I really hope all the trailers get online in 1080p soon.
The stream really messed with my perception. I watched the Killzone stuff on facebook after the stream and was blown away.

Hopefully most of that will be fixed by E3.
The game is still ~9 months out, though. I'm not worried.
Actually, it might be one of my very most anticipated games of this entire year.
You are talking about Ubisoft title. Be careful with your words.
It's not like the game comes out next week.
Holiday 2013, they still have plenty of time.

Me and a good PC friend were dissecting it as we were watching and it was running on PC the whole time lol.
Criticizing that tearing. It will look fine when it ships for PS4 later this year, I'm sure.
Oh, tearing was from the screen.
I wonder if someone will ask what HW spec that demo was running on.

The framerate did look a bit patchy and there was plenty of tearing. I'm not sure I buy that it was solely down to the stream since nearly everything else shown looked smooth as butter. I've also played plenty of other Ubisoft open world games so a piss-poor framerate and tearing wouldn't be totally unexpected. In gameplay terms it looks really fucking interesting and I'm especially intrigued as to how the online side of things works.
Hmmm, I was especially underwhelmed by the lighting. Looked very current gen to me, all those blocky shadows.

So that explains the horrendous screen tearing(?)
Isn't this the sort of thing you're not supposed to do? I mean I agree with you, it looked better than something the PS3 can do but posting a Michael Jordan laughing gif is not the way to counter a point.
Neat conceptually, but it kind of seems like it basically just boils down to pressing the 'hack' button. The "press A for awesome" stuff you tend to dislike.
Oh man. Hall of fame career, and shaq just forgotten and pushed aside just like that.
Welcome to modern gaming.
No rational thought or skill needed, just press A. Awesome stuff happens...bro

Ya it looks very good for a game so far away.
LMAO poor poor junior, so misguided.

Hang on, is that a fractionally different playthrough of the same sequence? That doesn't help ease my major concern with this game of everything they've shown being smoke and mirrors, and it turning out to be yet another Ubisoft 'collect all the icons on the map' game.
Damn Heat, bringing a fat MJ from retirement to play with Lebron, those bastards.

The one last year looked better (most noticeable difference to me other than the tearing was the character model), but it was running on a PC with a GTX 680 so that's to be expected. This still looked good though.

They did say they ran it on PC with similar specs, that seems like it'll be good news to me.
Seems disingenuous.
...what?

I'm not surprised. Since the great architecture of the PS4 is essentially just a PC relabled as a console, the time to port to the PS4 from PC is going to be reduced. They can leave it all to the last minute and hope things work out =/

Did you just come out of the "how not to get banned" thread? That said, there's no way the PS3 has that kind of graphical output.
Goddammit, of all the comments, this is by far my favorite.

Not sure if sarcasm, but I'll bite: how else would those design decisions be mimicked? Last time I checked, most games usually had a centralized button for something or another, even back in the PS/N64 day (NES gen didn't have enough buttons to count). Sure, RPGs/MMOs on PC have hotkeys and there are binding options for that platform, but welcome to consoles.
There were also a variety of options to choose on what the action is to accomplish.

Probably because it's an actual game now and not a completely scripted vertical slice.

Just watched the non-streamed linked video. Yes, that's awesome. Tearing is gone, dithering appears to be gone as well. Framerate is fine. I saw GT when he openly admitted it was a PC built to PS4 specs and have no problem with that. I'm just happy knowing I'll have the option to play it on a next gen console and not a version downgraded terribly to run on PS3/360.
Yep, and they make a point of saying it's just a guy free roaming. No mission. Main character moves a lot like Wei Shen. I wonder what the driving is like.

Wait wait wait. Wait.
This game has an underscore in the name?

I'm guessing they had a newer build recorded back at the office and had to quickly push this one out. It looks on par with the E3 demo in the direct feed one.
I agree the E3 version looked better, probably because of what you pointed out.

Same difference really.
