That looks way worse than it should. Did you make any changes? Because saving changes recompresses them every time.

Black and red are something of a worse case scenario for compression as well. That said the screenshots on Vita have always been way too compressed and they've yet to address that. Not sure it would be a priority on PS4 just now.

 

[bombshell]

Digital Foundry will be looking into how the two new versions compare - and as you may have figured already, the results are sure to be interesting - and in the meantime Ian Higton's prepared a quick look at how the PlayStation 4 compares to the original on Xbox 360.

Digital Foundry's report will be going live this afternoon, and you can click the big black box below to see Ian's own take right now.

PS4 vs. Xbox 360 video (until PS4 vs. Xbox One comparison): How does the PS4 Tomb Raider compare to the Xbox 360 original?

I posted a screenshot from Trine 2 with lots of smooth orange/red/black gradients and the level of artifacting wasn't any worse than what I posted just now.

PS4 vs. Xbox 360 video (until PS4 vs. Xbox One comparison):

I said goddamn. The framerate alone justifies this purchase. I cant beleive how bad it is on the 360. It barely hits 30 and is more like in the mid and low 20s...

HAHAHA gravity has no effect on TressFx.

 

[Haunted]

This game is damned good.

Also beautiful.

That is the worst compression I've ever seen on a videogame screenshot.

 

[theytookourjobz]

They should patch that in, but it's not bad at all right now.
This is from my last post in the screenshot thread, from the Share button.

What game is this?

 

[stryke]

What game is this?

The latest Skylanders I presume.

 

[isb]

Minus.com versions.

HAHA that compression, sony really need to fix the share button.

 

[seventynine]

DF will have their face off ready this afternoon it seems.

Yeah, like a PS4 vs 360 comparison is what people want to see ;-)

It isn't up yet. That video is something else.

 

[Tunesmith]

I think they're the result of being dragged through Twitter and Imgur compression ontop of each other. Looks like a Bink FMV capture.

 

[Jack cw]

Did anyone shoot some photos of the limited artbook edition?

 

[EatChildren]

That compression makes it look like a still from a 1990's PC CD game using Bink.

 

[Izcarielo]

Is there any demo available on Ps4? I already beat this game on Pc but I just want to see the differences between both versions

Physics, how does it work.

 

[MilkBeard]

Physics, how does it work.

Weird, because I remember specifically that her hair does in fact fall down toward the ground in that scene on PS4. It has this weird look to it though, it's being pulled down but only at the end, but she has it tied. The hair clips with the bag though partially so it can look like it's not being affected by gravity which is what's happening here I think.

 

[Xion4360]

it is falling downwards, but through the bag so it looks distorted.. when you move her head you see her ponytail hanging down properly.

It does, but only at times. It's weird. The front and top of her stay put, her ponytail sometimes falls downward as she starts to swinging. My first impression when I played was "all of this fuss over the Tress-FX hair and physics and they missed something as obvious hair falling downward when hanging-upside down".

at the beginning of the video he apologises for not being able to compare the 360 with Xbox one, saying that the PS4 version is the only one available to him at the moment.

..so why not compare with PS3 then?

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

THIS is a much better comparison video..

(Couldn't find better pic of the climbing pick from the movie, but same one.)

One of the best horror movies ever. Cool to see TR pays so much homage to it.

Ok, I'm impressed.

Which in itself is an homage to this scene:

from Apocalypse Now.

 

[fernoca]

That compression, what happened? I know the PS4 compress..some, but even the picture I took when I started, posted it on Facebook and then uploaded to imgur.com; doesn't look as compressed.

And yeah, Skylanders Swap Force look amazing. And is a damn great game too; really good adventure/platformer.

Edit: Whoops, wrong thread. Kinda.

[Xcell Miguel]

We made some 1080p videos from PS4 and Xbox One versions : http://www.gamersyde.com/news_we_reviewed_tomb_raider_de-14983_en.html

 

[IconGrist]

Anybody tried playing Tomb Raider through Remote Play? Seriously, it's great. The button mapping is also very well done. Never makes you use the rear touchpad. Instead L2/R2/L3/R3 are mapped to the four corners of the front touch screen. Very easy to use.

Just put our review up. It truly is great on PS4.

 

[benzy]

 

[KaiPow]

100%'d the single player trophies (Wasn't too hard since I played it once before on PS3).

Now I'm trying to do multiplayer and it's taking up to 20 minutes to find a match on PS4.

 

[boredandlazy]

That does look impressive, if only they can iron out the inconsistencies with TressFX it'll be awesome.

 

[chalkitdown1]

They need to fix the shinyness too. It looks ridiculous there, like she's just shampooed it, while the rest of her is covered in blood 'n shit.

 

[Finaika]

Is it out on PSN yet?

 

[Ghazi]

This is the photo IGN chose to post on Facebook in advertising their comparison, lol. I can't imagine any worse screenshot selection. Like seriously, who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

 

[TyrantII]

The intern they don't pay?

Maybe the editor:

 

[LTWood12]

Best Buy is still insisting the game releases on 2/4. I would think Square wouldn't be too happy about one of the largest sellers of physical games failing to sell the game the month of its release.

Didn't they do the same shit with those Call of Duty pics. Really scummy.

 

[Wurdfurd]

Not that I can see. Waiting for psn to put it up.

(I'm in canada btw)

 

[Number45]

Way off topic, but it this the same as the Wii game? My wife picked up a Skylanders game for my daughters for Christmas and it looks horrific (both graphically, and gameplay).

No idea. But she also may have picked up the first or second game, which were by another developer and had no platforming. I've never played those.

Ah, could be that. It almost seemed like a multiplayer shooter.

I do keep telling her to leave that stuff to me!

 

[Conflict NZ]

So it's "Up" on Xbox One Game Store but the pricing says unavailable and won't let you buy it.

There's not even a mention of it on PSN.
And the game is impossible to buy around here. The last day and a half I stopped at every store I happened to pass that carries games and they all either didn't get it, refused to sell it, or were sold out.

 

[MilkBeard]

Wow, never saw that movie. Cool, though. I've even got Lara in the red archer outfit, so in my game it looks even more similar.
