Let's us remind ourself that this game has good visuals from time to time
Thanks for the images. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but those textures (especially on guns) look much better than those on the PS4 screenshot posted above.

RP is good for many types of games, but for twitch shooters... not so much. But at least we need to know first how they binded additional buttons. Hopefully nothing is on backtouch.
If you can run Rage, you'll be able to run this.

Agreed....MILES better, specifically the guns. Something stinks here. Bullshots? High res PC textures? God damn. What version are those screens from?
I think that gun is only from the prologue. The others will likely look better.

Visual design is the some of its parts.
People would caught up on RAGE's texture work but taken as a whole, the game looked like it's goddamn concept art, real talk.
That and it ran at 60fps.

Agreed. After playing the boring but beautiful game that is inFamous: Second Son, making wall textures such a high priority in your wishlist in a game is kind of ridiculous.
The game, as a whole, looks good. It's the character models, colors, shaders, shadows, etc. Judging just one part is unfair.
That's like zooming in on a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta's side marker light and saying it's ugly.
I should be good then. I haven't played it on this one but the previous PC handled it.
Just got to hold out a few months then I won't fear new PC games for a few years

Tomb Raider on PS 4 is almost 60 frames per seconds too and has nice sharp textures. Would they even look better with a 30 frames target? Of course!
But the problem with Wolfenstein is more the engine - idTech 5 - and the way its "megatextures" work.
I'm guessing PC.
When the PR images differ from the console version either the screenshots were bullshots or they are from the PC version.

Think of game's like The Witcher 2 or STALKER. Those games have some insane texture quality, but taken as a whole, I dont think they're amazing looking at all. Obviously people get to show off what their rigs are capable of with 4k res screenshots and such.
In the end, I will always prefer art over raw tech and specs...
Hopefull we get the best worlds from time to time though like with Killzone2, which I think is still the best looking game of last gen, if not one of the best ever made

TR also had a year of development after the initial release dedicated exclusively to porting the title, so that's a different scenario.
But I agree that idTech is the main culprit here.
There is an option to turn on voice commands on the XB1 version but I didn't turn it on to see what it does. I'd imagine its just menu commands.

I see you really like your low res textures.

after seeing those ps4 textures.... me too
Its like all the Rage screenshots taken by people on this forum. Good from afar and at specific angles, but once you get near anything it becomes garbage. I didnt have any hope at decent textures due to id tech 5. I hope that the PC version isnt garbage like Rage.
You arent getting anything better on PC. The game is the same size.
It's looking better as I move along:
Everyone says that game gets better after prologue. Post few non-spoilerish screenshots from your console if you can. Its no matter if its twitter/fb/usb export.

Same. If that screenshot's indicative of the game as a whole...damn. I wanted to play this on PS4 but if the PC is that much better looking I can't justify it.
TAJ
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The PC download size is basically the same. The textures aren't going to be better.

But why do the guns look....better, if the perspective (first person) is the same? Granted, the ones in those better screens aren't the same gun as the PS4 screenshot. Maybe just some inconsistency?

I'd take higher resolution, better textures, anti-aliasing and other visual enhancements over 60fps any day.
Hopefully. I was about to hit "purchase" but that one screenshot gave me lots to think about.
I wouldn't mind getting the PC version if that were the case.

Ditto. 60fps is always ideal but a locked 30 with solid visuals is a good compromise.
so play it on a PC and get both. I feel like this thread has turned into an Archer meme
Games looks great and I'm going to get it but holy shit idTech 5 needs to be put out to pasture. Those are some ugly ass textures (I'm not a snob and the game overall has a good look though). For 50 gigs of space the game should be the best looking thing out there but the mega texture idea just has almost no advantages at all. Hearing about the same kind of pop in and low res stuff as Rage has dampened my hype a bit.
Gameplay and environments look spot on though, so bring on the 20th yo.

That... and because I don't like the PS4 controls.
Rage runs great on my system, so I think I'll be OK.
Stuff probably isnt loading in properly or its the typical bullshot. You have to remember id tech 5 is hilariously bad with its streaming.

My 5-year old laptop isn't up for the task, and I wouldn't play the game on it even if it was; bigger screen, better experience.
You just contradicted yourself .
PC gamers have access to settings that console versions do not have. Higher resolution .. Better aa .. Better AF
All these things will make the textures and over all game look better.

I think you need to go look at the Witcher 2 on very high/ultra and then come back. That game looks amazing as a whole. As did stalker when it was releases.
I'm going PC just for Mouse/Keyboard controls.

It has nice little touches like bloody hands and there is a permanent noise filter applied which I don't like but it guess creates some atmosphere. PS4.

Sorry I'm not the best with this stuff, but how does resolution, AA and AF increase texture quality? I was under the impression those would just "clean" up the overall image quality.
Well, in full honesty, I knew this game isn't going to be the next graphical masterpiece. After seeing all of those trailers, I was drawn to the game because of atmosphere and fluid gameplay.
As long as game looks decent and above all, runs smoothly, I don't care about a few crappy textures.
Preorder NOT cancelled!

You just said it. :/
Those will make the textures sharper.
Filtering textures ads texture data where there was none. All those thing help with the filtering of the texture.

Thanks, I didn't know it actually added data to the texture itself. I was picturing the texture as an "image" (ie the bricks on a wall) and thought those extra settings would just do work on things like the edges. Really curious to see some maxed out PC screens vs PS4.
Well, looks like my PS4 Occupied Edition was shipped by GAME today. Hoping it'll show up tomorrow.
The tracking for my LE Artbook shows that it's way to an airport. Due to me being a UK person, I'm not expecting to get the Artbook or Panzerhund Edition before the end of the month.
