What argument? The one that the lighting system is not doing the game any favors? You can have a million polygons on the screen, and because of one technical mishap, it looks like PS3, in those conditions. I said myself that the game is very inconsistent in this thread, but even more inconsistent than the first game, with both higher highs, and lower lows. I've also responded cogently to every post without leaving you on a stupid emoji.

You don't have even the game but because you seen some bad capture for you it's so inconsistent to look like a ps3 game at times (a pure idiotic hyperboling) when even DF said it's one of the best port on ps5 pro. Hope you are conscious the level of absurdity you spit out because you won't admit to have expressed a rushed impression

I mean, if the game was that good you'd be playing it and not posting some gotchas.

I'm literally not at home and the game came out a few hours ago lmao. Also...i ordered the physical edition and it hasn't arrived yet so even if i was at home i wouldn't be playing it.

The real issue here is why are you bothered about a game you clearly don't want to play, don't care and think looks like shit. Maybe you were proven wrong and can't deal with it very well?

It looks last gen no two ways about it lmao

I will play it when its $30 and used and I will probably enjoy it as much as I enjoyed GoT, which I thought was a good game. But thats all I thought it was, a good game. I bought GoT day one and I made the decision that GoY doesn't look like a day one purchase worth $70 to me.

I think story trailers were ok but those "action" trailers with fucked up framerate... ehhh. Once I'm done with SHf and MGS3 remake (didn't play it because of Cronos) I will buy Yotei and finally see it in person.

Even their story trailers didn't always have RTGI (if ever). The feature is coming in hot for sure. Every revision has only shown improvements though, so I'm excited. At this point, I can guarantee the current version of this scene would look nothing remotely like this.

You don't have the game either. We're all discussing the same material here.

Your material is based to a screenshot. Mine about a person who played the whole game, how your opinion can be even comparable?

You seems very defensive buddy, maybe just play the game if you like it so much, my opinion doesn't change one bit until i personally try the game, it's not my fault i sony wasn't able to promote the graphic of this game properly and (and i can't stress this enough) i clean my ass with df taste in graphic and their obbligations to be nice towards the big 3, but you can think they are the graphic bibble if you want

Just annoyed that people are judging the game by blurry YouTube shots. I agree that they didn't display it in the best light but the people posting blurry YouTube shots and acting like the game looks way worse than the first one are special. You called it a miserable display from Sony before seeing it yourself so I can tell you to eat crow now that it's out.

I judge what i see and what sony decide to show and sony this gen let me down a couple of times already so i'm not gonna blindly havbe faith like some of you, it's that simple.

And again with this eating crow stuff, i don't give a damn what DF say (i shat on them for years, you think i care what they say?) or what sony fanboys says, i'm gonna judge the game when i'm gonna personally play it but in the graphical fidelity topic i'm one of the hardest to please so i bet i'm not gonna eat any crow with yotei and the game is still gonna look vastly inferior to shadows and other full nextgen titles, sorry to disappoint you.

If you think i'm eating crow because i bought the game you must not know me very well, i LOVE open worlds and i buy every single sony game except for genres that i don't play like platforms or driving games, buying yotei was NEVER in doubt for a single moment, no matter how critical i'm about the graphic, some of my most played games this year have ps1 worth of graphic so mid graphic never stopped me from enjoying games.

Nah, it looks amazing and If you say it looks vastly inferior to a game I was just playing that looks no better overall (AC Ghost) I'll chalk it up to a hard bias. And I can't keep up around here. I'm an Xbot and a Pony now lol. I am 99% PC and only play on console cause I'm forced to.

It looks amazing to you, and there is a pretty clear comparison about shadows and yotei here on gaf where shadows wins 80% of the times and most of the topic agree except the usual suspects, it's not even a discussion that shadows is the more nextgen game between the 2 unless you have what you call, hard bias...

I think yotei has an amazing art design and i praised the thing in the grapical fidelity topic but i can separate art design prowess from technical prowess, they are not the same thing.

P.s. i hope to eat crow and be wrong, i really have no pride for this type of shit, i'm critical because i want more from sony, if they oblige i'm super happy, i literally bought a pro to play their games in their best form since i have a pc with a 4080 to play everything else.

His opinion that the lighting system cooks the vibe in certain scenarios is based on those photos, not just one but quite a few very ugly examples. If the weather changes and you move to a different area and the game suddenly looks like a PS7 game...that is still completely consistent with this take.

I think the ray tracing is probably why it's more inconsistent than the first game. Sometimes, the scene benefits greatly from it, while others, the RT literally illuminates the imperfections in the scene in all the ways they wouldn't with a hand-tuned, purely rasterized approach. While this time it's some hybrid solution between the two where certain objects are still rasterized like NPCs (according to the DF vid you reference). Sometimes it looks gorgeous in panning shots and has great physics, other times indoor NPCs look almost like Starfield faces due to the lighting (an exaggeration, but not much if you look.) Both these shots are from the DF vid, so, what is the issue with calling the game inconsistent? Check it from 3:32

I bought the Pro for the same reason. I think the presentation of a game and it's art are part of the overall package so for me, it all matters. I've already paused to take pics more than I did in Ghost and that is telling for me. If my eyes are pleased, that's what matters. Come back after you play it, I'm curious what you think. It's night and day compared to the combat vids they shared at the start.

I'm gonna tell you something, i value good character models A LOT, and shadows is kinda mid when it comes to characters, so if yotei has better characters (even just in cutscenes) i may be even say that TO ME it looks better than shadows even if shadows look better in everything else.

I already know that art design and scene composition utterly obliterate shadows...

See, i have no problem giving cesar what belong to cesar.
