Notice the dirt on his shirt in the third to last shot? Love it. I'm also loving the simplistic HUD. and how it turns off whenever he is not in combat. The second to last shot is so good too.

Would be amazing if it was only pre-Alpha though, right?

Looks very promising. Graphics are beautiful and gameplay looks like fun.
I watch the video in full HD on IGN, but to bad the quality is still a bit crappy. Seems a lot of details are lots because of it. No doubt it will look stunning playing it on a big ass tv.

Depends on the game, but I would expect it to be alpha until early next year, with it's release date at the end.

It's really amazing to see how far the series has come since UC1 (direct shots of the original courtesy of GAF):

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune






Uncharted 4: A Theif's End

(the UC4 screens are from in-motion video, so are slightly blurred sorry).

I guess we already have the 2015 GOTY. All other games are playing for the silver medal from this moment on...

Facts aren't opinions.

this:

Is a clear downgrade from the E3 teaser, especially the hair:

ND said the teaser was in game graphics while admiting they used pre rendered scenes on previous uncharteds, but today's footage prooved they were lying again. the video starts with a pre rendered model to make drake's face look more detailed, although it's already less detailed than the teaser. but then AT THE 0:44, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE TRANSITION to actual in game graphics, with drake's face conviniently not visible (so that the transition isn't easily perceived). but you can check multiple parts of the video where drake's face show up for a moment and is clearly less detailed than at the start of the video.

So, it's basically: E3 teaser = pre rendred graphics that were superior than the starting cutscene of today's footage (wich was also pre rendered). and the opening cutscene is more detailed than the actual gameplay that follows. check for yourself.

In the end, the game's graphics are very detailed, with visible imperfections and lacking a wow factor, just like many other games. but most importantly, the graphics are clearly bellow the deceiving pre rendered scenes.

Perhaps you are confusing "in game graphics" with game engine? You can make a pre-rendered cut scene using CGI tech unrelated to the game, or using the game engine, but massively upgrading resolution AA etc because it's pre-rendered. My recollection of the E3 trailer was they used the game engine to make the scene, but it wasn't in-game rendered in real time.

Those comparisons also show how DF still looks pretty good for an early PS3 game.

This is my second most anticipated game only overcomed by MGS V. Looks fucking amazing.
