No no I asked for specs for this version you showed example of

560 and a 2500k stock, unless I am forgetting KKRTs rig.

It looks very unnatural. On the other hand uc4 looks very natural and even has more variety.

Btw I played Crysis 3 on highest setting

The game has more vegetation variety than just that single grass type... sigh.

No no I asked for specs for this version you showed example of

i5 2500k and GTX 560

 

[GravityInsanity]

How did we get to the PC game comparison level of an ND thread?

Because ND is doing something right. Just wait until we see UC4 gameplay at night with Drake clothes all wet and moon shining down to put all this nonsense to rest.

 

[CyberPunked]

No, its not.

This was on PS3/360 too. As good as the "NaughtyGods" are, they pale in comparison to Crytek

 

[SniperHunter]

Uncharted also has a tall grass level like crisis 3. One guy saw it a while ago

 

[Game4life]

You know the thread has gone to shit when Crytek Evangelists start spamming those bald man with dead eyes pics in a thread. Only thing left for thread derail is the Order gifs if that has not happened yet.

 

[blastprocessor]

UC4 does look amazing. But when you consider Crysis 3 was released 2 years before on last-gen, it's not that impressive:

Sorry but l have this game and UC4 characters blow this away. Then let's talk about the animation, which is another league above this.

 

[SliChillax]

This is some real life level of shit.

I have played Unity on PC and never came close to such realistic looking facial expressions. Kevin Spacey in Advanced Warfare is extremely good but has dead eyes syndrome.[/QUOTE]

All the cutscenes were pre rendered CGI in Advanced Warfare.

 

[VFX_Veteran]

There is nothing in ACU that has never been done before but you going around saying it's best looking game ever so what is your point ?
If some people think UC4 is best looking console game so be it ( thought i think the order look better for now)

I have no bias towards Ubisoft. I don't portray their games to be instantly better looking than anything out there simply because they are Ubisoft. In fact, I hate Ubisoft in how they run their business.

ACU, IMO, has a leg up in graphics this gen because of the artistic direction in the game and the lighting. And that's all, so it's not a biased statement.

 

[Raven77]

I think the real problem here is that Naughty Dog is not using a brand new engine. They are just using an upgraded version of the same engine they made all their PS3 games on.

To expect a HUGE leap this early on in the console life cycle is unrealistic. As years go by and they get better with the hardware and keep upgrading their old engine, it will improve.

To ME personally, UC4 doesnt look much better than The Last of Us on PS3. It's better, but not by a gigantic margin. Yes, the below is from a in game cut scene, but so are the screens people are comparing from UC4:

 

[ItIsOkBro]

UC4 does look amazing. But when you consider Crysis 3 was released 2 years before on last-gen, it's not that impressive:

this thing looks like an alien.

 

[Dictator93]

Sorry but l have this game and UC4 characters blow this away. Then let's talk about the animation, which is another league above this.

I think it is rather similar:

I still enjoy uncharteds animation more though probably.

this thing looks like an alien.

in the story he is actually an alien. lol

 

[Crossing Eden]

Why does the game look like someone smeared vaseline over everything?

The actual game doesn't look anywhere near that blurry.

Finally a new face to distract you heathens from my poor Elise.

You sort of guessed correctly

I never said what i posted was better. But just that if you consider it was released 2 years before on last-gen.

 

[kinggroin]

No they most certainly were not. Some were, and those look like that almost-real-life uncanny valley level visuals.

 

[VFX_Veteran]

How did we get to the PC game comparison level of an ND thread?

Because that's the ultimate comparison.. a PS4 game outdoing a PC game. You know the drill!

 

[Game4life]

I never said what i posted was better. But just that if you consider it was released 2 years before on last-gen.

So what are we supposed to do? Ok we considered it. Now what?

 

[Gbraga]

The IQ for I:SS is pretty insane given it's open world. First Light should be the same if not better. If you can find that thread of user screenshots, that's probably the best place for examples. First Light is free next month so you'll get to see it first hand.

I did play First Light, I love the arena mode, that's why I was asking

 

[Jawbreaker]

Who put out the KKRT00 bat signal with a mention of Crysis or images of Crysis? That's always a bad idea.

 

[CyberPunked]

So what are we supposed to do? Ok we considered it. Now what?

If people considered that, then they should stop seeing ND as some kind of gods. UC looks okay for a game released in 2015, nothing more...

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Seems silly to worry about graphics now, the game is still far out. I have no doubt it will look closer to the teaser trailer at release. We should be talking about the gameplay

 

[perineumlick]

That's such a polarized statement. That screen of MGS5 looks way better than the UC4 jungle presentation. Light propagation is evident in the leaves (there is none in UC4). Are you guys so drunk on seeing the first gameplay demo of UC4 that it just HAS to be better-looking than everything out there?

There was NOTHING astounding in that demo that hasn't been done before. The foliage is the best looking part of the gameplay. All the little subtleties are really nice touches but nothing that would scream "better looking". There are simply too many ND zealots defending their game even if it looks average for this generation. I've seen comments that it beats out AC:U, Order, Ryse, even have it compared to Pixar films.. the level of hype here is ridiculously biased.

I'm guessing you decided to edit this post after realizing your own biased opinions, especially in light of that AC:U hard on thread you made.

 

[i-Lo]

This was on PS3/360 too. As good as the "NaughtyGods" are, they pale in comparison to Crytek

... and this thread has gone bat shit insane.

A team comprising of ICE team pales in comparison to Crytek (not going to take anything away from those awesome people)....?

Anyway, I'm done now that both KKRT and Cyberpunked have entered in full force (and some of the retorts to them are equally absurd). Time to add to Cyberpunked to my IL.

 

[reKon]

Lol

Like I said I recently played Crysis 3 on max setting. Crysis 3 has very unnatural looking vegetation specially grass. Character interaction with grass is better in uc4 also. On the other hand Crysis 3 has better interaction as far as environmental effects go like wind and explosions. There appear to be no such thung in uc4 demo

 

[Crossing Eden]

I think it is rather similar:
I still enjoy uncharteds animation more though probably.

Uncharted 4 probably has a much better facial rigs than the ones in Crysis 3 but their animation is key framed. In a lot of cases key framed can't touch motion capture when it comes to video games. ND being one of the few exceptions. And that scene probably will be slightly altered in the final version to look better. ND's animators are quite meticulous.

 

[Cave Johnson]

U4 looks so lively in comparison.

 

[Bold One]

$399.

this makes some people upset

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I booted up UC3 multiplayer in anticipation for UC4 but then I realized what I'm to expect from the MP: microtransactions, tournies, and an update that'll bork the game for the remainder of it's lifetime. =/ And who knows what kind of current gen, Ubi-like practice they'll think up (companion apps and such).

 

[Maninthemirror]

The game already looks better than any console game on any console which includes the Order.

 

[Jawbreaker]

U4 looks so lively in comparison.

The eyes in Crysis look dead and the facial animations are stiff. I think that's what makes it look much more lively in Uncharted.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Game looks amazing. We'll definitely pick up a PS4 this spring for it and the fall/winter 2015 rush.

 

[Pranay]

 

[Dictator93]

U4 looks so lively in comparison.

You mean because his eye brows unfurrow?

There are two different emotions being shown...

I get the impression that UC4s looks better than C3s, you hope it would being 2 years later, but it does not look generationally different at all.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

I think it is rather similar:

in the story he is actually an alien. lol

Not if you notice that Psycho's face barely moves other than his mouth. With Draks Brother you get a lot more animation in the entire face that looks more natural and less stiff.

 

[VFX_Veteran]

Light propagation or not, the Uncharted 4 footage simply looks better than the footage we've seen of MGSV, for the reasons I plainly pointed out in my post. It's not about one singular effect. UC4 demo pretty clearly has stuff that the Fox Engine games just don't have. It has a better form of the soft ambient character shadows they created for The Last of Us (an effect I've never seen in another game).

That is a great effect. Simply the best effect for ambient shadows to date. But TLOU had it last gen. And only now are we seeing it in other games like COD:AW. So while it was a cool invention, it's not exclusive to the PS4 or ND. It will be used by other studios.

It has more advanced foliage interaction.

Advanced foliage interaction doesn't make it "look" better. It only gives the player an impression that their character can affect things.

It has a more intelligent animation system, something that carries through and improves with every one of their games going back to Jak and Daxter.

You don't know how "intelligent" the animation system is in MGSV yet. It's not out.

The base assets are obviously higher fidelity (higher resolution textures, higher poly models, etc).

I can't tell that in screenshots. MGSV looks great to me! Especially that screenshot.

I mean, this is obvious stuff. MGSV is a cross gen,

Let's nip this myth in the bud right here.. Just because a game is cross gen doesn't make it destined to be inferior to an exclusive. We aren't dealing with cryptic hardware here. PS4 is the basic low-mid PC hardware we are dealing with now.

I've never said UC4 is better than everything out there. Weird to point at my post to bring that up.

I never said you did. But obviously if you read all the posts, the general consensus is that it is...

 

[gundamkyoukai]

This thread has gone insane , UC4 is more than 10 months away and pre alpha .
People are talking like the game is already out for sale lol.

 

[CyberPunked]

Anyway there's one thing that UC4 doesn't have

Take that, random people on the internet!

Spoiler

This thread is hilariously off the rails

 

[Dictator93]

He has an angry face going, because of acting you know. When you are really pissed off you tend to not unfurrow your eyebrows.
The eyebrows move when he is acting lively and happy in other scenes...

 

[Game4life]

If people considered that, then they should stop seeing ND as some kind of gods. UC looks okay for a game released in 2015, nothing more...

So basically you are saying you will stop posting irrelevant pics and bald guy dead eyes pics of horrible games made by Crytek if the whole forum accepts that UC looks average for a game released in 2015. Alright folks if that stops the derailing and we can talk about the demo , is everyone in agreement? Lol

 

[Ishan]

can somoene link me the colour corrected high res video??

 

[Reg]

Watched the trailer again today and wow this game seems like so much fun to play. I love the fact that the enemies jump after you.

 

[Maninthemirror]

its a stiff face which is really good animation but looks like game. this is like a pixelated version of avatar level animation

 

[Loofy]

I dunno, man

This along with the MGS comparisons arent really the same though. UC4 stages arent flat.

 

[Pranay]

hahah yeah

The rig to max out C3 should exceed the hardware powering the PS4. It would take a monumental undertaking to make C3 at max-settings to look "last-gen".

 

[Game4life]

Yeah. I actually dont remember properly if they did that in the previous uncharted games. I think they did it very rarely and it was usually scripted. I am really loving the enemy AI here. Looks so much fun to take them out.

In one screenshotm, where he is staring directly into the camera his eyes look dead apparently. Have you at all watched andplayed the game with the characters looking around etc? They eyes dont look dead...

His point I guess is that it does not look generationally better than stuff before it. Especially if you compare it to Ryse, Crysis 3, or Infamous.

its a stiff face which is really good animation but looks like game. this is like a pixelated version of avatar level animation

See postings like this get me all riled up. Stop with the massive levels of overexaggeration. Seriously. That sounds ridiculous when you throw the two gifs right next to eachother.

The rig to max out C3 should exceed the hardware powering the PS4. It would take a monumental undertaking to make C3 at max-settings to look "last-gen".

Exactly. People posting that this looks xxxx times better than anything before are just exagerating. Especially when games made two years ago have similar level of detail and animation. To reiterate though, I do think it looks better than Crysis 3... especially since I know it is hand animated apparently. But does it look better than the animation in Ryse or I: SS? meh, not really.
