Thanks Shinobi, always a good thing when you get involved! Good to have eyes on some uncompressed pics. My opinion however is that so long as the graphics are reasonable I don't care. All about the sense of adventure for me and that's what Bethesda delivers without fail.
Shinobi on a completely separate note, have you got anything planned for N7 Day next weekend.

PS4 .png's
These look quite nice. I think as long as one does not look too much into distance the game will look fine. The distant lack of shadows and AO will hopefully be fixed on PC.

Should I cancel my ps4 preorder?
Yes IMO,
that thing is pretty much better than the ps4 in all circumstances
Texture quality is really bad. Little hope they will be improved on PC.

It's a shame these came after the damage of the thread was largely done. Wish the title could be updated to say "[PNGs added]"
The Anti-aliasing, light, and color all look stellar for the complexity of this open world

See...lol this is what im talking about...looks good on PS4

Finally, PNGs. Also confirmed that you change the UI color, nice.
I'm not saying you're lying and have any visual mods installed, but the font on the UI is different from the vanilla UI, so you have to have something changed.

Damn those new pics have me even more impatient, looking great on ps4 and I cannot wait to start up my pc version on the 10th.

Man i actually am shocked. How can it look this different? Wasn't the only difference that the first ones were JPG and the new ones PNG? Man my enthusiasm was somewhat down, but it's right back up again. It looks really damn nice. Especially the light coming out of the vault.
Wow, as long as the X1 is not too far behind those I'll be delighted!

Well, those are arranged carefully to not show off the primary faults (draw distance, LoD, shadow rendering distance) of the OP images.
I don't think it has anything to do with the image file format
This is correct. Although anybody expecting the consoles to throw details and shadows way out into the distance are fooling themselves.
Edit: By "way out in the distance" I mean more than like 30 feet.
"Leaps and bounds" is a rather unspecific metric, but I'm certainly willing to bet that you don't need enthusiast-class hardware to mitigate some of the more distracting drawbacks identified in these shots (that is, draw distance for clutter/foliage; ambient occlusion; shadows).
Arranging screenshots is almost like arranging a photograph. It's an art form. Just look at the screenshot thread

It's a good thing we have mods. I'm sure the PC textures will be better. Maybe they will release DLC like with skyrim. That table shot looks pretty rough though.

It looks good. I wonder what improvements we will get in the new geck.

I can live with the average graphics but what happened to the colours? It looks so bland now

Ok, those look much better.

Are you serious? I think the screens actually look pretty damn good.

Already addressed that above, used Darnified to replace default UI. No effect on rendering.

My issue, ultimately, is the frame-rate.
I'd be a lot happier with that graphical fidelity at 60fps. A lot happier.
But as a 30fps current-gen game it just looks bad, at least to me.
Bland colors? This is the most colorful game by far that Bethesda has ever made. Fallout 3 and NV were very reserved with their palettes, with FO3 in particular being mostly brown. FO4 looks VERY colorful witu bold primary colors and contrasts.
I remember this explanation. Still I don't understand how CPU stuff (like the complexity you said repetitively) can influence the graphic tech in the game. Isn't it gpu relative? You don't gain magically more CPU resources using less gpu. Or not that much.

Looks fine.
The PS4 Share JPG quality is terrible. PNG should be the default setting.

There's an excerpt in that post that explains why the amount of shit going on in Fallout games, and the sheer number of individual moving parts, taxes the GPU as well as the CPU.
No doubt modders will have a field day with Fallout 4 and this is why I don't believe texture themselves will be improved, I'm just hoping for better LOD/draw distances and AO.
In any case I'm pumped for the game, got it for 35 retail.
Looks decent enough on the tech front. Does it run well on PS4? Artistically, I am loving the look of this game.
Bait!
I think you missed a "not" there

The difference between launch day Skyrim PC v console was pretty fucking large, even before the high-res texture pack was officially released. It's not like resolution, AA, draw distance or shadows are small upgrades, they're probably the most obvious changes in IQ you can make besides texture size. It's not even going to be close if their previous games are any indication.

Should I cancel my ps4 preorder?
I would, you have a PC that's better than a ps4.
medium settings and you will do fine
This 100%
That was the first thought to come to my mind. It looks like they had this queued up for last gen.
One good thing is all the bugs should be worked out since it looks to be a rehash of Fallout 3 with minor tweaks to the engine.
How exactly? I mean that's quite improbable the complexity influence the graphic tech used. I repeat it's more a CPU thing here.

Is that the fuzz hiding in the two circles their the quality of the blooom and post-processing?

Of course, it won't be a contender for the best looking game but I think it looks pretty good. Plus, what happened to the "graphics don't make a game". Take a look at Ryse or Killzone: Shadow Fall; awesome graphics but story and gameplay wise, those two are forgettable.

could never
New shots are better.

After spending hours on F3 and New VVegas, Vegas on PS3, these screens looked good to me. Not long now
Graphics don't make the game, but they do contribute.

Same here. But if we are to believe Pete Hines there's pretty much no difference. It's unfortunete that we didn't see Xbox One shots yet, but i guess the reviewers just wanted to try out the PS4 version the most..and of course let's face it, more people with a PS4 than Xbox One.

I did actually!, I'll fix that.
I was just so excited!
You've got really hairy balls.
