Heavily modified UE3 was the terminology they used I believe. UE4 probably wasn't ready when they started work and all the other games were done with UE3 so, stick with what you know I guess. It's definitely working, whatever they are using.
No, I mean the game looks so good that it's hard to believe the PS4 is actually push these visuals. My bad for the confusion.

Very impressed with the lack of stutter, the camera pans very smoothly when it sweeps through the city.
Cannot wait.

Source?
And there's no loading screens between open world and entering buildings, don't forget that.
Yep, pretty damn impressive and we're not even in the middle stage of the generation yet.

Thank you for your valuable input on the performance of the PS4 version (which everyone already knew would be 30)!
Why did everyone think that? It has been looking very smooth in PS4 gameplay videos (or did people not believe that was actually PS4 footage?). Is it some ridiculous thing where people believe the PS4 is incapable of running good-looking games smoothly? Just because CDPR failed doesn't mean others have to.
The real time cutscenes are excellent. Examples like this get me psyched for Quantic Dream's game.
One of the earliest gameplay trailers:

It includes bits from the final game video.
I noticed some slight differences in reflection quality, perhaps, but it actually looks very very close.

You're not being weak. You're being smart by enjoying a potentially excellent game whenever you want, instead of waiting for god knows how long for a GotY edition.
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are still two of my favorite games of all time. Same developer? Rock solid framerate? Great gameplay? Day One.
Yep, I also love how more devs are switching to real time cutscenes this gen.The real time cutscenes are excellent. Examples like this get me psyched for Quantic Dream's game.

Including all the PhysX stuff, I really doubt it.

I applaud them for giving a smooth framerate with no stuttering. Bravo!!
I definitely saw it throughout their framerate video.

I keep saying that this game *almost* looks like the UE3.5 demo of Samaritan back in the day!

It's first preview on the Sony stage was PC footage that looks a smidge better than what there is now. It still looks great! But rain has definitely taken a hit in graphics. There was a lot of talk at the time on how the PS4 version was running with a very low framerate and this is before the release date got pushed so people were starting to worry. It has nothing to do with people's perception of the console. Why so serious?

Very good for folks getting the PS4 version. Finally a great-looking open-world game that actually runs well on console and likely has very few glitches and crashes...it runs much better than Assassin's Creed: Unity, The Witcher 3 and other high-profile multiplatform games...and also better than some PS4 exclusives. An outstanding-looking (easily better looking than TW3), highly-polished huge open world with good controls, animations and gameplay (Batmobile aside, judging from reviews) is indeed possible. Good work, Rocksteady. Especially if they pulled all this off at 1080p.
Hopefully the PC version is also well-optimized, as that's the version I'm getting.

Iam guessing 900p with the same framerate quality of PS4

Isnt that section playable?

Don't think anyone gives a shit in a DF thread about PS4 performance, but thanks for your input.

Very impressive. The game performance is very solid even when a lot of shit is going on screen. If this is really running at 1080p, then they really put many developers to shame.

the PhysX stuff is especially crippling on non-SLI systems. I just set it to the setting before max and live knowing that I just wont kick up as many random newspapers and walk through as much weird looking fog as I would like.
Pretty sure it's 1080p. High contrast specular edges and shader work are a torture test for most AA solutions.

WHAT IF the devs payd Digital Foundry to NOT say the resolution right now, so our reactions could be the best possible?!
HAHA!
They provided footage and screens. People can just pixel count it. The gameplay videos released a few weeks ago that specified PS4 footage were 1080p so I doubt it's gone down since then.

Oh ok.
Yes, but you are inside when you take control. And I have no idea what the outside looks like from the inside.
Also seems to have a few 'cinematic filters', The Order style, no?

Nice to hear. Hopefully the PC port is good.

Another 1080p rock solid 30fps open world game on the PS4. Take this as a lesson Ubisoft, this is how you do it.
Very impressed here, minus the aliasing issues that is clearly present. I'm thinking the day one patch will provide some further performance enhancements and maybe some AA, but this early footage is a very good indicator as to good work done.

The officer down footage which was claimed to be on PS4 was pixel counted out to 1080p. Unless they downgraded in the interim which i doubt, its still 1080p at solid 30fps.
Good job rocksteady. Now all i care about is whether or not there are any glitches or what not.
