Sorry to bring the negativity - it just doesn't seem possible. It's maybe a bit of a step down from the trailer, but the shadows are still crazy. How would that be possible in split screen no less.

PC version does not have split-screen.

With SLI Titan Xs I can see it.

Otherwise I'd have to agree with the other guy when he says other companies should just give up now, or get their engines up to speed fast.

 

[Alienous]

There are places in the galaxy where you would call this compression.

I know, I just want it to be real.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Lol i dont see a step down. Looks the same.

 

[lefox360]

are these guys giants, or is that girl small. i like small girls.

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.

Different developers, different engines, games at different points of their development, different games. I'm optimistic. Sure there may be some downgrade, but I think we'll look back at these shots and be satisfied with what got. Only ones who will probably be able to tell the difference are people who will overly analyze. Like "oh slightly less grass here" or "oh that Stormtrooper outfit is missing a scratch on its texture"

Yeah, it might not even be, which is even more worrying.

 

[todahawk]

Ha, good catch!

This word is the key to the universe here. It's why it looks the way it does and how it's possible while running smoothly. Go play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter to get a representation of just how good it can look and run. For more details, see this link.

The game WILL look this good. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter has already proven this technology. Done. Deal.

According to GameStop there'll be a total of 4 of these Dev Diaries.

Unresized version.

Bottom image looks graphically more or less like BF4. Not seeing anything that's impossible to achieve.

Hyped

Believe.

 

[Plasma]

i like how they are taking pics of death star up close, even though it is now confirmed there are no space battles in this game. what a bunch clowns!

I would imagine you could see it in the sky while on Endor.

 

[Cheat Code]

AAA current-gen exclusive shooter with split-screen.

Fuck.

Yes.

i loved the vanishing of ethan carter, but it´s a pretty, pretty different game, in Ethan Carter you walk through a beatiful world in wich nothing happens, well something happens, but not in the scale that this is purported to be, i have no doubts that the game will look good, but i don´t think it will even look as good as the vanishing of ethan carter

 

[Enthus]

It bothers me that they are using the ROTJ Stormtrooper for all of the maps, but whatever. I can nitpick for days regarding costumes in Star Wars.

The Stormtrooper armor varies between movies? I had no idea.

 

[GooWop]

All the DLC we're going to have to buy to recoup the cost of the graphics...

lol'd

I have never purchased dlc for any game.
I wonder if Dice a get me to bite

premium is a good deeeeeeaaaaaal i know ill be getting the starwars version of it day one

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

In BF4s first Campaign Mission there is some very impressive little forest that reminds me of this Battlefront forest. I dont think that this impossible.

 

[nubbe]

Preorder a DICE game?
You think I'm crazy?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Are we sure there will be a premium edition? because i find it weird that you can now pre-order the standard and deluxe edition.

 

[VincentMatts]

39 years old and i dont remember the last time i was this excited for a video game. Bring it.

already have deluxe preorder on origin but im sure they will have the premium equivalent for the game as well that typically comes out a little after launch lets see if we get any news on it during e3

 

[nib95]

If it looks anything like that...wow. My mind is all sorts of blown right now. This could either end up being a huge downgradathon or graphical departure, or it could be the first multiplatform game that really stands toe to toe, or better with the first party stuff.

I've been talking about Star Wars for three days straight. It's like I took a time machine to 16 years ago.

 

[Mullah88]

Over the shoulder bullshit! Sigh, true 3rd person views are dead

Yeah, i definitely feel the same.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Relax this is probably just when you zoom in to aim better.

 

[Enthus]

The Stormtrooper armor varies between movies? I had no idea.

Yep. They vary within the movies, too, based on whether it was a "hero"(close-up) or "stunt"(background) suit.

The biggest tell that this is a ROTJ based Stormtrooper is the frown being painted black and outside of the grooves, and the armor having lips on all the edges instead of just ending.

Is the no PC split-screen confirmed, or just what you think? If it is looks like I'll have to get a PS4 or Xbox One and wait for a used copy of the game.

 

[Tubie]

What they've shown is so far beyond what I thought the PS4 could do (graphics wise), that even if there is a considerable downgrade the game might still end up being the best looking PS4 game released to date.

 

[ShamePain]

Well, the graphics sure look better than Phantom Menace.

 

[cardsbasebal]

aren't they just showing the same screen in third person and first person? Do we have a confirmation of split screen?

 

[injurai]

Well, the graphics sure look better than Phantom Menace.

Attack as well. I always wondered what the future would feel like, this is it.

 

[Bahlor]

Nah... look at the stormtrooper. 2 different angles, seems to be splitscreen mode. Looks ace! Hype intensifies

 

[Tubie]

I think it is officially confirmed by the devs that the game will have split screen.

 

[Nabbis]

That X-wing Gif is basically what i foresee the game actually looking. With a shitton lensflare effects that is.

 

[mckmas8808]

All the DLC we're going to have to buy to recoup the cost of the graphics...

I have no problem with this.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Its gorgeous

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Remember that split screen is limited to small missions only.

Say what?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

i like how they are taking pics of death star up close, even though it is now confirmed there are no space battles in this game. what a bunch clowns!

and is it just me or do most of the maps look very uninspiring? generic desert, generic forest, generic snow map and a generic lava map

lol

Who says we don't fight in the Death Star?

 

[injurai]

Over the shoulder bullshit! Sigh, true 3rd person views are dead

Relax this is probably just when you zoom in to aim better.

Hopefully, I certainly don't want it perma locked behind the shoulder. I love how MGS4 handled movement and aiming. I think that is the perfect way to implement combat in this.

 

[NeXuSDK]

are these guys giants, or is that girl small. i like small girls.

It's a combination of tall guys and a fairly short girl

 

[NeXuSDK]

Good catch - less good catch if you didn't see it in the E3 2014 video

 

[Popsickles]

Am I the only person who saw the disclaimer at the end. Frostbyte Game Engine footage. Not Actual Gameplay. If anyone thinks it will look remotely like any of the Bullshots is crazy. Have we not been burned enough already.

So no hip firing, I must hit L2 before I can fire? That's even worse! I want to be able to hip fire, now if i want to fine tune my shots (which I know will slow the character down), I can hit L2 to aim.

Don't forget about PBR!

Also makes a substantial visual difference.
