So is it gonna be 60fps or 30fps? Seems a bit unprofessional to claim 60 and then show the game running at 30. I believe in optimization as much as anyone else, but doubling the framerate in a year?

Running above 15fps in prealpha is often an achievement.

 

[Ishida]

Huh. OK. Well, I'll just move on, then, because rational views are clearly not welcome.

I think people really need to look at that E3 reveal. There is so much going on their graphically that was never going to happen. The environment deformation, the insanely high quality bokeh DOF, the quality of his hair, the way everything interacts with the water realistically and how it actually accumulates and drips from the character and objects, the foliage and lighting and post processing... it's all massively, massively higher quality than what we should expect to see on these consoles or even a high-end PC. Especially if we want it running at 60fps.

Or we can ignore all of that and look at skin textures (that may or may not even be in a real-time cutscene) and say there's no difference!

Don't get me wrong. I'm excited for this game. I think it looks fantastic even in its current state. I just don't think we should kid ourselves here.

Why don't you show some of those "massive" differences, then? Because the character model seems to be the same as the E3 trailer.

 

[Mifec]

I'm primarily a PC Gamer, I'm not a fan of Uncharted either but what I saw in this demo looked really great, to the point I might ask a friend to lend me their PS4 so I can play this even.

The game was NEVER gonna look like the above posted pics and run on PS4, I feel sorry for people who thought the game would ever look like that outside of prerendered cutscenes.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Fuck, looks amazing. I love that combat arena too! It's huge and there are tons of options, and the improved stealth, platforming, and hand to hand...too good.

Also, ND continue to create the best vistas in gaming.

 

[1st Course]

I've captured those 2 from youtube, it's amazing how those skin textures look:

Wow looks great

 

[Galdelico]

Ok, that looked quite impressive. The scale, the environmental detail, the new possibilities... It all sounds like a true evolution of Uncharted gameplay formula.

Climbing animations still look a bit off at times, but hey.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I can see why it's 60fps, dosn't look as impressive as the Uncharted games on PS3.

wut

 

[Phat Michael]

Looks damn impressive to me.

 

[Business]

Well that's a classic, people have some expectations, they get disappointed with whatever you show them and once the dust settles the hype goes up again. I think it looked absolutely fantastic.

 

[Loudninja]

I can see why it's 60fps, dosn't look as impressive as the Uncharted games on PS3.

My head hurts.

 

[Genio88]

Have you noticed how Nathan waddles? he looks more like Lara now

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

wut

I mean relative to the hardware.

 

[Reallink]

Looked like a UC2/UC3 1080p remaster with vegetation density dialed up. Textures specifically looked like repurposed PS3 shit.

 

[thefro]

Looks really nice but I had pretty high expectations.

Some solid improvements from UC3 but I didn't see anything really major that's going to really freshen up the gameplay. Looks like another Uncharted game.

The AI seemed like a big improvement but we'll see what happens when people get an actual hands-on with it.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

In the cutscene at the end it looks great, but in gameplay it's really not impressive at all IMO.

well that is to be expected cause there not going to use same model for gameplay as a cutscene .

 

[charsace]

Some of you are over hyping the graphics. Ryse, ACU, The Order, Alan Wake and some other games look just as good.

 

[blastprocessor]

I can see why it's 60fps, dosn't look as impressive as the Uncharted games on PS3 (relative to the hardware, I mean).

I'd suggest getting your eyes checked.

 

[martino]

This e3 footage seems almost like CGI. The current footage is nothing like it. So ppl saying its a massive downgrade has some merit.

it was claimed to be realtime on ps4.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

wut

Think for a second about what he means.

Considering the hardware capabilities, Uncharted games on the PS3 were more impressive than this, is what he's saying. Relative graphical output vs. hardware power.

I'm not sure I agree with him, though. People think the PS4/XBO are much more powerful than they apparently are.

 

[Loudninja]

Yeah loving the new improvements.

 

[zychi]

Yep. Typical game trailer BS, but no one is going to throw a shit storm because it's Naughty Dog and not Ubi or EA.

Can't wait to play it tho

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Looks fantastic.

 

[Dictator93]

Looked like a UC2/UC3 1080p remaster with vegetation density dialed up. Textures specifically looked like repurposed PS3 shit.

That is the AF, or lack thereof.

Textures looked totally fine otherwise.

 

[Ateron]

Running above 15fps in prealpha is often an achievement.

I wasn't aware that the game is still in pre-alpha. Then I will give them the benefit of the doubt. If this is able to run close to locked 60 for most of the time it's quite the achievement.

 

[Alienous]

Drake has beady eyes.

 

[Kezen]

Some of you are over hyping the graphics. Ryse, ACU, The Order, Alan Wake and some other games look just as good.

I think Ryse is definitely a notch above (especially on my 970) but on XBO it does not aim for 60fps.

 

[ElTorro]

This e3 footage seems almost like CGI. The current footage is nothing like it. So ppl saying its a massive downgrade has some merit.

I think the different light conditions in the trailer and the gameplay are deceiving. When you look closely at the environment in the trailer, you can see that stones and water are as non-CG looking as in the gameplay demo.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Which I think is a fair trade. There's no use in wasting resource on such subtle details for the gameplay model when the player will almost never see those details while playing. It would be a waste.

Yeah, I'm not really complaining, just trying to explain the difference between ULTRA SUPER ANTI-ALIASED OMG cutscene at E3 and the actual targeting for 1080p/60fps gameplay with big open environments and set pieces and individual elements flying around. I think its gonna look very impressive, and better yet play really well with the higher resolution and framerate like The Last of Us Remastered did.

Just people expecting Uncharted 4 to be DEM GRAPHICS might want to look towards The Order or some shit.

 

[lmpaler]

I do not know what to say honestly except this, I am now buying a PS4 next year.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

is this game real life? i feel like its a camera guy following around a guy killing people

 

[Ishida]

Some of you are over hyping the graphics. Ryse, ACU, The Order, Alan Wake and some other games look just as good.

Of those games, only The Order comes close.

And Alan Wake? Are you for real?

 

[T.O.P]

I've captured those 2 from youtube, it's amazing how those skin textures look:

 

[marc^o^]

I feel this game needs a reinvention. I see all this climbing and I'm already knowing I won't enjoy it this time. Uncharted 2 easily got my GOTY vote on GAF, but Uncharted 3 bored me halfway through, same with the Vita opus, which I started in January and never completed.

If only they could go back to the purity of U2's online mode, now it would remove all my concerns.

As for the single player mode, so far it looks like U4 suffers from some kind of NSMBU syndrom.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Of those games, only The Order comes close.

And Alan Wake? Are you for real?

Maybe you can argue the others, but Alan Wake really made me laugh

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Did anyone actually expect it to look as good as the E3 showing?! Of course its not going to.

Oh I think tons of people thought it would look better

 

[Latvian Hitman]

So is it gonna be 60fps or 30fps? Seems a bit unprofessional to claim 60 and then show the game running at 30. I believe in optimization as much as anyone else, but doubling the framerate in a year?

Not necessarily doubling. It's quite possible that the game is currently fluctuating between 40 and 60 a lot right now, and they may have just decided to do a locked 30 for this presentation to avoid all that.

 

[Croyles]

What is wrong with some people? Is this thread for real?

I don't know what people were expecting I guess...

The gameplay looks varied and fun.

 

[Reallink]

That is the AF, or lack thereof.

Textures looked totally fine otherwise.

Was referring primarily to the close up climbing sequences where the textures were largely viewed perpendicularly and AF shouldn't be a factor.

 

[Randam]

I've captured those 2 from youtube, it's amazing how those skin textures look:

btw.: the dude looks almost nothing like drake.

 

[therealminime]

Here are a few grabs from the Gamersyde version:

 

[RoboPlato]

I wasn't aware that the game is still in pre-alpha. Then I will give them the benefit of the doubt. If this is able to run close to locked 60 for most of the time it's quite the achievement.

Corrinne Yu has a tweet a while back about the frametimes for TLoUR. I did the math and it was running at 15fps a couple weeks before launch. I'm guessing ND toned down some effects to get it to 30 for demo purposes. Here's hoping they're still going for 60.

 

[PSOreo]

Looked pretty enough but the gameplay seemed kind of shallow...was really expecting something new and I was waiting for the big set piece they normally show when demo Uncharted. Remember the crumbling hotel and helicopter attack demo? Disappointed nothing gripped me.

 

[TAJ]

So is it gonna be 60fps or 30fps? Seems a bit unprofessional to claim 60 and then show the game running at 30. I believe in optimization as much as anyone else, but doubling the framerate in a year?

Halo CE's frame rate was almost unplayable six months before the release date.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

I think it looks absolutely amazing. I mean - look at that vegetation. And that terrain - how complex it is. And those faces. If this is as good as it gets visually this gen, I'm going to be perfectly satisfied.

 

[Surface of Me]

Maybe you can argue the others, but Alan Wake really made me laugh

The fact that QB is a thing especially makes the comparison strange, considering it looks like that runs on a modified AW engine.

 

[CyberPunked]

btw.: the dude looks almost nothing like drake.

It's almost as though people age with time...

 

[Jack Scofield]

Nice how you can get back into stealth during/after firefights.

 

[valkyre]

Looked like a UC2/UC3 1080p remaster with vegetation density dialed up. Textures specifically looked like repurposed PS3 shit.

You have got to be kidding... or trolling...

 

[benzy]

Hair and lighting fidelity definitely isn't as good as the reveal teaser. They still have quite a bit of time to match it though.

 

[cgcg]

^ Obviously they are different locations and lighting conditions. Can't be serious right?

Exact same quality. So good.
