looks rather downgraded in some ways. like the firefight area has much blander lighting and less objects in the environment.. still a fantastic looking game tho.

I really like that move! Unfortunently the gif program i use makes all the movements go double the speed.

Downgrades are never nice, never. But it still looks nice. They must have had their reasons for it. Even though I recall an article from last year where Sam Lake actually said they were improving the graphics even further.
If anything the lighting in the 2015 video is bland, overexposed and rather monochrome, that was what was changed. Doesn't mean it's a downgrade.

well I guess what is more bland in that case is down to opinion.. I find the more intense color of the sunset and the light across the objects in the scene to make it pop a lot more even if it is a little overdone.. but there are definitely less objects in the environment or some of them have been moved around a bit.. but there seems to be less grass and less trees.

Why is blue filter inherently worse then orange filter.
The old version looks so much more natural, a warm summer afternoon, sunlight glow and what not.

I guess, but honestly the 2016 version just looks like a different time of day.
More like almost night time with goddamn blue-tinted floodlights everywhere.

What the fuck is this?!?
Are they actually serious with this blue tint filter bullshit??? Does the game have different TOD or something?
WHAT THE FUCK REMEDY???
TOD looks different ontop of likely colour grading differences. Look at the shadow positions.

maybe instead of a bright summer afternoon, they wanted a cold fall?
This seems totally superfluous
That's what I thought also.
I dunno, I think the original grading is immensely better, makes the lighting looks more realistic, too, whereas the new one the lighting looks more flat.

lol at this faux outrage. The fact that there aren't shadows and headlights are on shows that it's probably a different time of day.

From the shadows it'd look like a different time of the day or different weather, even though i guess the game won't have dynamic weather at all, besides i like the cold colored screenshot more, it fits better the atmophere of the game and the Remedy style
I mean, obviously it's just an artistic choice they made here, but I personally think it looks worse :/. Lighting doesn't "fill" the world as much.

Does the main character in the game is taken from this LOST guy ?
I believe that actor plays the main character's brother.

No, he's iceman from X-Men.

Just watched that XboxUK video, woah i didn't know about the choices and the consequences they could make in the "TV show" it really looks awesome, also they know which is the best tablet to use
It would be hilarious if they'd use an iPad or any other non-Microsoft tablet.
It's a Surface.

We played around the lighting in the levels until the very end. It's not like we settled on how everything looks a year ago, rather we keep developing to the very end.

All footage Released is from Xbox One according to Remedy. They haven't show the PC version yet.
Interesting.

Must be locked down now though? Or do you think it might have a day one patch?
Got it pre ordered from the store so I want to be playing it at 12:01AM on the 5th ofApril
This comment right here let's you know that they did a good job with the graphics. Can't wait.

Could be it, but QB won't have a day/night cycle, will it? Maybe we revisit that location multiple times though. Could be it.

Could be like Gears 3 where the demo they showed changed the time of day later in development?

Yes. Windows 10 and Windows Store only though
The game is supposed to have some sort of integration with an ingame "TV series", that reflects your choices or something. Did they showcase how this is implemented? I remember them making quite a fuss about how it merges games and TV, especially during the TV TV TV craze of MS E3 presentation.
My guess would be that the game is split into Alan Wake-like chapters and at the end you see the next filmed episode, that might contain different scenes, depending on what you did.

You're right, and I apologize I snapped earlier. I really, really loved the warmth of the gradient from last year, and I was shocked when I saw the new, current cool/blue tint, I thought it looked cheap and that it ruined the tone.
It's clear the new artistic style decision was made for a reason, whether it was because it's more fitting for the narrative, tone, atmosphere...etc, you guys would know as developers and I would not until the game is out, so I defer to your judgement on the decision.

I preferred it when Phil Spencer was the lead character and not Wayne Rooney.
I hope this has some real DX12 special sauce on PC, it will be interesting to see which card performs better. The 980 Ti or Fury X.
