Sounds great. Maybe Mr.60 guy should give this a go he'll have second thoughts and be okay with it lol
Sorry! Not trying to come across aggressive.

Most console owners buy them for games you can get on other platforms (including PC).
Clearly not small enough. Otherwise, why would developers come here?
Not sure I understand what's being said here.

If you just play multiplats only you are better of with a PC ofcourse.
But we all have to spend our money to where the games are we love. For me that's Nintendo games, PS4 exclusives and a lot of multiplats. But to buy a good pc just for those multiplats is too much for me personally. Have considered it a lot of times though.

Not necessarily.
Many console owners care more about where their friends are playing than specs and performance.
You mean speak with your dollars.
Yeah, I agree.

Doubt the cpu is powerful enough
Of course its has some cost, but its also smarter and more efficient than FXAA , which has been the default AA solution for years now. Times change and base standards get better.
MSAA used to be the only viable AA technique until different methods came along.

What assumptions?

Yep, that's a huge factor too.
Come on man. Not going to buy a pc to give devs a signal to make 60 fps games on consoles... unreasonable much?
Yoooooo that's amazing - glad to hear that.

The differences are most noticeable if you open up the the images in new tabs and switch back in forth.

^That one is a big difference.
Post Update (No comparisons)
Some of these comparisons may not show off the difference as much as you probably could. I found the jaggies in the pre-update version to be very noticeable in many areas. The pre-update photos I have here were taken by me when the game first came out, and I deliberately took pics where I thought the jaggies weren't as noticeable.
Anyway, just from playing through Veldin, the IQ is definitely cleaner than it was before. Very pleased with it.

Ah I see thanks for the info, do you know anything about the new improved motion blur technique also?
Damn that is REALLY noticeable with regards to aliasing, probably more so in motion due to the temporal AA. This is on regular PS4?

If you're not getting the game and are soooooooooo disappointed that you've done nothing but bitch and moan the past 3 days, why are you even still in this thread? It's pretty sad you apparently have nothing better to do, especially since you're basically a broken record at this point and have added absolutely nothing new since your first post.
On-topic: That's really impressive that they managed to add a new AA method on the OG PS4! Good job devs!
Edit: Also, why has this thread become the place to argue 30 vs 60 fps?
Looks really great, thanks for taking the time to do the shots.

...what?
Not even remotely what I said.
A signal for devs to make more 60fps console games would be to buy more of them.
And less 30fps ones.

Ah okay. I do!! i buy a lot of 60 fps games on consoles.
But a lot that i like are still in 30 fps.
I wasn't sure what you meant by that. Given your previous responses i went with the pc option.
I don't know anything about it. You'd have to ask Jstevenson about it, he's the one who helped create it after all

I thought the depth of field looked a bit different in Ratchet's ship boarding/exit scene but it's been months since I last played..
The container on the far right, in the foreground here seems to confirm it though.

No sadder than replying to someone's "bitching and moaning" with some of your own.
Especially someone you're apparently ignoring...?

The new patch removed boxes? Downgrade confirmed! What are you doing Insomniac!? Are boxes PS4 Pro Exclusive now?
I shouldn't have to say that that's a joke, but in this thread you never know...
Those images really do show how great the new anti-aliasing is, though.

Well your vaunted reading skill apparently isn't paying off since I never said I had ignored anyone, just that this was a great place to find candidates.
And I've made exactly zero posts that didn't at least contain something other complaining, and I'm interested in the game and will be purchasing it therefore this looks like the place for me to be, so looks like that's strike two for you.
Oh, and since you mentioned it... welcome to the list!
On-topic: Those screens look great, can definitely tell a difference between the old and new method!

Yay, the last few pages turned into a 60 vs 30 fps shit show. :-/
Well, the PS4 Pro news got me to finally get off my ass and pick up R&C. I've never played an R&C game before, so I am looking forward to it! I just don't know in which order of my backlog it's going to find itself. :-|

Whenever you get around to it, you'll see how worth it it was

What aa did the game use before? FXAA?

Sweet! I'm excited for this update! Can't wait for the Pro to hit now! I think it's time to buy this game. Never bought it back then due to budget and then eventually forgot about it.
I think it's time to stop now. You've been trying to downplay other's opinions while at the same time increasingly defending yourself towards every claim against you. I get that 60 FPS is nice. I don't really care for it myself but desiring more is never a bad thing. It's the way you've been presenting it that is sometimes kind of offensive. Especially with ypur words towards the developer in this thread. Basically, let people enjoy what they want and you can enjoy what you want. At the end of the day some will like 60 and some don't really care for either. Cause options are great right?

Some of my R&C HDR highlights so far!
The bright flash of Insomniac's animated logo at startup.
The rim light on planets, green shine of the Deplanetiser glass on the pause or planet select screen.
The Protoclast illuminating half of Ratchet's face, and glass rim if he's wearing a helmet (best when standing somewhere dark)
Firing most weapons, especially in the dark!
The colourful buttons on the computer terminals on the Deplanetiser
Clank's thrusters in the dark
RYNO EXTREME firework display
Teleporting
The lit Magneboots track hexagons

The brights are good impressions, but give us the details on those darks and killer shadow detail! I love my retinas being scorched by HDR as much as the next person, but it is only one part of what makes HDR so impressive.

That TAA looks really good aside from the foliage, which is way over smoothed.
Close to getting to UE4 TAA levels of smudge, and that's not good.
Some other elements, like Ratchet's wrench also get over smoothed.
PS4P with downsampling will solve all of that however. (Just don't make the resolve too sharp)

I'll have to pop it in for a few minutes when I get my pro. I platinumned it the first weekend so I'm not ready for a full playthrough ATM. I'm looking forward to the changes though as this game is pure eye candy.
Now I'm excited for the Going Commando reboot

I hope we do get more Ratchet! These games are consistently fun to play and gorgeous looking to boot!

That IQ improvement is crazy to me. Along with new motion blur to boot.
And it will look even better on 1080p screen using PS4 Pro.
