Dying Light Enhanced Edition PS4 vs E3 2014 Graphics Comparison

"Dying Light is one of the best zombie games of recent years. Graphics, gameplay mechanic, a huge city to explore, as well as the lates expansion, offering improvements in graphics and additional area to sightseeing only confirmed the quality of the game. However, going back to the time of the early presentation of the title at E3, we can spot some changes in graphics"

It's funny how you remember things. I played this like a year ago and honestly remember it more like the E3 version. But I was playing on PC so the graphics might have been better. Maybe not, I honestly don't remember.

ps3rider3613d ago

why e3 for me looked better

ONESHOTV23613d ago (Edited 3613d ago )

it does and their are more zeds on screen but this is the ps4 edition he is comparing so i shouldn't be surprised it doesnt look like the E3 version

OoglyBoogly3613d ago

It's stuff like this as to why I don't understand why Ubisoft, and nearly ONLY Ubisoft, get hate for graphical downgrades when EVERYONE does it!

Even with high profile games people just seem to not give a shit unless it's Ubisoft. Does anyone remember when CDPR revealed The Witcher 3 and said there would be no downgrade? Hell, up until just a couple months before release they were still saying there was downgrade. Game comes out and it was a massive downgrade from what we had been shown. I mean, look:

Now of course there was some disappointment and it did make the news, so to speak, but no one brings it up now when talking about how games get downgraded.

Just seems like a big double standard to me.

sullynathan3613d ago (Edited 3613d ago )

the excuse is that "the witcher 3 was soooo goood so lets ignore the massive downgrade because CDPR can do no wrong"

ONESHOTV23613d ago

i agree but UBI have given us the middle finger too many times this gen. i'm not going to surprised when wild lands and watch dogs 2 gets the massive downgrade

OoglyBoogly3613d ago

Well they have a lot more games released. I don't doubt that the smaller companies out there (like CDPR) probably wouldn't be guilty of this as well if they had tons of games coming out.

Rivitur3613d ago (Edited 3613d ago )

Because even on pc at max settings the games don't come close to looking like the e3 showing. While some of these games kinda come close. And besides it's not only the graphics that ubisoft screws us over in its also the content and reuse of stuff.

And also ubisoft doesn't learn

OoglyBoogly3613d ago

Bullshit. Watch Dogs, minus some depth of field, looks nearly identical to it's E3 showing. Go back and look at the two. The Witcher 3 is FAR more guilty of downgrading it's graphics from it's first E3 reveal.

mahmoods263613d ago

Aside from the massive graphical downgrade, it's because Ubisoft represented Gameplay that wasn't actually in the game. E3 demos are meant to be a slice of gameplay, I haven't had that kind of experience in Watchdogs whether in the open world or in story mode. Witcher 3 devs were open and honest about the downgrades and actually support mods which graphically upgrade the game on their official site. Plus, the game delivered as advertised. They admitted they had to scale the game back in order to make it workable on current gen consoles and showed the current version before release. While Ubisoft just whistled and pretended like nothing happened, pushing their preorders along the way. I think there's a huge difference.

OoglyBoogly3613d ago

Well you could just say that Watch Dogs was scaled back a bit. And CDPR only admitted to the downgrade after they were basically FORCED too by the media. They said there was no downgrade a mere couple months before launch.

So while, yes, Ubisoft has been more guilty of it more often CDPR is far from the good guy here or "better" in this regard.

_-EDMIX-_3613d ago

That's actually 100% incorrect CD projekt Red first denied anything was wrong and later on went on record to discuss the reasons behind the downgrades , Ubisoft did the same thing , both companies openly admitted the issues regarding the downgrade.

look it up.

Stop lying. I'm not even sure why you're trying to falsify something that can be factually looked up.

http://www.lazygamer.net/ge...

?😞

That does not sound honest and forthcoming to me. Mind you we all discussed this very openly and at length on this entire board when this was first revealed I'm not sure why you're trying to stir up or spin what actually happened.

Look at the dates bud...

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Lol did you seriously think we are going to forget enough for you to just a lie about the situation?

http://www.gamasutra.com/vi...

And

http://www.cinemablend.com/...

Soooooo pretty sure they both were not transparent in both later went on to confirm.

"They admitted they had to scale the game back". 😂 On PC too? Buddy, not even what the team stated.

"If the consoles are not involved there is no Witcher 3 as it is"

Annnnd

"Maybe it was our bad decision to change the rendering system," he mulls, "because the rendering system after VGX was changed."

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

_-EDMIX-_3613d ago

Agreed. Got it launch day but I would say it was riddled with many bugs features and clearly visible downgrade.

I didn't even buy Assassin's Creed unity and I could tell you that Witcher 3 is in the same ballpark in regards to bugs and issues along with graphical downgrade.

Mind you I don't believe either company did this knowingly or purposely to deceive, I just don't like this double standard of trying to shove another company into the dirt while ignoring another company.

the game that received so many Game of the Year Awards last year also launched with a huge downgrade along with many of the exact same bugs that people were going crazy about with Assassin's Creed unity, all you have to do is Google missing faces Witcher 3 and you'll realize the game was plagued with the same exact issues.

thelwebb1003613d ago

The difference is Ubi's downgrades are like a generational difference. I played The Witcher 3 on XB1 and the game still looks great, especially considering how big the world is. Watch Dogs on XB1 and PS4 literally looks like a PS3 game, there is no reason why Red Dead Redemption should look better than it! That's the difference fool, there is no double standard. Ubisoft is shit and they suck at optimizing their games..PERIOD!

OoglyBoogly3613d ago (Edited 3612d ago )

Dude that's bullshit and you know it. Watch Dogs looks great and it's downgrade was no where near the level that The Witcher 3 was if we're comparing first E3 reveals to final product. WD was missing some depth of field, a little detail here and there, and some scripted sequences. Otherwise it was nearly the same.

TW3 on the other hand was a completely different game E3 vs. final product.

UnHoly_One3613d ago

I'm glad somebody else finally pointed this out, thank you.

Witcher gets a free pass on EVERYTHING, and I have no idea why.

Sorry, but my version on the PS4 doesn't look that muddy... I'm sure they used a bank of high end PCs for the E3 demo, but still, the PS4 version is not as bad as portrayed here.

Tumaras3613d ago

I agree, my tv+ps4 with DL doesn't look anywhere that muddy either. I wonder if some filtering was done or maybe there was an issue in the output in this test. It's not as good as the E3 version, but closer to mid-way between these 2 examples.

Spyroo3613d ago

Exactly, like Wtf I just played it yesterday on my PS4 too and it doesn't look as bad as shown in this video. This guy probably just use the PC version and made settings very low etc

Sunny_D3613d ago

Honestly it doesn't look good at all.

I knew holding off playing it for 10 years was the right call.

ocelot07315d ago

I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.

Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.

Looking Back At The $386,000 Dying Light 'My Apocalypse Edition', 10 Years Later

It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Gamingsince1981445d ago

Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?

Vithar445d ago

For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.

LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
