Neo is a PS4 system.

Come on now, lets not make this about semantics.

If they say PS4 system it is the PS4 system we all have in our home and stores. Neo is not just a PS4 system, its a specific version of it with altered hardware specifications and capabilities.

I am sure that saying PS4 system would more than suffice and they wouldnt try to troll everyone. It would be disastrous for them if they did that.

I made a comparison. It's not the best, though. I used 1080p youtube videos.

It seems her jaw is a bit smaller in 2016 trailer. Also, in 2016 trailer, her eyes are a bit smaller.

WOW! That's a huge difference. I'm sure that latest trailer is Neo version.

NO! IT'S NOT!

The shape of your face changes when you make expressions. I can create the impression that my face has a smaller or larger jaw based on angle, lighting, my expression, etc.

don't try to be rational here, you might get killed by NEO, game looks outstanding, looking forward to the E3 demo

They look the same. The differences are with the lighting, angle, and expression.

I'm not convinced, I'm saying we can't be sure. I see lot's of juniors in the runup to E3 stanning for PS4 though. You're the one that's apparently convinced.
The key fact is indeed that we can't be sure.
It may or may not run on Neo, it doesn't matter. The problem is, with the existence of PS4 Neo, from now on the standard ps4 user will always wonder: will the game look like this on my base ps4 ? Will it run smoothly ?
It's going to be pretty annoying.

Crikey, I must have one of those stealth Neo PS4's myself, and they must have sent it back time or had it ALL ALONG!!! (launch model PS4)... because my god Uncharted 4 looks absolutely ridiculously stunningly unbelievable. Image quality is almost perfect, so much detail, gorgeous lighting etc. No way that game can be running on PS4 looking that good!


.....
 
I want to buy this game's OST!

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's licensed music. Spent the night listening to a bunch of trailer music, including a number of songs with Julie Elven's voice.

It sounds so good! I love it!

The motion blur got a huge boost:

Some of the game's effects look almost too good for an open world console game. But that's just my opinion.If it's just purely engine optimizations and not the neo version then that is great!

Jesus this thread. Lol at people saying this is running on Neo.

The game looks awesome, but the trailer isn't the best I've seen.

Also, don't curse me, but I'm still praying for some sort of MP. Preferably co-op.

This is basically my most anticipated game now, which I would never have expected considering my history with most of this devs games. God I hope it plays as good as it looks conceptually and visually.

Well open world games can have very different requirements.
GTAV and Ass Creed Unity with all those NPC are very demanding regarding CPU+GPU.
But look at a game like MGSV which features an "empty" open world - it runs @60fps on consoles and has some very nice effects running.
 
Really looking great and improved a lot compared to last year which shows progression. This is 30FPS game and we already seen what ND did with OG PS4. GG is known to push the system and I believe them to consider this is running on OG PS4 and not neo.

I for one am excited there is some human combat, and those humans controlling the more man made robots looked cool as hell.

Yeah that is also a possibility. For comparison here is U4 and Doom motion blur implementation.

I really like the motion blur in horizon. Very clean even though that is a compressed video capture.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

Just want to point out the old robot covered in vines and plant growth looks to be one of the same models or similar to the black robots we see later in the trailer in the more desert like canyon area. They seem to be much older models as the are depicted covered in dirt, grime and rust and seem to be "sleeping". It also appears like an unknown man in a mask is getting them to rise up for him, not sure if he's actually controlling them.

Hey Bruce! I've been really busy... had a baby, dealt with some difficult personal things, kinda drifted away from gaming a bit (mostly just commented on OT) and now things are starting to sort of stabilize for me and I'm starting to game a bit more again.

So I'm starting to follow gaming news again more closely, and this game is just something else. Every time I hear about it, it sounds like they personally designed my dream game. I don't know what else they could add to make it sound better than it already does :p

I want this so bad. Like Robo croc boner bad :D

I just hope this runs on my regular ass PS4 at all and has decent gameplay.

PS: GG, PLEASE steal ND's rain tech. Thanks.
 
i feel like guerilla took a lot of inspiration from naughty dog

that or uncharted 4 is really fresh in my mind and slight resemblance is making similarities appear that way

that and some of the environments are somewhat similar

Glad your back man things weren't the same without you. All you guys are having kids and making me feel like I'm wasting my life. Thats awesome news though man it now falls on you to have a kid with perfect gaming taste. This game really does feel like the kind of stuff I would day dream about when I was coming up with my theoretical perfect game. Its really pulling me in.

Is there some massive improvement I'm not seeing?

That's right:

A slightly better build of what they showed us last year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkg5UVTsKCE

Sure it doesn't look that much better than the E3 video, but what is suspect is that the Paris Games Week demo they showed off several months later had several framedrops while the previous E3 trailer ran perfectly without a hitch. I'm gonna guess the E3 trailer wasn't all that honest when it comes to performance.

Who knows what is the latest trailer running on.

What if early on in the game you find that hi-tech place and it appears to be some sort of omnipotential controlling device and the game switches to a Civilization style strategy/building game for the remainder of the game?

You seem really bothered by someone bringing up the possibility that this isn't running on a base PS4. Chill out.

What possibility? You trying so hard to spin that game is running on Neo. LOL. Does game looks graphically better or much better than a year ago?

NOPE, it's the same basically

It looks like all the animals are mechanical beasts right?

So where does that fur come from all the humans seem to wear?



Apart from that I love the looks and the mystery of it. Would love to play that one, but sadly won't ever get a PS4.

I'd be in the dick
Why are people doubting this is running on a PS4 though? It's not as if this is the first time we've seen it. All I'm seeing is better AA, probably sourced from ND

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkg5UVTsKCE
Exactly. Better AA that looks like what was in Uncharted 4 and some better motion blur are all I noticed. There's still pop in and shadow flickering. The camera angles used in the trailer probably hide a lot of flaws and the cutscenes look pretty similar to Shadow Fall and Until Dawn.

The only thing I hope the final version will not have is the very noticeable LOD transitions.

Ofcourse that was present in the early demo, so I hope that they will have smoothed out the LOD transitions.

It's like people already forgot how amazing uncharted 4 looks. Killzone shadoefall looked great and this looks like a natural step up from that.
