Uncharted 4: Demos vs Final Game Comparison (Digital Foundry)

youtube.com/watch?v=HCNyuomzVu8

Take the L Sup Forums. No one here knows more than DF.

>When it comes to real footage it's mostly an improvement

>Baked lighting
>Shitty Temporal AA operating dynamically instead of the FXAA used during the demos
>Dynamic resolution lighting maps and motion blur
>2xAF coverage compared to the 16xAF in the demo
>Massive foliage downgrade
>Frametiming is completely fucked and the game isn't running solid 30FPS compared to the demos
>Digital Foundry trying to avoid talking about any technical elements because they are afraid of Neogaf

Take the L OP

>Uncharted 4 sets a new standard for real time rendering in games

t. Team of graphics technology experts

>Uncharted 4 looks bad

t. Uneducated loser on Sup Forums with an anti-PS4 agenda

I know whose opinion I'm going with

>Uncharted 4 sets a new low standard for real time rendering in games

t. Fixed

>conveniently avoid saying "worse" but say stuff like "world geometry looks chunkier"
Good job DF, this, along with calling a 30fps-dips game a "technical masterpiece" are really making you look unbiased.

>posting bugs

Well I'm convinced

Just so we're clear here, you'd rather they just say something is worse instead of explaining it?

The generation raised by Sup Forums will truly be our worst.

I KNEW SOMEONE WAS GONNA POST THIS, HERE COMES THE SCREENSHOTS HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGHURRRRRDURRRR

>more diffused shadows rather than sharp
>which water do you prefer? :^)
>background geometry has been "reworked"
Wow

>mfw scotland
comfiest area, best area

Any time something from the final game is better, they say it's an improvement.

Whenever something is worse, it's "reworked".

Reworked so they hit the 30fps target

Not seeing the issue here?

What about gameplay?

Well yeah it was reworked. I dont think he wants to start flak by saying somethings bad. Makes you look unprofessional/taking sides.

93 on metacritic

So pretty stellar

>Guy talks about AI while he runs through a section where the PSX 2014 demo has better Global Illumination, texture filtering, better PBR on trees and no LOD pop in compared to the retail build
>Lighting changes are so bad that plants no longer cast shadows in the final version while the PSX version has them shadowed
>Retail build adds in more fog to try disguise pop in
>None of this is mentioned

That's some incredible spin to actually talk about how the game wasn't downgraded while footage of the downgraded version plays

Hadn't they already said it was going to be 30fps by then?

Are you trying to bait me or do you seriously believe metacritic is a good metric?

Why else would they rework it if not for hitting their 30 target?

just finished it. had a lot of fun playing, but now ima go replay on explorer and take pics and explore.

>gamespot review
>only negative is gameplay
>only gameplay positive is "it fits with the story"
>10/10
Okay

Name a better one

Same reason any company reworks a game's graphics

Rotten Tomatoes.

oh boy heres that one guy autistic about the specifics of the graphics

To hit their targets, yes.

>Image quality severely reduced between 2014 slice and final build
>Point out Technical analysis doesn't point out technical aspects which are incredibly poor
>"AUTISM"

OK user. Everyone will stop talking about how Uncharted 4 has exceptionally poor image quality and there's barely any ambient occlusion or real time lighting to be seen even in photo mode.

I'll acknowledge it when you acknowledge that it has its moments

What moments? There's nothing graphically impressive that hasn't been done already in videogaming and it manages to have some really fucking poor image quality to the point where it looks sub 900P in places.

>entire thread is about the specifics of the graphics
>as soon as something negative comes up
>'THAT'S AUTISTIC WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE GOD'

ok....

is that real life??

>This thread

I guess this is what the reviews were talking about when they said "emotional".

>that hasn't been done already in videogaming
its stays pretty consistent of any game on the ps4, especially for how long it is. Letting certain specific spots where it isnt extremely detailed ruin your experience of a game isnt very good as a gamer.

Battlefront is much more consistent, and also looks better despite running at 900p.

>its stays pretty consistent of any game on the ps4

It has all the 30FPS with dips, fucked frame pacing and lack of texture filtering like every other exclusive. So it's consistent with the rest of the PS4's line up which has the same.

>it's consistent with the rest of the PS4's line up which has the same.
yeah thats what I meant.

Digital Foundry aren't game developers.

Nice try.

Top kek i had no idea this game triggered buttmad faggots this hard.

>Those shadows
Kek

>Photo mode
>Baked lighting
>Baked shadows
>Low quality shadows
>No ambient occlusion
>DOF filter

This might have been impressive in 2007, but not today.

Uncharted 4 is literally the best looking game of all time desu. People pay thousands a year to keep their PCs up to snuff to play worse looking games than I can on my $250 console. People WILL defend this btw.
