Back with your unsubstantiated takes, lol.

:/ This industry will never fail to surprise me how they try to outdo the competition.
As an owner of multiple 4k displays, people have a strange obsession with resolution here. While higher resolutions are nice, you have to pick what you're putting your limited GPU resources towards. Also all of the upscaling techniques have tradeoffs, especially when handling motion, so I can understand why some devs would choose not to use it

Subjective and easily disagreeable.
When your engine and AA implementation gives the appearance of a super sampled image anyway, I guess reconstruction is kinda unnecessary.
Why not? The game will be better and most likely be cheaper. It will definitely not be worse :)
one thing the video did show is what i expected will happen in the "are you going to wait on PS5 to play the upcoming games".
i answered that i will play on PS4 the exclusives and wait on the third parties because i generally trust first party devs more to deliver a more stable performance on current gen consoles.

Spoilers will be hard to avoid for a whole year.
And this is totally fine as "impressive" is totally subjective. It just doesn't have any purpose in this thread ;)
It depends on what media you use. I am currently playing TW3 and can say that I go in completely blind because I barely participated in the threads at the time (because I didn't buy it on release).

If you can wait a full year (or more) for a PS5 version or an enhanced BC version, power to you.
I don't have that kind of willpower in this case lol. Hell, playing the remaster after the PS3 version of TLoU made me appreciate it more.
I did as a joke because of the hot takes :)
when it's Naughty Dog there's a lot emotion from both sides and I like to poke at the most absurd ones.
I can tell you that when it comes to technology and graphics which rely on perception, faking it is way better than making it.
I won't have a problem with it and I don't think it will take a year for the patch :) I guess instead it might be a selling point for PS5. I will just treat it as a next gen game :)
People have been disappointed at their support of the Pro since Uncharted 4, I think it's pretty fair criticism.
It mostly comes from fans of the studio, too.
For sure. Faking it may be a lot more work, though, so it's good that technology keeps evolving so that maybe someday it won't be necessary.
Yes, but i have a very deep respect for them because of their focus on the base model, so yeah, they could up things a bit more interesting like GOW - which hiccups in the base model, but yeah, 1440p is fair enough for me (and i'm a pro owner).
there will be a very better version on PS5 and probably as a free patch, don't worry.
I actually agree with you on this, focusing on the base version is the way to go.
The second part is what I take issue with. The PS5 won't be free. Waiting 9 months and spending 400~500 bucks shouldn't be an acceptable answer to "I wish my machine had better support".
I remember when people weren't impressed by the visuals from the second Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer when we first got a look at Arthur Morgan and the rest of the gang. It's best to just wait until we've gotten our hands on the game because Youtube doesn't do those clips any justice even though it still looks really good.
Here are some people who played the game had to say about its visuals.
Every game will be subjective for what art style people prefer.

They said in the video, the motion blur is a big improvement compared to previous ND games.
As it should be with any game that want to be on consoles.
What happens if you can see the fake very well? :)
It should be interesting to see this game on PS4Pro in the context after Death Stranding! Decima does a lot differently than ND engine actually - I am curious which results people could end up prefering for IQ or how lighting is handled (baked vs. Dynamic primarily).
The reason would also be an exclusive only for PlayStation. So better optimization is possible.
I can't wait to play The Last of Us Remastered on Pro. It's 1800p60, right? Only played it on the PS3 and the vanilla PS4, and I still think it looks fantastic.
Than the faking is not well done. Nintendo's Mario Galaxy running on a 480p resolution is more prettier than a lot of HD games of that era and the same could be said for Zelda skyward sword. Perception matters way more than technical achievements.
Uncharted 4/LL has some of the best IQ in 4K of almost any game I've ever seen, without typical checkerboarding artifacts, so I trust them on this one, game's gonna be stunning

Yes, either 1800p/60 FPS or native 4K/30 FPS.
Yeah, not just the image quality. Things like the refined animation blending, indirect lighting, mo-cap enhancements over the years etc all make it look like a notable step-up from TLL/UC4.

He was impressed with the quality, yeah, but honestly it seems like you're interjecting your own opinion here with the comparison. He didn't say or hint which one he favored either way.
Move on from what exactly? My opinion? I just responded to some one and get ganged on by people saying how wrong I am just because some one doesn't share same opinion on their precious exclusive and that started derailing the thread. Also I respect digital foundry guys a lot but I am basing my opinion on what I saw.
My last post on this topic. Feel free to discuss in ot if you want .
Almost wish this was a cross gen launch title for ps4/ps5 like Halo infinite will be Xbox . I'll be there day one, and hopefully my 2nd play through will be on ps5 launch with just an "update with ps5 enhancements " instead of having to double dip again.
Huh? Subjective? Even just picking one thing I listed. Clouds. RDR2 has volumetric clouds and fully dynamic weather system. It has the best cloud system in a video game (atleast till MS Flight simulator releases) TLOU2 uses a skybox.
No it's not disagreeable or subjective.
We both see it differently. You think he wasn't explicit enough, and I took his comparison as an informed opinion.

It's subjective because outside of being an opinion based argument, we have only glimpsed a few seconds of TLoU 2's snow tech and if it has different weathers, which won't be dynamic owing to the game's more linear story-focused nature. You also cited 'atmosphere' which is a highly contentious and subjective term. You're comparing the entirety of RDR2 with the few minutes of TLoU 2 we have, and even then its subjective which does 'atmosphere' better at this point.
"RDR2 has a very similar opening but the level of detail is ridiculously high".
I think its easy to infer that he's talking about the level of detail being ridiculously high in a comparison between RDR2's opening and the similar TLoU 2 segment being compared, in favor of TLoU 2.
I hope the input lag is adequately low. Locking the framerate to 30 for TLOU: Remastered caused it to have a crazy amount of input lag... but maybe it was just that port of the game and not the engine? Haven't played Uncharted 4 so Idk how good that feels at 30 fps.
Naughty dog have said on the past they did an uncharted 4 patch that was 4kcb but it didn't look eat due to how their engines post process pipeline works so they scrapped it and went native 1440p which looked better.
This is the reason the uc4 Pro patch wasn't available at launch.
I don't think he was explicit at all, intentionally so.
That is my interpretation though, we'll see what they say when they post here though.
My issue with 1440p is that God of War and H:ZD both ran at 4K CBR at an almost locked 30 FPS and looked absolutely astonishing. The image quality was superb.
Link?
I tend to prefer the kind of temporal injection used by Insomniac and Bluepoint, if possible. Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy still look a little soft, in my opinion, and would definitely benefit from the sharp image you get through that technique.
