That's just plain delusional.
Game's graphics are closer to Fallout 3 than anything current gen...
The only part of that trailer that feels current gen (graphically) is that evening city shot used for the article's screenshot.
Textures, models, lighting, and animations are all sub-par. GTA IV+, MGS IV+, Crysis 1+, Far cry 3 +, TES Oblivion+, Witcher 3, etc, all have considerably better graphics.
And also, everyone...
Maybe it's my "Witcher goggles"...
Hope I'm wrong!
Is no one else turned off by the dated looking graphics?
That being said, I'm pretty sure the gameplay, game world, and story will more than make up for it!
Pretty obvious by the trailer's graphics that it's cross-gen...
Terrible timing on posting this article...
You're competing with 2x "fanboy wars" opinion pieces, and a sales report! Everything else on N4G is in deep freeze until those other "articles" blow over.
Nice review though, totally agree!
They already cleared this up...
They are moving their focus from AAA releases, to more profitable mobile titles.
They are a business. Their objective/mission is to earn revenues.
And on the up side, mobile gamers are a lot less likely to complain about annoying stuff like "graphic downgrades" (based on assumptions stemmed from outdated pre-alpha footage), fps variance between platforms, and 10 rows of pixels.
TLDR: ...
Maybe all the whiny little b****** should once and for all learn their lesson and stop pre-ordering games, instead of putting us all through this s*** every time something is not 100% perfect - exactly what they want - the best thing ever.
It happens. A lot... Alpha footage != final build, Bugs not caught by QA, server problems not exposed during testing.
"BUT BUT BUT super nintendo games were perfect @ v1.00"
They were also about three thou...
There's a big difference between "publishers lying to you", and you drawing dumb conclusions from alpha footage clearly marked as such.
CDPR lifted review embargo a full week before release, and got 92 on metacritic (thats 34/34 positive reviews).
I think it's really unfortunate that a growing proportion of gamers are ungrateful brats that will complain just for the sake of complaining.
Games with this level of universal cri...
Graphics not good enough for you?
DON'T BUY THE GAME!
Seriously... it's all you can really do, short of making a better game yourself!
Complaining will NOT improve graphics in any way.
I'm sure there are tons of other games that haven't been "COMPLETELY DOWNGRADED AND RUINED BY CONSOLES AND GREED".
Or maybe you all can band together and try and sue CDPR and get laughed out of court l...
Yall are funny.
Can't tell the difference between 4k ultra pc vs 2k ps4, but at the same time act like 900p x1 vs 2k ps4 is like comparing old gen vs new gen...
Hypocrites.
I'm sure professionals from all walks of life who's productivity will be enhanced (revolutionized?) by hololens agree with your official decree.
I'm sure medical professionals visualizing MRIs and CT scans in a 3 dimensional context agree with you.
Or stock brokers, game designers, architects, engineers, physicists, etc that will be able to replace their half-dozen+ monitor workspace for a pair of glasses also OFFICIALLY agree with you.
...
Or maybe they'll just trade the game in and go back to playing Forza 5 or Horizon 2... The latter being (one of?) the best open world driving games ever made. Or maybe they'll wait for Forza 6, which will probably serve as a demo for the latest MS technology (DX12, maybe even further cloud integration..?)
Wow, this feed makes the PS4 version looks noticeably better than PC!! (and makes X1 look like a PS1 game!)
I'm tempted to say this video is "fake" and that all 3 feeds are just 3 x PC feeds with different settings...
Especially considering the digital foundry feed (other N4G top article) tells a totally different tale...
Reading these comments you'd expect instantly noticeable differences between the two feeds, like SNES vs N64 level stuff.
Aside from the fps/console text overlay, can you all help me spot the actual visible/perceptible differences between the two?
Just to be clear: I fully agree/accept that the PS4 is the better/more powerful machine.
/e and another question, why does the PS4 side seem all blurry when you pause the video and not the X1? ...
I'm guessing some time after completing an entry level high school economics class...
Didn't Super Mario Bros have over 30 levels and single player in 1985? /s
To all the haters: you are under no obligation to buy it, play it, or be subjected to anything about it. Complaining about every aspect of it will not yield anything. Seriously. They won't add a single player campaign, nor will they add launch maps, or space battles, or whatever else you feel you are owed/entitled to.
I find it funny you feel the need to discuss the x1 version when the topic of the article is the length of the game vs the time it takes to complete a speed run... Are you that insecure about your console?
/e 4 reply:
Truth: I own an x1, and I am definitely concerned about not having seen any footage, especially after the whole "wrong footage" fiasco a few weeks back.
I'm just getting tired of seeing anti-x1 posts everywhere I turn on th...
I just want to say thank you for not titling your article "Why YOU should be nervous for Star Wars: Battlefront".
Seriously.
Thank you.
