SMAA T2X like inFAMOUS perhaps. Very nice. Great texture filtering too.So what AA do you guys reckon this game is using? The vegetation in the PNG's looks way clean.
Serious question, why is there such a dramatic difference between the screenshots like these and the ones shinobi602 posted?

It's not like .jpg files remove shadows and all the other graphics effects
I have this preordered on PC. I have a GTX970 but only 6GB memory... which is below the 8GB minimum requirements.
This isn't the first game that you can show cool screenshots and bad screenshots, and all of them are true.
Wow those new screens look great, gutted I missed the switchero of opinions. Some people were so amendment it was the worst looking thing ever created.
The rain looks pretty good, and I like how the armor gets wet.
I could easily, on PS4, take really ugly screenshots of witcher 3 or bloodborne or just about anything else. in fact, it may be a fun challenge.
Last ones. See you guys in the wasteland.
This game is probably going to be fantastic and I'll play the hell out of it, but let's be honest here, this is last gen in high resolution.
GAF was ahead of you on that one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=780398&highlight=I could easily, on PS4, take really ugly screenshots of witcher 3 or bloodborne or just about anything else. in fact, it may be a fun challenge.
Looks ok to me, I just hope it runs well.
One thing I am curious about is have Bethesda said how big the world is in comparison to their other games ?
Somebody posted super compressed shots and people here just ran with it? I'm shocked.Wow those new screens look great, gutted I missed the switchero of opinions. Some people were so amendment it was the worst looking thing ever created.
I think they've said it's comparable to FO3. Can't remember if they said there would be more interiors to explore, or if that was just wishful thinking on my part.
Those two images in particular seem to be taken to show how bad the game can look, whereas (at least to me) it seems that most of Shinobi's images were taken to show how good it can look, thus the disparity. Fallout 4, at least for most of the time you play it, will probably look somewhere in-between.
I dunno. Far Cry 4 on PS3? GTA V on PS3? Outside of image quality, looking at things like the assets and LOD, Fallout 4 seems closer to those than it does to their current-gen counterparts.
The game does have a nice art direction though. It's a big step up for the company in general.
They said it was comparable to Skyrim, but denser.

I seriously need help here, you guys. I own Fallout 3 and New Vegas on PS3 but I didn't really play much of them, largely cause I repeatedly ran into glitches. Beyond that, they honestly just didn't interest me much. But the hype-train with this game is starting to get to me.
It really shouldn't cause Bethesda has a terrible track-record in regards to performance and bugs but seriously... should I get this on PS4? I mean, I like the genre. I'm just kinda bored by the setting.
I'm literally hovering over the pre-order button right now. $52 plus a $10 certificate with GCU. Need advice.
Exactly why I pushed for skepticism earlier. Looks like a different game.
i hope we get some xbox one screenshots soon. This is looking good
Nope. This compares very well against Skyrim and Fallout 3 (the only games you can really compare it to, as Bethesda is the only one doing worlds with massive amounts of object-tracking, with most small objects being fully movable and storable by the player, along with a large landscape and player customization. The biggest thing is just how many items and objects their engine lets the player deal with. Until other games have it, the comparison to Bethesda's own games is the most appropriate.
How much you wanna bet this don't look leaps and bounds better on PC without enthusiast super high end hardware that costs over a grand? I have a 1500 dollar pc and i use to say stupid judgemental stuff until i realized that on the PC it don't ever look that much different than on consoles outside of higher resolution and better AA

The AA seems reasonable, and there does appear to be at least some attempt at physically based rendering here, though it doesn't seem to apply to all surfaces or perhaps it's just not especially accurate.
Just wait for the review thread and Digital Foundry face-off thread. When asked for comment, Gaf replied:50 pages screenshot thread?! Time to get some popcorn.
Did they actually state that they were using a PBR pipeline?
I see no textures using roughness values. All the rust everywhere seems baked into the diffuse. Aren't diffusing more light, the abandoned vehicles don't seem to have any metalness to them.
Everything seems to use specular with the exception of limited surfaces.
Went from page 1 to 24. Definitely on GAF

What's the deal with her arm/face?
I know the new shots show the game in a much better light, but perhaps it's time they invest in a brand new engine for their next fallout game. I'm thinking that's probably going to happen next gen, since they probably have another fallout on this engine before this gen is out.Their tech was on a different plane from most everything else when the first one released. Still remember how shocked I was with how impressive an atmosphere they managed due to engine, graphics, sound design, and world layout. Call of Pripyat with that global lighting during thunder storms at night=god tier atmosphere. One of the reasons I loved some of those FO3 and NV mods that made night night.
I think my main gripe with the way FO4 looks is how not just graphics overall are middling, but how the complexity of building scale is really starting to show the age of the engine. The gif with the deathclaw, walking through the towns, it really feels like all doors, basic objects like cash registers, buildings at large have the exact same scale relative to other Gamebryo/Creation games. Starting to feel like we're interacting with lego structures, which undoubtedly hurts immersion.
I get they won't cater to the highest end GPU's but if they pushed visuals a little bit more, I'm sure the difference in vanilla and mods would not be that extensive. You really did not need an amazing rig to run vanilla fallout 3 or skyrim, so it would be nice to see them push things a little more around the medium-level gpu standard.I play Skyrim modded like that with a framerate of 50-60fps at 1080p, that's on an i7 2600k and GTX 970, so CPU bottle necked slightly.
That's why there's so much GPU power "left over". They tailor their games for console since that's where the majority of the playerbase is. The biggest fans tend to gravitate to the PC versions though for the mods, and Bethesda rests easy knowing modders will take care of everything on the PC. That's not laziness though - even if they spent thousands of extra man hours on better PC visuals modders would just create alternate visuals to better suit their individual tastes anyway, especially given the limitless time modders have. They'll always produce better visuals than Bethesda could ever achieve, and they'll keep pushing it further as hardware improves over time. Better to focus on gameplay and content. Even Morrowind is looking amazing these days:
It looked a bit rough when I tried playing on that system last year or so.Skyrim on 360 was impressive.
PS4 .png's
Better shots for sure, AA is good, seems like 4x MSAA, textures and overall detail could look better, it would be nice for the mirrors on the car to be rounded and what would generally be round to be so, like the base of that pip boy stand in that original pic in the OP, however it can't be denied that these new shots are a fairer representation of the game than what was originally in the OP.
this might be the ugliest current gen game oh my.
