I can confirm that it does indeed use parallax occlusion mapping on the ground in the intro. What a weird thing to add when you can't even be bothered to implement anisotropic filtering... PS4 version btw.
I'm really curious to know who worked on this port, I didn't know that POM wasn't implemented in the PC version in any way shape or form. Hopefully Digital Foundry will do an analysis of the port in the near future.
POM but no AF? What is this madness?!

I got the game coming in the mail tomorrow for ps4. Never played it. Hyped. 
If you mean in the PC version I don't think they added anything in a patch. Hopefully but I'm not holding my breath.
I think he's comparing it to the PC version running with max settings. It seems like this port isn't a straight up carbon copy of the pc version with zero visual changes. Having never played Dishonored before I'm not entirely bothered by the lack of 60 fps (although it should be more than achievable considering the visuals on display) but the lack of AF in the PS4 build really hurts the look of the game.
Might be a case where it was relatively simple for the devs to add lightshafts and POM because UE3 now supports those features? I get the feeling that Arkane themselves might have worked on this? Honestly if they could implement AF and give us an option to disable the heart voice coming from the controller than I would be moderately satisfied considering the price I paid for this version.
Also, why the hell is this version 32GB compared to the PC version which clocks in at 5.3GB on Steam?
Its standard UE3 effect. It was in every version of the game.

Ok, I did verify that the PC version does not have POM (honestly it doesn't make much of a difference, the specific ground texture is the same otherwise) but it seems like the PS4 version uses lower resolution assets on trees and some foliage (only checked the intro) which is just ridiculous.
What a frankenstein port, I really want to know who worked on this now.

watch this lazy port get torn a new one by eurogamer digital foundry and then watch Bethesda announcing patch to "fix" game.
this generation is a joke.
this generation is a joke.
As someone who's never played this game before and is uninterested in tech stuff, is this worth getting over the PS3 version? The sequel made me wanna check this out, but I can't tell if people mean bad port as in worse than original or bad port as in, not taking advantage of the hardware.
Well, seems its exactly the same game in 1080p with all DLC included.
Decide for yourself if it´s worth 20 (or 40) USD/ to you.

I'm wondering the same thing. This version is huge. I guess they just didn't compress anything and the previous platform versions were very compressed?
Even with the DLC, that seems large. Even moreso considering they haven't seemed to have added any new textures or anything.

I doubt we'll see much of an improvement regardless. Maybe AF, but the textures won't get a bump most likely, and 60 fps is probably out too. Lazy ports like this usually remain that way.

Handsome collection got a significant framerate improvement and multiple patches to increase loot drop rates a few weeks after release- theres always hope

Ok putting graphical "tweaks" aside, I still don't understand why this isn't 60fps on PS4 and XB1.
It's obvious that they can handle it going by the recommended specs and anecdotal evidence of people running it at 60fps on G/CPU's weaker than that of the two consoles. I think that's the part that irritates me the most.
That and the fact that they were very quite on the port. Their silence speaks volumes.

Is that what matters? If you have fun or not?

True, but 12 pages of it is getting old.
I have the feeling that anyone complaining games on PC since they care so much about 60 FPS, so they can just play the PC version.
Game and the DLC is really awesome BTW for anyone who missed it. I would recommend not upgrading blink though and turning off all the waypoint markers.
After all the ups and downs I now can't wait to finally play it. Never finished it on PS3 despite playing it almost to the end (I think). Game is awesome and I really hope Arkane bothers to patch the last minor bugs like AF on PS4. The dream of 60fps is dead tho. But why have I to wait till friday as digital king and disc peasants playing already? Unfair!

Indeed. I was reluctantly still on-board, but this *ahem* tears it.
Yes, because console remasters are a straight rip-off.
If you buy a PC game, you buy it once. When you get better hardware, the game will scale dynamically to the new hardware and provide better graphics and FPS. All for one initial purchase price.
Meanwhile on consoles... you have to first buy a totally new game. And then, if you are lucky you actually get any improvements.
They're not in the slightest, but whatever. This is a completely boring argument.
Oh lawd. The High Voltage rumours might yet be true.

I played this last night for about 10 min on XB1 and I thought it looked horrible. Instant regret once I noticed some frame pacing issues. Maybe the new patch helped?

Waited 30 seconds to make sure it was fully loaded.
Edit: PS4
Waited a full 2 minutes left the area and came back to make sure it wasn't a UE3 loading issue.
Nope

I know, it boggles the mind why they released this like they have.
Just played through the opening two areas (the start and the "first" mission). The game looks really good, it's definitely a better looking version than the last gen versions but doesn't reach the PC version's heights (I'd say it is like the PC version on high settings). It is 30fps, which to some may be a blow, but to me it's fine, it looks to be a stable 30, unless it falls apart in later missions when it gets more open during missions. That screen tearing Xbox clip from earlier seems to be a Borderlands: Pre-Sequel problem, present in the Xbox One version and not there on PS4. Textures, well, some look incredible, some not at all, that valve screenshot is a good example. But some of the textures look awesome. It's unfortunate that everyone is hung up on the visuals, the game still plays great and it is an improvement, just not the improvement everyone was expecting. I'm impressed with it!
No idea. Will have to wait for the credits unless it was internal.
I blame the lazy devs.

Already confirmed to be in both versions. It's a very small section of the sewers though. Tearing doesn't appear to be a regular occurrence.
I'm surprised too. I played Dishonored on a 7870/3570 machine. That's more powerful than a PS4, especially the processor. The GPU is comparable though. Why do I mention this? Because I could play it at locked 30 FPS at 4K! 1080 would seem like a breeze even with the restrictions of the hardware.

Luckily, I am getting this shipped to me from Gamefly. I never beat it last gen and I'll let you all know how it plays on the PS4.

Well, it's a remaster of an older game. Usually with the point of a 'remaster', visual and performance enhancements are implied, hence people's focus on them. And they failed miserably here.
Exactly. I don't see the incentive to spend the money no matter how small it is when I own the game already. Especially as it's been given away on both GWG and Plus at this point.
I see this more as something for people who have never played the game before. I don't know, maybe I'm just more forgiving to the game.
