Face-Off: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PS4

The size of the project is not remotely similar to Master Chief Collection.
Based on this criteria, the joke should never be made because of atrocities that happen everyday somewhere in the world. Not everyone is from the U.S. on this forum and therefore not everyone is going to feel compelled to censor jokes based on news coverage of an event they may or may not even know about.

Impressive work from Bluepoint. Glad to be living in the same city as them 
.
.Might not be the same size but their effort is enormous.

I should have said "it made me sad that Bluepoint wasn't one of several studios contracted to work on the Master Chief Collection."
Saber did a tremendous job on Halo 2 Anniversary, but I'd like to imagine how lovely a Bluepoint remaster of Halo 3 and 4 would have been, or what kinds of improvements they could have made to the already existing Halo CEA.

Couple of points Dark:
1. Water Splash has been greatly enhanced in the PS4 version, notice how better it is as Drake runs/wades through water in the remaster.
2. I think we need further info on the PPAA solution here, (perhaps contact BP) it's really good, something tells me it's what being used in UC4, it kills shader aliasing like a lion tamer. So I'm thinking that some TAA is in there as well.
3. You spoke of dips, but I only saw one dip to 59fps when it was loading (that famous shootbang level), where you have to get to the plane wreck in the background...(no one ever thought getting to a plane wreck would be so tough (on crushing of course)......it's been a while, but I think that's the level. In anycase, are there any other areas where these dips occur? Seemed like a level loading dip.....
I'm thinking also that the day one patch may improve certain performance anomalies, no matter how small or insignifcant or any bugs for that matter. However what I'm seeing here is pretty stellar work.
Anyhoo's, nice improvement on commentary and visual cues, it's about time....

1) Yeah, that's right. There's so many improvements that I actually ran out of time. It's an improvement in line with smoke and fire effects - they re-did all of them and it looks much better.
2) We're working on getting an interview with Bluepoint and I definitely want to ask about it. It's super impressive indeed.
3) The vid I did earlier in the week shows a few more dips (when you first stumble upon the ruins early in the game, for instance) but the game really is super consistent. Slowdown is mostly limited to a few early areas but, by and large, it's 99% locked at 60fps, I'd say. The majority of the experience is extremely smooth (and I've actually finished the game so can confirm it remains that way).
I had some constraints with the comparison this time as my PS3 is a "slim" model which presents problems for frame-rate analysis when lots of tearing is involved. So I had to have someone else capture footage and send me the files after which I made comparable PS4 footage. It's been so long since I've worked with PS3 video that I had forgotten about the "dithering" problem. It's not a problem visible to the naked eye, but it interferes with the analysis. The original "phat" models do not suffer from this at all (and my launch 60gb PS3 is dead now, unfortunately).
I'm also thinking that the day 1 patch might clean up those issues. I'm just happy that the experience straight off the disc is so good. Anything improved in the patch is just gravy at this point. I'll certainly put it to the test when it is released, though.
Sent you a PM J.

This is probably gonna be on my Christmas list. Between Metal Gear Solid 5, Fallout 4, GTA 5 on PC, and wanting to beat Golden Abyss, I've got plenty to keep me occupied until then. I've had such an interest in the series but I never beat UC1 because of performance. I just couldn't put myself through how poorly it ran.
After seeing the comparison vid DF made, I'm even more impressed by the improvements in DF. Still think this is a great looking game. Some of my caps
If I had the time, I'd spend hours in photo mode alone... It's just so great to have it in these games. Looking forward to the Collection photo thread.

At least you still have your slim, both my Phat and Slim are dead (in the water)........ This problem is really odd though, it's probably the cinavia (copyright, recording prevention) tech on the PS3. From my understanding, it's introduced in firmware on all PS3 systems, but the newer versions of the PS3(slim), also had some form of hardware implementation (a physical chip). So this might be your issue right there.
Yes, the improvements from the patch on release day should be interesting. You also noted that MB does not affect framerate in UC1 (that is camera and per object combined I'm thinking). This may mean that surplus frames over 60fps in UC1 is significant enough to not show the disparity as the target of 60fps is kept regardless.dark10x said:
I do agree that this is 16xAF, wasn't Tlou 16xAF as well...? Filtering is so much better in this remaster and the game benefits from that immensely with it's great art and textures.
As for video, (pre-rendered scenes) I do hope sony implements HEVC (H.265) on the PS4 soon, now, that is some great tech for video quality in games going forward.

Managed to get the UC collection early and am playing through UC1. It's obviously a PS3 era launch title, but they've made a lot of noticeable changes to the graphics. Gameplay is a lot smoother too.

The framerate difference is enormous. Amazing.

We need some more AF here, boys.
Least advanced, least refined, best explosions.

Locked 60 on consoles is an utter waste of horsepower. Some scenes will be more demanding than others, and to stay at locked 60, your game has to be running at around 80 FPS most of the time. This is why I really like the dynamic resolution solution developers are using this gen. Uncharted Collection doesn't really need it, but it's a great solution for when you want to squeeze out every ounce of power from the hardware while maintaining a locked 60FPS without any loss of horsepower. Every time something graphically intense happens that would drop the framerate below 60FPS, the resolution drops instead, providing a constantly smooth experience. The drop in resolution with a decent upscaler is hardly as jarring as sudden framerate drops.
I really hope more developers implement this solution for 60FPS console games this generation.

Actually, it is an incredible feat of utilization in complex scenarios.
Nope.

Good IQ > 60fps with muddy IQ

That's subjective, now isn't it? I'd vastly prefer locked 60FPS in shooters over clean IQ 100% of the time.

Well, it is not exactly very great levels of AF if you look at screens above. But yes, some games definitely have it.

Depends on the situation. SP? Sure, I could see that.
In a multiplayer environment? No way.
The good old days of screenshots for Uncharted. We're just missing the waterfall and the Rock pillars.
Classic shot.

I'd take 60fps every time given the choice.

Probably not. It is hard to see in a lot of the media posted IMO, but that looks kinda like 4x or so in the screen above.

Negative. Fps is the most important part of graphics imo.

Pretty sure DF stated 16x.

The surfaces and various textures of the submarine above show like ~4x. DF stated:
But definitely not 16x for those aforementioned textures.
That doesn't look anywhere close to 16x AF. But yeah, 4x is better than trilinear any time of the day
