Kinda disagree.
Yeah another classic last-gen shenanigans
Some things are probably harder to implement in an "old" engine and the results (the performance) are not worth the effort.
It can't be easily fixed at all, RTGI is expensive and other things would suffer because of it.
Yes, tracing against foliage too can be very expensive on the GPU but if anyone can pull it off it would be GG. I know they said they were experimenting with RT but was canned due to cross gen support, I think it's very likely we'll see it in their next title.
Yes, and why the fuck couldn't they give us control over those things. For fuck's sake, Kojima.
Tell that to avatar.
Just run through the story missions.So to look good you have to cover 90% of the screen in snow, nice
Not sure if i'm gonna be able to convince my balls to continue my run, the game is as turdish as the first one gameplay wise and the story\characters are still pure kojima cringe, i think 20 hours was enough to have my fill.
Hopefully i get a decent discount for yotei or the next big sony game bringing back this thing to the gamestop.
Yeah that would be an option.
I'll wait with that statement until i play it on my own PC and not watching a dogshit 2k bitrate IGN video
You must have missed all my posts mentioning this lol
I watched plenty of IGN videos to know when a game looks good or not. People do this with every game they have hope for, they keep waiting for release hoping for a miracle.
Its not a miracle. Just watch the 9 minute gameplay on IGN and watch it on the official channel. Pretty big difference.
I get it, but no point returning it before seeing the best of what the game has to offer. Especially, when literally the story only starts 75% of the way through the game and then ends on a fairly linear fashion anyway. He wants you to play it like this. At least when you get to chapter 9. A straight shot to the end after that despite it taking a good 5-6 hours after that. But all of it is absolutely incredible. Cringe yes, but by design. No one in their right mind is making this game, and no one can get away making something this insane other than Kojima. You almost have to admire the insanity. And no im not calling it genius, its legit nuts but i love it and maybe im insane for liking it because if Neil or Todd Howard did any of this shit, id be like wtf.
Geez, already part of DirectX this quickly? They weren't fucking around with those Nvidia demos from earlier.NVIDIA Updates RTX Neural Texture Compression SDK with Shader Model 6.9 Support and Performance Improvements
NVIDIA has released beta version 0.7 software suite RTX Neural Texture Compression (RTXNTC) — a technology that uses neural networks to compress texture materials. The solution is aimed at significantly reducing the volume of game data and more efficient work with textures during loading and rendering.
The updated version of the SDK adds preliminary support for Shader Model 6.9 via new driver and porting part of DirectX 12 Cooperative Vector logic to the standard Microsoft Agility SDK — previously, custom NVIDIA extensions were used. In addition, now the transformation of weights for inference is performed directly on GPU, which speeds up the execution of operations.
Also implemented custom extensible glTF specification "NV_texture_swizzle", designed to describe NTC storage of materials. In addition, the feedback mode has the ability to batch transcoding of tiles, and in the sample mode, the stability and performance of inference have been improved. The logic of color channel matching and the overall quality of the LibNTC library code have also been improved.
Although the SDK is optimized for NVIDIA graphics, it can also be used on GPU Intel and AMD, including Linux platforms. According to the developers, RTXNTC will continue to develop as a universal tool for future games and 3D scenes, with an emphasis on compression without loss of visual quality.
In clarity of the image yes, but it still looks like a last gen game.
The lighting is dog pooh and those rocks look like last gen doggoe pooh rocks with nanite nowhere to be see. The game looks worse every time they show it.
I don't like to admit that... but you are correct.
It happens often here, also vice versa.
Yes I watched it on 4k after posted it here, definitely underwhelming as fuc. I don't know if they picking only good looking scenes on previous documentary videos, it's definitely disappointing,.DS2 definitely looks better than those last 2 gameplay videos.
Because the change on showed gameplay quality is disappointing truly don't know how game is downgraded on less than one month something definitely wrong with this and not just ign bullshit bitrate youtube quality
Speaking of TLOU, I'm playing now part 2 on PC and I'm getting a strange impression that after you start as Abby the game doesn't look as good as the parts with Ellie.
I was thinking the other day nobody has beaten Cyberpunk yet. It's gonna take GTA6 probably.
My guess is that their daytime lighting isnt that great and kind of exposes the low res textures and models. Day 2 and Day 3 with Abby will look great because Seattle goes back to being covered in dark skies or rain.
GTA 7 are we alive?
I wonder about this though, do some of these stidios lack budget to make good animations or is it a case of them not having skilled animators. In Mafia remake some of the animations like walking animations were really good, but then orher ones were really poor like climbing abominations. Bloober is another one that has struggled to make good animations, even though lot of the other aspects of their games are very impressive. Lile Silent Hill 2 remake doesn't have great animations, but the bigger problem is animation blending in that game where it looks like animations were pasted together instead of being blended. Also how are some of these studios having worse animations than free preset ones in UE or ones you can buy? It's baffling. I think some of these studios just lack good animators and probably don't have enough budget to outsource animations.
I think having skilled people goes a long way. Expedition 33 devs are a small team, but animation quality is pretty good. That's a team of 34 people, which in comparison to Bloober that employs 200 people is very small. Hangar 13 that's making Mafia employs 200+ people, which is far bigger than than a lot of teams that output far better animations. I would also imagine the likes of Bloober and Hangar 13 don't operate on smaller budgets than many devs out there that employ less people.
Happens all too often. Initial reveal starts off as very impressive, and in each subsequent showing the visuals are downgraded. This has got to stop. It's just harming the confidence we have in the industry. Doesn't the Devs/marketing depts realise this??
Stock ue5 slop are usually the best looking games out there tho
