Honestly, this crap never changes. It's not hard to extrapolate data from the graphics of other games and determine the type of power you might need for something. I can see this being hard for console only players, but there's no excuse aside from koolaid otherwise.

The gameplay model don't look as good as cut scene model was a given.
If you look at the end of demo the models look closer to the E3 one.

Zealots why? There is substantial evidence of your own gloss on AC Unity...which looks great in many ways but has some of the worst pop in of any game I have seen. You ask for substantiation...but then make unsubstantiated claims i.e. Farcry has better foliage.
This isn't going to be constructive anyway. Comparisons are pretty futile at this level. Personally, I think this handily looks better Unity. You will probably too though when you play it. You had the same approach with BF4 pre-release...then re-enacted

Doesn't look bad, but it's just... Uncharted.
i think it looks fantastic. i appreciate this style of lighting that some are characterizing as "flat"; to me it, looks more painterly than the overly-fussy "film noir" look that so many developers prefer. they do need to work on making the platforms more irregular-looking in the cave. also i'm tired of the "platforming" in this series; it's an unchallenging chore. wish they would loosen it up so it was more like sketching on the fly versus connecting the dots. it does look like they're trying to be a little more variable with it, so i'll be minorly optimistic about that aspect.

Absolutely loving the free-form, multi-tiered, and open approach they are taking the gameplay this time around. Seems A LOT more exploratory and inviting for mutiple play-throughs and/or speed running. I really hope what was shown here is consistent throughout the game.
I'll agree the hair has taken a downgrade but how about we wait and compare the actual cutscene before jumping to all these rash conclusion for the sake of trying downplay something that we all know looks fucking amazing. It rather pitiful watching some of you look for any way to discredit something that looks amazingly good to begin with.

I was impressed. Looks like stealth works a lot better and I liked the new moves.
edit: theres a backlash about the visuals? I think thats probably a result of all the hyperbole after the e3 trailer. The game looks good.

The only thing that matters in Naughty Dog games are gameplay footage, because they pre-render all of their cutscenes.
The E3 footage was claimed to be running in real time on the PS4 in engine at 60 fps. That specific scene may very well have been. No AI or anything else to account for obviously doesn't stress the anemic CPU in the PS4, allowing for more to be done without sacrificing frames.
It doesn't really matter, though, since they'll almost certainly go the pre-rendered route for cut scenes again. They've got plenty of space and it helps them mask load times, so it's a win-win solution.
I think the in-game footage looks great, for the record. I'm excited to play it. But if your argument is that no one ever expected the gameplay footage to look like the E3 reveal (which they shouldn't have in the first place), well, then I guess I'm arguing in here with no one. I don't know why anyone would care about cut scene footage, though.
100.
Trailer was a sham from the beginning. Final game will look decent enough, but I'm not expecting anything much better than what we've already seen from this gen.
The opportunity for stealth is what excited me most. Throw in some camo and you've got mgs3.
Just keep on digging deeper.
Insanity.
One's a cutscene model, the other isn't (it's from the very beginning of today's game demo, which is the gameplay model).

??? The cutscenes were real time in this...

I thought it looked good. I like how they really are trying to increase the open world combat and vertical element a lot here. That looks fun to play. Hiding in the shrubs also looked pretty slick as well. 60fps is great too.

uhh yah, why else would they make a trailer like that? oh right, to give people false hope.
You're not alone.
Even though I've played Ryse, Crysis 3, Unity on my fairly high end system (4770K/970) I was expecting significantly more out of UC4. To me the above mentioned games look much better on my PC, but that's just me probably.

It doesn't matter what was acceptable last gen. You're simply moving goalposts there. Just think about what they could do with visuals in this game if they chose to go for 900p and crappy framerate, if it already looks comparable to them at higher resolution and framerate. It also does animate better than anything other there, including AC:U, both in cutscenes and gameplay. What bothers me in AC:U gameplay animations is that stuff like running is still a very visible repeated loop, and doesn't look natural at all.

Its the ps3 all over again. Uc1 wasn't that impressive to what they did in uc2.

Yeah, doesn't look like a generational leap at all. Lol

ND already said that there not going the pre-rendered route for cut scenes .
It will be real time because pre-rendered will take up to much space.

This is my case-closed post. It looks like that and still doubles the framerate and resolution of Uncharted 3. F off, haters.
The only thing better than the graphics is the level design.
What an incredible combat scenario. There are different levels, multiple pathways, the option to go stealthy or full combat. It's huge and open ended. They've had levels like this in previous games but they've never been this big.
Get me aboard the hype train.

I feel the need to download the gamersyde video and make a webm of the scene where he's looking out in the distance with the birds, that was just insane.

This thread...
Seriously, Uncharted 4 is gonna be fucking amazing.
Looks pretty good but the gameplay just doesn't seem interesting enough anymore. All the little touches and animations are there but they only carry you so far. Story and characters help too, but I never cared too much about any of the characters in Uncharted.
I wish they made Uncharted games as 4-5 hour 30 games instead of stretching them too long and asking 70-75. Split the game in half, sell them half-price with a year or two in-between or something. I know 10 hours or so isn't really that long, but I get tired of that gameplay well before the end although I always enjoy the first few hours.
The obvious solution is to wait for a sale and I hope I manage to do that with UC4.

There is only one generation of consoles where 3d games ran at 30 or more for a good amount of games and that is the PS2/GCN/Xbox generation. outside of that generation 3d games on consoles have been 30 or less.

Footage doesn't do a very good job of conveying the incredible visuals we saw with the debut trailer.
It looks washed out in comparison. Might have been a better idea to choose a different location to showcase in the first gameplay demo, this one didn't do the game many favours in terms of showcasing the visuals.

So they added some gaussian bloom and sharper specular maps.
