General Discussion

The bus scene.  When a bus is dusty, old, and the morning light shines on it, that's what it looks like.  I know from riding lots of crappy school buses.  I can see why people prefer the older build though, it's beautiful.  What's so weird about the Nate/Elena pics?  They made some changes to the story or maybe felt the real pictures were too spoilery.

I know someone is going to mention this, Chloe does look good in the early build, in a bland typical pretty girl way.  The last version is better because she looks more exotic and interesting.

I am going to show some very noticable changes that occured between E3 version shown on trailer, and the game we've got.

 

but Chloe's model looks like this... Also notice lighting.

 

That's the worst shot you can take from Chloe on the campaign.

I saw some of those images on the Gamespot forums too, apparently.

As some others have said, it almost looks like as though the scenes from the E3 build were pre-rendered, actually, but then again, the unlikeliness of such a claim is just as justifiable, really.

Whatever the case, it looks like a lot of changes were made during the time surrounding the day they released their trailer in E3 and the day they actually finally went gold; of course, it was to be expected, though, since they themselves said that until the game is completely finished, there's bound to be some changing here, polishing there, maybe even some removals in this area and so on and so forth.

The difference in texture and overall environment appearances are still pretty intriguing, though..

Guess what? When a game is still in development things can change. So the conversation between Nate and Elena happens in a different place and they changed the lighting in the bus scene. So what?

Yes, but why did the bus scene (no offence to ND) become significantly worse-looking? That snippet  looked lovely and polished in the E3 trailer, and Chloe looked fantastic.

I hate saying negative things about ND because I love them, but to me I suspect they ran out of time  and chucked that yellow smog in to cut down on detail and do a quick render so they could get it out the door in time (this is just my guess). 

Lightning looks worse, Chloe and Elena models look very weird, specially Chloe, she looks nothing like the Chloe we met in Uncharted 2. I don't Understand such drastic changes, since Uncharted never had real time cutscenes, why downgrade?

Made a comparison with Elena.

Also Does it Matter?
