Bf4 had an Closed Alpha and a Beta(Demo). It didn't help clearly.

All the DLC we're going to have to buy to recoup the cost of the graphics...
You've watched Star Wars, right? The original trilogy which this is based off of?

Seemingly first look at third/first person mode.
The key takeaway for me here is that this is split screen. Not sure if the PC has a splitscreen mode as well (that would be odd), but this leads me to think that this is the PS4 version...
And still looking great.
kinda looks like split-screen concept art tbh
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
all of their games have had betas so i dont see why this would be any different
I would say the cost of the graphics is no campaign

Hey pubs...NO GAMEPLAY? No fucks given.
Sorry shinobi, you were too fast ^^
Idk why people say this isn't possible on consoles (yes even at 60 frames). It looks fantastic, but nothing that can't be done on the PS4/XboxOne. Especially for how long the team has been working on it and we are like 2 years into these console's generation.

Concept art? It's literally the same game-play space as the trailer, AND the gameplay demo shown behind closed doors.
Down to the character models, lighting, textures, etc.
Only a matter of time before we see gameplay at E3 and it looks almost exactly like the trailer minus cinematic flourish.
I know. But it would still be odd(IE not common). Only one I can think of is Left 4 Dead.

Took some screencaps.
This game will be stunning. Going to buy on PS4 for friends and PC for the graphics in 4K.
Took some screencaps.
...
I must say that the environments and models they've showed are very true to original films, pretty impressive how 'authentic' it looks.

Best highscore music ever that.

I'd have to believe that Naughty Dog doesn't know what they're doing if DICE can pull this off, on PS4 (along with XBONE and PC), at 60fps. Heck, I'd have to believe that Kojima Productions have lost all their technical capability.
Can't do it.

Oh, literally a screencap, even in the video. I was ready to make a gif...
Still, looks really good in that screencap.

Well they have already confirmed that the game looks like the trailer but with little to no AA.
But people are in denial about that.

Well even though it hasn't been confirmed, but I doubt it will be 60fps in split-screen. I wouldn't look down on Naughty Dog and Kojima technical capabilities because of another AAA developer DICE is bringing these graphics on the platforms at 60fps.
Look at Crysis 2 on PC, it still holds up to today's graphical standards especially with maldo's textures and from what we now know about the PS4s specs it should be capable of doing it as well.

First person view with that gun model has me all nostalgic for Dark Forces.

Thanks.
I knew there were shenanigans afoot. I don't know why DICE are doing this, they have to know that the more they keep pretending the game looks anything like that, the bigger the backlash will be when they unveil the real game.
It'll be Ass Creed Unity all over again. Unless they go out of their way to only demo the PC version running on whatever beastly cards are currently at the top of the power mountain.
Every generation has it's Gears of war/ uncharted 2 moment. Maybe people r expecting this to be it? Idk. I think the PC version can definitely look like the trailer but the console version, that's just crazy
I'm going to take a stab at this one despite having very little knowledge in the field relative to many of the fine folks on this site.
I think there's a huge difference in approach here and that's what's going to (maybe) carve things ahead for DICE on this project. Naughty Dog's campaigns are linear but they take a lot of development resources to get just right. DICE is tackling everything not just from a multiplayer-first but almost a multiplayer-only perspective. Yeah, it takes an arm and a leg to get stuff looking good in such a scenario, but omitting a narrative altogether saves a heck of a lot of time and effort to get that right. Meanwhile, Naughty Dog is working on ensuring that its single-player setpieces deliver the goods many, many times over the course of its ten-hour storylines.
Kojima Productions may have built the generally-stunning Fox Engine from scratch but it's looking at manufacturing a vast open world in several settings for MGSV. Huge, huge maps filled to the brim with seamless immersion and a metric overload of if: then clauses in the gameplay. So many different routes, so many different paths. That takes up a lot of effort too... and on top of that Kojima's attention to detail insists that the cutscenes themselves still look hot as hell.
DICE bypasses all this by saying, "we'll have big maps and we don't have to worry about narrative. We'll have diverse gameplay but we don't have to worry about players approaching anything remotely linear with myriad nonlinear styles. We're building a sort of sandbox and then we're done."
Oh I know that lol. It just would be nice to have someone say it.
Because nothing in that pic looks out of the realm of possibility. You're looking at a game not shackled by last gen hardware. DICE expanding on the amazing Frostbite engine. If I was worried about anything it would be that this game works at launch. Not how it looks lol.

this is a joke right?
Well said. On top of all of that, we haven't seen much of Uncharted nor Metal Gear... and on top of ALL of that... we haven't anything from Battlefront other than a 3 second snipit.
Unresized version.
The resolution seems quite poor. Might be for split-screen.
It's a great looking image but nothing out of the realm of possibility in my opinion.
There are places in the galaxy where you would call this compression.
