Support NeoGAF

[-griffy-]

Seems much more lighting in the PC version as well.

I think all the lighting is present in the PS4/console version, it's just rendering at a much farther distance in the PC version. Once you get closer to those light sources you'd see them on PS4. The LOD is much higher for those effects on PC.

 

[Newboi]

PC version appears to have more cacti and foliage.

I don't necessarily think it's more, rather the better LoD accounts for seeing more foliage in your view.

 

[Windom Earle]

I don't like MGS much, but I think I won't be able to resist.

 

[Pooya]

You can't even see the barbed wires in PS4 shot, that's not even that far. The farther you look the more missing details show up.

 

[XGoldenboyX]

Only visible diference is the Screen Space Reflections... and even that is possible to implement on a PS4

 

[pixlexic]

People actually noticing lod now!? Am I still at neogaf? Lol

 

[Dead_Pixel]

Here ya go! http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=16518

Thanks! Sounds great.

On topic: the increase in LOD distance makes me glad I waited for the PC port of GZ.

 

[GhostTrick]

Honestly, if a difference remotely this huge in geometry and foliage LOD distance would occur between the PS4 and XB1 version of any game, people would call it "LODgate" and the thread would reach 200 pages in an hour.

This. But I think it'll be much more noticeable in motion.
GZ had a lot of pop-in...
Also dithering hasnt been eliminated... except on rocks.

 

[Seanspeed]

I *highly* recommend clicking on the 'slider comparison' links to really get a feel for the differences.

 

[Love Deterrence]

To everyone who did their part.

 

[chronomac]

If you look at this, don't you see that some geometry, foliage and lights are completely missing on PS4 at medium to long distances?

Exactly. On the far left side, there's a whole new fence and cable. If you look to the left of the American flag there's a new stand or building of some sort back there. There's new lighting everywhere. On the far right side, you can see more vegetation.

And this is all from one screenshot. It's a fairly big difference.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The slider has some really big differences, man. The LOD, the water puddles, the light sources, vegetation, the fence/cable...its pretty noticeable >_>

Yeah you have to be in some serious denial to see past this.

 

[cheezcake]

Damn, shaping up to be a good port!

Depressing, yet true

 

[-SD-]

I wonder if Anisotropic Texture Filtering comes with the PS4 version... probably not, since it seems to be the norm even for this PS4/XBO generation.

 

[Kezen]

So definitive version is the PC one, huh?

Shocking news.

 

[Tecl0n]

reflections are looking good

 

[orava]

Looks exactly the same to me...

Play around with this

 

[Dictator93]

I prefer PS4 version for controller specific features but this is nice.

"I'll pick the better controller over some fucking grass."

Lol, that is so true.

Is such a thing even possible?

 

[Thorgal]

Kojima , I rike it !

 

[Seanspeed]

Also, since this is running at 60fps on the PS4, I imagine it should mean some easy downsampling for those of us with decent GPU's.

*instantly reminded of GTA grassgate thread*

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

PC owners will be in for quite a treat if that version eliminates the terrible pop-in of Ground Zeroes.

Well we already know that since the PS4 version is already released, and it features a very low or non-existent level of AF. One of the main faults in the IQ of the game.

 

[Love Deterrence]

[GhostTrick]

Yet dithering is still here... why Kojima ? :'(

 

[Nzyme32]

For those that for what ever reason find it hard to compare the two, use these and simply mouse over to see the difference

Not sure if trolling or just blind.

I laughed. In sadness.

 

[arit]

But can you see and mark enemies through the reflections?

EDIT: I suppose better LOD would make the game harder since enemies might be harder to see in the distance...

 

[Krejlooc]

This looks great! Time to triple-dip.

 

[Dick Justice]

Now make it moddable so someone can make BB actually hold his gun in alert mode.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, it's definitely a big flaw, IQ-wise.

 

[EternalTruth]

• 60 FPS frame rate
• Additional deferred lights per scene
• Additional shadows per scene
• Higher-resolution render targets
• Higher-resolution shadows
• Increased detail over distances
• NVIDIA SLI Multi-GPU support
• Options to adjust seven graphics features (Effects, Lighting, Screen Filtering, Shadows, Texture Filtering, Textures)
• Resolution support up to and including 3840x2160 (4K)
• Screen Space Reflections

Didn't somebody say the engine was limited to 1080p resolution?

PC Dominance! =)

I feel that comparing the PC versions of games with their PS4/Xbox One counterparts is about as fruitful as comparing the graphics of PS4/Xbox One games with their Wii U counterparts. I suppose others are working under the same assumption.

 

[Dictator93]

Since they are screenspace, they only show what is already on your screen. So that would b very redundant.

 

[Kezen]

Some people just want to appreciate the tech gap between PC and console multiplats and couldn't care less if this is considered "fair".

I suppose others are working under the same assumption.

 

[derExperte]

Well he isn't blind when it comes to Xbox vs PS4 comparisons and likes to complain about DF Minimizing differences. But you decide.

 

[Seanspeed]

If Wii U games were actually getting releases of these same games, there's no reason not to include them in any comparisons.

Otherwise, I see no reason that the only comparisons worth talking about are the PS4 and XB1 versions. Seems like convenience more than anything to me. Laughably see-through convenience.

 

[Krisprolls]

I did. Unless you're a complete pixel nerd (I know, I know, we're on GAF), you can hardly see any meaningful difference.

Comparison isn't well made anyway, there's slightly more contrast on the PC pic to make it look better (PS4 pic look a bit washed out, like if they chose "limited" color range instead of "full", it doesn't look washed out when correctly calibrated).

For 99.9 % of people (including me), those pics look nearly identical. That's the magic of diminishing returns and it will only get worse.

If you want a fair comparison, you certainly won't find it on Nvidia website anyway...

That's actually a really cool idea for a game.

People actually noticing lod now!? Am I still at neogaf? Lol

Kinda hard to not notice, especially in GZ.

 

[wanders]

Here ya go!

Your words come accross as hollow IMO given your post history.

Yeah, the day when that happens will be awesome. But for now you can "techncially" do this with non-screen based stuff. Like shadows.

 

[DryvBy]

There's not really a major different aside from the reflections in these images.

 

[Anteater]

You could've just circled the entire picture

You're right.

I think even somebody with a severe astigmatism could at least notice the lighting changes.

 

[RK9039]

I don't see any difference, at all. No difference at all. Nope.
