Cutscene and ingame graphics seamless confirmed UC4

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/01/30/charting-progress-the-history-of-animation-at-naughty-dog.aspx

At 20:40 mark during the video interview with ND's animation lead.

They admitted in previous UC games they had to use touched up pre rendered video to mask the transition but now everything is real time in UC4, Drake's ingame dirt, wet effect, specific type of equipment or costume etc will all be carried over to the follow up cutscene thus eliminating jarring graphics discrepancy and maintaining a seamless graphics transition all the way through.

That's it folks, there shall be no more doubts or debates over the authenticity of the Drake model and everything else. what you see is what you play. UC4 will take over The Order at end of 2015 as the new graphics king. But for now, let's mustache for 20th Feb.

Catching up with Crysis, a 7 year old game.

Grats.

I would be happier if it didn't have cutscene at all.

@uninspiredcup:

Second post and already the first signs of the salt avalanche that's going to crash into this thread. Luckily I brought my survival gear. Lol

lol, that's disturbingly accurate

99.9% of games have them, even dota.

And that's a tragedy.

Then again, I guess cutscenes are indeed the best part in Uncharted, since the base game is so fucking terrible. At least you don't have to shoot anything with its shitty gunplay mechanics during a cutscene.

Wow real time cut scenes, so revolutionary in 2015. BTW do you ever make a thread other than the ones related to graphics?

Aww George is butthurt again poor baby

It is revolutionary when your realtime cutscene graphics have reached to such a level. And the fact you keep coming back to my thread is good nuf for me:).

Thatll make it fun! Right? RIGHT?!

@gpuking:

That's because I've always liked Uncharted series and threads are there to comment.

What's more fun?

@gpuking: Games with decent mechanics?

I always find UC games very hands on, fluid, easy to control and not overly saturated with micro management or huds. A perfect blend of control, graphics, gameplay and story. I don't ask for more.

haven't they said this about every single one of the uncharteds?

@gpuking: Yeah, theres not much going on, but it looks pretty. Like most Sony games atm.

Post of the day! Since you mentioned it I can't unsee it, the similarities really are uncanny.

I sincerely don't care. Uncharted's presentation has always been terrific, but the plot told has been lame. It's a poor man's Indiana Jones plot about a glorified mass murderer at this point, with some generic characters/plot lines, with some respectable banter. I'm hoping they make a bit of a major shift in terms of the gameplay, which the initial demo showed. I'm not going to hope for the impossible and get more than two weapon system with regen health, but some more open combat encounters ala Tomb Raider 2013, better pacing than that shit show Uncharted 3, and in general some restraint when it comes to the setpieces, not to mention some fresher set pieces would help also.

Naughty Dog is capable of making some good shit: with Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us being some good shit. But, they also have a tendency to completely fucking underwhelm when it comes to the gameplay front as shown by UC1 and 3, Jak 2 and especially 3.

Right now the holiday games of this year look like the typical blockbuster types: Halo, Uncharted, and the likes of Ass Creed and CoD, I'm hoping we get some fresher games announced soon for the holiday. At the least the first half of this year looks to offer some strong stuff.

Really doesn't make it that impressive. I mean GoW 3 has an awesome Kratos model, but nobody called it graphics king because half the backgrounds looked like shit and you couldn't even move the freaking camera.

Same here unfortunately. Just look at that 3rd picture. Even in a cutscene with tons of focus blur, you can tell the background models are janky as hell.

And that's of course even assuming that the transitions are actually seamless and they don't sneak in Low-res Nathan and environments with camera tricks. I would not be surprised.

If you ask me, the demo was rather underwhelming graphically, and since the game is 3/4 of a year out at least, it's hardly even worth get excited about graphically. It's going to have to go up against The Boreder 1886, Witcher 3 ultra, Dreadnought, which will probably be out by it's release, and then eventually Star Citizen.

Honestly though, I'd be hard pressed to say it really even looks any better than Infamous: SS, at least when you consider the scale of each game. So I really don't see it holding any kind of crown.

if mgs4 could pull it off i don't see why modern games wouldn't, this is no biggie.

let the lems damage control begin, go!

@funsohng: Yet it's a tripple A franchise, stay butthurt.

@Vaasman: Yet GOW3 won best graphics on almost every website. It had gorgeous backrounds and UC4 looks stunning.

GoW3 won best graphics at SOME websites, and it only won because it released against dick. 2010 was a very boring year for graphics. No one else was even really competing for graphics, except maybe Halo: Reach, which of course fell short of it's expectations.

It was still utterly pulverized by games that came out years before it, and there's no real argument for that.

depends what you mean by "tripple A"?

@lostrib: UC2 and UC3 are both 9s on GS . Official AAA.

uh...I think you're missing a game, unless naughty dog is just really bad at counting

Missing 2 games really, since Golden Abyss is part of the franchise technically. Or should we just pretend that one doesn't exist?

@Vaasman: UC1 is AA. And ND didn't make GA. Regardless you can call it crap all you want. It's highly rated , sells great and is a success in every since of the word.

Which has nothing to do with what was being discussed

My spidey-sinces are tingling.

@Vaasman: It looked stunning period. No other review would say otherwise. It was one of the best looking games of the last generation.

Okay, but it wasn't graphics king by any stretch when it came out, which was my entire point, so who gives a shit?

@lostrib: It has everything with what's being discussed. Back under your bridge troll.

@Vaasman: Um yes it was, what are you arguing Crysis looked better on high end PC's? You said the game wasn't impressive. Anything that wins best graphics for that year is impressive.

no, it really doesn't. We were discussing in what way it is a triple A franchise. Nothing you said (besides from talking about review scores) had to do with that.

Man AM-Gamer sure likes to jump off topic quickly when he's losing

Now you're just entering full delusion territory. GoW3 isn't even close to Crysis, especially modded Crysis. I wouldn't even say it was as good graphically as several other previously released titles, like Metro 2033, Empire Total War, or World in Conflict. Especially considering it barely achieves 720p and 30fps. PC was monstrously ahead of consoles by the time GoW3 had released.

B......bu.......but Crysis looks better.

Nolan North DID play Penguin....

@Vaasman: Lmao wow this is funny. So your argument is that games on PCs that were 3x the cost of the PS3 are automatically more impressive due to framerate and resolution. Here's a secret Metro 2033 looked like Shit. The character models looked like plastic dolls and the animation on the monsters was so bad it looked like 60s pop cap animation. There is no debate pc hardware was more powerful at the time but that doesn't change the fact GOW 3 was one of the most impressive games of its time. The models were insane, the animation was great , the alpha effects and motion blur was outstanding. It looked incredibly. You like most hermits no Jack Shit about graphics. Just because a game has basic technical advantages due to the brute strength of the hardware doesn't make the game more impressive.

And just because you find something impressive, doesn't mean everyone else does (or should)

That's nice but it wasn't graphics king. What's not to get about that? You're in some kind of unhealthy derangement right now.

@Vaasman: just right now?

More so than usual, at any rate.
