DAT physicsPube physics at last. Next gen is here!
Well when you put it that way, sometimes you just got to dive in headfirst.In this case, "taking one for the team" would be quite a large step in my personal development, both as a man and a human being.
My friend is at the "bringing Nathan Drake to PS4" panel and here are some pictures (sorry for the bad quality).
Thanks for these, wow Uncharted 3 looks like shit now.
After seeing the updated model, the anime doll eyes are made incredibly apparent.

What a great analysis! Thanks for posting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcQ_VJX0BNo
NXGamer posted an analysis of the demo. Lots of little details I didn't notice before that definitely takes my view of the tech in this up a notch.

honestly i vastly prefer UC4's style. That scene was my favorite part of the whole demo due to how painterly it looked, and the artists talent shined through so hard it was difficult not to gasp.
I looooves it
I'm a 35 year old heterosexual male and I'd happily mount that fine stallion.
Shirtless Drake eh? I think that will make some ladies very happy... xD
I've watched the clip several times.
Positives:-
New animations and melee
Has that Uncharted 1 vibe (jungle setting l love it)
Best anti-aliasing I've seen - stunning in fact
Kinda like the rope (Nod to tomb raider)
Like the metal clip used for climbing - makes for more interesting and potentially challenging traversal
A.I move around more and jump (nice)
Real time cut scenes (at last)
Area feels more open and possibly more paths?
Superb sound - guns sounded amazing and great voice work (feels like more variety)
Foliage allows stealth (very nice - Crysis 3 vibe lol)
Thought the smoke was nice
Nice DOF
Liked how the A.I hung onto Drakes foot wonder if they can climb back up??
Faces look amazing - SSS shader??
Negatives:-
Didn't think much of the water when panning around at the start (water fall was nice though)
You can see the grip points on rocks (seems a bit too obvious). Would like to be able to climb anywhere but that's probably too ambitious
30hz (one hopes they are still targeting 60 fps but doubt they will hit it with graphics like this)
Some of Drakes animations feel twitchy
Some rocks in obvious places
Some foliage pop-in - strange this one. On PS3 Naughty Dog use to bring in detail on a polygon by polygon basis (very clever l thought as it was damn subtle) now some of the foliage just pops-in (although rocks seem to draw on a polygon by polygon basis it didn't work with subtlety)
No ambient occlusion??
Needs a little motion blur (can't really tell if it's there and if so it's too subtle right now)
Some frame dips (makes me doubt the 60 fps target)
47 seconds into the clip noticed the holster belt pop/swap/settle in???
It's already pre-ordered since 10 June so day one for me!
The engine has been done and pretty much solid already. They ported TLOU to PS4 and UC4 is using the same engine. I see the new tricks they have in place: dynamic GI in caves with flashlight and the sphere-intersection based AO for ambient shadows. I don't think they are going to spend the bulk of their time next year optimizing rather it'll be used to continue making content to finish the game.
The most impressive things for me by far are the physics and collision detection. Very nicely done and definitely needed to be a step higher than what we are currently seeing.
Here are some info too:
NaughtyDog said that "a considerable time" has passed between UC3 and 4.
"Every single hair moves with wind and water. Hair has true physics, can get wet, move around the head as you run..."
Drake on PS4 has 800 facial combinations. Drake on PS3 had only 120. There's a video down below.

Yea, i noticed the holster belt jerk as well but I painstakingly scrutinized the rest of the character during the same time and there is no difference. I'd wager it's an animation glitch.
I don't see why they had to redesign his face. Surely they could used all that new skin and muscle and bone technology without changing his facial structure. He just looks like a different dude now. They Uncharted-3-Elena'd him.

I noticed that too when I watched the video, I'd be surprised to find any of that was photo-reference. There's some amazing texture art being done on this game for sure. Even though it's not as "realistic" it looks so good and speaks to the level of the artists.
Game is definitely, no question, a disappointment graphically. That first trailer set such a high bar. I'm a huge Naughty Dog fan, but they should've done better here. Sony is General is pretty much shitting the bed this generation, aside from Second Son, first party output has been, and continues to be underwhelming on a technical level. Not to mention just merely good (not saying they've been bad), but far from great. Even LBP3 was flaccid on arrival. I like underdog Sony much, much better.

Its a fantastic model, but I think Elise from Assassin's Creed Unity is not only a more ambitious model, its a far more detailed one as well.
Looking at the other cutscene in the demo, is seems the models in general aren't up to par with ACU, but this is pre-alpha so god only knows what's yet to be implemented lighting and complexity wise.

What?. You have to be trolling. This game looks absolutely amazing, and dare I say, maybe even better than Assassin's Creed Unity. ..
BROTHERRRRR!... although I draw the line at naked Drake.

New Drake definitely has more Nolan North mixed in.
Work is never done on a engine so of course they going to be optimizing it more.
Plus people that working on the engine not going to be same people making content .
this needs Kaz's face on it
