Frankly mate, I couldn't give a fuck about "downgrades". Who cares. The games still look great, and in 5 years we'll have games that look even better.
It's not like a trailer is a legally binding contract which says a game MUST ALWAYS LOOK THIS GOOD and if not they're BREAKING THE LAW!!!
An early trailer is usually overpolished because the game's current build looks NOTHING like that, and so when you approach release you begin to get a realistic view of what the game will actually look like.

Those people are going to be eating more crow when the exact same gameplay (not cutscene) segments are compared and look 95% the same, in some places worse, in some places better. Case in point.
As DF themselves point out, the final game compared to the demo actually saw several improvements in lighting, motion blur, character detail etc.

It does say "CAPTURED FROM PS4 PRO" in the lower right corner, so hopefully!
Doesn't mean that B-roll they recorded was as heavily rehearsed or in a specific area that allowed them to do so as the E3 one.
Good, I hate crafting! At least I won't have to do quite as much of it this time around then.
It doesn't need to have anything to do with entitlement. Games get praised when the visuals improve, and there's disappointment when the visuals are perceived to have gotten worse. It can be an innocuous observation for a game you're still excited about.
Zombie dogs though. You could shoot a toddler zombie and no one would bat an eye.
Can you link me to the DF video where they specifically lie to themse- I mean "confirm" that the reveal trailer from e3 2014 was surpassed in graphical fidelity by the final game?
Not it's no the same at all. The E3 demo was basically a vertical slice, b-roll footage is not.
well said! People don't seem to realise that the initial reveal is mere a vision the devs have when development begins. When the final product looks slight different, people scream downgrade.
As I said, the initial reveal is what devs work towards and of course it will look different once fully adjusted to the respective hardware. There are never any promises, statements, declaration "what you see here, is what you get"
... not really? The multiplayer was amazing. And I said it wasn't a dealbreaker lol
My hype is definitely lower than it was though.
I guess overall it's still a bit hard to judge because some of the most impressive moments from the demo weren't replicated.
Like in this case how Ellie's melee animation perfectly fits the dynamically stunned enemy. Will have to wait and see on that.
Are we talking about the gameplay reveal or the first E3 teaser? cause the teaser ran at 60fps & the final game 30fps.
No point in doing so, you already made up your mind. So whatever. lol
The animation is the same it's the way how it's played that look it more sloppy .
Compare to E3 trailer it look the same but it don't have to dodging to make it look long sequence.
I always love how they have no idea how much lighting changes the way something looks. Though it's funny when after release sites like DF go in and point out how it's in fact been improved if anything. Spidey PS4 being the most funny example of this.
The animations still look great in the new footage but that feel of "is this really gameplay?" from the demo is not there.I guess overall it's still a bit hard to judge because some of the most impressive moments from the demo weren't replicated.

I'm not gonna go into the downgrade talk, especially because I haven't analysed and compared the videos in detail.
But I gotta say I was amazingly impressed with E3 trailer, and not impressed with previews. Doesn't look beyond RDR2 or Uncharted and looks too similar to the first game which while I kinda enjoyed got tiring by the end.

I'm sure this is going to be amazing, but just saw there will be no factions....so that has hurt my hype immensely.
For starters, there is no way to know for sure how your game will look when it ships in terms of fidelity. Development is a balancing act. As you build out your systems and features you're constantly trying to manage your frame budget, which can be impacted by plenty of things that aren't tied to visuals.
I've personally never seen a game get worse looking at either of the studios I've worked at. MODERN WARFARE seems to look better with each build. There are artistic changes made at times which will impact a map or level's appearance, but differences =/= downgrades.
In-Engine trailers or even real-time rendered cutscenes tend to look better than moment-to-moment gameplay because a lot of the time they use higher LOD profiles and have bespoke lighting setups that ensure the game looks best. All resources are aligned to make sure whatever the camera is facing looks great. If you were to break camera during one of those UC4 cutscenes and point it in the other direction you may be surprised by what you find (my guess, I haven't worked at ND).
The enemy seems to jolt into position to get stabbed in the neck. I don't remember a twitchy transition like that in the entirety of the E3 2018 demo.

Oh shit reminds me of The Order 1886That gun animation though.
Dog sniffing? Don't know if I'll be able to play on hard without hunter vision like I did with the first game and listen mode.
Sony has reached that point where so many 1st party games getting this type of acclaim will always piss off many as well, which is weird.
Digital Foundry needed to come clean about 2 games already: Uncharted 4 and Spider-Man. I'm sure this one will be next.
Naughty Dog would never even plan this game for a hardware other than the PS4 over a year ago. It would make no sense to make it on a superior platform only to downgrade it later. Whats the point? By 2017 they had no idea how the PS5 would be and the PS4 was out for 5 years.
Wow it's looking fantastic.
Also happy they put all focus into the single player, dropping multiplayer.
