That second shot is seriously fucking incredible. Looks pre-rendered. I've never seen such impressive graphics in a game.

It's so pretty
bloom is too strong in some areas. Game sometimes looks better without bloom sometimes with bloom... hm

Yikes. These look rough! Is this maxed out?!
EDIT: Oh it's just a beta. Stopped following this game.

Curious, what do you think looks rough about 'em?`I am seeing some pretty nice rendering in these images (asset quality, volumetric lighting, particle shading and such).

Maybe the building textures in the 2nd shot. They look kinda low-res\blurry.
That's perfectly executed.
Game looks great, and runs great too (my 780 can hold a steady 30+fps with everything maxed out on 1080p). The game itself is a bit too ubisoft for my tastes. But perhaps I haven't seen the real game yet, dunno (have been wandering alone through the streets). There are a ton of ini (.cfg files) tweaks too to mess with, not sure if these exceed the menu options though.

The building textures are from the 360 era. The lighting (even though volumetric) looks severely pared back. The AO is either inaccurate or non existent on most objects. The cars seem to have the same poly count, but they all look plastic now (like GTA IV without ENB). Not a 1:1, but this is what the reveal looked like:

So pretty. Too bad.
I was thinking that at first glance and comparing the shots that a well-implemented DOF solution could help out a lot, but the game needs a lighting overhaul to reach the E3 reveal kind of graphics.
It's a pity too, it would have been the best looking game this gen bar none. As it stands...it's still competent. Maybe there'll be a mod like for Watch_Dogs to get the "E3" graphics working.

Yes, game has a clean IQ, but is bland as fuck. Like nothing in the environment moves. Everything so static and bland.The building textures are from the 360 era.

The picture you quote has filmgrain and DoF, both not in the game (the DoF doesn't make sense in this situation, unless you want to focus on the player character). Haven't tested if you can add it with reshade yet. I havent' spotted bad AO though, things look great overall. Indoors things are a bit simplistic at times, but outdoors there are certainly sections where it looks like this picture. You also have to catch the same light/ToD, as sometimes the light is very colored and thus colors the environment as well and it looks less realistic. Building textures are definitely not from the 360 era, they're detailed and have parallax mapping. Perhaps it could have been a tad better across the board, but as with all games there are compromises.The building textures are from the 360 era.

I agree with the blandness of the game though... At first the gameplay felt like Infamous, but not as good.

I think what's happening is an issue with texture LoD and not the texture itself or parallax mapping. See the previous shots that I was commenting on. Those walls look like the textures aren't even loaded. Kind of like what happens with buildings in The Witcher 3, unless you are really close, it just looks like a colored sheet of translucent plastic
And with regard to AO, I don't think there is any AO at all in the shot below. Everything seems afloat
Yeah I think you're right. Up close things look great, from further away it's indeed pretty quickly flat.
. Hmm... Will test with AO off.
The depth buffer is not available btw in reshade in this game. Reshade works, depth buffer is empty (edit: which is to be expected, it's an online game and reshade checks network being active it seems. Bummer!)

Welcome to real time rendering. Almost impossible to get rid of unless you raytrace in world space or something.

IMO, this picture is only a good comparison picture for third person character detail because everything else is too post-processed to see and judge its quality. The asset quality could be the same ad you would never know!
This is a better comparison shot:
Understand that. My issue is that maps that they do use are blown up, and look very low res.

You guys that make your images links.... grrrrrr. I keep clicking to get the bigger size and I'm greeted with a new tab in my browser. Stahp.
And now to rewind to The Witcher 3. We've all seen this tree a million times, but I wanted a pretty minimalist version to use as a desktop wallpaper on my 3440x1440. So here's that:
Hell of a shot. Good job.
the vanilla one, pretty much- i think the only number i really tweaked was some lowering of the AO intensity and range
combined w/ sweetfx from reshade for some color correction
it's a bit annoying- it looks fine indoors and at night but during the day it's way too faded/bright. i really wish there was a way to keep the color palette of the vanilla game during the daytime without using the original postprocessing
These are the best shots of The Division I've seen so far.

May be it's just broken in the beta...

Yeah we can certainly agree that yours is a better comparison shot

These may be the best branches I've seen. Or is it the dof playing tricks one me? How much geometry are they until the small ends?

I agree that that AO is very lacking in the beta, but overall it's still a great looking game. Runs pretty good as well. Everything maxed out at 4K and I was still getting 15-20fps with my 970, won't take all that much more to get it to run at console framerates.
You're getting 20fps maxed out 4K with a single 970?
I have to do some more tooling around. I was having some issues with the graphical settings not working properly earlier, but in SLI I get like 25-29 FPS in 4K. When it's not glitching out and giving me 1-3fps.
Or maybe the SLI implementation just is not there yet in full force?
