Your .gif are also 20MB. Looks great though!

My bandwidth...
Edit: Apparently it has about the same size as a gif but stutters more.

getting longer animated clips using APNG will give you huge ass files, now imagine something like SunhiLegend long gif but made by APNG, yeah that will be a nightmare. GIF still the way to go for longer clips, this thing should stay for screenshot comparisons only.

I don't even get the comparison ("death to the GIF!"), as none of the examples in OP seem to be animated. Maybe he meant death to the JPEG? They're just those things you see on every website for platform comparisons of games.
People have been using dithered 256 color gifs to compare platform differences, which obviously doesn't work out well quality wise.
It's obviously not going to take over gif for everyday uses, but for the flood of comparison threads to come we shouldn't be using super lossy compression to compare.

*the rifle doesn't even get wet*
Heads must fall over this.
Honestly, as it stands, I think the best example for comparison is to just post two images and people can open them in a seperate tab and switch back and forth to compare.
Until APNG is completely adopted in firefox and chrome, it's not really viable.

try and reload the page.
New FrostBite tech, water repellent guns.
Is there any way to optimize, aside from culling frames?
Have to download an addon? Failed format.
Why does it stutter so badly? I thought it was while loading but it stutters like hell

I use APNG Anime Maker. It comes with a GUI. Old version from 2009 but it works.

Might want to add that to OP.

Wut? Firefox was one of the first browsers (if not THE first) to support APNG.
It's been there for quite a long time. ROFL. Just checked.. been there in trunk builds since March 23, 2007.

Your gif runs at a crappy framerate (quality is delicious tho) Here's how it's done!
Is this the new killzone?

Oh now I get it, my bad. This thread is about platform comparisons exclusively, not about death to the general use of GIFs. I've really mostly encountered PNGs as used for comparisons, not GIFs. Keep it up.
You're joking right..?
Sorry, I guess the proper way for me to say it would have been "Until it's implemented in the most popular browsers". I know it's implemented in Firefox, but people don't post them because users on Chrome most likely won't be able to view them.

Works fine here, Opera 19 dev release.
heh, you just defeated the entire tutorial. added.

the resogun gif i made was 45mb big or sth.
it looks like it would be over a 100mb with apng.
the ideal solution would be totally new file extension.

Curious tidbit: Opera 12.x and lower has native support for APNG, mainly implemented to be able to do high quality animations in the UI (spinners and such), but as a side effect also works fine on web pages.
The future of APNG is bleak, though. Chrome won't implement it (webp animated is happening, though), the PNG group is not interested, and it's unlikely it will be implemented in future Opera versions (those based on Chromium's content layer+blink). IE won't have it either, Safari heh.

It's also 21 MBs which is like seven time more than any gif should be!
Wowza!

Animated PNG is obviously superior to an animated GIF, but particularly so in animations that have lots of color gradients.
Here's a couple of such examples of mine.
The quality... dear god the quality.
Another advantage of APNG is for 60 FPS games. GIF can do 50 and 100 fps, but nothing in between. I'm working on a 60fps APNG right now. lol

Chrome users can just install an extension to enable support for them. What's the problem?
I can't imagine why anyone would use Chrome in a GIF heavy thread on NeoGAF anyhow. Firefox is the superior experience there. (And everywhere else, for me...)

death to gifs? More like death to bandwidths.

Definitely interested, is there a video to APNG converter out there as it would make creating animations a lot quicker to export a photoshop animation to video then APNG.
Still, dat file size. Poor guys with crappy broadband miss out, the counterpoint to that would be... deal with it.

Lovely, isn't it. Like a breath of fresh air compared to GIFs
Yet those were made out of already compressed videos so the quality can be even better.

Comparison APNGs shouldn't be enormous even at 1080p. Again, the main point is comparisons. Lossless comparisons.

I was thinking the same thing! Must be coated in that neverwet stuff...

Beautiful.
I don't know why but the APNGs in the OP just slideshow between two different images.

At that point you should be using uh, video formats to show videos
