Uhm, that's kind of a slanderous thing to say. Will Barcelona demand an apology for comparing their player with a little monster? Granted, they did look a like.

Seems like its early in the game, but theres a mix of old and new footage. We saw screenshots of the church but not video

No audio design? Guns and explosions in a stone church and no echo, reverberations, anything? I guess it's not finished. It must be there in the final game.
Oh and awful, awful dialogue (though this is a given in most video games). Pin sharp IQ though.

This game must be pretty lengthy because we've have like 4 demos just this year and it all seems to be from pretty early on.

Well, it's the same game it's always been just running in 4K...

What do you expect from a Xbox one game scale to 4K? Not the first time console holding back high end PC.

I thought so, too.
Holding PC back? An entire franchise designed for Xbox is holding the PC back? What a weird thing to say.

And it wants to eat 80 gb off ur hdd
I expect an xbox one game released on 2016 to take full advantage of the hardware, there are better looking games on the console, forza horizon 3 being one that comes out at the same time.
Honestly this doesnt look ok even for a game that targets One. Looks like a cross-gen game.
No, really, I didnt expect uncharted 4 but GeoW games were top notch in terms of IQ last gen. This is not even top of the line for One.
A very weird thing to say considering that it probably wouldn't run at 4K if it was more sophisticated...
Still was very good at the time. Jaggies everywhere but the stuff that put on-screen running on a 360 was impressive. This is not, imo.
Yeah for me it looks like that, a game from early days of the console.
I had the same impression with the e3 footage but I told myself it was probably the birate being totally shit. Now that I've watched this for me it's very lackluster.
I think it looks good overall but there's a strange thing going on with the graphics, with the characters in particular. Remember how in early-ish iOS days the protagonists would look way more detailed than the surroundings and there was this weird disconnect between them? That's the feeling I'm getting here. Like Dead Space on iOS for instance. Could be totally wrong though.
Normally when people talk about image quality they are talking about resolution, aliasing, anisotropic filtering, etc. Stuff that reduces artifacts. So what you are talking about is not IQ, but rather general effects, geometry, textures, and what not.

It looks dull, there's something wrong with lighting.
Thank you for this, I didnt know IQ was referring only to image "clarity". Noted.
Indeed I talk about geometry, textures (sigh) and so on. Also the previous videos were kind of "saved" by the fact that "weather" effects were very good, this one just looks very very dull.
I'm still not sold on the game. The first trilogy on X360 was amazing (well, at least the first two games which I played myself). Especially the first game, which was really something special when it was released.
I believe I've seen most of the footage for Gears 4 now, but it does nothing for me. It's hard to put a finger on it, but overall the combat (which always was the strongest part of the franchise), just looks dull and same-y. Graphics look decent, but nothing special (except the storms, those look nice). The banter is just cringeworthy, though that was never Gears' strong suit of course. Still, it bothers me here much more for some reason.

4K doesnt help if the game itself has underwhelming graphics.
Could look much better.

That doesn't look as good as it should for such a flagship title imo.
Same here. It's like the series hasn't moved at all. Uncharted ended on a high note, but this seems to be well past its peak.
