Good. That controversy is fucking stupid

Out of the loop, what happened?

u/NOBLExGAMER Sep 02 '18

This what people are up in arms about. There is a very obvious difference between the two photos regardless of the puddles.

This image also came out showing there was less detail in some animations than previously showed, again there is a pretty obvious difference between the two.

Insomniac and it's employees have stated there was no downgrade and that it was just a lighting change and a removal of a puddle.

C'mon man, it's obvious the two pictures I posted are visually distinct and different from one another.

I don't know why people are getting so defensive about this, I'm not saying the game is going to be bad or calling for Insomniac to be crucified but to deny that there is any difference or blame it on "lighting" or "compression" is ridiculous.

Looking at your post history is really sad, it's like your dedicated to shitting on this game. You're the type of person these companies are mocking.

u/NOBLExGAMER Sep 02 '18

All I am doing is responding to people who haven't heard what was going on, no where in any of my post history do I ever say the game is going to be bad or insult Insomniac.

The real issue here is rabid fanaticism to the point of mocking and berating valid arguments.

u/Mr_Qwerty_Robot Sep 02 '18

Your whole page was you in the same thread repeating yourself. Say what you want to say and move on, you're the only one that seems to be rabid.

u/AnakinDrick Sep 02 '18

I said the same thing in that thread yesterday and was downvotes to shit.

u/NOBLExGAMER Sep 02 '18

Again all I did was respond to anyone who wanted to know what was going on.

u/Mr_Qwerty_Robot Sep 02 '18

Sure thing, chief.

If they just came out and said they had to make changes to optimize performance, nobody would care. But like... Don't lie about it. We know console games almost never look like their e3 showings (which are usually shown on $1200 gaming pcs)

1

u/mr_antman85 Sep 02 '18

It's not even $12K PCs, these developers have top tier hardware...but the thing is that we know what E3 is. It's where developers show their game in the perfect setting and they want people to be excited for the game (especially if it's a new IP). I don't get why this is still an issue. We all know that the game (for the most part) will look close to what they show so why make it an issue. Gamers just love to point out the negative. It's amazing how many posts of this have been uploaded here, just negative press about the game, but we as gamers are attracted to that. We can't speak about the positive, the negative creates drama and brings the clicks.

u/xStaabOnMyKnobx xStaabOnMyKnobx Sep 02 '18

Would you rather people just bleeted about positive things? Because knowing about bad things is more important than knowing about good things.

6

u/mr_antman85 Sep 02 '18

I simply said that gamers are addicted to the negative. Negative news travels faster than positive news. In plus, this isn't even news. Are we going to do side by side comparison photos of every game now, even though we know the final release won't reach the E3 showing? That's what I'm saying. The Cyberpunk 2077 release is gonna be nuts, so is RDR, Anthem, DMC5...this is gonna get to the point of being nonsensical.

u/Dallywack3r Sep 02 '18

Gamers are the most negative people I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with either in real life or online.

u/xStaabOnMyKnobx xStaabOnMyKnobx Sep 02 '18

You're probably just attracting your own sort of cynicism and poor attitude. It's called 'law of attraction'

u/Dallywack3r Sep 02 '18

Yeah it’s clearly my fault that the top posts on /r/Gaming are almost all hyper-negative circlejerking over some trivial shit nobody in their right minds would actually choose to care about. How dare I force the gaming population of reddit to circlejerk over how evil EA is ad nauseam.

u/xStaabOnMyKnobx xStaabOnMyKnobx Sep 02 '18

You can bitch to me about it or you can unsubscribe, and sadly for you we aren't accepting new patients at the moment so don't let the door hit you on the way out if youre so sick of the content.

u/Dallywack3r Sep 02 '18

So first you were like “You’re the one with the problem. Gamers aren’t negative!” And now you’re like “If you don’t like how negative we gamers are, get the fuck OUT of here!” Like, god forbid I just want to check and see if there’s a fucking Steam sale going on without getting inundated with a torrential downpour of needless negativity and petulant whining. Thank god this sub seems to stay relatively sane by comparison to /r/Gaming. I can’t imagine what it would be like listening to people bitch and moan about the size of Kratos’s fucking belly button or some shit.

u/xStaabOnMyKnobx xStaabOnMyKnobx Sep 02 '18

You seem to have some intellectual issues.

1) It's a sign of stupidity to frequent a sub you want to constantly criticize. My advice was sound, If you are sick of it remove it from your life

2) if you wanna check steam sales I hear going straight to the program can be just as fast ;)

The only people that care for shit like this are XBox fanboys anyway. And Sony exclusives have 90% looked the same or even better than their earlier trailers.

u/nikktheconqueerer Sep 02 '18

So I pointed out that the devs are lying about trivial stuff and your response is "doesn't matter unless ur an xbox fanboy"? Don't know why people can't just call out bad dev decisions as they see them. I'm getting Spiderman next week regardless, but I'm allowed to think console devs lying about their game at e3 isn't cool.

u/kraenk12 Sep 02 '18

They aren’t lying and if you had looked at all the comparison footage you’d know that.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '18

About graphics?? But... the PS4 has better graphics than the one.

I don't care how they want to spin it (different lighting, etc), why change the lighting in a scene like that if the bottom version is the end result? The top one looks objectively better.

I've seen some people try to say it's YouTube compression, but that's bullshit too since BOTH screenshots are from YouTube videos.

u/the_whining_beaver Sep 02 '18

Dude. What the fuck is wrong with you trolling both this and the Xbox subs adding fuel to fires whenever there’s something controversial going on!?

-1

u/falconbox falconbox Sep 02 '18

How is me being ever so slightly annoyed that a trailer from 2 years ago looks better in some areas than it does in 2018 count as trolling?

I've got the Digital Deluxe edition pre-ordered. Can't fucking wait to play the game because it looks really fun. But I'm allowed to not like the practice of beefing up the visuals 1000% for trailers.

u/kraenk12 Sep 02 '18

You do realise that there are even more scenes where the final game looks better right? That’s called game development and optimisation.

u/travworld Sep 02 '18

I'm not sure I can make much judgement from those 2 gifs. The lighting on the street could very well just be brighter in 2018 because of the time of day in the game.

Who knows, though. Looks like there's less AI cars on the street as well. It's hard to get annoyed about anything like this for me. Basically every game these days looks beefed up at E3. It's expected.

u/travworld Sep 02 '18

I think the majority of people don't get too hyped about graphics at E3 these days, though. Everybody knows there are always some downgrades by the time release comes.

Literally every game I see I'm like... let's see what it looks like launch day.

Obviously it's not great for studios to do it, however.

u/iamtheoneneo Sep 02 '18

So your annoyed at this but still preorder when there is no reason to?

So your happy to effectively sign up to games that haven't even come out yet and reviewed, because ya know they could be terrible?

But in the same breath are whining about lighting.....

Hilarious.

u/falconbox falconbox Sep 02 '18

I pre-ordered so I could get the dynamic theme and Spider-Man pin.

Also, reviews don't matter to me. If something interests me, I will get it. I don't care what other people think of a movie, game, etc.

u/squat251 squat251 Sep 02 '18

right, because it actually looks even better. The release version is far more realistic looking.
