Deep Down sure looked a lot more impressive. In fact, it's still the only thing I've seen that really blew me away.
I don't see how that's a "sony fan" thing though. Although I guess I'm sort of becoming a Capcom fanboy lately.

Full Unreal Engine 4 Elemental demo video running on PS4

See the screenshots posted on the last page. It's not the same league.
The first UE3 demo running on PS3 wasn't all that impressive either. I think if you compared Gears 3 or even a multiplatform title like DMC to someone at that point, you'd probably shit your pants. Next gen will be fine for those who primarly game on console. If anything, PC users should be happy that the bar is finally being raised a bit for PC versions.

Yeah, this is just confirmation
For those of you saying it doesn't look a lot worse, here's a comparison Captain Smoker made between the PC demo and the demo that was shown during Sony's event.
Man that second screen looks like something I'd expect to run at 60 fps on the last GPU I had.

Not the best quality video obviously, but you can clearly see that the tech demo is pretty poor by today's standards. This was in 2005.

That is going to serve you well for some a good few years.

Fear not. There will be stuff on PS4 that will blow the PC away.

wow Fox Engine (lighting) just spanked the shit out of Epic's next-gen engine. I don't even want to know what this thing will look like running on the next xbox.

That too.

Particle effects and lighting constitute the main differences between the two versions; they might be the only significant differences. Depth of field is oddly absent in portions of the PS4 demo, which immediately makes it look worse - see the screenshot comparison in AstroZombie's post. The whole demo has also been brightened considerably from the PC version.
Geometry remains apparently unchanged between the two versions, which bodes well.

8 GB of DRR5 ain't gonna make up for the lack of pure processing power.
Noticeable hit in the lightning, IQ, particle effects and framerate. It's sad to think that a card from "early" 2012 has more power than what's coming out on the most powerful next gen platform in late 2013. But price plays a big factor I guess.
I wonder if EPIC will show this running on Durango, we might see another downgrade.
No. Just no.

But makes you wonder why Sony would greenlight showing a demo that looks substantially worse on PS4 than the PC counterpart.
To be honest that is going to be a bigger deal than a more powerful APU.

I wonder if the beta kits have the ACE changes. If not, that could make a huge difference.
Also, with the increase in ROPs, cant they do some SSAA?

Lol trust me, I'm not fearful. KZ Shadow Fall already looks better than anything I've seen on PC so far (besides Battlefield 4), in my opinion. I know for damn sure in a year or 2, stuff on PS4 will be jaw dropping.

If we gonna see something closer as the Infiltrator demo on PS4 (I'm sure we'll see it, at least from teams like Naughty Dog or Sony Santa Monica) I'll be happy with the graphical jump. Hell I'm already quite happy.

In a year or 2 stuff on PC will continue being jaw dropping. PC is gonna receive a boost from next gen development too.
A PC like architecture on these consoles is gonna be ace for PC versions. And PC versions will always look better, there's no way around it.
They are showing this at GDC, why would they be using the kit with 2.2 gb of GDDR5?!

Nah, Unreal has always looked and ran like shit on consoles. Gears and Batman(and to a extent Mass effect) are the only good looking games on consoles, everything else is mostly shit IMO. No hyperbole.
Guys, look at that screenshot! I can't believe you're not seeing what I am. Everything looks different! On PC, the castle looks like it's made out of stone, not melted wax like on PS4. Captain Smoker's armour looks completely different, same with the entrance arch.
Let's not even mention the particle effects. It's night and day difference.

This is the exact same demo as the one shown for PS4 initially.
Every PC/PS4 multiplat game will look better on a high end PC. PC will always look the best unless they do a horrid job porting, and even then PC will probably look better due to brute force.
Looks like the same demo they showed at the reveal no? On my mobile with poor signal, video isn't loading too well.

So I guess the 8GB GDDR5 hasn't made much of a difference.

The devs don't have kits with the 8GB yet.
Seriously it's an epic downgrade.Curious to see how it'll run on the next Xbox.

The video they showed during Sony conference wasn't running on PS4 I believe. But someone will have to check on that, I'm not sure.
They said it was, and they used a DS4 to manipulate it.
Doesn't look like they made any changes even looking at the sections we saw at the PS4 reveal.

Crytek should show off CE3 on PS4. I wonder if it'll look better than whatever the hell this shit is.
Yeah but indeed this is pretty bad in that case cause this demo screams "see all those nice shaders we have for next gen ? Well, they are not really running well on our console!"
When everyone with some lucidity knows that some PS4 games in 2 or 3 years will shit all over that demo. It's there to use the maximum power for things like particles etc.. when a smart graphic team will output something more impressive with 3 times less resources..

Why the hell are they showing this then. There's gonna be a massive upgrade in IQ at least.

that's pretty much obvious, isn't it?
who's saying that the pc version DOESN'T look better? that's how it works, pc versions will always look better. always have, always will.
meanwhile, trying to say that this isn't impressive and looks bad is, honestly, mind-boggling. it's meant to give you a glimpse of next-gen potential. graphics will improve, and consoles will still have exclusives that won't appear on pc.
what this demo shows me is that we're gonna have some great games on consoles visually, and i'm perfectly fine with knowing that some of those exclusive games will look great.
Cerny said it was running on PS4 prototype HW.
Not only that, the framerate also took a big hit. When it looks so different from the PC thing, you'd expect a decent framerate, at least.
I'm ready to see how will turn out on xbox 720 before to feel some panic...
