Uncharted 4: 2014/2015 Demos vs Final Game Graphics Comparison

Original 2014 media and 2015 demos compared with the final game! It's a fascinating insight into how the release game compared with "that" E3 2014 teaser, plus how the game was refined along the way.

We actually get upgrades instead of downgrades? I'm not used to this...

Naughty Dog is the easily the most respected game developer in the business today, and has been for quite some time!

Most of the fight in the Jungle Encounter is actually very easy to replicate. I was doing this exact same test today Digital Foundry.

The one enemy placement that I did find entirely different were the two guards having a conversation underneath a natural archway. These two are closer to the edge of the mountain rather than underneath the archway like in the demo, making it slightly different to drop down and attack after being spotted.

However, you can still jump off the rock and swing around to knock out the guard below, then steal his weapon and shoot the guard directly behind you. That is all identical to the demo.

Also, you can grab the first guard from behind cover and steal his gun fluidly, but more high grass was added to the final map, making it so drake crouches in this area and changes the animation.

when a game actually meet expectations.

Whoa. It's... like... the image quality actually... became better, rather than worse. I guess Ubisoft just has it backwards.

You forgot to mention that in the demo, the car's tire treads don't get clogged with mud.

God I love this game. It's been a blast to play!

Ubisoft should take a lesson from naughty dog.

Who came here after watching the ubisoft downgrades video?

[samkid]

Stop at 6:03... The difference is night and day...
Final game looks so much better !!

[HIvanH]

So much respect for Naughty Dog - the absolute passion, effort and attention to detail in their games is astonishing. Ubisoft, Activision, EA - take a lesson from them. They KEEP their promises of what they promote.

Thank Christ, the daily DF Uncharted video is up

Can't wait until tomorrow's

[XxUltimateGodzXx]

The game looks even better than e3.
Ubisoft are you watching this.

[lordioris]

Don't know about you guys, but I think the final game looks absolutely fenomenal, even better than the demos.

[ubermensch]

It is not a downgrade but, instead it is an upgrade to the game.We can trust Naughty Dog.

[CB-ll]

They toned some things down while bringing some things up, & they look to be nice trade offs. This is weird, im used to seeing my hopes & dreams shatter. Why the fuck cant more companies do this?

[GrimAbstract]

Wait, a game that actually looks better than what they showed at e3?! I'm so use to being deceived, what a nice change :D

[FantasyNero]

And it's finally coming on PC in 2022 😊💗
i will keep my comment as a memory, thank you Digital Foundry for amazing Video i watched it back in 2016 and in 2021 again!

ND know how to fully utilise and squeeze every last drop out of their devkits. Even on the PS3 the visual quality in all the uncharted games and The Last of Us are the pinnacle of graphical fidelity compared to a lot of other big titles games, Battlefield, CoD, Assassins Creed. They are 100% sufficient with their software due to working with it so much. They know how to make a game.

It’s crazy to think that a game studio would upgrade their game after a trailer/teaser instead of tank it’s quality
