They're actually still pre-rendered, just re-rendered in 1080/60. I'm pretty sure it's because it would have been way too much wasted time trying to run them natively on PS4 as they were built for their custom stacked PS3 hardware to render.

No, PS4 version will have pre-rendered cutscenes [offline render of game engine].
Cutscenes are sometimes needed to hide loading, to showcase much larger amount of assets [for example 50 detailed chars of screen, better "cinematic" lighting], to show quick jumps between totally different areas [that cant fit in ram], or sometimes even detailed char performance sessions that are only binded to HQ models.

I´m ready to enjoy this masterpiece once again. Also recall the good times with TLOU-GAF in its multiplayer.
Bring it on!
EDIT: Who´s doing the OT?

It could look and play exactly like it did on PS3 and I'd still have this raging boner.

They have Uncahrted 4
It might not exceed the expectations and standards set by the PS3 release.

Yeah, i know it's not pre-load enabled for some strange reason. Sony trying to throw me a curveball and doubt my decision to go digital only for everything.

It will play exactly like the PS3 version, it's the same game lol.

Because the preorder started before the pre-load SDK release...

I want to hear it from him.
But to respond to you, how could it not be better than the original? Same game, twice the resolution, twice the framerate. What's the fear?
I meant in terms of framerate.
That it's just a res/framerate boost port.

Well it not play like PS3 version... the controls will be more responsive in 60fps... and the graphics are upped too
30 to 60fps affect gameplay.

That's the bulk of what it is, though. If you're expecting massively redone lighting and character models, that's not going to happen. The improvements in those areas will surely be subtle. Have ND set an expectation for you that those things will be massively improved, or did you just let your imagination run wild?
This is good haha

How 'bout a gameplay trailer, Naughty Dog? I need to see how beautiful it is with my own eyes
I think some of us were hoping for an asset overhaul of the same quality as the next-gen GTA V port. But I'm not complaining, just my personal expectations.

They could rerelease the footage they've already shown, would that work?

Haha Destiny will be my first official digital purchase. I might still go Digital on this one if Sony offers an upgrade plan from PS3.

I know people love to bang that drum, but a game that plays as slowly and deliberately as this will not be appreciably affected by 60fps for most people. Yes, it will be objectively more responsive, but I question whether it will change the amount of skill a player is actually able to express. We're not talking about Street Fighter here.
That's exactly what it's saying.

They've also reworked the lighting engine, put in high-res textures, in-game character models are taken straight from cutscenes now among other things.
This is getting sad

What do we even know about the GTAV port? Have we seen more of that than of this remaster?
