Thanks for tuning in everyone! As far as E3 trailers go - TLOU2's final retail build matches up very closely to what they first showed off. Practically all the animations are scaled down a bit - as they appear to have all been pre-rendered, but the environmental detail is pretty darn close. My final review is up next, and yes - I'll talk about the story (in a way that's spoiler free). I also have a few more comparisons, and a new documentary in the pipeline so stay tuned!!
Fake scripted gameplay presented as real gameplay should not be accepted. Let the public play a demo of the game if it's ready to show off, otherwise, stick with cutscenes clearly labelled as cutscenes.
Some corrections: 2:50 The Scars do sometimes patrol that area. 3:30 I have been able to trigger the dodge into the car animation with a wall while avoiding stalkers, but it was much clumsier because I am a clumsy player. I think you need to be running to slam into the surface. 3:35 Ellie will perform the animation where she grabs a slain enemy’s melee weapon from midair if she kills said enemies with melee attacks when she has no melee weapon in her inventory. (Not counting her knife) 7:58 Ellie’s hand needs to be bloody to leave bloody handprints on surfaces. 8:30 It is possible to unlock the craft explosive arrow skill by this point on your first playthrough. I played on Survivor and still had enough pills to upgrade to it during my first run. I took out the out the three Seraphites lynching the Wolf at the start of this section with one, before they get to gut him. (And no it is not possible to save the Wolf or kill him ourselves.) 10:10 I was able to replicate the Brute smashing shelves and windows, as well as knocking items off of shelves. But getting him to throw me through one of the windows took forever. I had to play over and over again in _Encounters_ mode in Very Light mode to get him to throw me through that exact glass panel. It seems like he’s programmed not to attempt to grab until after three or four swings and most of the time the throws just slam me to the floor right in front of him. He tends to throw Ellie towards where her back is facing. In Survivor Mode, I just cannot dodge consistently, and still haven’t learned the timing and trick to it. 10:40 If you wound the brute enough to make him collapse to his knees and choose to execute him with the same kukri machete from the trailer, the exact same animation will play, but not the same camera angles which will remain in player control.
One last thing When it comes to the “dodge slam into a wall animation”. It may have actually existed at some point during development, but was takeen Out for gameplay reasons. Think about how many times you could have been animation locked while trying to avoid a clicker when in a tight room. I don’t know. Just a thought.
The disarming animation happens when you yourself don't have a melee weapon and the enemy does or when you break yours when hitting someone and it brakes down before the final blow edit: I guess randomness is involved too
Happened to me once my whole playthrough. Executions, twice, maybe three times, thrown over a counter once, dragged out from underneath vehicles twice (once on purpose to see if it would work)
I was surprised at how smart the enemy AI still was for the retail version. Anyone else think the game was beautiful, gameplay AND story?? Right now I feel like the only one who liked it :/
DogWrld damn just let people enjoy it. If you like it, you like it, if you don't then you don't. Jesus Christ I don't get why people get so frustrated and want to fight with each other. Just hold your own opinion...
7:57 Bloody hand leaving a print didn't work on your retail clip because she touched it with the wrong hands. In the E3 she removed the arrow with her left hand and got it blood stained(then placed the same left hand on the cabinet). In the retail clip, she removed it with her right hand and placed her left hand on the cabinet. You should have re-positioned yourself to place your right hand instead
Cut The Crap yeah, the only problem is that there are some mistakes in his video and he apparently deletes popular comments where people point out this.
@@CrusardModding Another detail I thought was pretty cool was that, when using explosive arrows against an enemy or groups of people closed together, some of their guts get stuck on the ceiling and then fall down a few seconds after. I found that funny actually 😂
I get the feeling some of the volumetric lighting, fog, and reactive details like the fire shooting sparks were just a bit too heavy to fully integrate on vanilla ps4 which probably dragged down what they could feature on ps4 pro. I'm hoping they patch this stuff back in when it runs on PS5. Frankly my mind is still blown how good it looks and plays on my launch ps4. I think we all knew that demo had to be embellished, what's more surprising is that it wasn't much of an exaggeration compared to the final product.

The game still looks incredibly good. Even more considering it runs somewhat fluent on a normal PS 4, eventough I heard some people having massive frame drops. Some scenes are lit very well and Naughty Dogs lighting system is start of the art.
My ps4 is hot garbage, it sounds like a jet engine the second you turn it on with no game in it and it crashed quite frequently on anygame. Throughout my play through I had one framedrop glitch where my framerate was locked at 30fps that got reset and fixed as soon as I died and my console only crashed twice.
@@jeremy-ws1rb I don't think they will remastered the game since there are so many negativity spread throughout the internet. I do hope to see dlc or part 3 to explain the ending.
Your attention to detail, camera positions, and the cuts between full and split screens is phenomenal. Brilliant comparison work! This channel dazzles with complex editing and concise scripts. What stands out to me now are the similarities over the differences, how the move from demo to game is a relative hop compared to the huge jumps in the last generation. At no point did I feel let down. The gameplay felt on par with what we’d seen, and I was astounded by it. When I reached this forest parking garage, I felt that rush of familiarity and a bit of 20/20 hindsight during my first play-through, knowing what was in store. Brilliant game, brilliant comparison.
What impressed me most was the enemies facial expressions, they looked incredible in the E3 trailer but unfortunately have been toned down considerably in the final build.
The E3 version seems a lot richer and vibrant than the retail one. The contrast and lightening also is more prominent on the E3 footage. The final version looks great, but not as good as the E3 version.
@@prettzx hahaha RIGHT! They ALWAYS look better at E3, I can't wait until next gen(or maybe the one after) Where the games look good enough that they won't have to fake the graphics, and they'll have to rely on the GAME and the gameplay to sell it to us
@@Nick930 I never said it would. Changes happen ofcourse, item placements, artistic changes etc but graphically I absolutely think this was running on PS5 specs. Imo the thing that gives it away the most is the lighting.
Millionrare well if you shoot any guy, no matter if they are a brute, in the head, they’re dead. The whole concept of the fight with the brute is all in your hands, either have an interesting scuffle or just kill him. It’s up to you if it’s anticlimactic.
The FILM GRAIN is unbearable, switching to photo mode and dropping the film grain to 0 shows how eye popping the game could have been. Needs a PATCH ASAP to atleast give us the option to remove this mess
I believe the ps5 release will probably add some more of the effects found on the e3 trailer. They probably had to reduce some shaders for the ps4 to make it run as smooth as possible, particularly for the non pro version.
i literally ran away from the last brute in this fight just to get enough time to change ammo and then blew the guy out... i was tense and this was a very brutal ending to a fight this game is an absolute masterpiece, even with the controversial around the story from part of the players
Wow i came in early, cant wait to finish the video! Edit: amazing video nice to see the 2 year difference between a more cinematic 2018 reveal and a more gameplay focused 2020 retail release.
What did you perfere i perfere the more cinematic one how ellie puches herself onto the car and how the big dude slams the thing with his hammer VERY NICE
Dr. Loomis Agree a remaster isn’t necessary look at the Xbox Series X for example full backwards capability with smart Delivery giving Xbox One,360 and OG Xbox games 4K
They did remaster of the 1st game because it came in the end of PS3 cycle and the PS4 didn't have backwards capability. PS5 will have backwards capability so they won't be spending time and money to make a remaster. Maybe just a patch or something
While yes, there was a downgrade, like every final product compared to the E3 trailer, it's not nearly as egregious as other games. It's still a phenomenal looking game, and I don't at all feel decieved in this case
@@harvey8813 agree, maybe they downgrade some parts because i think some of those good graphics like the enemy and the Ai were already go over the limit in PS4
I knew that E3 demo was way to good to be true, but I am shocked at how close the retail version actually is. 👌🏻 I’m loving the game right now. Just ordered the 48” LG CX OLED to finish it.
Then what is the importance of showing the demo when they cant deliver to us. I hate every develovers doing same thing of trickery just to sell the game . How close you say, it should have been same in the first place.
@@prashanttudu8788 it looks so much better in retail version when you play with HDR enabled - which is missing here in that comparison video. Trust me, it gets much closer to the E3 material that way because the lighting looks so much better.
Hello! So I just find your channel for some days ago when I was looking for a proffetional comparison between The Last of Us Part 1 [Remake] vs Remastered. And! Holly Mother. This direct comparison videos are exactly as you should do when you are making this kind of videos.
The Ostrich i mean you can say what you want about Part II, it’s supposed to be a very controversial experience but the the original was a damn masterpiece like no other. It more than deserved it’s praise at the time of release.
Abe The Egyptian Pharaoh I can’t see how this statement is true. The story is only one aspect of a game. Admittedly a large one in this case, but it improves in every way outside the story so it’s hardly this garbage game people make it out to be
There's something really off about the shadows and lighting in the retail. It looks like the characters aren't part of the world. It's like they have a different lighting or something
I noticed that but only in gameplay not in cutscenes it also just might be an issue based on the brightness calibration instructions being quite vague, I kept changing them while I played cause I didn’t know what was right
Just letting you know: that exact execution animation from the demo IS still in the game. I was able to replicate it and I have footage of it. It doesn't look quite as good due to it being pre rendered in the demo but it's still the same animation.
Revisiting this after Grounded II, the behind-the-scenes documentary for the game. Your video is an in-depth analysis and presented very well. I really don't have any constructive feedback, as you painstakingly tried to recreate these moments; and clearly presented other material from the game when you couldn't, but it was still possible. I think a lot of people will watch this and draw natural conclusions about one being better than the other. I don't think this is always a matter of ambition and failure. Things like increasing the view distance, reducing fog, and changing lighting have substantial gameplay impacts more than just art direction. Playing this for the first time, and realizing they really weren't lying about most of this; really saved them in my mind from any kind of critical commentary I could make on the individual changes. Some of this truly created generational leaps in terms of what was possible in a video game.
I loved TLOU part 2! I hope they make a third instalment! They could do so much with this series now! The final product still looked amazing, Only slightly less than the demo.
I've watched a full play through of this game and enjoyed watching and i have started to play and i like it! I guess if your a casual gamer like me its a great game and i like the story, i did also play the first game and loved that too!
@@blakejohnson7373 i see you didnt play the game yet becouse there mad that they had to play with abby If you didnt know its joels killer and youre saying that im bitching and moaning chut the f*ck up(i blurd the u in f*ck becouse no offense)
Blake Johnson no, thats false. theyre pissed because the writing is shitty & they ignored key aspects of joels character for shitty writing. youre either delusional or mentally defunct if you think people are just pissed because joel died. fun fact-most people expected him to die also the false advertising pissed a lot of people off. get your facts straight kid
I dunno if it's a bug but it's also worth mentioning that when enemies look for you under cars when they get to your car you don't get the search animation, they'll either immediately know you're under and pull you out or call their buddies or the search animation will start playing but they'll snap out of it half way through and grab you, leaving you no time to take them out like in the demo. But again it might be a bug that can be fixed. Oh and i also forgot to mention that if you aim your weapon from under a car or a bed etc... they'll detect you immediately even from a distance.
In the e3 demo the environments, ellie and the npcs feel so human and real, controlling ellie looks surreal, almost like forgetting shes a pixel character The one detail that you feel your character is in that world, just look when ellie places her hand on the blue truck, just look at that!!!! I thought that wasnt possible, all this e3 demo... I had my doubts of if it was legit, i mean i dont even think that could be possible on the ps5, its too much, way too much, we are still not there to reach that level in the technology of videogames We'll get there in a future, when you totally forget you are controlling a character and the ai outsmarts you, at the level you get scared
Yeah I can confirm that the combat animations are random and it’s still there but it’s random it just happened to me twice 1 as Ellie but the other is from the new playable character I’m playing encounters mode just to test the AI and see what other animation is available
@@shuteye2702 they should make something like combat mode where there is only combat scenarios like a arena game I'd buy that cause they gameplay looks good but I don't wanna go through the story.
@@Spider10v I guess you are right about the sad ending. Watching many good ending makes me feel tired but thing is it also makes people angry include me. Btw are you planning capture the animation and upload it to youtube.
Good video, just a suggestion, you need to differentiate the background color in e3_2018 and retail_2020. Maybe one is red and the other is blue. So I can easily tell which one is e3 and which one is retail, when it's not a split screen. Great video though, while other youtubers focus on storyline, you focus on the ad, expectation vs reality.
You can get the explosive tip arrow at this point in the campaign if you get the training manual from the safe in the building with the workbench where you can get ambushed by WLF deserters. I’m sure someone has mentioned that already though.
Im playing the last of us 2 in hdr and the e3 clips lighting looks almost identical to the retail version with hdr on. They prolly just showed hdr footage at e3
To me I think the game on my HDR 4K TV looks better than E3. The grass looks crisper and more vibrant, leaves seem to be sharper and have more detail. I have a PS4 Pro and a 4K HDR TV and side by side, the E3 demo doesn't look as good as the real game.
A lot of the moments you couldn’t replicate like the shelving falling after pinning an enemy against it - can absolutely happen. i spent a lot of time playing around with the combat & it’s amazing what they’ve done. I’ve gotten tackled into a store freezer by a runner, it broke the glass and i was halfway inside of it fighting him off of me .. Straight up movie tier in real time. Killer game
This video is perfect . I was making these same comparisons while going through this area. But I think everyone already knew that most of those animations and Enemy Behavior were to good to be true in the Gameplay trailer.
Nah, that's not how these things work. The E3 build was probably completely centered around that one area, so they poured lots of things into it and added scripted animations or prerendered features. It's usually what they aim for with the finished game, but during development most of those features get scrapped in favour of optimising the experience.
@@toxicrhythmz3718 That doesn't even make sense. Even if it were a PC, that doesn't mean that all these animations and effects just come out of nowhere just because it is a PC.
I mean theirs a chance that E3 was made on a early version of ps5 or high power computer they had to compress and lower graphical quality for ps4 however so if this was to launch on ps5 im sure it will look as good or even better as the e3 trailer
unfortunately no. devs will build entire separate sections of the game just for E3, like this one. all of that in the demo could technically be achieved in the PS5, possibly, but considering this was for E3 and almost every game company does this, it’s definitely just a scripted build.
Those enemies do in fact patrol down the ramp in the first scar encounter, if you wait long enough. I took 10-15 mins to clear the lower area, and as I was about to go up the ramp my listen sense showed me someone coming down the ramp into the lower forested area. This happened twice until I killed the final woman just at the foot of the ramp.
Between the graphics and AI intelligence, I'm impressed, and honestly the story line isn't as bad as I thought it would be when the leaks came out, although this game will leave you feeling depressed very similar to how real revenge will. All in all, I personally think they knocked this out of the park and still "feels" like a last of us theme, just expanded on in a greater way. This game has some seriously amazing moments.
like when you play psychopath ellie, like when she has sex, when she kills joel extremely violently and sadisticaly , when jessie dies, when she smashes dinas face, and ellies face? or when ellie let's her leave after ellie kills countless people. It's fine , you are simple minded, not hard to please.
I disagree tbh. Spoilers below. Revenge isn’t slaughtering countless soldiers and rival factions, to then go on and see your father figure in a vision (whilst you are in a heated fist fight, by the way. I don’t think anyone at Naughty Dog understands how fighting or adrenaline rushed work) and decide not to murder his killer. Oh, don’t forget this is also after this person killed your friend and almost slitted your pregnant lover’s throat, with your entire journey being spurred on by Joel’s head being beaten in with a golf club, Tommy beaten with a gun, and some guy kicking your teeth in. I don’t mind the game but the story and playing half the game as one of the most hated and least relatable main characters in any game is just bafflingly terrible.
10:20 gosh since when I watched the E3 gameplay i thought this feature wouldn't come to the game, but it actually did came to the game and I'm very surprised
I really love this game. I was disappointed when I got to that section of the game and realized that it wasn't as good as the E3 trailer, but I'm still very impressed by how closely they managed to replicate a lot of what we saw. And the combat scenarios are cinematic enough to keep me coming back to them for the adrenaline rush of running for my life, then diving under the truck and keeping my gun ready for anyone that approaches it to look underneath. I performed a lot of these same experiments myself when the game first came out, because I couldn't help myself. My results were roughly the same, but this video showed a few things I didn't test, but was still curious about :)
Great comparison. Overall, (after playing myself) I was thoroughly impressed. Most games that come out nowadays aren’t even in the same league as their E3 trailers.
Hi!! I have an update! I haven't tried on my ps4 yet, but on the ps5, as long as you have a machete equipped (any type works, doesn't have to be from the gp trailer), the same mini cutscene from the trailer will play. it plays at a different angle that shows ellie's expression. super dope
Some people hated the story, but everyone loved the gameplay, the scenery and the game itself. This game is a true masterpiece. Personally, I like the story. Completed the game with over 40+ hours of gameplay.
You actually know how much work they have to do to make a ps5 version?? Let alone a remastered version, that is already complicated....besides they are going forward with a new project, so no

The game still looks incredibly good. Even more considering it runs somewhat fluent on a normal PS 4, eventough I heard some people having massive frame drops. Some scenes are lit very well and Naughty Dogs lighting system is start of the art.
I had only one, in this section only and we CAN craft explosive arrows during this part of the game, i did the store section exactly like the e3 demo.
The lighting combined with HDR on a good 4K TV is absolutely incredible (provided your tv has local dimming/is an OLED)
Never experienced frame drops during the game and i play on the first playstation 4
I play on a normal PS4 and never had a frame drop or any issues at all except for a little bug
My ps4 is hot garbage, it sounds like a jet engine the second you turn it on with no game in it and it crashed quite frequently on anygame. Throughout my play through I had one framedrop glitch where my framerate was locked at 30fps that got reset and fixed as soon as I died and my console only crashed twice.
Although, the retail version of the game doesn't look as good as E3 demo but the details still presented beautifully.
Maybe the e3 details is for ps5
@9ine9ine1ne stoopid I never trust demo.
@@jeremy-ws1rb I don't think they will remastered the game since there are so many negativity spread throughout the internet. I do hope to see dlc or part 3 to explain the ending.
@@jeremy-ws1rb this game is a Downgrade
@9ine9ine1ne stoopid No shit Sherlock
Your attention to detail, camera positions, and the cuts between full and split screens is phenomenal. Brilliant comparison work! This channel dazzles with complex editing and concise scripts.
What stands out to me now are the similarities over the differences, how the move from demo to game is a relative hop compared to the huge jumps in the last generation. At no point did I feel let down. The gameplay felt on par with what we’d seen, and I was astounded by it. When I reached this forest parking garage, I felt that rush of familiarity and a bit of 20/20 hindsight during my first play-through, knowing what was in store. Brilliant game, brilliant comparison.
I love these videos great work
I love the games great work xD
What impressed me most was the enemies facial expressions, they looked incredible in the E3 trailer but unfortunately have been toned down considerably in the final build.
Idk I've seen a lot of really good ones but some are definitely not as good.
This video didn't show it well but there is still a lot of impressive facial animations when you're slashing people up
@@daevildude45 they feel like real people it's creepy sometimes
Im playing on a PS4 pro and the facial expressions and animations are amazing
The E3 version seems a lot richer and vibrant than the retail one. The contrast and lightening also is more prominent on the E3 footage.
The final version looks great, but not as good as the E3 version.
Maybe that's how it's gonna look on ps5, like the E3 version
prettzx naughty dog usually has the same graphics for their games shown in E3
your will see e3 version on ps5
@@prettzx hahaha RIGHT! They ALWAYS look better at E3, I can't wait until next gen(or maybe the one after) Where the games look good enough that they won't have to fake the graphics, and they'll have to rely on the GAME and the gameplay to sell it to us
@@noone-zz6fe Your english is cute
We were totally unknowingly watching PS5 gameplay here.
The likely ps5 release of this same game will NOT look like the e3 demo.
@@Nick930 I never said it would. Changes happen ofcourse, item placements, artistic changes etc but graphically I absolutely think this was running on PS5 specs.

Everytime i watch one of these direct comparisons it always feel like listening to a story.. really love your detailed explanations
The FILM GRAIN is unbearable, switching to photo mode and dropping the film grain to 0 shows how eye popping the game could have been. Needs a PATCH ASAP to atleast give us the option to remove this mess
I think there's is an option to lower film grain in settings area
Robert Tillung i haven’t found any
@@RobertTillung No there isn't
I love film grain
It's so that the lack of detail in far off textures isn't noticeable like it was in the first game. Personal preference I guess at the end of the day
I believe the ps5 release will probably add some more of the effects found on the e3 trailer. They probably had to reduce some shaders for the ps4 to make it run as smooth as possible, particularly for the non pro version.
I really want a PS5 patch considering that GOT has one.
Unfortunaly no.
i literally ran away from the last brute in this fight just to get enough time to change ammo and then blew the guy out... i was tense and this was a very brutal ending to a fight
this game is an absolute masterpiece, even with the controversial around the story from part of the players
You blew the guy out lmao
3:43 night and day difference between combat. I’m not surprised in the slightest. E3 build looked too good to be real. Camera effects were incredible
Wow i came in early, cant wait to finish the video!
Edit: amazing video nice to see the 2 year difference between a more cinematic 2018 reveal and a more gameplay focused 2020 retail release.
Same!
Hell yeah!!!!
What did you perfere i perfere the more cinematic one how ellie puches herself onto the car and how the big dude slams the thing with his hammer VERY NICE
Imagine when it gets a remaster for the ps5 :o
Dr. Loomis Agree a remaster isn’t necessary look at the Xbox Series X for example full backwards capability with smart Delivery giving Xbox One,360 and OG Xbox games 4K
Dr. Loomis Facts! Pretty accurate
Dr. Loomis same bro
A remaster with different storyline, maybe taking out abby.
They did remaster of the 1st game because it came in the end of PS3 cycle and the PS4 didn't have backwards capability. PS5 will have backwards capability so they won't be spending time and money to make a remaster. Maybe just a patch or something
The effort you put into you’re videos! 👏🏽
Thanks for the content mate. My number one place for game reviews and comparisons.
I did make the enemies do that "she went into the gras" call
It was so cool and then i almost replicated the car scene
Yeah same here!
the game still has lens dirt, but it may be dependant on where the camera has physically been? it's definitely less noticable
Love these direct comparisons. Keep it up!
I love your videos it’s clear you put a lot of effort in to them
While yes, there was a downgrade, like every final product compared to the E3 trailer, it's not nearly as egregious as other games. It's still a phenomenal looking game, and I don't at all feel decieved in this case
They did it with the 1st game, so i expected the same
for this one, it's one of few rare cases where the difference between demo and retail is downgraded from very very good into very good
If retail kept E3's fire lighting, that level with the island on fire would've looked even crazier.
Ps4 wouldn’t be able to handle it though. That’s why I think there was so much downgrade. They did amazing with what they had and no one can deny that
@@harvey8813 agree, maybe they downgrade some parts because i think some of those good graphics like the enemy and the Ai were already go over the limit in PS4
this is the video I’ve been waiting to see since release 🙏🏼🔥
Love this channel! Really good content I hope he gets more exposure 😩
I knew that E3 demo was way to good to be true, but I am shocked at how close the retail version actually is. 👌🏻 I’m loving the game right now. Just ordered the 48” LG CX OLED to finish it.
Then what is the importance of showing the demo when they cant deliver to us. I hate every develovers doing same thing of trickery just to sell the game . How close you say, it should have been same in the first place.
@@prashanttudu8788 lol the b8ggest lie of all is that they showed joel and ellie like they were in a journey but they were actually flashbacks :((
@Dr. Loomis Doesn't make it "okay".
@@prashanttudu8788 it looks so much better in retail version when you play with HDR enabled - which is missing here in that comparison video. Trust me, it gets much closer to the E3 material that way because the lighting looks so much better.

Unlike @ Ubisoft games lol
Hello! So I just find your channel for some days ago when I was looking for a proffetional comparison between The Last of Us Part 1 [Remake] vs Remastered.
And! Holly Mother. This direct comparison videos are exactly as you should do when you are making this kind of videos.
Really good observations Nick, as usual. I need help, I'm addicted to your videos ! ;)
Take care mate !
Demo feels more alive, better reflections, character model etc...
Now it has 4.3 on metacritic. Years later everybody will say it was such an underrated game with awesome cinematic graphics for that time.
@The Ostrich who overrates this game now? Everyone is shitting it. People's memory tend to distort the actual reality due to nostalgy and time flies.
The Ostrich
The first game was amazing.
This sequel is just big pile of turd which has NOTHING to do with it’s predecessor.
The Ostrich i mean you can say what you want about Part II, it’s supposed to be a very controversial experience but the the original was a damn masterpiece like no other. It more than deserved it’s praise at the time of release.
TLOU 2 IS A MASTERPIECE
Abe The Egyptian Pharaoh I can’t see how this statement is true. The story is only one aspect of a game. Admittedly a large one in this case, but it improves in every way outside the story so it’s hardly this garbage game people make it out to be
Man this comparison wasn't easy to be made! Nice work.
Insane vid bro keep it up loved it
There's something really off about the shadows and lighting in the retail. It looks like the characters aren't part of the world. It's like they have a different lighting or something
True and have you notice that the characters looks like they are floating
I noticed that but only in gameplay not in cutscenes it also just might be an issue based on the brightness calibration instructions being quite vague, I kept changing them while I played cause I didn’t know what was right
Yeah mine looked amazing the entire way through, the lighting was incredible, but a lot of people overbrightened the game
I didnt like the brightness stuff in uncharted 4, does tlou2 has it?
S E On my TV the -1 luminosity was the best. 0 a little too bright and -2 too dark and loss of information. But I guess it depends on your screen
The fact that this look good on PS4 is definition of "optimized"
You hear it Cyberpunk fans
kkk this game doesn't have 1/4 of the details that CP have, and CP isn't a linear game

Why are your videos so good???? They are just soooo good!
The amount of effort you put into replicating the E3 demo in the final game is astounding, and it's why your comparison videos are hte best!
Just letting you know: that exact execution animation from the demo IS still in the game. I was able to replicate it and I have footage of it. It doesn't look quite as good due to it being pre rendered in the demo but it's still the same animation.
It’s on your channel?
When I played through this segment there were enemies in the parking garage. It all depends on how you play
Plus this guy played on an easy setting and the enemy are so different on easy. I played on hard and so many parts were incredibly cinematic
@@tehwinnerz5006 Yeah played on hard too
Revisiting this after Grounded II, the behind-the-scenes documentary for the game. Your video is an in-depth analysis and presented very well. I really don't have any constructive feedback, as you painstakingly tried to recreate these moments; and clearly presented other material from the game when you couldn't, but it was still possible. I think a lot of people will watch this and draw natural conclusions about one being better than the other. I don't think this is always a matter of ambition and failure. Things like increasing the view distance, reducing fog, and changing lighting have substantial gameplay impacts more than just art direction. Playing this for the first time, and realizing they really weren't lying about most of this; really saved them in my mind from any kind of critical commentary I could make on the individual changes. Some of this truly created generational leaps in terms of what was possible in a video game.
Nice video Nick!
I loved TLOU part 2! I hope they make a third instalment! They could do so much with this series now! The final product still looked amazing, Only slightly less than the demo.
I've watched a full play through of this game and enjoyed watching and i have started to play and i like it! I guess if your a casual gamer like me its a great game and i like the story, i did also play the first game and loved that too!

Blake Johnson no, thats false. theyre pissed because the writing is shitty & they ignored key aspects of joels character for shitty writing. youre either delusional or mentally defunct if you think people are just pissed because joel died. fun fact-most people expected him to die
also the false advertising pissed a lot of people off. get your facts straight kid
Excellent review of these graphics comparation
I dunno if it's a bug but it's also worth mentioning that when enemies look for you under cars when they get to your car you don't get the search animation, they'll either immediately know you're under and pull you out or call their buddies or the search animation will start playing but they'll snap out of it half way through and grab you, leaving you no time to take them out like in the demo. But again it might be a bug that can be fixed. Oh and i also forgot to mention that if you aim your weapon from under a car or a bed etc... they'll detect you immediately even from a distance.
If Naughty Dog unites with Rockstar Games it will be a masterpiece
Both of them already create masterpieces tho
I think they should partner with ubisoft Nd do the faces and Ubi does the environments
@@dr.subhashininarayan3308 lol ND did the environment much better than ubishit
@@dr.subhashininarayan3308 who tf would work with ubishit
In the e3 demo the environments, ellie and the npcs feel so human and real, controlling ellie looks surreal, almost like forgetting shes a pixel character
The one detail that you feel your character is in that world, just look when ellie places her hand on the blue truck, just look at that!!!! I thought that wasnt possible, all this e3 demo... I had my doubts of if it was legit, i mean i dont even think that could be possible on the ps5, its too much, way too much, we are still not there to reach that level in the technology of videogames
We'll get there in a future, when you totally forget you are controlling a character and the ai outsmarts you, at the level you get scared
Looking forward to it.😄
Very nice video format
Nice job on this video👍
Yeah I can confirm that the combat animations are random and it’s still there but it’s random it just happened to me twice 1 as Ellie but the other is from the new playable character
I’m playing encounters mode just to test the AI and see what other animation is available
Same. The story sucks but the gameplay is really fun especially when u get good at it
@@shuteye2702 they should make something like combat mode where there is only combat scenarios like a arena game I'd buy that cause they gameplay looks good but I don't wanna go through the story.
Brett Down if you played uncharted 4 there’s a mode called encounters which it’s just every fight scene from the game and they brought it here again
几丨几卂 tbh imo the story was fine but the ending sucks the only reason why I accept the ending it’s because of the ending wasn’t a happy ending
@@Spider10v I guess you are right about the sad ending. Watching many good ending makes me feel tired but thing is it also makes people angry include me.
Btw are you planning capture the animation and upload it to youtube.
The combat is so fluid and satisfying.
Good video, just a suggestion, you need to differentiate the background color in e3_2018 and retail_2020. Maybe one is red and the other is blue. So I can easily tell which one is e3 and which one is retail, when it's not a split screen. Great video though, while other youtubers focus on storyline, you focus on the ad, expectation vs reality.
Always enjoy your reviews...
The single best series on CZcams.
2$&@“months on a dub and ooooppppq was a good game hyuuu was
Still one of the best looking games ever. Graphics, animations, detail blows a lot of other games out the water
Ellie and Dina's cutscene does appear, but almost at the end of the game. It also shows much more after the kiss and what happened seconds later.
You can get the explosive tip arrow at this point in the campaign if you get the training manual from the safe in the building with the workbench where you can get ambushed by WLF deserters.
I’m sure someone has mentioned that already though.
Honestly, I'm impressed. Most games when released don't come this close to looking like their initial E3 reveal video.
Uncharted 4 looks better than the e3
@@nacho_a24 lmao no it doesn’t
Im playing the last of us 2 in hdr and the e3 clips lighting looks almost identical to the retail version with hdr on. They prolly just showed hdr footage at e3
Yeah HDR definitely looks a lot better in mine.
To me I think the game on my HDR 4K TV looks better than E3. The grass looks crisper and more vibrant, leaves seem to be sharper and have more detail.
I have a PS4 Pro and a 4K HDR TV and side by side, the E3 demo doesn't look as good as the real game.
Really?? Thank god i bought an hdr vizio just to play this game
@@kingzach74 Compression might be the reason why the E3 version doesn't look as detailed but yeah It does look good with HDR
A lot of the moments you couldn’t replicate like the shelving falling after pinning an enemy against it - can absolutely happen. i spent a lot of time playing around with the combat & it’s amazing what they’ve done. I’ve gotten tackled into a store freezer by a runner, it broke the glass and i was halfway inside of it fighting him off of me .. Straight up movie tier in real time. Killer game
This video is perfect . I was making these same comparisons while going through this area. But I think everyone already knew that most of those animations and Enemy Behavior were to good to be true in the Gameplay trailer.
The E3 footage is most likely being played on the PS5, there's literally no way the PS4 could handle the lighting shown and other details.
Nah, that's not how these things work. The E3 build was probably completely centered around that one area, so they poured lots of things into it and added scripted animations or prerendered features. It's usually what they aim for with the finished game, but during development most of those features get scrapped in favour of optimising the experience.
wammes Yup, you got it.
@@Omnicraze they might add extra things into the ps5 version i hope.
@@Omnicraze bullshit it was clearly running on a high end pc
@@toxicrhythmz3718 That doesn't even make sense. Even if it were a PC, that doesn't mean that all these animations and effects just come out of nowhere just because it is a PC.
I mean theirs a chance that E3 was made on a early version of ps5 or high power computer they had to compress and lower graphical quality for ps4 however so if this was to launch on ps5 im sure it will look as good or even better as the e3 trailer
Maybe I guess
i really hope so cus this version of the game looks way dum down hopefully this game makes it to pc and ps5 and looks just as good as the E3 version
unfortunately no. devs will build entire separate sections of the game just for E3, like this one. all of that in the demo could technically be achieved in the PS5, possibly, but considering this was for E3 and almost every game company does this, it’s definitely just a scripted build.
i cant see that happening, last of us remastered wasn't that much of an upgrade compared to the original imo
@@PerryAndrei course, because during that day they were still using windows 8 i think.
Those enemies do in fact patrol down the ramp in the first scar encounter, if you wait long enough. I took 10-15 mins to clear the lower area, and as I was about to go up the ramp my listen sense showed me someone coming down the ramp into the lower forested area. This happened twice until I killed the final woman just at the foot of the ramp.
Brilliant analysis!
Though I found some things in this video that WERE the same as the trailer they really did a great job in this game :)
Between the graphics and AI intelligence, I'm impressed, and honestly the story line isn't as bad as I thought it would be when the leaks came out, although this game will leave you feeling depressed very similar to how real revenge will. All in all, I personally think they knocked this out of the park and still "feels" like a last of us theme, just expanded on in a greater way. This game has some seriously amazing moments.
Woah. An actual opinion. Respect!
like when you play psychopath ellie, like when she has sex, when she kills joel extremely violently and sadisticaly , when jessie dies, when she smashes dinas face, and ellies face? or when ellie let's her leave after ellie kills countless people.
It's fine , you are simple minded, not hard to please.
Well said
Hahaha yeah okay dude whatever you say 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I disagree tbh. Spoilers below.
Revenge isn’t slaughtering countless soldiers and rival factions, to then go on and see your father figure in a vision (whilst you are in a heated fist fight, by the way. I don’t think anyone at Naughty Dog understands how fighting or adrenaline rushed work) and decide not to murder his killer. Oh, don’t forget this is also after this person killed your friend and almost slitted your pregnant lover’s throat, with your entire journey being spurred on by Joel’s head being beaten in with a golf club, Tommy beaten with a gun, and some guy kicking your teeth in. I don’t mind the game but the story and playing half the game as one of the most hated and least relatable main characters in any game is just bafflingly terrible.
6:54 i like how Ellie looks at the hostage, then the shooter then back at the hostage as if she's surprised they would kill their friend
I do wish that the some of the environments would be more interact-able, like when Ellie smashes into the car, but I still do love the final product.
Imagine PS5 looks exactly like the E3 demo!
*Cinematic aventure" I love that part
10:20 gosh since when I watched the E3 gameplay i thought this feature wouldn't come to the game, but it actually did came to the game and I'm very surprised
They did change that part where you jump off the highway.
Completely mirrored, but the first part is relatively the same.
I really love this game. I was disappointed when I got to that section of the game and realized that it wasn't as good as the E3 trailer, but I'm still very impressed by how closely they managed to replicate a lot of what we saw. And the combat scenarios are cinematic enough to keep me coming back to them for the adrenaline rush of running for my life, then diving under the truck and keeping my gun ready for anyone that approaches it to look underneath. I performed a lot of these same experiments myself when the game first came out, because I couldn't help myself. My results were roughly the same, but this video showed a few things I didn't test, but was still curious about :)
fun fact: that machete execution at the end of the e3 trailer actually IS possible in game if you do it with a machete
Great comparison. Overall, (after playing myself) I was thoroughly impressed. Most games that come out nowadays aren’t even in the same league as their E3 trailers.
Hi!! I have an update! I haven't tried on my ps4 yet, but on the ps5, as long as you have a machete equipped (any type works, doesn't have to be from the gp trailer), the same mini cutscene from the trailer will play. it plays at a different angle that shows ellie's expression. super dope
Some people hated the story, but everyone loved the gameplay, the scenery and the game itself. This game is a true masterpiece. Personally, I like the story. Completed the game with over 40+ hours of gameplay.
I get a feeling the more advanced animations and lighting will be present for the PS5 edition. You just know theyre gonna rerelease it on the PS5.
I hope they do but what if they don’t since the ps5 might be backwards compatible
No way they must by create new version for ps5
You actually know how much work they have to do to make a ps5 version?? Let alone a remastered version, that is already complicated....besides they are going forward with a new project, so no
great work
10:40 actually, I’ve done that finisher in the game before. It just doesn’t whip the camera around all cinematic like that.
