MLB 14 The Show Screenshots (PS4)

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted some MLB 14 The Show screenshots. All of these are from the PS4 version. We have been told the compression killed them and they hope to release super hi-res shots later.

Either way, what are your thoughts?

My thoughts... Wish I could see them!! Ah, price of being visually impaired!

And the news keeps getting better! The mini fact sheet got me more excited than I was this morning and the fact the screenshots aren't truly telling of the real thing is a relief! They looked a bit funky to me

These pictures are gorgeous. They will only look better in person or with a higher res.

There are higher res vesions of these shots out there already.

For me Mike Napoli's beard looks weird for some reason, Now when they showed Jason Werth's beard in the 1st trailer it looked good, IMO

It might just be the lighting, but the color looks a bit weird and there are a lot of pointy single hairs sticking out, which stand out a lot on the edges. Hard to describe, a bit too bristled on the edges? Its still a big step up, but I'd guess that they will improve the facial hair even more as time goes on.

In reality, you are going to be viewing these guys from a distance 90% of the time. Only in close-up cut scenes will you notice the scraggly hairs, so I don't really think it's an issue.

Plus, as a bearded fellow, I can definitely attest to wild beard days if you don't comb it down.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Screenshots (PS4)

These players don't look next gen, the hair and beards do but the players don't

And the jerseys look terrible still, that picture of Pagan.....

Also the walls at Fenway aren't the right color

Idk, i just hope the final version looks a lot better

Everything they have announced so far has been excellent, and it's only going to get better, but I feel like the graphics are a let down so far.

I'd wait until some actual video comes out of the PS4 version. Its a WIP and frankly I'd rather they focus on getting the performance nailed down first, then start to add in visual enhancements. These shots don't look that impressive, I'll give you that, but in motion the game may look a lot better than you think. Just seeing things like the crowd and having a hard time finding two similar models (I maybe found one guy that I think shows up twice) makes the jump to PS4 worth it.

As for getting the performance nailed down first, i don't think that's really a reason for the graphics to not be better, just look at all the other next gen games' graphics, i was honestly expecting graphics like nba 2k.

And yeah i'm definitely looking forward to seeing the game in motion, because i know it will do it more justice than photos.

Also the last part about making the jump to ps4, i'm not even thinking about that. Already a done deal for me, and without a doubt, i'll be getting this game release day and playing it non stop for months.

I like this becaue I (only a few shots though-- I'll reserve final judgment until more is released) agree with you that the jerseys and players bodies still look identical to CG.. Which if they indeed do look NG, then this game will not be rivaled by any (graphics wise).

Definitely, if the player models and jerseys looked next gen, this would be the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. But they don't unfortunately.

Not yet anyways.

Getting the performance nailed down absolutely affects the graphics of the game. If you can't hit your performance goal, you bump down the AA, lower texture and shadow resolution, alter your shaders, etc. People who play PC games will let you know what sacrifices they make in order to secure a solid 60 fps on their machine.

I'll grant you that artistic creations could improve, hand-made beards, jerseys, etc. But there I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the final game in motion will make these screenshots look terrible.

I agree with that, what i was saying was, i guess i just thought the graphics were a given to look amazing. I don't see it as an either/or scenario where you give some graphics to better some performance aspects.
