I am guessing this means there will be seemless transitions between gameplay and cut scenes.

Can you explain why?
While we keep speculating I thought there were a few moments that showcased the new model pretty well during gameplay so I took screencaps. It's sort of shame that the camera is so far from Drake during most of it.
Soft shadows and veins. mmmmmm
Took some more pics for part 2 that illustrate nice lighting on the Drake model (Gamersyde's video is still really compressed :T):
There's also something I didn't appreciate until I started taking screencaps, which is that the bullets illuminate Drake's model and the environment as they pass through. Not sure if that's something we've seen in the last generation. Looks really nice though.

Yes, that's been there in other games too.
In fact, Alien went a step further and added volume lighting to fire FX (as well as bullet FX) which also casts indirect light to other objects.

Boy that sure is funny coming from you. Would you mind pointing out where PC gamers are persecuted?
They have a track record.
Game is still going to be super fun, just don't expect best graphics ever.

Yeah, there it is. Like clockwork. Once again some unfortunate clueless user posts that image.

Hey that's cool, now tell me why I should pick the game up after the shitshow that was UC3.

can you please for the love of almighty do some research of what you post.
there is a reason even mods said people better stop doing that shit. It's complete nonsense.
Because Uncharted 3 is one of the best games of the last generation.

BOTH of these are staged photographs with controlled lighting without a doubt. Not great examples at all.

Same model different LoDs I'd assume? The previous Uncharted games already scaled a lot so no surprise there.
And of course some idiot is going to post this. >_>

It's a prerendered cutscene. Why would Naughty Dog downgrade something prerendered?
It's simply a change of the lighting they applied to the scene. This same picture appears in basically EVERY thread regarding apparent downgrades on Sony first party games.
Anyone that expected the reveal level graphics, should really know better by now, lol. It's not just the lighting that's different. The reveal is an order of magnitude better on all fronts.

This is getting beyond a joke.
I want paper-mache hair Drake as a secret costume.
Yes, it is true. Some effects require you to drawn the scene more than once too.
Finally taking a close look at in the cutscene at the end of the demo.
If ND are using the same model in cutscene as in-game, this truly shows that carefully staged lighting does wonders.
Closer look at the materials, texture and shaders on Drake's tools (note tiny grains of sand/dirt on his pants):
The shadow casting and bounce light look crazy good here:

The one on the left is a pre rendered video. All that happened was they changed it to an in game cinematic for the final game.
Lol. Ok, that IS stupid.

Goddamn, why is this image not be deleted from the Internet? -_-They have a track record.

Not even that. They're both from the Same prerendered cutscene. Just that they changed the lighting in between e3 and the release.
Really?
I thought the e3 trailer just showed him on the beach and walking away after shaking the ocean water from his gun....
I don't remember that in the gamersyde video at all...was there another recently released? I assumed he got the grab from the gamersyde video.
He's talking about the dumb Uncharted 3 comparison picture.

Jesus Christ this shit again. Why isn't this image a bannable offense yet?
We were talking about The old Uncharted 3 comparison shot that had popped up in the thread.

Thats actually a good illustration of how even slight changes in lighting and mood can change the look of the game completely.
And this why they ND are so well respected. They truly are pioneers when it comes to details. I think they realize that given the architecture of the hardware, many more devs, third parties included will produce technically proficient visuals and so it's the finer details that will separate the best from the greats.
Also, I have a gut feeling that the final product (on the account of something I've noticed in TLoU) may well be 60fps.
Ah, this again.
Honestly, this should become ban worthy on the account of derailing thread.

Is this un-ironic or ironic?
The only big difference I can think of for the end user is that the pre-rendered cutscenes are often clearly of a different quality because pre-rendered cutscenes would show higher detailed models and lighting, and I guess that can be jarring to some. It can also make me wish the entire game looked like the cutscenes lol
There would also be hard cuts to black before the pre-rendered video would play which isn't a hinderance necessarily, but not having them would result in a more seamless transition.
From the developer's end I imagine it would save a lot of space on the disc, so they can fill it stuff to enhance things in the game. That and having cutscenes be in real-time would help it stay somewhat evergreen. I imagine UC 1-3 cutscenes were rendered in 720p 30 fps, and if a Uncharted PS4 collection releases sometime in the future and the gameplay is upgraded to 1080p 60 fps, they would need to re-render all the game's cutscenes to match which would be a pain. They did it with TLOU Remastered.
