Re: MLB 14 The Show Video - Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels (PS4)

I realize that. I'm looking at the video with the recommended HD resolution. I'm just not getting my hopes that this game is going to look amazing visually,and that's ok really. I'm just hoping that it's not going to look almost like the ps3 version. I'm just hoping that it's going to be a little better then ps3 version a little! I shelled out fifty dollars for the ps3 version,that still a awesome and is still awesome visually still even at the end of the last gen cycle! It don't know how it's going to look any different on my TV posted to viewing on a computer. The bottom line is I've put down a deposit for the ps4 version,and I don't want to feel like I wasted my money on the ps4 version when all that has be done and looks like a more polished version visually of the ps3 mlb the show! Despite all of that,it doesn't mean that I still want to buy it and see for myself! I'm still very curious,yet still skeptical! You feel me? See we're I'm coming from?

I'm not trying to defend this game, but this video really is compressed quite a bit. YouTube just doesn't justify what this game looks like, PS3 or PS4, because the framerate doesn't show up at 60 FPS.

Even still, MLB 14: The Show isn't much of a system seller on PS4 if you have the PS3 version. Maybe MLB 15 will or maybe MLB 16 will, but I think people who are skeptical about this game's visuals have every right to be. Not saying they aren't tidy, but people might have had expectations that are yet to appear on this generation. They will, though. The vision needs to be there first.

So you see, things are looking up.

Agreed, year 2 has always been a huge leap over year 1.

Honestly I wasn't expecting much graphically out of any year 1 PS4 sports game, but then there was 2K14... In retrospect though, the leap seems huge because 2K looks so bad on last-gen, the same can't be said for The Show obviously. Still, when I saw the initial reveal for MLB I was blown away because the heads really are visually impressive, Kemp and Headley looked amazing. And then in Feb/March the early previews started to roll in, and people in the know started to hype up the graphics to insane levels. Remember Steve's "HOLY S." thread? Or how about these?

I've seen the game run, so don't base an opinion on screenshots, seriously. The amount of detail on the players on PS4 is staggering.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


How do I say this.............................................. ........................

Our lead graphics programmer just cracked the code on our PS4 lighting engine about an hour ago. When I show you again it's going to look better. I might even do a comparison of the two.


Can't wait to show you guys this man now I have to re-take all the screen shots I took already for Thursday.

And when we finally saw the screens, some people were like "... ... ... That's it?" and in response others would say "It's probably an old build" or "The game looks much better in motion" etc.

Well here we are at release and the tune has changed somewhat. The game looks good and it's obviously the best looking The Show to date, but after reading the impressions and watching the streams, I get the sense that people were hoping for a little bit larger leap.

So moral of the story: Hype is dangerous! It is better to come in with minimal expectations and be pleasantly surprised than with high expectations only to be met with disappointment.

Now what were we talking about again?

Does anybody remember the Madden 25 ps4 version,remember how much hype that version had visually and screen shots and game play footage and a lot of people we're skeptical about that? Then it came out and the visuals weren't that much better then the ps3 version! Enough said lol!

By the way,I was on my ps4 earlier and I went on playstation live and some dude was playing mlb the show 14. I asked where he got it and he said some mom & pop store near him! What's up with that,that's what I want to know lol.

Actually for me, the visuals WERE a little better on PS4, deff a noticeable difference. BUT the game played like the PS3 version unfortunately and THAT's what disappointed me. I thought they'd fix the defensive issues and other such things, but they didn't. So..... . BUT looking at the new trailer for 15 the look of the new player model makes 15 LOOK promising, but I'm not falling for anything until it comes out and I confirm what I need to. (but I digress, sorry, back to the Show).

You think NBA 2k13 and 14 look bad on the PS3/360? I don't but anyway...I have not made the leap to next gen as of yet and see no game out there worth upgrading for quite yet. As far as The Show goes the game peaked for me so far as gameplay/graphics/movement with their efforts with 12. Haven't played 14 yet still recovering from 13.

I am sure that by the time they release 16 they will have figured out the new console. It seems as if their first effort on the 4 hasn't been met with 100% satisfaction not that I expected it would.

Good lord, what a bump.
