I have a 46 inch TV and you all are crazy. Below par, now I have heard it all. Most games have nowhere near the geometrical and texture density that TLOU has and even then it has average IQ for games on that generation.

They dropped 2xMSAA with U3 & TLoU and went with post-AA.

Yes they did, thank god it was refined for TLOU because in Uncharted 3 it was terrible.

What I don't understand is that it's taking them so long to port a game.

What happened to 'time to triangle'?

Also, we are yet to any footage of this game running in '1080p60'.
Games consoles’ awkward symbiosis with actual games development was causing a further spiral as the machines got more and more complicated. Cerny says the ‘time to triangle’ – the length of time it takes to to create an engine that can render what the console is close to capable of in terms of triangle count – had increased by a factor of 12 between PSone and PS3.

It was a month on the first PlayStation, and could take a year by its third generation of hardware. The PS3 platform’s many innovations, such as the SPU memory structure, were turning into quirks that developers just didn’t want the hassle of.

Naughty Dog just released a 1080p60 E3 trailer with pre and realtime rendered footage.
 
That might get me to pick it up instead of the Destiny bundle, no matter how much I want that white console ;_;
How about if they gave you this?

they're not giving you this
 
Still my most anticipated game of the year even though I've bought the PS3 version twice already. After seeing how much better Tomb Raider looked and played on PS4 I can't wait to see how this ends up. I seriously think it'll end up being the best looking PS4 game for quite some time.
 
After hearing that Uncharted 4 is targeting 60fps I'm fairly confident TLOU Remastered is gonna be a pretty solid 60fps. Can't wait to see it in motion on my TV.
Is it the 30th of July yet?

Remember when that jr said Corrine Yu was going to be fired within weeks like two months ago?



Yes, and for a completely bizarre reason I somehow have kept that in the back of my mind as if it was possible, even though there was no indication that he was legit :p

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they're really adding much in the way of effects here like TR did, just bumping the resolution and frame rate. I could very well be wrong but I'm not expecting something as dramatic as TRDE.

That being said, TLOU was already a much better looking game so it'll still be phenomenal.

LOL yep

Didn't he say it was for incompetence too?

I wonder why it's actualy THAT hard to get the game to 60. The PS4 isn't a powerhouse but still way more powerful than the PS3.
They improved lighting, foliage, and swapped out the character models with the cutscene models so it's not just a quick upres to 1080/60. It's probably also a pain to port stuff over from PS3.

Because TLOU was game that was extremely optimized for weird PS3 architecture. Without "easy PC port" they had to port very low-level code carefully back to high-level PC-friendly code, optimize it back to PS4, and make sure that they preserve absolutely everything [animation, AI, scripting, gameplay, lightning, etc].

On the last day of Giantbomb E3 2014 coverage, their regular E3 guest Cowboy from ND [3rd main programmer of TLOU] talked how challenging it was to bring singlethreaded TLOU code to the multithreaded PS4 architecture. Instead of normal bugs, their code often fails in spectacular ways, giving them the chance to detect mistakes up to ~30 frames later. So they have to theorize how that error was made, create "traps", and hope that traps will eventually capture those bugs again. Video of this is not yet up on YT, but it can be watched on GB site.

Yes xD

Corrinne Yu is about to be fired from Naugty Dog for complete and utter incompetence.

Friends came out of the woodwork following Corrinne's hiring to try to let us know just what a disaster she'd been at Gearbox and MS, but it was too late. That is where I got the IGN quote from.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=103930215&postcount=1038

I am willing to substantiate my claims to mods. I will stand by my original statement that Corrinne is on her way out. Not sure when that will hit the press though. I am now of the opinion that some of the things I wrote should not have been posted to this forum. I do not take back those words.

Misterxmedia just had a post using these comments as "proof" that the Uncharted 4 trailer is CGI and everyone at NaughtyDog and Sony is lying and so on.


I find this amusing :D

He really nailed that one. LOL

I was there day 1 last year, but I can't wait to play Left Behind for the first time.

Same here. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I've been somewhat spoiled on it. :(
I never played through the main story again, so I'm also excited to do that again.

Wow, that insider guy really nailed that one, didn't he?

I'd completely forgot about him until now. His website and twitter are like the Xbox version of /r/pyongyang (except for the fact that everyone in /r/pyongyang is in on the joke). This one's hilarious too; "'DirectX12 exclusive' - a new term we will start to hear more and more soon...Fallout 4 will be a pioneer. @DirectX12".

Lol, this guy.

lol at these "calibrate your TV" posts. TLoU was really rough looking on PS3.

Yep. Every time I played through the game campaign I started to notice the issues with the game looks that I didn't notice before. The game opening is very pretty, but the rest of the game is very rough, not ugly, just very rough.

Don't know if I'll get the PS4 version at launch, but am looking forward to seeing how the game looks in improved graphics.

I know it's a longshot, but reaching 60fps means they could do 30fps in stereoscopic 3D quite easily, right? :,)
You still need to compensate for the greatly higher geometry calculations and other things, you'd also need massively more room for cutscenes.

It's not happening.

Well, they have already put her on crappy remaster work.

Although I am sure after this she will work on Uncharted
Trilogy Remaster
.

There is commentary. I am not sure if you want to include that as new content or not. I am looking forward to it, but I understand it isn't new "game" content.
