar 15, 2017

Still looks great to me.

megametaman · Mar 15, 2017

Hey, developers! Are you listening?!? Why did you make it look worse!?! Do you hate our eye balls? Do you not like for us to see better visuals? OP wants to remind you that when it's convenient to please make it look beautiful again!

Patch is ok. More stability too please.

Zemm · Mar 15, 2017

She still looks derpy as hell, come on bioware

Syntax · Mar 15, 2017

Doesn't look bad. Like they changed the setup. Though that last comparison is something I'd call a step down.

Chamber · Mar 15, 2017

That's called optimization.

Corpekata · Mar 15, 2017

Some odd examples you are going with, especially that last one.

josecitoxnyo · Mar 15, 2017

This would be relevant if the original footage was gameplay footage, it was not, it was target in engine footage.

Deal with it.

i-Lo · Mar 15, 2017

Not seeing a downgrade here, rather changes in lighting & DOF during scripted events.

Cloukyo · Mar 15, 2017

The only downgraded thing I see is Sara's face... Keelah, I wonder what happened to her.

FunkyPajamas · Mar 15, 2017

What is it with this game and underbites? The blue one looks like Shrek, it's hilarious. I mean, they're lovable, sure, but I just can't stop laughing when I see the characters. I'm not going to be able to play this game with a straight face.

Spiral Insanity said:

Exactly. It's like, are you trying to make me laugh?

antonz · Mar 15, 2017

Still not sure how they got their animation rigging etc so bad.

johancruijff · Mar 15, 2017

you're onto something but we need more evidence

Par Score · Mar 15, 2017

Shaders, downgrade, whatever.

Those mugs are ugly as sin. This is almost Bethesda levels of ugmo.

Enclose · Mar 15, 2017

Is this for real? pls dont..

Gurthang · Mar 15, 2017

Man these faces......

dracula_x · Mar 15, 2017

I don't see "downgrade" in OP example. In fact, it's the opposite.

Jibbajabbawockky · Mar 15, 2017

I said it in another ME thread but its the whites of the eyes. In all the recent videos in closeup cutscenes, its just the whites of the eyes look painted on, like there is no shading or shadows on them. It's totally creepy looking and makes the characters look like Thunderbirds puppets or something when coupled with the wonky animations.

dankir · Mar 15, 2017

Looks fine to me!

Really? I actually like the default main character, she looks lovable in a goofball kind of way. She just doesn't look like she mean business, like default Shep and Femshep did.

She also looks kind of young. Is she like 23 or something?

sn00zer · Mar 15, 2017

Outside if the first shot it looKS like an improvement

etta · Mar 15, 2017

Optimizations.

Krosia · Mar 15, 2017

sidegrade

actual game lighting + non bullshot iq + non bullshot DOF
