MLB 14: The Show is excellent on PS3. But many baseball fans are undoubtedly waiting for the PS4 version, coming next month. It's going to look better--but by how much? A new video of the PS4 version shows us.

Game designer Ramone Russell explains that the PS4 version implements a new lighting engine. In addition, polygon count has been increased nearly tenfold. However, this is probably the most impressive stat: there are over a thousand unique character crowd models, meaning sports games no longer have to be attended exclusively by clones.

The PS4 version of MLB 14: The Show will be available on May 6th. While Sony doesn't have an official trade-up program, GameStop will let gamers trade in their PS3 copies for PS4 versions.

      I am not sure what spec maps (reflective property) have to do with jumbotrons (which would be emissive), but it did look pretty decent. Also, I chuckled when he said "floating point frame buffers".
