    Short non-spoiler video of the ending zone of the PSX 2014 demo. Game looks so awesome in its finished form.

    Best AA i've seen on console. At least on static images.

    Lighting seems drastically more impressive than the PSX demo and of course the addition of volumetric light beam, motion blur and AO really do help to bring out the look much more. And this is only from a damn YT vid.

    And that's only just the local river, wait till we get to the open Caribbean sea:grin: with all sorts of crazy corals and what not. The graphics in underwater tho is simply eye meltingly good, everything just moves and looks so natural it's almost real.

    Same area, second shot compressed due to source being a youtube video but it looks completely different.

    the way it light eerything and the colours, feels much more uncharted on the final.
    the old one looks too gritty

    Does that still look like a regular 2D sprite? :p

    Looks like a hack of some sort and definitely not some over complicated calculation but looks good.

    Honestly, the IQ is unbelievable... also, it's the best looking game i've seen to date.

    Is this gameplay? Holy shit. The sheer density of detail is unbelievable.

    Reading multiple reports on game length, people say anywhere from 12 hours (without much exploration) up to 18 hours, and that time doesn't include cutscenes. Seems to be around TLOU length and better than any previous Uncharted in that regard.

    The push for transparent materials in U4 is beyond anything I've ever seen in a game, something even The Order shied away from (with few exceptions). It looks so different to what I'm used with games, and yes it has flaws. It may even not be the most technically innovative game when it comes down to it (that would be Dreams), but i just can't stop being impressed by every single piece of footage I've seen (thankfully I kept it as spoiler free as i personally could, i don't know much about the story at all). This is easily the best looking Ps4 game to date.

    Yes, this is well and truly the most incredible game I've ever seen, not only did they went to town with the amount of details, all the assets are drenched in beautiful lighting, shaders, all kinds of volumetrics, excellent shadow LOD and a pristine iq to boot. I got a feeling this is the main money shot of this game.

    Lord almighty:shock:

    The lighting and PBR are crazy, also the subtle SSS on Drake's ear makes it so natural.

    I'll make an argument it could be. Render the sprite with a distortion channel and adjust the background pass for your refraction. I'm not seeing anything 3D in that. Which tallies with the other scene where Drake is in the sea penetrating a flat water surface. If there's any water modelling tech, why's that water just a flat plane? The giveaway will be when we can capture and compare splash footage - sprites will have the same repeating patterns of drops.

    Shit quality (and annoying kid + music in the background) but the thing i was talking about with dynamic subsurface in the water, just skip to 3:00 and watch for 20 seconds, no need to see anything else
    I don't think it's actually 3D droplets, just give the appearance of being so with the light refraction and shadowing. It's most probably a hack, but a decent looking one at that, i think it looks much better than your typical 2D sprite.

    my first time pre ordering from PSN :D

    got the digital deluxe edition.
    Dont care about all the bonuses except the story DLC.
    and... the bonus wallpaper is horrible. truly horrible. (low res textures, barely dynamic, low-contrast system background)
