Uncharted 4: A Thief's End [PS4]

The part in the water was lovely, another TLOU influence btw (underwater gameplay). Makes me think, this time the "city" at the end (if there is one) might be underwater

Yeah can't wait to explore the underwater segment with those graphics, always wanted to do that in UC. Probably the closest thing to have Atlentis in Uncharted!

Long ago we saw concept art of U4 that featured pirate city that was half submerged. There were pictures of drake in a boat sailing between ruined city, and underwater shot of submerged buildings.

Animation blending is also excellent in that clip, they've really outdone themselves with U4, big props to the animation team! Since the first showing at PSX animation is one of U4s strongest suits; to be fair, animation was always a strong point of Uncharted games (and TLOU) but this is on another level

HOly shit thats so damn fantastic ! I would have flipped in the game if I hadn't seen this already. I think its time to go blind to UC4 footage now. COnsidering that the last trailers of ND games usually show off everything and spoil all surprises except the last level.

Very good blending animation again. It will be a long month but Ratchet and Clank will arrive soon.

Excellent parody

I experienced plenty of moments like that in The Last of Us where the friendly AI was also pretty good at supporting you when you were in a tight spot. Bill's town are a particular highlight because you had Bill and Ellie.

They were also used very sparsely as it seems to be the case in this game as well.

yep, used sparsely= doesn't count

What seems to be anisotropic reflections for hair and other materials during gameplay. As well as his hair moving and sagging when wet, we knew the game was using aniso reflection in cutscenes: http://gfycat.com/SociableDenseHyrax, just nice to see that in gameplay too

Straight from this video, 6 minutes in (thanks to zsynqx from gaf!)

Also, i may be wrong but i think water splashing in that video has actual volume (like water droplets), although it doesn't interact with the water surface on contact. I think the Italian guy also mentions the same thing, but i don't know Italian

Edit: From the same video, this is funny

 

[Clukos]

And last thing from that video, once again very good lod for the first 150-200 meters away from the player at least

And another good looking explosion effect: http://i.giphy.com/xTiQyfBGnmzjcAwMhy.gif

I love it when smoke doesn't fade away after a nanosecond. That's really good smoke. And I know smoke.

Why? What's shown looks to me achievable via 2D sprites like other splashes.

 

[Karamazov]

sure looks better than those horrible mass effect 3 explosions !

This video shows a player who exited car and explored on foot a bit

Like i said, it's just a guess, and it might very well be a trick but look at that:

Spoiler

Regular 2d sprite when Drake hits the water

That looks different (self shadowing?)

Breaks in contact with Nates hand

Looks like it has volume, might be just a trick. Still looks different that the regular 2d sprite inside the game by comparison.

"Playboy gaming" i didn't even know that was a thing

 

[ultragpu]

Man love the way the smoke dissipates slowly and in a very natural way.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Probably just normal mapping on the cards
