ok, just watched the first two sections. The visual noise, lighting artifacts and poor shadow flickering are only an issue if you dont use ray reconstruction. Enabling ray reconstruction secretly enables the highest preset which enables the highest lighting and geometry presets that do not show the same behavior as the Cinematic preset. So yeah, just enable ray reconstruction and the first part of the video will not apply to you. Even at DLSS performance, you will get the highest quality lighting with sample counts far higher than the cinematic preset.
My favorite thing is the pop-in that happens literally right in front of you as you get on a horse. This is something i used to see in Horizon Zero Dawn. Even HFW fixed this on PS5 thanks to its larger vram pool.What happened to all the youtube grifters and twitter tards who had been praising CD to the moon for its custom engine and blowing ol' shitty nasty UE5 out of the water??
They'll fix these bugs but I still can't get over the pop-in even when maxed out.
Still bought it though
Depending on how the game stores and loads the configs we might be able to adjust those things.
ok, i see what you are saying. Really weird stuff, but his optimized settings do get you an extra 18% back in performance and its still using cinematic and ultra settings.
They're cooking hard. TW4 has to be my most anticipated game alongside GTA6. I have very high expectations.Finally up to 500 devs on Witcher 4. they were around 200 back in 2023 iirc. 7 years on one game and one DLC. I think devs need to stop working on DLCs. Just fix the bugs and move on. Phantom Liberty took 3 years and hundreds of devs that couldve been working on Witcher 4. Who knows maybe we wouldve had the game by now.
I've always defended them and can't wait for W4, but right now I'm wondering why they have 150 devs on CP still.Finally up to 500 devs on Witcher 4. they were around 200 back in 2023 iirc. 7 years on one game and one DLC.

thats CP2 my guy. the sequel. They opened a new studio in Boston for it.
Ow, fuck, sorry, reading is hard sometimes.
Eh. Weird to dismiss criticism by saying every. single. person. hates it. Maybe the backlash isnt just uniform, its unanimous?
what did u just say lmao
DLSS5 is confirmed to be fake.
There is no agenda. It just looks shit.
I mean Jensen said this "it's not post-processing, it's not post-processing at the frame level, it's generative control at the geometry level" or that "DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI" he was literaly saying it's not just a filter and now we know that DLSS5 is just a 2D AI Filter.
lol what can I say? I like pretty graphics.
What is this trash? This isn't first hand anything, first hand means its actually running on a ps6.
Leave the tech talk exclusive for those who know what they are talking about (me myself and Irene)
Looks like a troll account, report and move on.
The point was, before you can fairly say any of the stuff you just said, lets let it get to fucking market first so we can try it for ourselves.
Because Ray reconstruction got turned off when you went from cinematic to ultra. That's what happened to me.
I have repeatedly said that it could and will get better. But right now it is clear what this tech is and it is a filter where the ai i s literally making up details that completely ignore the lighting the artists put in, the textures the artists drew, and the character models they designed. Its doing this because that's what it is designed to do. It is not trained on the ark work. It is not trained on the game. It is not trained on the concept art. And it is definitely not trained on games. It's trained on real life footage from God knows where. Probably porn, YouTube slop, and other stuff on the internet.
Things like real-time shadow maps, subsurface scattering, screen-space reflections, SSAO, Path Tracing are all approximations in and of themselves to get developers closer to their artistic intent. From what I'm currently reading, DLSS 5 in its current state is less controllable since it doesn't read 3D pipeline to the extent that a Screen-space reflection would do, it may create unintended hallucinations (Grace RE9 face in the intro city section) so that counts as a disadvantage, but I would also argue that Screen-space reflections, while more "controllable", are very inaccurate and put artists far away from their true artistic vision, DLSS 5 gets them much MUCH closer, but at the cost of less "controllability." So with Raster/RT techniques (or let's say traditional methods), they have to maneuver & "cheat" around limited techniques that already put them faaaaar away from their intent, but they happen to be more consistent.
Apparently they did it now with DLSS 5 to gain a competitive edge over AMD & to have much more broad support starting this year, the DLSS 5 that'll be aware of 3D pipelines & normals and that stuff may come a year later, they'll call it DLSS 5.5 or something. That's my prediction.
I'm having a rockgasmFor my fellow rocks lover Crimson Desert has some nice textures
Crimson Desert on PS5Pro looks pretty awesome. Even without the ray reconstruction from PC, the RTGI, RT reflections on water and all reflective materials, armor pieces reflecting onto itself, RT Shadows for all spot lights like torches, lamps, city lights is impressive. Only the shadows from the sun's direct lighting is raster. It's pretty ridiculous. There's a lot little details everywhere; displacement mapping even on the animals to create short fur which isn't noticeable until you get really up close. Performance mode with pssr2 image quality is pretty great too. The only big drawback is the pop-in.
