I looked at digital version and they have this story mission DLC.
Have ND announced its release date? It's not coming at day one right?

Something that could explain the draw distance in U4, saw this video by a VFX artist at ND posted a month ago
Not sure if this is used for U4 though.
I think this is going to be released in 2016 but at a later date, like Left Behind.

TR's PBR is broken or not accurate enough according to DF.

On PBR
On AO
As for lighting in TW3, there's only that cheap 2d hack light shaft, not volume based. You can't see the beam when the light source is not within player's view.
And what's wrong with the stuffs I mentioned about Infamous?
Good find
This episode is the best, so much emotion and effort put into this game, love it. It also changed up the formula from the previous 4 episodes, different soundtrack used throughout the video and different outro. The first four felt a bit formulaic imo.

Using a PBR material in the "wrong way" (according to their own subjective eyes) doesn't make it factually non-existent. The shaders look fine to me on PC. In fact, several games boast having PBR and in actuality, NONE of them are the true PBR that is understood in the offline world (i.e. you need true area light importance sampling with probability density functions). Games use only the distribution function of specular/diffuse lobes. They never compute real refraction or absorption AFAIK. So I essentially ignore any "PBR" speak concerning games. So basically your comments are based on someone else's subjective comments on how things "look" as opposed to what they actually used in the graphics engine. Then they don't give specifics on how these materials are "inaccurate". For all we know, the artists could have been directed to that particular look as opposed to the engine not having the correct math for a distribution function.
This doesn't apply to the PC version -- which uses 2 superior forms of AO, HBAO+ and VXAO. Both of which have incredibly good approximations on the real solution (especially VXAO).
Can you give a valid video example of UC4 using volumetric lighting? And before that, define volumetric lighting in it's context to games.
I can now understand why you got banned from gaf. Can you please not do this? Maybe open up a thread called "VFX_Veteran against console video games" this is off topic discussion that derails the whole thread to an argument that first, we can't have right now, game is not out yet and second is not even remotely interesting to the majority of posters here...
On topic, i like all the little subtleties in this scene from this episode high quality gif/webm: http://gfycat.com/JealousPersonalGerbil
Seriously, these "oh but this game on PC at 4K looks miles better than Uncharted" kind of discussions need to die. And the usual suspects who keep starting them need to go to a galaxy far far away.
Another one, i like the camera movement in this one: http://gfycat.com/RemorsefulDaringHagfish
I was going to point this out.The way the character have this realistic scheme to them. I especially love the " eyes " and there is no more dead eyes to the look of it.
And the subtle detail. Such a nice scene. Can't wait till may 10th and what they will show for TLOU.
And I so want them to implement an awesome photomode lol and maybe a machinima mod like they did in U2.
Hope this will be another + GOTY just my most anticipated title of this year with FFXV.

Holy amazeballs. Where's that from? Although I must admit his torso seems to blow up in proportion, suddenly because he pulls his shoulders forwards and upwards
Incredible work, the eye movement I liked, the most.

To be fair it's only the PS4 threads he pollutes.
Sure I'm not denying real time PBR is of the same quality as the offline one, but there comes to a point where logic would kick in and people could simply judge them using common sense. The specular highlight in the TR's puddle reflection is as bright as the source light which in real life it really shouldn't be, that is one hellava lighting fuck up and immediately breaks the sense of immersion. Again I'm not entirely basing everything from DF, in my play through on XBone which looks exactly the same as PC version bar HBAO+, a lot of the outdoor lighting either seemed too bright or too flat, the material doesn't always look convincing.
In uc4's story trailer starting 1:35 you can see light beam shines through the cave, then light source gets occluded by falling rocks but still retains the volumetric beam.
Drake doesn't skip shoulder days does heHoly amazeballs. Where's that from? Although I must admit his torso seems to blow up in proportion, suddenly because he pulls his shoulders forwards and upwards

?But yeah his eye movements are convincing as hell.
As much as you are always trying to make people feel like layman when it comes to offline CGI ( I mean, even your damn user name is kinda of douchy ) you regularly prove how little you know of real time tricks yourself.
True volumetric lighting vs. fake/postprocess is a very common theme, nothing he made up at all. You don´t need to give everyone such a hard time man...
