Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain E3 2013 versus E3 2014 versus E3 2015 Builds Comparison

Our reader 'Frost Danger' has shared with us a really interesting video, comparing the E3 2013, 2014 and 2015 versions of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

E3 2015 version looks best

[Erik7357]

With Ubisoft its the opposite,

Each year the Division looks worse and worse

[fallacious]

you can bet the same thing is going to happen to the next ghost recon. ambitious but rubbish.

[d_g]

@fallacious i hope ubisoft will not do this to ghost recon again

the game looked crazy at E3 ! http://ell.akamai.coub.com/...

anyway we will see if Their new policy with Downgrade has Changed http://www.gamespot.com/art...

[fallacious]

@d_g

most of their games look great during reveal. just look at far cry 3, the division and watch dogs. when they were first shown they looked great. then two or three years after they announce and delay them the end results are always subpar compared to the original.

so i'm willing to bet the same thing will definitely happen to ghost recon. ubisoft has a track record for lying and under-delivering.

[GearSkiN]

or that For Honor game...

[assdan]

BUT BUT it's supposed to look worse! lol. People were accusing kojima of downgrading the graphics between it's announcement and now. It's so clear that people just expected it to happen, so they saw something that wasn't there.

[-Ikon-]

the game has day and night cycles and most of the images where just at different times of the day

[Erik7357]

Textures are a lot sharper and some modles are different.

[umair_s51]

@-ikon- nope

[FreshRevenge]

The only difference I saw was lighting effects. It isn't like the character models had a bunch of face lifts or anything like that.

[FreshRevenge]

Also it has been a while since I posted on N4G but what is up with all the girly adds like

21 celebs selfies that blew up the internet etc?

Plus why does everytime I come to the site I have to check some Ddoss check?

[Tornado]

Same here

[just_looken]

The site went under a couple of ddos attacks one made the site go offline for 24 hours. Head ot the n4g Twitter they put up the ddos protection a few weeks ago the information is on there.

The ads are form there 3rd party ad site not them so its always just top stories around the web or eye catching crap for clicks.

[BongSmack]

Wait, they're STILL working on this game?

[FreshRevenge]

Well they should be within the polishing and qa month because in August they should be getting the game near Gold status for production by Sept 1st

[just_looken]

They are 90% complete just polishing if you were not a troll i would expect you to know certain journalists got 5 hours with the game last month there it was said its on the finial code.

2 days ago there lead Japanese voice actor was canned he said there doing the polishing its almost done.

[FreshRevenge]

@just_looken

I really hope you weren't calling me a troll. Plus the user who asked the question wasn't being a troll either. Not everyone sits in front of a computer to know what's going on.

So I think you need to relax and lay off the troll implication complex you have there.

[UNKLE]

In e3 2015 every character face is shiny looked like bronze faces lol.. i think e3 2014 version was the best.

[LostDjinn]

So pretty much different lighting, improved effects (water, sweat, etc) and the implementation of chromatic aberation are present in the 2015 build. Nice touches that flesh out the visuals a little more.

I know konami will throw a sh!t-fit for it being pointed out but the Fox engine really is a testament to the skill of Kojima.

[JoeMcCallister]

Having played this extensively, I truly feel the gameplay and game world and sheer amount of stuff to do will have people looking past any visual issues they really have - and the fox engine looks incredible constantly so to me any issues with the fidelity are seeming extremely nitpicky.

[Jayszen]

Maybe it is just me but I think E3 2014 looks the best. Well, might as well just enjoy the game however it looks!

[flyingwombat33]

Dude... watch the gameplay from 2014 and the gameplay from 2015. The new footage just IS better. It's really not a matter of opinion. The draw distance is vastly improved, anti-aliasing is vastly improved, and the real-time weather and lighting effects are more consistent. Maybe you just liked the trailer more, but the gameplay is definitely better looking now.

[Dspdspes]

Wooohoooo!!! Graphical Upgrade!!! (I've been itching to scream that for a loooong time)

[ybadr]

SPOILER ALERT

Venom Snake is Frank jaeger, aka : Gray Fox.

V has come to.

Mark my words.

[formanbradley]

Only game that actually has graphical UPGRADES during development.

[NerdStalker]

Finally a game that will deliver solid gameplay and graphics on a big open world scale.

[DarXyde]

Game just looks fantastic.

AND running 1080p/60fps. Developers could learn a lot from Kojima. The man is a rockstar and I'm glad to see his work looking to go out on a very high note.

Game of the generation for me, I can feel it. This looks to be the Metal Gear Solid that can finally surpass Snake Eater (in my opinion anyway, if it needs to be said). That game was a masterpiece and I'm glad he's making it so intense and detailed.

Let's see Konami do anything like this without the man and his team.

[nevin1]

Isn't this game coming to 360/PS3?

Because of what I saw of the E3 2015 demo, I wasn't impressed.
