We need direct feed images before we judge but I doubt it'd look like the reveal trailer.

Lol. In some ways, some PS3 games look better than Deep Down. Sad.
I do too. I feel like the random dungeons and possibly lowered scope/budget for the game may have been major contributing factors to the visual downgrade, on top of the obvious reasons.

How can you tell from these blurry images?
no surprise at the downgrade, but it still looks decent (with months and months of visual polishing to go) and I love the concept. Still in.
Edit: Also due to the fact the dungeons are randomly generated, they're likely to remain on the simple side aesthetically. Comes with the territory.

Perhaps that explains why the environment looks so lacklustre - everything is randomly generated! If this is a F2P or low budget game, then I don't really have any complaints with the visuals. It doesn't look horrible but it simply needs an extra layer of polish.
Textures look like they could use a lot of work, but it's not like they're releasing it next week so it'll probably end up looking great.
Boom.
Boom.
I'm sorry but.. Some of those screen look way worse than some ps3 games. This is a compilation of the worst post processing effect imaginable, with crappy motion blur, bloom lighting, DOF.... The IQ is abominable at best. In a close environment with basically zero statue or any decoration in it, with not a lot going on on screen...
Just look at Kill ZoneSF, which is a launch game by the way, 1 year early compared to this one. Bigger places with lots of details, great models, iq, and lots of modern shaders everywhere.
Based on that, the game should look more like the original trailer than those pictures, if Capcom wasn't doing something wrong somewhere .. Don't pretend this is what we should be waiting from the PS4 lol..
I really think so. Everything in the reveal was posed and modeled specifically whereas the final game is going to just have to generate levels in real time.

They should not have shown that target render video. I'm sure the game, when all is said and done, will look great. I just don't like the bait and switch the Capcops pulled on us.

I can't believe God of War 3 looks better than Deep Down. But I think we should Capcom time - still a long way off till the game is released. I hear it will be playable at TGS 2013 though. Looks like we will find out in 2 weeks how this really looks on the PS4.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I wonder if the main guys behind MT Framework are all still at Capcom because they had the start of the HD gen just fucking handled.
Right now it feels like only Kojima and his team are next-gen ready with Fox-Engine and their asset fidelity. This may be the generation where the west just shows just too great a gap between their level of tech know how and every other seemingly dying dev house stuck in Japan.

Yes it's quite misleading I hate when they do that. But they have to show something and I don't get why they made the graphics so good. The current one looks like a gen or 2 behind. Very very far from the T.R

Yea, what an odd combo. The lighting is amazing, but the textures are very meh. Well I guess something had to give for that 60fps goal, right?

What I'm most surprised by is the number of people who actually believed the original reveal was gameplay footage. I'm seriously baffled how many people had convinced themselves that it was anything more than a tech demo

God, I read the thread as 'Yoko Ono tweets new deep art photos'.
I hope the game turns out great though. A Dark Souls/Monster Hunter mix can be pretty damn good if they do it right.

I think the main point of contention about the original reveal was whether it was cg or not, which it obviously wasn't.

Everytime someone posts footage from the "reveal" I...kinda die on the inside.
This game barely looks better than DarkSouls 2

I wonder if the environment looking like ass is because it's randomized?
the thing is, we’ve seen gameplay of stuff that looks about as good. games with incredible textures and facial animations and lighting. See Infamous as an example. that DD tech demo is not unattainable on the PS4.
It’s just that the current build looks shockingly bad with these poor textures. If those are final, it would be really weird. the lighting is still really nice but stones, leather and some things like sand look super flat and missing key detail.

Dark Souls II doesn't have much to worry about apparently.

Funny you mention DS2. It looks utterly fantastic.

Yeah there have been games, actual games, shown that approach that (I don't think Infamous is there but I see later gen PS4 games looking like 99% of the way) but there were so many things like the level of detail, super smooth but impractical animation and how little like a "game" the demo flowed that should have tipped people off

Man, I think the trailer will easily be surpassed this generation....InFamous: SS and Killzone: SF may surpass it already.
In fact, I expect Naughty Dog to do it next year.
I'm just guessing the studio working this isn't the most technically competent in the world. They are, after all, consulting with Sony for the development.

Looks good. The only thing I'm worried about is the "online only" aspect of this. I hope this game doesn't turn into one of those ridiculous money grab attempts (tons of DLC / micro-transactions).
Hopefully it will be a good value for my money like Dragon's Dogma, and not garbage like Asura's Wrath (true ending dlc) or Marvel vs Capcom (on disc shenanigans).

I don't even see the graphics anymore, all I see is online only.
not in the slightest.

it's a good thing we are looking at images from the final build of the game, and that it's representative of the quality we'll get at launch in the next few weeks, right guys?

Looks amazing... but... I agree with this:

Those games don't surpass it, but the trailer will not look good compared to the games were getting in 3-4 years.
I think there were several things that people were calling that reveal. some thought it was pre-rendered, some thought it was in engine but just a scripted tech demo, others saying it might have been gameplay.
FWIW, I was in the camp thinking it was in-engine but not actual gameplay, so no AI or anything. But not a demo that was running on some super high end PC or pre rendered CG.
What baffles me is the texture res drop with these new screens. I really hope theyre temporary as they bring everything down. the lighting is just about as good as the original reveal, imo. If they could get the textures back on track - which doesnt seem like asking a lot - it would get pretty close to that initial reveal
I still think this game looks very promising. Cant wait to see how it develops. I thought the reveal trailer looked great, but the camera obviously wasnt gameplay. It'd be cool if they could get it a little big closer, though.
Cant wait to see it after they tighten up the graphics on level 2.

Well, the original footage was a tech demo showing off their engine. It's not like it wasn't questioned at the time.
Stop it.
Second dragon picture looks very nice, but this just reminds me that animation, A.I, etc still has a ways to go and would add a lot more to the overall immersion than any amount of graphics - even if it was photorealistic, as long as the animation cycles are clearly running independently of the environment or the surroundings, it will continue to look fake and unrealistic.
In my opinion, graphic fidelity/quality has hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of immersion or realism, and animation, A.I, etc. is what they need to start focusing on. Even improved gameplay mechanics.
