Uncharted 4 - Reveal vs In-Game Comparison + In-Game vs Ryse vs Assassin's Creed: Unity vs Crysis 3

DSOGaming writes: "Sony has released a new gameplay trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Back in E3, Naughty Dog claimed that its trailer ran on a PS4 in real-time at 1080p/60FPS. Therefore, we believe it's really interesting to compare that reveal trailer with the latest in-game footage, as well as the game's character models with those of Crysis 3, Ryse, COD: Advanced Warfare and Assassin's Creed: Unity."

[nucky64]

the game has a year to go and no-name sites like this are doing these types of articles....yeeesh!

[SardoNumspa]

What else are the Sony hating fanboys going to do?

Sit home in their Halo jammies crying their eyes out over the gaming world going crazy over the epic showing had today?

[ShinMaster]

The game is in alpha at most.
Why are they comparing two different videos? The reveal happened in a different setting under different lighting and he was wet.
And why are they comparing with PC games?

There are little details in the AC:U screen. It's pretty smooth (also cutscene?). And that game runs like crap.

Also that Ryse screenshot was from before the downgrade. That game runs at 25fps and 900p.

Nice try.

[Dee_91]

Yes, yes awesome article. I have more comparison pics
As you can clearly see here, from e3
http://badgerherald.com/wor...
and here the final build
http://cdn.culturemass.com/...
the game has obviously glaring downgrades you have to press your face up against your screen to see.

[Forn]

@Dee

lol +FunnyBubs

Looks more like an uprlgrade in visuals to me ;-)

[Skizelli]

"Oh, and for what is worth, Uncharted 4 is undoubtedly the most impressive – visually – console game we’ve seen to date. This comparison does not mean that it looks awful. On the contrary."

It helps to actually read an article before forming an opinion.

[Double Toasted]

Its a downgrade no matter how you spin it.

[Harold_Finch]

Why would people who hate Sony moan about a game they are hoping to buy?

The entire point of the childish squasheads moaning is BECAUSE they don't think they are going to purchase the same game shown at E3.

No fanboys involved, it is just a lot of moronic wannabe gamers that don't understand the difference between "Realtime in engine" and "Gameplay."

E3's video was a cutscene, The Last of Us's videos looked different and better than the gameplay so it should be obvious by now.

[GameNameFame]

Compressed crap out of youtube video.

Is this a joke?

and telling us that there is no shadow when there is no direct light source. No shit. Thats just pure desperation.

Making excuses for developers/publishers deceiving you is foolish.

Would you handwave obvious deception and lies if it was an Xbox One exclusive? What if it was a multiplatform game? Plenty of people have expressed disgust at Ubisoft for example, after the amount of downgrades their games have received after they were revealed.

Apparently Naughty Dog are a special exception to all of this however, and free from the same criticisms that the rest of the industry endures when they try to pull the same scams on people.

Here's an idea, how about people stop being blind fanboys obsessively defending their favorite console/developer and actually call BS like this out? Imagine how much better the industry would be, and how much gamers would benefit if stuff like this simply was not tolerated.

But no, can't do that, they're the ~Naughty Gods~.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

In-game graphics will never look as good as cut scenes. So what? It's not realistic to compare a movie to gameplay. Just about every game does it. Remember the Halo 5 reveal with Master Chief all covered up in a hood? You think that's how the game is gonna look? Or how about Halo 3 with the young girl and boy laying down looking up into the sky? Is that how the game looked? Ever seen sports game commercials, they show up close action of the players jumping or crossing the ball between their legs even staring their opponents down with determination, then you play the game, and all you see is the back of these figures in uniform. Maybe that's different, I don't know. But just about every game shows and advertises with footage that doesn't look like what the real gameplay looks like. So what's the big deal?

Edit: radler

I just don't see the crime in a game having cut scenes and developers choosing to show them when they reveal the game. I mean if they make a law against it, then yeah they should have to follow it.

Or you want games to not have cut scenes? Or make the cut scenes look crappy so that they never exceed the visual quality of the actual gameplay?

I mean I like cut scenes, some games tell stories and cut scenes are a good way to add more visuals that aren't possible during gameplay.

I mean I can usually tell the difference between gameplay and a movie.

[radler]

Funny you mention that, because laws were passed to protect consumers from just that with the requirement of, "Footage not representative of actual gameplay" or whatever the actual disclaimer is, to be visibly placed in any advertisements.

It seems developers/publishers are finding ways around that now (the disgusting bait and switch with Dark Souls 2 springs to mind) but hey, I guess since it's so common that somehow makes it okay?!

You're totally right. I say we should just let developers and publishers lie to and deceive us as much as possible. I mean sure it's an appalling business practice, but they're my favorite developer for my favorite console, so I'm gonna bend over <3

[rhcpfan]

@radler

Spot on

[ShinMaster]

@ radler

Wrong.

They never showed gameplay before. Therefore, we never saw a downgrade in gameplay, unlike Watch_Dogs or Far Cry or Assassin's Creed or RYSE. Sorry.

What you saw was a cutscene taking place in a different setting and lighting condition than the gameplay video.

[radler]

Wrong. They went out of their way to write "THE FOLLOWING TRAILER WAS CAPTURED DIRECTLY FROM A PLAYSTATION 4" before the Uncharted 4 reveal. You can go check yourself, the trailer's still up.

They said nothing about that being a cutscene, and the official line from Naughty Dog and Sony was that it was 'in engine'. The only mention of it being a cutscene has come from insecure fanboys desperately clutching at straws to try and rationalize and defend ND's inability to deliver on the original reveal. Sorry :(

[remixx116]

@radler dude just stop

First off it was obviously a cutscene, if you couldn't tell that from what you had scene then your as blind as everyone else that you call blind.

Also an article just posted on n4g claiming the footage was washed out and they provided a link where you candownload a better version of what was posted.

No downgrade bro, just crappy initial footage that still looked better than most anything out there. Don't believe me? Go check the download yourself homie.

[mechlord]

Lmao

Haters gonna hate, fanboys gonna argue.
Me, i know that i will be playing lots of truly masterpieces coming exclusively for the house of Playsataion next year and this game is right there at the top 3.

2015 belongs to playstation, you can compare sh*t ad nauseaum if it makes you feel better.

[Imalwaysright]

Nope Radler shouldn't stop

When I saw the reveal I thought that it was a pre-rendered cutscene and someone from ND on Twitter (I think it was Corrinne Yu) said that it was all in-engine. That was obviously a lie. I don't know about you guys but when a dev lies to us gamers, I take it as an insult. Don't lie to us and don't talk to us as if we were all 5 years old.

EDIT:

http://n4g.com/news/1526852...

Look at how many N4g users were deceived by her lie.

[Gamer1982]

Indeed Sony haters gonna come out and attack everything they can after Sony got a ton more exclusives yesterday. It really does smash the xbox to bits in terms of exclusive content.

[Mykky]

Naughty Dog never lied here as there obviously was no downgrade, at least we don't know yet. The footage we saw from E3 was a cutscene and in all the latest ND games the cutscenes has been looking better than the actual gameplay.
If we was shown a cutscene and it looked worse than that from E3 then it would be a downgrade. Most likely what was shown at E3 is how the cutscenes will look and what was shown recent is how the gameplay will look.
The same thing was done with Last of Us, stating it was captured in engine when showing a cutscene. What is up with the sudden criticism now?

[Gazondaily]

Can you lot make your minds up? First of all you were jumping on the backs of everyone saying how it was definitely in engine when it was shown at E3 and now people are downplaying it saying 'oh it was so obvious that it was cutscenes'.

So what was the point in getting so excited about cutscenes in the first place if the actual gameplay looked inferior?

So the devs received hell for Watchdogs, AC etc but here people are giving ND a free pass. Fair enough if it's alpha footage but at least admit that the alpha itself isn't as impressive and no where near the kind of fidelity that was shown before.

And to all those saying this is the best looking console game ever...I just don't get it. The Order and Quantum Break look more impressive to me. With the exception of a few moments, this didn't look as jaw dropping as I thought or as many on here are obviously pretending it to be.

[GameNameFame]

@Septic.

It is clear you are clueless what you are talking about.

Cut Scene was done IN ENGINE. No one said it was not cut scene. The big deal was that it was not pre rendered cut scene, but is running in game engine.

You do know that every single game out there has different graphic between cut scene and gameplay.

You do seriously know that right? or are you telling me you dont. Watch Dog's gameplay footage was not same as actual gameplay. No one ever complained its cutscene footage is not same as gameplay.

This gotta be most desperate straw grap if iver seen one.

Please go make post about how every single game in this world has different graphics between cut scene and gameplay. Please go ahead and do that.

http://a.pomf.se/okazks.gif

and let me know if this graphic is even possible on QB

@imalwalys right

I can't tell if x1 fans are seriously this lacking in intelligence.

Cut scene is not gameplay.Seriously, for real?

You do know Ryse and Tomb Raider had different graphics for cut scene and gameplay.

Unless you are comparing cut scene to cut scene or gameplay to gameplay. You do not have a comparison.

Lol. X1 fans are so jealous now days.

[Mykky]

@Septic
What the heck man? Make our minds up? I was never impressed by the trailer at E3 as it was only a cutscene. (It did excite me though) But I always knew the actual gameplay would not look like that, you have to have little knowledge in games to believe so actually. You paint a pretty black and white picture of the people commenting here, but it seems you are too blinded too see that.

If you mean this is a downgrade you have to mean that The Last of Us is a downgrade from when it was first shown, as it did the exact same thing. Showed a cutscene in engine and then gameplay later that did not look as good as the cutscene.

[konohashin]

As retarted as it gets....

As expected....

Its always some kind of conspiracy or sony hating right?

Even sony gamers can bash other sony gamers because the fanbase is by far the most retarded one. I am a sony gamer and I probably have more Sony consoles than you have.

We are sometimes extremely arrogant and act like little children.

Fuck microsoft for XBL fees. Hey cool PSn has a fee now lets support it.....

[Ratty]

@ShinMaster

Also I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the reveal was pre-rendered anyways. Since when do we compare pre-rendered with real-time rendering.

Edit: nvm they said it was realtime. This kind of thing is to be expected though.

[Imalwaysright]

@ GameNameFame

How is it possible that someone as intelligent as you, is oblivious to the fact that there are in-engine pre-rendered cutscenes like the Uncharted reveal which add more detail, have better lighting, etc AND there are also in-engine real time cutscenes like the ones we saw in MGS4 that don't add effects but allow us to interact with them. I'm shocked that you don't know this... absolutely shocked.

Due to Corrine's lie, many gamers believed that the gameplay portions of Uncharted would look exactly as the reveal, evidenced by the comments in the link I posted above. I'm sure that someone as intelligent as you can actually read, right?

BTW I'm a PC gamer and the only next gen console I own right now is the Wii U so no need to group me with X1 fans ok? Thank you.

[blackout]

This has nothing to do with hate. It has all to do with that mysterious 50% more power. It's a year after launch and all the Sony fans are saying the game is a year away and they still don't have anything that looks anywhere close to Ryse the graphical console game of the year (AMAZING). So if this is a year away what will the X1 be coming with a year from now. 50% more powerful is bullshit. Enjoy quick time gameplay and grass swaying cause from what i see Sony has duped everyone.

[dreamed]

Dont you realise how much of a fanboy you sound like?...anyway im sure this game will destroy its competition,it looks really good.

[holin4]

Ryse one of the first games from the new gen, and still the best looking game (i dont think theres a valid argument to this).

I do agree this game has a lot of time to improve and it already looks awesome! lot of details, all that vegetation... crazy.
Lets see what happens when GOW its reveald, things are going to get nasty...

[GameNameFame]

"i dont think theres a valid argument to this"

summarize all those x1 fanboys in denial.

DONT WANT TO HEAR LOGICC AND FACTS!!!

[DeadlyOreo]

Ryse certainly isn't the best looking game haha. Don't be silly now.

[holin4]

I do think is the best looking game (talking about released games), yet its not that important we all have seen what happens with great graphics and shitty gameplay... a mediocre game that's the result

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

LOL, "all that vegetation"

Last and only other person I ever heard use that word related to video games was the guy that was displaying the game Motorstorm: Pacific Rift to people.

Anyway, by GOW do you mean God of War or Gears of War? Gears of War might look great, it was one of the best looking games all last gen for sure. I though the sequel was kind of a downgrade though, I didn't play any of the others after part 2.

[Ben Dover]

Ryse? Creating a game with decent graphics yet still dips to 10 fps is the best looking game for you?

Thanks but I'd rather have some fps as well instead of playing a stress test. You're so in denial it's embarassing for you rofl!!

[holin4]

Lightning Mr Bubbles:
yes i mean gears of war, also looking forwards to god of war

[Azzanation]

Then it would be smart not to show anything if its going to make the game look bad. They are showing people early because they need to show something, its marketing and hyping of there product. Sheep fall for it, I don't.

[nucky64]

oh! you're so smart!!! we need to look to you for the answers!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU AZZANATION FOR SPREADING THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S

[therevolution]

Here's the issue, when the first trailer was revealed they said that was the IN GAME character model via the official company Twitter no less. I distinctly remember having a conversation with people an d doubting it would look that good only to be told that Naughty Dog could pull it off, sorry the game looks good but honestly not as impressive as MGSV, Quantum Break, or even Kill Zone or Infamous First Light. It wouldn't be that big a deal had they not said that reveal trailer was what the in game would look like. Other than that it looks good, but the art design isn't as compelling as TLoU but where Uncharted has always shined has been gameplay (at times), big set pieces, and animations. I hope Naughty Dog pulls those things off and it could be a home run.

[Kingdomcome247]

I think it looks great still, but Corrine Yu even went as far as saying that they were shooting for it to look even better than the E3 reveal. Kind of deceptive.

[Blaze929]

The hypocrisy. Everyone got mad and wanted to boycott Ubisoft for the Watch Dogs downgrade.

[fermcr]

From what I saw, the gameplay video of Uncharted 4 was quite the downgrade from the reveal teaser. Didn't they say that the teaser was running at 1080p/60fps? Surely not on a PS4.

If this was Ubisoft that done this, all hell would haven broken loose.
Actually Ubisoft did do this and all hell did broke loose at the time.

The hypocrisy...

[BallsEye]

Unbelievable how this topic is up and wasn't removed by mods yet. I know my comment about downgrades was. Oh the bias.

http://i.imgur.com/MxXlyGO....

http://www.gamepur.com/file...

What's up with that, mods? Gonna accuse me of photoshop -.-? Same thing was with killzone, deep down, and few others. CGI trailers shown as "gameplay" and no one getting mad at all, sony get's praised. When Ubisoft or any other company makes a TINY downgrade all hell breaks loose. The hypocrisy of sony community. You are to be blamed for this downgrades to happen. If we'd boycott it, they would have learned and finally show us what we will really get.

[geddesmond]

This is how propaganda starts. The trick is to try and discredit something at its early stages to try and kill that hype. Then every few weeks release more propaganda bit by bit piece by piece until then when the game gets released the final part starts and thats bad reviews.

Negativity spread quicker than any disease out there.

Edit oh and just remember Drake was wet with the moonlight shining off him in the first reveal. It was also a blended cutscene before control comes to your character like every other UC game has had.

[monkeyDzoro]

Yeah... Let's compare an... ALPHA all right ?! To fully polished released games which by the way don't look better than this ALPHA, and let's make some conclusions... Sigh.
Ofc some elements of this whole gameplay will be missing compared to the E3 trailer exclusively and purposely made for that particular event.
Obviously godrays and shadows plus water effects will be missing from the final game, as always in every ND games have proven this far... OR NOT.

[jwk94]

I really don't think this concern would be made if the game looked significantly better than all of those games at this stage.

[Blackleg-sanji]

Wtf damn the sony salt is strong that they did all this to compare an early build

[MelvinTheGreat]

Laughing at all the people who thought that the game would actually look like the receal trailer and the people who were comparing games to the reveal trailer

[Silly gameAr]

I'm just laughing, period. Keep fighting the good fight fellas.

[ninjahunter]

Cmon, naughty dog does this with every game, no ones surprised.

[Vandamme21]

Uncharted 4 looks incredible....I cannot wait...playstation is on fire right now.

[Clunkyd]

Not even going to bother clicking the article, came here for the comments.

[Manic2014]

E3 Build is superior, but you have to bear in mind that's a target render. Nonetheless the game looks terrific.

[thehobbyist]

Is target render gonna become the new buzzword for bullshots and false advertising?

[Manic2014]

Well actually It's an actual phrase in animation and design, especially in games. Every single game has a target render of what they wish the game visuals to be like. Quantum Break's target render is also different to the gameplay shown some time back.

[SnotyTheRocket]

So, you base your purchases of video games from trailers that come out 2 years before the game is out? k.

[Vegamyster]

The E3 trailer was a In-engine cut scene confirmed by ND's Corrinne Yu on Twitter, not actual gameplay. Funny i remember seeing people on this site claiming it was the best looking game ever made based on that trailer but completely ignored what Corrinne Yu said lol.

[SpadeX]

So they're targeting something they already made?

[Jughead3416]

No matter how ignorant and stupid they seem, you knew the inevitable comparisons would happen. This is one of the biggest game releases of the last few years, so people will jump the gun on any news that they can.

[HeMan76]

Ryse a launch game looking miles a way better than U4 better say killing it and tearing piece by piece.

@pedrof93

heyy kid many years before you was born I was playing games so please move on.Any one who has even broken eyes say that Ryse killing it.Thats it.

[pedrof93]

You're 35 year old virgin.

[hiredhelp]

Imature comment

[Ben Dover]

Rofl.. need some more lube with that HeMan? You're probably well aware the Xbone wouldn't even be able to run this UC4 demo unless it was downgraded to 480p.

Btw.. what resolution and fps (10.. rofl!) was Ryse running. Yea you got owned alright!

Looks good with almost a year to go.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

The reveal trailer was not a "target render" or any of that other BS. Different lighting and time of day makes it looks different. Still graphically destroys a good portion of games coming out.

1) Drake's hair isn't wet.
2) Everything isn't shiny and glistening underneath the moonlight.
3) They didn't get super up close to Drake's face like in the reveal trailer.

[Vegamyster]

The E3 footage shown was not gameplay, it was simply a in-engine cutscene. http://i.imgur.com/MVFFswZ....

[BlindMango]

Exactly - the problem with developers is they keep revealing the game with in-engine (instead of in-game) footage and people who don't understand the difference say "oh this is what the game looks like" when they see the in-engine trailer and then call it a "downgrade" and are disappointed when they see actual in-game footage!

[RiseofScorpio]

Well they are using a 4 year old engine cuz of money problems.

[u got owned]

Its the same engine for sure

[DonFreezer]

Why does Ryse on a 50% less powerful console look better than Uncharted 4?

[ainTgoTTime2bleed]

Because TAH POWESSZZ OF TAH CLOUDSSZZ....

[Spotie]

You guys are hilarious.

[Silly gameAr]

I think I know try hards when I see them, and people are definitely trying their hardest to put Uncharted down. It is pretty hilarious.

[Assassingamer136]

That's because it isn't. A game that renders at 900p and 15fps how is it even debatable

[Ryan741]

The thing I like about ND games is how the character chats away to him/herself throughout the game. Sounds silly but brings me in deeper, wish more did it.

[Doomeduk]

A photo mode on this like Tlou is gonna be wicked time sink for me.

[joefrost00]

I understand why they didnt put QB in this cause
QB destroys this game graphically

[Gatsu]

Who cares really? For gods sake it looks fantastic, these comparison images or videos are always so stupid.

[Harold_Finch]

ONE IS A CUTSCENE

ONE IS GAMEPLAY

=======================

ONE IS A CUTSCENE

ONE IS GAMEPLAY

No downgrade and no alpha excuses. One is one gameplay and the other is just a cutscene.

If this isn't understood by tomorrow, i wish a book to drop on each of your doorsteps so you can finally get around to reading one and giving yourselves the education you deserve.

[mysteryraz11]

game is still in alpha and isnt even close to being finished

[xTheMercenary_]

i'd say its just over half way done. if it wast close to done then we'd see a broken and unfinished game on release day which is sometime 2015.

[strangeaeon]

Are we actually splitting hairs graphically this far from release? God man, get a life DSOG.

[GamingTruth]

quantum break or any other game you can think of isn't 1080p and 60fps and open world

looking like this

[bababrooks]

1080p@60fps .....it's all in the fun and not the numbers;)

[iain04]

If the story and gameplay in U4 is as good as the other 3 PS4 fans are in for a real treat. I will look on with envy

[kingduqc]

The game looks great, but it seem there isn't much new.

When he looked away at the huge vista I got excited, then the sour taste of linear level design killed it for me. It could of been much more then uncharted with better graphics imo. Still excited but i'll hold a bit to buy a console I guess.

[Assassingamer136]

The scale is much larger, environment larger and gives you more options, you climb with hangers, ability to toggle flashlight in hand, stealth in bushes, new cinematic fighting comparable mix of uncharted/last of us, ability to attach ropes and swing across logs and use takedowns, sliding takedowns, struggle when doing hanging takedowns when enemies ledge onto your feet, you find out drake has an older brother. All of this in 12 minutes of gameplay and there is nothing new?

[kingduqc]

still point a to b, just a bid wider.

[Assassingamer136]

kingdubc

I swear you people are the biggest trolls more and more I begin to hate this website. What game doesn'y do poiny a to b? It's so stupid how you comment something like that. If there is no point a to b then how can you do a proper story?

[PhucSeeker]

Don't really care about graphics downgrade and what not, the game looks awesome but the lack of 60fps let me down a bit. Hope they can bring 60fps to the final build .

[urwifeminder]

Looks like ps3 game compared to the others.

[Tinglebob]

As a ps4 owner am really looking forward to this game loved the last tomb raider and it was just an enhanced xbox 360 game so uncharted ps4 will be much better looking and have more enjoyable detailed environments, and have only played unchartered on the vita and loving it can't wait to pay uncharted in the ps4, but anyone who says there is no detail loss between what we were originally shown and actual gameplay is def lying. Here's the thing the originally footage was running on the ps4 in real time but here's the catch it was real time cgi on the ps4 and can see the clear drop in detail from actual gameplay. Not the first game to do this, what I don't understand is why don't these companies show something far less detailed in their early footage so we are pleasantly surprised by actual gameplay detail instead of showing currently unachievable cgi even top spec PC's haven't achieved this , deep down is another good example of leading people it's better looking than it actually is, But in no doubt this game is still fabulous looking just not as great as people were lead to believe ie cgi quality , thought I do truly believe the ps4 is capable of cgi quality detail and games a year from now will show this is possible it's just a matter of developing graphics engines that take full advantage of the hardware. Previous consoles had big leaps over a few years in detail on their games and am sure the ps4 will do too and also has an edge with the better ddr5 ram.

[Tinglebob]

Still am hopeful if the game has a year to go that it's used to increase the detail to the same standard as the original footage though feel this won't be the case

[Tinglebob]

Though looking at this playstation event blood borne seems to me to have a better level of detail than this

[WeAreLegion]

I can't believe these guys are using cut scenes from other games to compare to Uncharted 4 gameplay.

That's insanely impressive that they had to do that.

[S2Killinit]

Yup. Having played Ryse, thats a cutscene in the upclose facial. Same thing with the CoD i imagine.

[WeAreLegion]

It is. And that's not to take away from how gorgeous these games are. Crysis 3 on Ultra looks almost as good as the cut scenes. They are in-engine cut-scenes, as well. Absolutely gorgeous. Same with Ryse on PC. Just incredible. (The XBO version also looks great. I rented it last week.)

Still, impressive first showing of Uncharted 4. I can't wait to see more!

[Dirtnapstor]

Desperate cries... The footage was awesome. You can't deny it. Lets be realistic, unless you were present at the convention, you have no business critiquing the game play as far as visuals go. The twitch feed really sucked. For that matter, any feed will never do it justice.
We've got a year to go and I highly doubt ND is going to fully maximize anything at this point.
This game will take the cake!

[ironmonkey]

man sony is killing it hard. there is absolute no competition.

[thexmanone]

I know I can`t believe how bad those screen shots are. I mean a Ryse just kills them all, and its a launch game. Xbox is in it to win it. Can`t wait for 2015.

[S2Killinit]

Lol i think he meant Sony is doing the killing. Oh and please dont compare ryse to uncharted... Its an insult to gaming.

[Trekster_Gamer]

dumb article. I am a huge fan of Xbox One but loved the uncharted series on the PS3. Uncharted 4 will be my reason to pick up a PS4.

[GearSkiN]

Wow killzone did it, uncharted did it too... And of course hard-core ps fanboys be gettin bad coz a game didn't look that great...

[plmkoh]

The video wasn't even colour/brightness corrected and now we're using it to compare?

[jhoward585]

Right on. The game isn't finished yet. It needs more work.From what I can tell so far, There are very little to no diffuse texture maps in uncharted 4. Like you said, it doesn't seem to have the proper color corrected filters, etc.
The last of us has lots of diffuse texture maps everywhere to give it some variation in contrast; And knowing ND they will also use diffuse texture maps in uncharted as well.

I have faith in ND.

[plmkoh]

Yes, but it's actually even worse and one step before even considering programming the game. The video is shown in RGB16-234 versus RGB0-255 that we see when we play games. The difference is things like seeing more detail or blacks that are actually black rather than purple. Not to mention details that have been over-explosed out due to over brightness.

See here
http://i.imgur.com/areLaGC....

That's why you can't use the debut trailer versus the released gameplay, because the trailer was correctly balanced. I wouldn't be surprised by E3 next year people will claim the game has been upgraded graphically, when really all they did was release a corrected video.

[jhoward585]

@plmkoh

Yeah man, I can't wait to see the final product at e3. A color corrected vid can definitely make a difference.

[JackVagina]

I dont think its been downgraded at all, these people are just mistaking compressed footage and improper RBG settings

check out this pic
http://i5.minus.com/iT2LBHU...

[jhoward585]

@JackVagina

Yeah, that's a great comparison pic b/c it clearly shows that what we saw today was the early build of uncharted. His face was too clean with no bruises.

[vicristion]

The game looks great, has a fluid gameplay. Uncharted 4 & the Order 1886 & Assassins Creed Victory are my favorite games for 2015. I definitely buy them.

[hkgamer]

not sure how fluid the gameplay is, but nd was always great with animation. the main reason i bought te first uncharted was because of these nx gen animations which no other studio has been able to match.

also dont forget about mgs

[Dyldog69]

This whole generation has been entirely disappointing. Graphic downgrades. Delays. Broken game releases. Hacks. Lack of optimization and system features. Weak launch titles. Project borepheus. Oh and utterly retarded fa(g)nboy wars.

[Condemnedman]

It looked a little been there done that before.
You guys are easily pleased

[paranoid1971]

Just waiting to see the reaction when the first halo 5 footage is released and it looks nothing like the reveal trailer

[PS4isKing_82]

Not shocked. Forums on gaf and vgchartz are saying the same thing I am is that the game just isn't that huge of an upgrade to the ps3 games.

Yes it does look nice but not to the level ppl were hyping it to be.
Plus most western developed games are boring these days anyway visually.

Games like metal gear, bloodborne, Mario kart 8, Zelda, final fantasy 15, street fighter 5 are way interesting visually and graphics wise. Too many bland and muted and grey colors in western games is making them all look the same which is why I think a lot of ppl were disappointed with the reveal.

[Osmondo76]

Debut trailer has very close-up pictures and there werent much enviroment detailes compared to latest demo, where vistas are just mindblowing. And if you look close-up pictures of Nathan from debut trailer to Nathan brothers, you can see there is more details in Nathan brothers face like pores and wringles. And cut-scenes always looks better than gameplay cause game-engine isnt running at fullest at backround

[MattE]

The sony fans need to get real.. It was these fans talking about how this game would be the benchmark for the generation.

The footage comes out and Xbox fans are puzzled as it isn't as impressive as they have been told.

Its on par with tomb raider (the last tomb raider) from what I have seen and I think Crystal Dynamics will be pretty happy now they have seen uncharted footage - even if the game is a year away.

Sony are putting naughty dog in the same league as rockstar?! For some reason that's beyond me and ND are riding that wave with you..

Xb1 has nothing to worry about next year.. That is for sure

[windblowsagain]

Rockstar?

Rockstars engine is purpose built for being open world.

Uncharted's engine is being retooled along the way for the PS4, considering Uncharted1,2,3 were unmatched graphically on PS3.

DRIVECLUB destroys all racing games graphically and is a 9/10 game in it's own right. Too many fanboys ruining reviews.

[hkgamer]

i have yet to see a full hd video yet since my laptop died on me, but at 720p it looks ok, was expecting a lot more.

however, as an uncharted fan. i am really happy to see this video. looks like choice of action has changed drastically with different ways to approach enemy,malso lots of high and low terrain meaning that battles would be tough and finding ideal location whilst moving would happen a lot especially in the toughest modes.

its still as linear as before but climbing doesnt look as obvious as before.

comparison to rockstar is a little stupid. rockstar is known for open world games, nd more on the linear side. really depends what you like more.

[kenshiro100]

Keep living in delusional land.

[souga_houjou_jin]

Many xbox fangirls jelly here
deal with it ppl...uncharted 4 will smash everything next year accept it already

[Helloween13]

The best game of all time just got better, bring on Uncharted 4 just cat wait for this masterpiece of gaming to enter my PS4

[JMyers]

The game is a year away and already looks better than anything on last gen. No doubt that ithe will turn out to be the best looking this gen too.

It was super early.

[hkgamer]

there is definitely qa downgrade in lighting and other effects, but that was a given since they are cutscenes.

naughty dog has always had great looking cutscenes because they use different models.

saying that, i do think that tlou did have a big downgrade compared to what was shown, im guessing lots of bullshots were shown. aa was never that good.

[Gwiz]

If you're talking about anti alliasing you do know AA is not really perceived when looking at images?,you'll need actual game-play.

[ritsuka666]

This Comparison= aples and oranges.

[Zizi]

Oh come on, Bruce Straley said the demo is a tip of the iceberg. Naughty Dogs will do anything they can to improve many things, including the graphics.

[kenshiro100]

How exactly is there a downgrade if one was a cutscene and the other was in-game? And why exactly are they comparing Uncharted 4 to other games that came out already?

Wow...journalism continues to grow worse and worse by the day.

[Gwiz]

I'm just waiting over here,nothing to scuffle over YET!!.
I really hope they improve the story-telling over UCIII.

[Yaay4me]

All i know is that, that Uncharted gameplay looked great and looked like it was a blast to play, so i really dont know why the article is so pessimistic. Cant we just be glad something fresh is coming to gamers? Its gameplay everyone always cries about right? Well, here it is, and the visuals are the cherry on top. Stop nagging and be gamers for once.

Edit: i do want to point out that the fooliage was the best i have ever seen in a game in my life. But i havent played PC games too often. I would imagine getting the plants to look and feel so natural, in a game that heavy in plants and trees, was a major achievement.

[alb1899]

Now looks just as Tomb Raider but without the beautiful walk of Lara.

[WeirdShroom]

"But this is just a different..." Shut up. His jaw is fatter, neck is shorter and his overall model is less detailed. Don't blame it on lighting. Still looks fantastic. Just not as good as that bullshot trailer we got before. Yes, I know this hurts some of you to fathom and your eyes will lie because your brains are too weak to handle such things. Relax....it still looks good. Be happy. Seems every game gets bullshots(bullttrailer?) these days. Nothing new.

[Hakoom]

looks the same with difrent effect..
the 1st trailer he was wet and dirty and the moon was shining on him
the 2nd he is clean and its just night

[S2Killinit]

Im thinking some of the people on this thread are jelly.

Like this guy above. He is on every article about Uncharted bashing the game. Here is an idea! Why not just go get a PS4...and play the damn thing, so you wont feel left out. You can still play on your xbone as your main console even.

[hobbitooo]

uncharted4 and bloodborne can blow away all competition
all these comparison is crap, how can they compare a pre alpha trailer with all the patched up games?

[Morpheuzpr]

Quick question is there a limit to the amount of people you can ignore?

OT: And the media hate for everything Sony continues...

[lildudexst]

Wow amazing even the gameplay look solid can't wait.I know they not finish but man this is amazing. A must buy now that 3 games so far.

[feedthereaper]

I take these type of demos and articles with a pinch of salt. Its ok saying "look at how amazing this looks, PS4 for the WIN!" but then didn't we all say that about Watch Dogs when they released a demo of the game? Or what about the amazing looking AC:Unity that is just the biggest joke of this generation so far?
Until the disc is in the drive and the controller in hand, I wouldn't set anything in stone or boast about things!

[Xavior_Reigns]

You're actually comparing Ubisoft to Naughty Dog?! Like really? LOL, these two couldn't be anymore further apart in talent.

[sorane]

You're right about that. Ubisoft is leagues ahead of ND in talent. Not only in graphics, but also in variety and gameplay. ND produces nothing but short linear mindless action games. The easiest genre to produce.

Those screens are beyond anything ND could hope to produce. All while being open world and not the usual claustrophobic corridors that ND relies on. Sorry about the massive UC4 framerate and graphics downgrade. I'm sure it'll provide a nice mindless 8 hours of linear fun though. Hope people are just smart enough to rent it instead of wasting $60.

[Xavior_Reigns]

@ Sorane

Reading your comment history shows me you're easily a PC elitist. So no doubt you're comparing screens of ACU & FC4 on PC to an alpha build of UC4, which is still a year or so out. Anyone with a brain knows that with the right build, a PC will destroy consoles. I'm not one of the fools who'll believe otherwise. However these downgrades you state are still off, but if you seriously think UC4 will look bad you're* wrong. For a console game, it'll be top grade when all is said and done. Open world or linear, I could care less, I find the quality of ND games much better (bugs and glitches won't be as common place either, but go on and use the glitch that occurred yesterday - again on a unreleased and still in development game.)

Anyways I'm out of bubbles, I'll enjoy your reply where you continue to make PC gamers look like pricks. Though I will say you really just look angry ND doesn't make games for PC.

[sorane]

"Reading your comment history shows me you're easily a PC elitist."

hahaha only on n4g telling the truth makes you an "elitist".

"(bugs and glitches won't be as common place either, but go on and use the glitch that occurred yesterday - again on a unreleased and still in development game.)"

What makes you think that bug will ever be fixed? It was in the retail releases of the last couple UCs. I remember my npc guys falling through the maps and insta-losing my missions multiple times.

"I'll enjoy your reply where you continue to make PC gamers look like pricks."

Ahh yes the usual "I have no way to counter your arguments so I'll just throw really tired insults at you" comeback.

"Though I will say you really just look angry ND doesn't make games for PC."

Why would I ever need ND games on PC? I already have countless mindless short linear tps I could buy off Steam for $5 or less that have better graphics. I prefer much much deeper games that actually have replay value.

[Xavior_Reigns]

I guess trolls really enjoy eating crow. I mean hasn't Infamous SS, Killzone SF, and Driveclub taught them yet? Each game turned out looking better than what was first shown and now they're doubting Naughty Dog of all developers?! LOL, I guess Halo 5 won't look any better at all from what has been shown huh...

It's like all you idiots forget this is a game possibly a year away still and in its alpha stage (just like Halo 5 is nearing its Beta stage, with a year out too - both will look much better.)

I get the click bait negativity though, negative XBO news was everywhere and getting clicks like crazy, now bashing the PS4 is probably getting twice the amount of clicks. Keep eating it up fanboys.

[ion666]

All I gotta say is finally fucking straps for guns in a 3rd person game. That alone had me excited .I've been asking for this for years. Metal gear let's do this. It's this little graphical upgrade that sells it to me. Love it

[txchris89]

History tells us that Naughty Dog always improves the graphics of Uncharted before the game is released.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Insted of opposing fanboys bashing the amazing greatness of Naughty Dogs... They should rather worry about what games they have coming to compete with the fidelity of graphics/gameplay of Uncharted 4, The Order, & Bloodborne

[blackout]

What do you mean what's coming. i live in the now. What are you playing right now PS4 fan. Tomorrow is not promised. So to my point, while you wait my X1 will continue to be used with games i can play now. All these game announcements from Sony. Let's see how many release.

[russo121]

It seems the majority of critics comes from xbone fanboys, and frankly, I expected the inverse. But reading arguments (90% illogical) from xbone fanboys, to me is a clarification that this game rocks! To xbone fanboys - y'all never play this masterpiece in you console of preference but I know in your deep you regret it - showed by the angryness in here.

[agame914]

With a name like Septic your obviously full of crap

[russo121]

Lastly he's / she's showing it's true colors, an xbone biased fanboy.

[masterfox]

lol the gameplay was shown in a different setting, the first video shown was created in such way to create a launch trailer not a gameplay trailer, there are a bunch of reference in the new video that shows exactly the same effects shown on the first one.

[cristi1990an]

I don't know what to say about this article... I still think that at some point in the game we will see the exact same cut-scene as in the E3 trailer, with the exact same graphics. And I think the hair looks pretty much the same. Maybe the darkness in the first video hides some of the imperfections.

[MALVAD0]

wow just wow Xbots comparing multis vs exclusives ...stop crying really a this point u guys are goin to cry for First party game like uncharted? use the BRAIN this game is only on ps4 cry when is a multi NOUGHTY GODS r using the PoWERFUL Ps4 not inferior console here is no parity even pross said the xdone is inferior doin parity doesnt hurt sony but make xdone look bad and ubi already know how bad $$$$$$$$$$$ no money in the bank account but here ia nothing to see This game is just for ps4 keep walking ......i see i think is menstruation days thats why u guys are ungry damm hormones use some tappons becouse u guys need it .....
