Horizon Zero Dawn E3 2016 vs 2017 Taipei Game Show Gameplay Early Graphics Comparison

Has this been posted yet? Looks like the texture got a pretty noticeable downgrade.
There may or may not be differences between the E3 gameplay and the game when it launches but that video is of no value at all.

I can't even see any textures in the newer video so that is certainly a downgrade from the earlier video but if there wasn't a clear difference between a 1080p direct capture video and an off screen video which looks closer to 144p/240p, then there would be something very wrong with the 1080p encode.

Even the 1080p video looks to be a third or fourth generation upload going by the quality of it.

What does this have to do with what I said? I'm not contesting "the downgrade". Something is clearly different. But we might be seeing the game running on standard PS4 for the first time, that's why we are seeing LOD differences.

What??

Both the two reveal at E3 was running on standard PS4 , where do you get the idea that it is the first time you are seeing the Ps4 version, Also for clarity, the Base ps4 is the Targeted platform not the Pro , so there will only be some sort of upgrade rather than downgrade, now by how much, that will be revealed later after launch ,
 
The US press will be playing it tomorrow in LA

A clearer image of the map: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/611/31673958154_c58d81f56a_o.jpg

Notice that you can read some names on it. You can see Mother's Crown (which is the small settlement from EGX demo) and Mother's Rise which is the place we're Aloy finds the corruptor! Seems to me the map of the game is going to be huge, might be wrong though.

Mother's Cradle is on the bottom.

The map cloth is heavily rolled, so the entire map could be very large when unrolled fully!

This is insulting. Mostly towards yourself but also to us. It's is SUPER clear that the video on the right is soo much more compressed to hell and back that i seriously have to question either your integrity or your eyesight. Since you noticed a difference, i assume it's the former, for now.
 
Looks absolutly stunning. Even with a lil downgrade (if there is any) it is still amazing (in terms of Visuals)

My concern is more about the story/rpg elements. GG was never good at that (KZ2 is an exception to that)

I don't think Aloy goes to Mother's Rise in the demo. On the map, Mother's Rise is south of Crown, in the demo she goes west.

That guy you talk to after killing the watcher, says: "I came from Mother's Rise, there's a demon there". Basically the corruptor she finds in the village.

Maybe they changed the map after that, or maybe the map that comes with the Thunderjaw isn't exactly precise. I have no idea.

Most open world rpgs have bad stories by nature.

As long as it isnt terrible, I wont mind

She did go to Mother Rise you are right.
 
Watched the trailer for the first time.

A lot more humans than I expected. Really hope it plays well because it looks incredible.
 
I thought it must be the same build, because it sure didn't look any different from what we got to see from the E3 playable version. Why would they make the effort to apply the same vertical slice with more recent code or artwork? The demo was small but quite well done according to many reports. It does the job of providing hands-on experience until the actual game releases quite perfectly.

So this is even more laughable than it already was. People are seeing downgrades on the very same demo over time. The desperate need (and subsequent failing) of some people to find something to hate about this game pushes me towards a pre-order. ;)
