Star Wars Battlefront [PS4, XO]

[Shifty Geezer]

So this is indeed an ingame asset, I know it's downsampled with uber AA and perhaps mental ray lighting but still astounded by the sheer smoothness of the mesh.

Ridiculous resolution of mesh. Total waste of resources if the assets are that quality. If you're standing that close to a storm trooper, that his head fills the view (in a 3rd person OTS perspective?), you're doing it wrong.

Hence I think they're fibbing. It'll be a reference model from which the assets are derived, maybe used in cutscene, or maybe the Super Ultra Ultra mode for PC. It won't be the model in the game running around shooting which'll be at best LODed down into something sensible, but even then starting from this quality would be pretty stupid.

Yeah agreed, I honestly don't expect actual gameplay model any where close to that fidelity. I think he worded it smartly as in in game asset but not necessarily real time, so could be prerendered in cutscene. Although if viewed in 3rd person at a distance it could almost look the same at a reasonable native res. A photomode would be most interesting . Not long now..

This means that that the game won’t look this good, but the in-game version will still be based on the same model and texture, probably losing the perfect anti-aliasing, while lighting might be different as well.

So it's not in game. The lighting especially is what will make it look different. It was pretty obvious.

About time we get some mech combat. DICE did it in BF2142, so I hope we can drive them in the new game.

Sorry but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

So excite, hope to see some PS4 footage if there is a god.

There's a small preview of the footage at the end of the new Star Wars movie trailer:

If that's how it actually looks I'm calling best graphics ever

He probably means that these two are somehow comparable. Which is, well... No comment needed!

Sorry but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Asset quality was already pretty high in the teaser last year.

Yeah that was the most important part of the trailer.

The color grading looks nice now

Also, here's the webm version of the clip:

And a screenshot that looks like it's from the Wii U version lol:

If that's not the last gen version then it's a MASSIVE downgrade:

 

[McHuj]

There is no last gen version.

 

[L. Scofield]

There is no last gen version.

Now I'm scared.

EDIT: GIF of the preview footage:

That "WiiU" version looks far more inline for what it could possibly look like ingame. I'm not sure what you think these machines are capable of but that looks very nice for lighting and detail.

I may have missed the sarcasm in your post but are you really saying that doesn't look amazing? It looks just as good as the other shot you posted IMO.

As for the GIF, no way that's gameplay. No way.
