How you figure that?

Probably someone said it but: Can you turn off the yellow outline generated by the tagging system!?

Checked it myself.

Yes you can turn that stuff off. I did.
Presumably it counts deaths and restarts as well? If you could keep an eye on it and see that it maintains accuracy that would be great.

Hmm maybe it's true.

Hmm yeah that is a good question cause I died quite a bit towards the later half of the game. So if it counts cutscenes in the timer then perhaps that's what made the discrepancies.
Side things to explore.

Nice! it was a sure thing but good to know.
Cool, how long is it roughly?

Yea, I'll check that out.
And these are for Ricky_R. Better to look at the images and get a feel for the IQ/clarity yourself then trust my memory for comparisons:

When you hop out the Jeep in that area, is there shit around there to do/look at??
Awesome. For the record, some guys on Beyond3D concluded that they think there's improved GI / lighting in some of the less open environments and levels, so that's another thing to consider.

I can only assume they are talking about some of the interiors. They look absolutely fantastic!
And really, this games graphics are absolutely phenomenal. The temporal AA hurts it a bit in the form of the artifacts that are sometimes noticeable but how clean the image is is absolutely crazy.
Edit: Yea, counter counts the time played properly. Doesnt reset after death. I tested by driving me, Sam and Sully over cliffs to multiple deaths.
You monster!
That's pretty funny. I think I'm going to try this for shits and giggles. Do they all fall out of the jeep during the death animation sequence, or do they stay in it?
Erm...certainly a lot better. Art is subjective but in terms of tech then Uncharted 4 is in another league.
I can already listen Sully screaming: "Are you out of your godamn mind? Nate! Nateeeeeee!"
Also, awesome screenshots man. The IQ is unbelievable.

I'm sure we'll get better quality comparison shots as from my understanding that segment is still in the game, but it's not like these in-game (not cut-scene) character models don't already look great.
These are unfuckingreal. Can't wait for next week.

hahha the deaths in Uncharted are always the funniest things ever. The violin music that plays along with Elena or Sully yelling "NAAAAATTE!" always cracks me up.

Yeah, I'm blown away. My Xbox buds will not believe that these shots are in game.
Good impressions. Can't wait. Gonna go see Cap America and then take Tuesday off for UC4.
Was debating if I could get a playthrough of 3 in before, but I don't want to burn myself out (plus, eeehh, 3 can kind of be skipped). Good two months for TPS's with this and Quantum Break. Fun times.
Greg isn't back for this right? How's the music been for any of the UC OST fans that have the game?

They stayed in the Jeep from the cliff I did it. It was hilarious because when I first jumped off the ramp, it triggered Nates happy "yeaaa!" before immediately transitioning to multiple screams.

Wow just wow. I just Beyond3D. VFX_Veteran who was banned in Neogaf for bashing Uncharted 4 and insulting everyone who proves that he was always wrong and not agreeing with him. He no longer can spread his poison here but keeps spreading in Beyond3d. I think his sole goal in existence is to downplay this game as if he was hired or sth.
He pretends (with many others) that gameplay and cutscens look different and that gameplay lacks SSS from cutscenes: https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/1911268/
I'd better not post this for him there: http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=198913070&postcount=199 otherwise he will do sth wrong to himself.

Ol VFX VET, lol. He's a super duper xbox fanboy. I remember dealing with his antics at Teamxbox back in the day. I see some things never change. Lol

Dang this is the most beautiful game ever. This is very impressive for ingame model but it looks like self shadowing is turned off and the SSS not as intense as the cutscenes.
PLASTICA-MAN

This scene is completely dark. More prominent shadowing and SSS happen when there is an intense source of light: http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=198913070&postcount=199
Don't fall in that trap.

It's because the Nathan Drake Collection statistics didn't count cutscenes.

So is that scene of Drake washed up on the beach still in the game? How's it hold up?

Non spoiler very lossy comparison pics between E3 2015 market and the final game but wow at the improvements:http://i.imgur.com/4vp8vet.jpg

Not sure how many times I have to repeat this but it's there but completely different really.

One thing I've noticed is that the game has a sharpening filter but that its not applied in the actual gameplay. Or not that I've noticed.
If you pull out your journal, it applies the filter to the hands and the book. When you put it away, you can see the sharpening filter fade out over the course of a second or so.

Another user posted it and it seemed likely but now we hear otherwise. I never personally checked, figured it was acurate.I don't have the game anymore till Tuesday launch so I can't test it.

In terms of graphics or just direction and staging?
SlasherJPC
Banned
Direction and staging more so. He still wakes up but everything else is different really.
The SSS appears to be exactly the same to me. You can even see greater examples of it in gameplay such as with Drake's ears here.
And subtly in this gameplay shot too.

Yes my friend. That is what I wanted to say. Look at the comparison pic I posted. The final game has better use of more natural SSS on characters and on the whole scene from foliage to umbrellas. And the models look better too.
Try to tell this to VFX-Veteran and his team of haters. In vain.

Guys it's the best looking game ever, don't worry.
Messed around with a few more encounters, this time with rope action. Swinging around a battle is fun as hell. His jump from the rope super falcon punch is way over powered though, that thing locks on to anyone nearby like a missile, physics be damned drake is going to punch him.

I am getting dizzy thoughts when I imagine the PS4 Neo. You will say that is already heaven but there are different levels in heaven.

For those who care about technical & performance analysis:
Game is practically locked 30 FPS all the time. The only times it dips are during big explosions for half a second to a second.
Either the hitching I mentioned at the beginning of the day was an incredibly rare occurrence that hasnt repeated itself since or my PS4 rebuilding the database fixed the issue.
Loading times are incredibly quick. My relative comparison here is TLOU remastered. The initial loading is much faster then TLOUs and of course, there's no loading afterwards.
Nothing else is coming to mind right now. If anyone has questions, I'd be happy to answer as I'm done playing for the day.
5 hours and 40 minutes playtime and I'm mid way through chapter 10.
