Yea I'm noticing a big downgrade honestly

Really? Lol. The textures on the ridge of the cliff and rocks are improved, along with those on Drake's top, there's also added vegetation density and motion blur. People all too easily confuse preferred art direction (Eg in this instance less saturated colours) with actual downgrades. This is an upgrade, it's just a lot more colourful and in direct sunlight.

+ More natural looking figure (neck size)
+ Clothes look to be more 3d and textured
+ More individual strands of hair
+ No border around the lips

- lighting (not sure if downgrade, but different in a way I don't like as much)

The motion blur is making that comparison less effective than it would be otherwise. I prefer the more lush look and vibrant colors personally, that's what I associate with Uncharted.
Yup. If this was The Last Of Us, I'd have an issue with the more colorful look. But this style is exactly what I expect and associate with Uncharted.

Really not believing the little brother childhood flashback. Feels like a huge retcon.

CGs downgrade...
 
I prefer the more saturated colours of the final game, makes it look slightly cartoony which I really dig. And I'm just a sucker for vibrant colours in games.

Ok reality check time. Overall Uncharted 4 is the best looking console game I have ever seen. The Order 1886 has been surpassed as an overall package but the textures on materials in Uncharted 4 are not as good as the material textures in the Order. Looking over the different fabrics and metals they look more realistic in the Order. Funny thing is the character models in Uncharted 4 are on par and or better which makes this stand out even more. I like the look of Uncharted 4 more especially the vast areas that underwater scene in particular looked amazing but it brings up a question.

Does Sony have access to Ready at Dawns engine or just the IP? That material pipeline is really on another level.

The new lighting and changes look a whole lot better. Why would any one associate Uncharted with dark and muted overtones? It's always been about vibrance and color.

I'm not saying you are wrong in your assessment, but the Order has a more realistic art style which may contribute to you feeling that way.

is still alive?

Gosh, that just made my mind run with possibilities.

Imagine if
Nate is locked up, like his brother was, and loses 20 (or so) years of his life. And life moves on without him. They could go full 'Brooks was here'.

Man, the ending could be amazing. Oh I'm so excited.

ND keeps blowing my mind by what they are able to accomplish. I absolutely cannot wait for this game to come out. Everything looks incredible!

I agree. The foliage in that comparison GIF reminds me of UC1. Especially the PS4 remaster.
 
I prefer the more saturated look having played the MP beta. Maybe if I hadn't, I would have liked the PSX one more.

The jungle map was way better looking then Madagascar.

Sorry if you compare the hq e3 gameplay trailer to the hq story trailer, the game looked much better before

From an objective standpoint looks like some things are nicer looking like the vegetation while others look slightly less sharp, so no it's mostly still a neutral change. Sorry but you can't look at those comparisons and tell me the PSX is significantly better than the story trailer.

I like the new more vibrant look, fits in better with the semi cartoon'y look of the previous games in the Uncharted series. Glad they haven't gone with the more bleak realistic look of Last of Us.

?

TLOU was still pretty colorful and stylized.
