Yeah. I think the thing is, they developed for like 6 platforms, so they were probably spread too thin to really optimize it. InFamous looks so good because they only had one console to focus on.
Though AC: Black Flag had just as many platforms so I dunno.
The main reason seems because the engine has its roots into the past generation, where cpu was more important, even for the graphic. I post some quote about a developer on beyond3d who tried to explain why could happenend in the engine, if I find it.

nice lighting in this. pc or console? what pc settings?
Its right there in the comparison we were discussing. PS4 still has pixelly shadows, even if its better than Xbox's. Seems plain as day to me.
You are repeatedly impossible to discuss anything PS4-related with though, so I'm probably wasting my time here.
Its a resource hog. Go to the PC performance thread and read through it a bit. I'm not saying the PS4 is weak, I'm saying that this game itself has ridiculous requirements.
He knows what I'm talking about. He just refuses to admit the PS4 version could be flawed, too. Would diminish the victory over the XB1 comparison somewhat.

Yay, just received my Xbox One version 
Where exactly is pixelated? To be a resource hog not mean it's well optimized, I thought the pc is a good prove. Stop to talk like you are the more expert here, please. We are all to the same level for discuss.
Lol to the last part bolded. I'm the first who said ps4 it's flawed too. I'm not sure what you are talking.

Yeah pretty sure someone said it was PC.
Where exactly is pixelated?
Look at the edges of the shadows. They're not as big but they're there.
EDIT: Yeah, if you look at it from a small screen you probably won't see it. Having it in the quote box I can't really see the pixels on the PS4 shadow. But the unquoted pic you can see it.

Given that "blood donor" isn't an occupation, I'd say there's a 0% chance that wasn't a total zinger tossed into the game on purpose.
Are you looking at this from a cell phone or a tablet maybe?

Not sure what you're having trouble seeing. Would be even more obvious if it was full-size.

I think he means low quality,hence the aliasing.
It's that tough try to be less arrogant? I appreciate it. I missed it. Yeah shadow seems filtered in some way, it's not that easy to notice, but surely it's ton of times preferable to the xb1 version in this picture.
This is even completely false. I never said ps4 version is flawless in any of my post.

For those who are buying the game on PSN:
PS4 version is 20.4 GB and PS3 ver. is 16.6 GB

I'm playing this game since yesterday and to be honest, in the first hours, the games is really, really nice.
I ended up buying it on PS4 because of my friends list and because the ultra setting on PC doesn't look so ... incredible. Anyway, on PS4 the graphics looks pretty, a lot of stuff moving, some nice shaders, low poly stuff, good animation, nothing incredible, but pretty good in the overall.
I'm sure WD2 (PC-PS4-X1) will have a better visual !
I know people love awesome graphics, but It's better to move on and talk about the gameplay. Right now it looks pretty solid to me, I will reserve my next judgement after 10-15 hours of gaming.

Nice. Shouldn't take that long to download then. Though I'll probably initiate it from my laptop since I'll be at my friend's house most likely.

Could that be confirmation that the cutscenes are in real time and not pre- rendered video? I read that someone was getting screen tearing in the PC thread as well.
Gameplay is alright, just been done better by 3 different series already. Story after Act 1 (about 5 hours) is boring at worst and hilarious at points when it shouldn't be.
I think it's a good game to wait for a sale on when you don't have much of a backlog to get through, but not much better than that.
I literally saw a video not but a few minutes ago where a pedestrian's occupation was "blood donor"
If it's a zinger, it's intended to be a "lol poors/lazy" thing and not necessarily an HIV gag.

I think that's where they got the inspiration from.
Wow, I'm more impressed how it's turned out on ps3 than on ps4. It's incredible considering the hardware.
Possible spoiler, be careful.

What's happened to that Cyberpunk 2077 game?

I'd absolutely love to know what sorry state this game was in before the delay. I think I'll get Wolfemstein instead. 1080/60 and looks sharp.
The most shocking thing in all of this is I've seen some gameplay streamed now and some.of it looks fun but the driving, pedestrians, story looks horrible. It reminds me of something like True Crime.
Sleeping Dogs isnt my favourite game ever but it's certainly memorable and I get the vibe that this game is a couple of notches below that, certainly no GTAV.
Obviously I'll reserve my final judgement until I've played it but damn colour me dissapointted and a little sorry for Ubi, they really failed on this one.

For those of you playing, how are the multiplayer elements? Are they inspired at all? I get the feeling it's similar to Dark Souls' mp
Also for those of you playing, how would you compare it to the original trailer, does the AI behavior feel as dynamic or was that pretty staged?

Quick impression after one hour (I hate work!): It's great, already had a lot of fun roaming around and hacking stuff (or people, lol). Can't wait to play it for hours this evening
Forgive me for pinching your post and using it as a springboard for my own: I assume the game tracks completion a la the later Assassin's Creed titles. Is the MP component part of the 100% or is it perfectly possible to hit full completion strictly in SP?
I was wondering this as well. I'm assuming you're referring to Louisville, KY?

Why is the pc version the smallest? Maybe the leaked version is missing stuff?

Is the Xbox version missing ambient occlusion?
Devs are doing amazing stuff with compression lately. I mean Wolfenstein was only 4 gigs.

I see what you did there
There seems to be some graphic bugs with the civilians. Look at his hands.
Michael Jackson had that same "bug"
This comparison from polygon is interesting. Quite poorly done tbh but shows different contrast levels to the video above with XB1 having brighter colours? and black crush appearing?
Also is this the first time they have done one of these don't remember the doing these before.
Edit -
Well now Ubi trying to outdo EA with them bugs

Just a simple one, do you enjoy the game so far? what do you like? what not?
Wow, that's cool.
Played a little over an hour of it, enjoying it so far. I don't actually mind the driving, at least when using the interior view anyway.
Had a little laugh when I hijacked someone's car, they then proceeded to call the police and as he was mid sentence reporting the crime I shot him, then I heard the officer on the other end say "hello? Could you repeat that?", a long police chase ensured which..ended badly.

"I just blacked myself."
What platform, any mentions of this from someone esle?
