Even in that early phase, best looking game on consoles.

You aren't allowed to judge how a game looks via a twitch stream unless you're talking about how good it looks I guess

 

[VFX_Veteran]

Yes, you can definitely say this a year from release. /facepalm

There is no release date. How do you know it will release in Dec 2015?

Furthermore, it's my prediction.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Damn @ no 60fps though

 

[Business]

This thing is on a generation of its own, can't believe this will run at 60fps.

 

[kinggroin]

Looking at the 1080p Youtube video, which is still heavily compressed, and the game definitely looks more impressive than first impressions suggested. There's a nice amount of detail in the scene.

Still, it doesn't feel like the leap I was expecting. It certainly does seem possible that it will run at 60 fps in the final game if that's their target, though, which isn't a bad thing I suppose. If they can deliver visuals of that quality at a stable 60 it should prove rather impressive.

Compare this sentiment towards the visuals on demonstration today versus the initial tease.

Its a fairly significant drop; and there's going to be a lot of apologizing and "look here" posts to distract crow feeders

 

[Jawmuncher]

On mobile is there a gif of the fall yet?
Friend at work doesn't believe me

 

[BokehKing]

silly me, expecting gameplay improvements.

like what....you can't just drop vague statements and then be like
"I expected more"

more what?

Did you want him to fly? Shoot fireballs out his hands, what?

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Looks like a downgrade compared to the E3 build.

Surprise, surprise. It doesn't look as good as that E3 trailer.

E3 was a cutscene. This is gameplay.

 

[TAJ]

Definitely a huge level below that teaser trailer in terms of graphics. everything is pretty cutback. its not the best looking ps4 title, or even close to it. impressive if its indeed 60 fps tho.

And this is why devs shouldn't make 60fps games.

Except according to sony its targeting 30. Lol

Yes, it does.

Wat?

What do you mean wat?

Optimization doesn't really take place until quite far in the development. Pretty much the very end. If they're at a "stable 30fps" in a pre-alpha state, that indicates very good things for the final game. Especially considering this is Naughty Dog. Their games often improve dramatically from first reveal to launch.

Wat?

If this is 30fps colour me not impressed.

 

[KalBalboa]

When Nate got pushed under the waterfall during the fist fight... did his hair get damp?

 

[Backfoggen]

So it seems that demo was running at 30fps, not 60fps.



Are they not targeting 60fps anymore? That'd be a great shame.

Wtf?

[The_Hitcher89]

Looks fucking fantastic to me

Natural evolution of Uncharted. Peerless animation.

 

[140.85]

Game looks good but nowhere near as mind-blowing as cryptic insider tweets for months have indicated. Also doesn't look as good as the first reveal IMO.

 

[martino]

my only disapointement is nate model far far from the trailer one
game seems huge even if the more /vertical gameplay don't impress as much as linear one in demo.

 

[allan-bh]

Good visuals of course, but I was not impressed as I thought I would.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Wow literally every game lately has dream a lot of negativity from some Gaf members lately. Even bloodborne and No Man's Sky. So I wouldn't take many of these people seriously or at the least not be bothered by it.

Seriously. The "everything is shit" attitude sure can be tiring. Sometimes you just gotta take a break from forums and people with wildly unrealistic expectations.

 

[Nzyme32]

Surprise, surprise. It doesn't look as good as that E3 trailer.

I think that should be expected. It looks near enough during the conversation section at the end but you can see the change from game to cutscene, which was the same with previous games anyway iirc and not much of a big deal.

Level design seemed stellar, and I like them not highlighting every single thing to latch on to and stuff. Foliage was pretty damn great too.

So it's pre alpha running at 30FPS. Hmm, can't say I'm not let down a little but I'll wait on more footage.

To be expect though if they move from more powerful dev kits to the actual console for the show (i think). That can be worked on later

Guys.

Framerate is the LAST thing you work on in development. The last few months are generally just optimizing, optimizing, optimizing. Please relax about framerate until the game is in Gold.

You can tell if it will be 60 by beta. It's prealpha atm.

 

[blastprocessor]

Disappointing to hear about the 30hz frame rate - less impressed now.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Completely agreed. I'm still very excited about the game, but you can see the decision to hit 60fps getting in the way of better even better visuals.

No game with comparable visuals run anywhere near 60fps on consoles...This looks more impressive than the Order...

 

[Gaffercake]

Visuals look great, I'm sure I'll be properly blown away when I see the 60fps footage, but the gameplay has become so stagnant and boring.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Game look good but i need HQ footage.

 

[capitalCORN]

So much diplomacy in this thread!

 

[Randam]

So they chose to improve the graphics of the game. Not unexpected.

but does it look better than what we saw at E3?

 

[Xpliskin]

"I'm expecting this game to run at 60 fps even if it's a pre-alpha demo "


Gaf gonna gaf.

 

[Bricky]

silly me, expecting gameplay improvements.

How could you expect much more than what was shown? It is still an Uncharted game, there is only so much you can change or improve upon before it becomes a different game.

Nobody plays Uncharted to experience some deep strategic third-person shooter or anything.

Wat?

Hopefully someone can clear up if this was just the demo target or if they decided to go for 30fps. Seems like it would be a dumb idea to announce publicly going for 60 if you weren't positive you were going to go for it.

 

[chrishackwood]

Nate has a brother???

 

[Kezen]

Nowhere near as impressive as I thought it would be, but I guess it's expected if they are truly aiming for 60fps.

 

[VFX_Veteran]

So it seems that demo was running at 30fps, not 60fps.

I told you..I knew it..

If every developer is targeting 30Hz.. what makes people think ND can suddenly find some secret sauce from the PS4 and make it do 60Hz to maintain competition with other graphical enriched games?

 

[MayMay]

Guys holy shit.. the game doesnt come out for another year. If its running at 30fps now - thats a very good sign.

 

[GhostTrick]

So they chose to improve the graphics of the game. Not unexpected.

Except... it looks worse than E3 video.

 

[illmatic22]

I don't think I'll be missing Tomb Raider at all, not with this





Id still like to play both





GOTY !

 

[Kayant]

Except according to sony its targeting 30. Lol

Although we are still in the pre-alpha stage of development, everything you see in the video is in-game and in real-time running at 1080p and a stable 30hz

That's not what ND said. That what the game is running at currently they have always been targeting 60fps.

Thank You

 

[GnawtyDog]

Unreal...unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New stealth elements, more open, more enemy flank points and verticality. Uncharted platforming taken to the next level. New mechanics with the grappling hook..... the slide mechanic against enemies....

The graphics are just insane.

Drake's brother?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SniperHunter]

the order looks way better imo

i will buy both but more excited about the order and quantum break atm

ai looks great though

 

[The Lamp]

People forget this every single time.

For those saying the initial segment looked boring:
Uncharted games always have a mix of game scenarios, from quiet lonely moments where you're exploring in the wilderness to intense action to wild humor. This is one section of the game.

For those saying it looked ugly:
You're crazy, but the game has a year left, and Uncharted 2 looked much better at launch than it did in previews, even.

I'm impressed with the framerate for that level of simultaneous detail.

 

[Spotless Mind]

Combat looks as dynamic and fun as ever. The level design in that short section looks terrific.

 

[Cavalier]

Nowhere near as impressive as I thought it would be, but I guess it's expected if they are truly aiming for 60fps.

It's 30

 

[Loudninja]

Lord have mercy.

Some of you truly are out of your minds.

 

[Randam]

yeah, the last few month is, when you drop the targeted 60 fps to 30.
and then you release it with drops to low 20s.

 

[Sify64]

but does it look better than what we saw at E3?

No, in my opinion. Don't kill me... lol. I think the game still looks great.
