[jackmurray]

This is pretty incredible, sort of thing that would convince me to play the game again.

 

[orochi91]

Looking great!

 

[BenHargrove]

Just comparisons from the trailer? Man, I'm dying to see in-game footage. Still impressive though.

 

[Vodh]

Can't wait to play it again, looks gorgeous!

 

[Jarmel]

So other than the resolution, what differences are there? I know they're supposed to be using higher models. Any texture bumps?

 

[Teh Emo Penguin]

Aren't all those sections from the prerendered cutscenes?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Can't wait to play this again in crisp 1080p and smooth 60 fps

Aren't all those sections from the prerendered cutscenes?

Sadly, yes. The difference would be more noticeable from a gameplay footage compared side-by-side. The cutscenes were already of higher quality on the PS3.

 

[plasmawave]

I bet if they wanted to they could make this game run on 120fps on the PS4.

 

[Cygnus]

We cant even see the resolution difference can we? Pretty sure this player is 720p

 

[Comandr]

Textures, resolution, draw all look way better hype!

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Not that big of an upgrade but the game was so amazing I'll be there.

 

[Linkyn]

I'm pretty sure I remember the PS3 version not being this blurry.

 

[orochi91]

So other than the resolution, what differences are there? I know they're supposed to be using higher models. Any texture bumps?

Did you even watch the video?

Improved textures all around. Including environments.

 

[mcfrank]

I do not recall the PS3 version looking that blurry.

 

[twobear]

It's a decent bump but I'm not sure it's the kind of upgrade that would push me to double dip.

 

[JAVK]

.

 

[Dinjooh]

Suddenly my screen turned all muddy on one side.

I do not recall the PS3 version looking that blurry.

I'd have to put it up on my telly to compare properly. But at this range with a 24" monitor infront of me the difference is quite remarkable.

 

[alr1ght]

So comparing a game that was 720/30 to a 1080/60 game with a 720/30 video.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

People should keep in mind that the compared footage is from cutscenes, which were already pre-rendered on the PS3. The difference isn't as noticeable here IMO, but in-game difference should be much noticeable.

 

[Cygnus]

Suddenly my screen turned all muddy on one side.

That compression...

 

[KorrZ]

Holy shit...PS3 version looks like a blurry mess when compared side by side like that. Can't wait to see actual in-game footage. Definitely going to double dip on this game HARD.

 

[BenHargrove]

I'm pretty sure I remember the PS3 version not being this blurry.

I feel like turning on the PS3 just to make sure that I'm not going crazy.

 

[Mysterious]

Can someone post one photo that is not a spoiler?

Thanks!

 

[FTF]

I don't doubt the PS4 will look great, but those PS3 clips are terrible. The game looked/looks way better than that on PS3.

 

[NullPointer]

Spoilers from the DLC too, or just the main story? I've always planned on waited for this re-release before playing the DLC and so far I haven't been spoiled on anything.

 

[nhlducks35]

I do not recall the PS3 version looking that blurry.

Eh, stretch it out to 1080P and it'll look that blurry.

 

[twisted h3art]

Looking good hope well get a solid 60fps I want to play some more MP.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

I don't remember the PS3 version looking that bad, relatively speaking.

 

[newsguy]

1080p freckles looking crisp

 

[AmyS]

Hmmm, looks good, much sharper on PS4, but I thought the in-game models on PS4 were meant to be the same as the cut-scene models on PS3. Hopefully we'll see some gameplay vs gameplay comparisons soon.

 

[ComputerMKII]

The difference is smaller than I expected.

 

[JAVK]

Yeah, some minor DLC spoilers included.

man, that looks much better... i am glad i held out for PS4 versions of last year's games.

 

[NullPointer]

Yeah, some minor DLC spoilers included.

OK, thanks.

Not like I need to be sold on this re-release anyways.

 

[figadapaura]

Okay, I'm convinced.

The PS3 version looks much blurrier than I remember, but it's like night and day when you put them side by side.

 

[Skinny Pete]

That was a pretty awesome video. Looks really fucking good.

 

[Jarmel]

Did you even watch the video?

Improved textures all around. Including environments.

A lot of that can be attributed to the resolution bump.

 

[salromano]

Can someone take a few non-spoilery screen caps?

 

[alr1ght]

This video is nonsense. Native 720p is not that blurry in a 720p video. Not to mention it's not 1080/60

[Revolutionary]

Aren't all those sections from the prerendered cutscenes?

The carousel scene isn't, but it's only in the video for half a second.

 

[Duxxy3]

Not sure that's a fair comparison. The PS3 footage is getting pretty stretched out. Maybe my memory is foggy, but I don't remember it looking THAT blurry.

 

[Subtervotion]

I just want a PS4 + TLOU bundle, Sony. C'mon.

[Platinum_D]

Yup double dip here

 

[Cartman86]

Those shots toward the end still have the shimmery (aliasing I assume?) stuff in the distance Can't wait for that to go away in games.

 

[stryke]

Aren't all those sections from the prerendered cutscenes?

The part where Ellie jumps off the crate is definitely a gameplay segment.

Disappointing comparison though. There were a few more in game segments in the trailer that could have been used as a comparison.

 

[scitek]

Are the cutscenes in real-time now?

 

[RoKKeR]

I didn't think it looked much different at the conference but this comparison shows the differences really well.
