I expect a lot from it since we got that head technical engineer from Ready At Dawn at it. At the very least the materials will be stellar.
Some top of the industry programmers working currently on SSM, as per LinkedIn profiles they may have the top programmers on all of sony first party studios
Im holding out hope for both SSM and ND to get back to their old roots. As others have said, SSM has been on an elite talent hiring spree. let us pray.
you know what other games dont look significantly better than wolverine? Death stranding 2, Ghosts 2, Spiderman 2, Ratchet Rift Apart, Demon Souls, Returnal, Soros, Interstellar. And thats just the next gen only games.
DLC? Dude forget DLC, they are making a 2D game. Yes, thats right. AAA devs based out of Los Angeles making $140k a year on average are making a 2D game for a first party developer.
I remember reading somewhere that 2d God of war game developed by other third party studio with SSM overseen it.
this is amazing news , The Ascent was an INCREDIBLE game, espeically in terms of visuals. The best use of UE for an Isometric game.
it blew my mind how detailed all the environments were in that game. one of the olnly games where concept art was absolutely fully realised and a world that felt genuinely alive and breathing.
...developed by no more than """"12"""" devs, mind you
I can't wait for their next game, which is reportedly 1st person.
give that Krafton has bought them, they might switch gears to multiplayer or stoop so low as to make one of those colourful GenZ games
hopefully not

if all the best studios take their time then we will get one game every 8 years from them. it's just a video game guys. the empire state building was built in a little over a year and that was 95 years ago.
The physics were also well done.
Stalker Gamma modded to the absolute max.
Cory team use SSM inhouse engine like all their games
Guys, this only means one thing. Cory has been working on a TLOU reboot. We've gotten remasters, we've gotten remakes of remasters and now we need to go back and do spinoffs. The Last of Us Zero: Joel's First Marriage.
Shhhh..they'll hear you
"Breathtaking" - DF 2025.Lmao
Lmao
Ummm, hiring a principal graphics engineer with ray tracing background the month their game is shipping doesnt mean that game has ray tracing. it could, but i dont see how the two are related. its definitely possible that he wants this guy to lead the ray tracing implementation since its a high level position.This confirms that saros will use ray tracing effect alongside real time dynamic global illumination, here's housemarque technical art director
looks good for a ps360 era game.I mean you can cherry pick bad looking shots, but the game looks quite nice on Switch 2 tbh:
looks good for a ps360 era game.
this is what KZSF looked like in 2013.
And BF4 which itself was a cross gen PS360 era game, but still looked great for its time on the PS4.
There are mobile games that look better than this smh....Lmao
MP4 looks noticeably worse than shadowfall. It's no surprise it runs better.
Not really at all. Thoroughly unimpressive for a first party effort.
He hires this position for ps5 pro development, unless their next title will be cross gen title which also may be true like sony strategy this gen
It's 4x the framerate on hardware that is 2x more powerful than a ps4 while looking approximately 2x worse. From the lighting to the scope of the levels, the lighting, textures, geometric complexity, etc. It looks worse. I don't need to play the game to see that it looks worse.
Perhaps
The game uses the Switch 2 hardware even less than the trailers made it seem. It's just another Ragnarok situation with it only being higher resolution and framerate.I mean you can cherry pick bad looking shots, but the game looks quite nice on Switch 2 tbh:
Nintendo stans were literally smugly arguing fervently that this thing is more impressive than Killzone Shadowfall. That legit looks much worse than Uncharted 3 outside image quality. Metrid prime 3 was legit a tehnical powerhouse for the console up there with the best at its relase and we have DF saying this is technically brilliant just because its solid framerate and resolution wise. As if running a PS3 game upressed and upframed on the ps4 is something praise worthy.Lmao
Hey man, it's a solid 60 fps and 1440p! Screw ambitious tech as long as it's a solid framerate even if it looks like ps3 game, you're set for praise.
That legit looks comparable to Halo 4, a 360game....honestly, outside image quality, Halo 4 looks more pleasing to me.I mean you can cherry pick bad looking shots, but the game looks quite nice on Switch 2 tbh:
DK Bananza, Mario kart World, Kirby and now this. It's obvious that the talent is simply not there at Nintendo. Nor the drive or ambition to make something truly amazing. They are great level designers, and do have that rare talent of extracting fun out of gameplay mechanics that other generic Ubisoft developers just cant, but it's like they are allergic to graphics. At this point, it's a matter of principle. You release a $70 game and it has to look next gen. Or at the very least PS4 gen. otherwise wtf is the point of giving this console a 3 tflops nvidia GPU capable of DLSS and ray tracing? Bumping up the price to near $500.
Maybe you're not remembering it well either...
Here's the thing, they do or did have technical talent, which is what's frustrating, but they only use it once in a blue moon and will happily coast on the lowest effort approach techwise 90 percent of the time. Zelda looks great on the Switch 1, considering its physics and interactions. Xenoblade was also quite good, but then they realized that outside of one or two releases, they can easily accomplish their goals in terms of sales while doing the bare minimum, so here we are.
