This is interesting to me , seeing it in a graph like that. I mean, that's not how it looks for me, the pro lightweight mode was rock solid and the pro detail mode was just awful for dropping frames, yet this graph shows it's hovering 29-30 fps the whole time. Hopefully the frame pacing gets tightened up with the day 1 patch and I don't have to wait until December to make the admittedly better looking pro mode run without so many issues

The only version that looks bad is the XB1 version. Everyone should be fine, PS4 or Pro. But yeah, the XB1 version isn't looking too hot.

How do you guys take those pics like that? Is there a photo mode or something?
Amazing.

Been seeing quite a few gifs where the enemies/party seem to teleport into a position to allow an animation to occur eg in that Bandersnatch gif just after the parry
Pretty jarring
edit: looking at it again, maybe its the camera that is moving with no transition, making it look like the characters are teleporting

Well it's par for the course anything 1080P on PS4 will be 900P on Xbone usually.
So if PS4 drops below 1080P the Xbone will drop below 900P.
The game seems technically demanding and it's heading towards being one of the best looking games out there despite being open world. So it's no small feat that it achieves that with a relatively solid framerate and resolution while looking this good on these old consoles.

Some of them are just in-game shots using the Share button and the rest are the ones Prompto takes that you can view whenever you camp. You can unlock a skill trait for Prompto where he'll take shots during battle and as you level up his photography skills he'll take more and better shots and also gives you the option to select a high or low quality color exposure for the photos or leave it to Prompto's discretion.
The only downside to Prompto's shots is that they're of much lower quality than say a direct capture using the Share button.

I'm lost does it look and run good or not I've seen multiple people say it looks good but now you have a few saying it looks like trash. Previews said it ran alright now it runs bad which is it!? Does a large portion of gaf not know what they're talking about(possible), does it run like crap?, Are the graphics shit(lol) find out on the next episode FfGafBallZ
Exactly what I said when I played through the then final version at EGX on XB1.

Started a new game to fight thd bandersnatch (since it fails to respawn in my main save file for whatever reason). Mannaged to defeat him at lv 5. Warp strike is OP xD:https://twitter.com/SolidSora/status/797862129390915584
Been that way since Episode Duscae actually.

It seems for large enemies like the Bandersnatch you want to hit them with a CRUSH attack in a vulnerable area like the legs as soon as possible since it knocks them to the floor at which point your party will go crazy with the Deathblow skill if you purchased it resulting in a ton of damage.
This is really important since it can easily 1-2 shot you and your party so creating these opportunities where your party can deal a ton of damage without fear of reprisal seems like a good strategy to go for.
So far I've managed to do it with the Greatsword and the Dagger's O - delay - O attack.
I bought the counter skills for everyone but I've yet to see them use it as I'm not sure what exactly triggers them.

Holy shit that's cool! The animation and switch from parrying with the sword, swinging off the mandible and switching to magic and sword attacks is so fluid and smooth!
wut. I thought the general consensus was it looked and ran great on OG PS4 and PS4 Pro? I mean thats my take anyway and I'm playing on Pro with the High option turned on.
Guys, do yourselves a favour and go towards Insomnia gates. Around there you will find on the left side a path that leads to a clearing.
Go there and enjoy yourself to a FFXV sunrise. There is nothing else to do there other than that. And its just beautiful.
Time to fire up the demo again!
It looks good and really crisp on PS4, especially outside of combat where it shines in 1080p. On Xbox One it's noticeably blurry and below 1080p so I wouldn't say it looks good, but maybe it's acceptable in motion.

Does the Bandersnatch drop anything?
Thinking of fighting him at a low level in the full game. Though I won't be playing that on Easy, so it might not be feasible.

What is that moving about in the background?
Day/night cycle looks to have a lot more gradients than I expected. Hope rain occurs in every zone, and there's a cheat to have it enabled all the time
lol it's a dual horn that's roaming the area.
And damn Gladio couldn't stand still, ruined my shot.
Perhaps it's because I'm not easily impressed.
Someone people have been waiting for this game for a long time so...
The music, dialogue, IQ... none of it is great for me. For a mainline FF game I guess I expected more. Last one I was around for Day 1 was FFXII so I dunno (I played FFXIII but that was way after release on the PS3).

Also pro tip = if you find a secondary weapon for your party members give it to them. Ignis = Polearms, Gladio = Shields, Prompto = Machines.
The reason for this is that it gives them more attacks and they can now link their combos together. So you'll see things like Ignis do a flurry with his daggers then immediately transition into a spear combo without pausing. Same with Prompto doing stuff like shooting someone then immediately pulling out the Bio Blaster and smashing them.
I have yet to find a shield for Gladio so I don't know if it's in the demo.
He drops an item and a bunch of experience.

Good good.
Side note: I think I can't tell what frame rate is now?? I was playing Infamous ss and I used the neon special on a bunch of cars and enemies and the game like slowed down for like 5 seconds...is that frame rate getting lower

Lol at it looking trash in any way.
I'm primarily a high end PC gamer and I'm very impressed by how the game looks, at least on PS4 and PS4 Pro. Of course people are free to disagree, but that's my opinion.
So these pictures look ugly and unimpressive to you?

I think it looks beautiful and looking at that Xbox pic above..I don't think that looks bad either honestly(of course I can see the difference between the two)

Scorpio patch coming or nah, I ain't playing the game like this.
edit: looking at this thread, seems like the PS4 ver. looks trash also ;(
Ok sure, Just Cause 3 looks better, I can "buy" that. But you referred to the PS4 version as "trash".
Could you please confirm whether those pictures are representative of "trash" graphics for an open world game, according to your standards?
Edit: Btw, I believe it completely destroys Just Cause 3 in terms of tech and overall graphics (animation, lighting, effects, performance etc)
Wan Hazmer showed footage of a newer build at an event last week and it had an updated main menu with animated characters and a Database section, guess this will be in the day 1 patch along with bugfixes.
Perhaps it's because I'm not easily impressed.

Are all your images from XB1? Cause that would explain the image quality issue you're having.
Here are a few shots from benzy on base PS4.
The PS4 version holds up really well.
This is all I could find on google

I don't think the game is that bad technically, but I can already see reviewers trashing it.
But It's a beautiful world to dive in and immerse yourself in, the art absolutely makes up for some technical shortcomings.
Just hope the frame pacing is fixed cause it ruins the game for no reason.

So I think I figured it out.
I've been getting into random battles and letting the team do all the work.
I've noticed that when it comes to aerial enemies they can have a bit of trouble. Prompto is the best against them due to all of his attacks being ranged.
Gladio can throw his sword and perhaps something with his shield as well when we get access to it and Ignis can throw his daggers and spear at airborne enemies.
Also it seems the counter skills activate when they get attacked sometimes. I noticed Prompto phase through a harpy (like Noctis' phase dodge) then he followed it up with a shot that did a lot more damage than his normal attacks.
Also Prompto with his Bio Blaster equipped can inflict poison on enemies. It can't kill them but it can deplete their HP to one. It actually is a good AOE attack since he spins around while using it spreading the poison everywhere around him.
I hope the party can get buffs like Haste and Protect, protect would be useful if it can prevent being one shotted by tougher enemies.

Those above PS4 screens look much better actually. Looks like the XBO IQ is not holding up well at all.
But what I meant was, I expected an FF game to be impressive. If I may rephrase, XBO looks trash, PS4 looks good enough to be aight (along with the Pro version).

The biggest graphical flaw of the game is imo the lack of texture filtering (very visible in the image above) on Xbox One and regular PS4 but other than that I don't see how it looks that much worse than other open-world games.

How does it look and run on a regular PS4? Decided not to go through all that trouble downloading the demo.

How does that run though? Last time I looked it up, I remember many saying JC3 ran poorly on PS4.

I played this demo for 2 hours straight the day it came out and afterwards, I deleted it because I just can't wait for the game itself.
Today I'm redownloading it because the thirst is real and I really need to play that game again.
