They seem deeply unimpressed with Ghost of Yotei. Shame.

[DenchDeckard]

Basically, they are eluding that Ghosts is a PS4 game in look. The scale looks much bigger than the original but I can see what they are saying to a degree.

They seem deeply unimpressed with Ghost of Yotei. Shame.

That was also initial reaction of many people in graphics thread here.

It's GOT 1.5 despite new generation.

 

[JaksGhost]

Alex is such a bitch. I'm actually tired of him now at this point. It's weird how they keep over analyzing PlayStation titles when they have a dirth of Xbox games that they could also be giving coverage too yet they don't. Xbox had a whole showcase this summer and they just glossed over the footage with 1 podcast yet the Pro announcement set them up with a 2 hour podcast of rambling and clips to flood their channel with traffic.

 

[mayham2199]

Could care less what they think about how Ghosts looks. I just played GOT not that long ago and thought it looked amazing.

Dude I can't.. trying to listen to what they say on Horizon but there's always that weird as shit psycho/down syndrome laugh in the background coming out of the blue..

 

[midnightAI]

because they are morons, massive open world scale and 'boohoo no raytracing', not everything has to have fucking raytracing

 

[Zuzu]

I agree with Alex that Yotei is graphically disappointing. It looks like a high resolution PS4 game in a lot of shots. The mountains in distance look good. But it should be better for a game coming 4-5 years into the PS5’s lifecycle.

At least it actually has textures this time around

 

[adamsapple]

The first game came out in 2020, it's probably a Rebirth situation where they're essentially using the same tech but expanding the world.

Which is fine, the first game was carried by its really strong art style. This should be more or less the same.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What did people expect from Ghost of Yotei? Sucker Punch is not a huge team, and why wouldn't they do more of the same? The original looks amazing on PS5, so some tweaks and reusing of assets makes total sense. I'm sure this sequel will look like they spent the money in the right places to make a beautiful game. That's all that matters.

 

[intbal]

Is that "Patch 9 for DD2" a video that will be coming out in the future?
I'd like to know whether Capcom fixed the checkerboard reconstruction on Xbox.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

If people aren't impressed with something like Ghost of Yotei then this industry is truly fucked.

If you need the type of realism that we can only find in games like TLOU2 or RDR2...where is this industry heading?

I love the vivid colors and the vibes from this series. It's realistic...but not really. Kinda like a less realistic version of Uncharted...but with those vivid colors that IP also has. I always loved the aesthetics from the first Ghost of Tsushima so seeing a step up from that is all i needed. Specially if there's a 60fps mode right from the start which the first game didn't have (and they failed to mention, obviously).

I hope Sony doesn't pressure most of their studios to go all in on realism. Some games such as these are great looking games as they are.

Nintendo really dodged a bullet by not going the "realistic look". You never see these guys being this picky with those titles.

 

[mansoor1980]

hey sony haters .................

 

[kevboard]

They seem deeply unimpressed with Ghost of Yotei. Shame.

the first game already wasn't technically impressive. it was entirely held up by the art direction. any closer look at any singular detail in that game will leave anyone unimpressed.

so this isn't surprising. they are a tech channel first after all. artstlye is a subjective thing, while they run a channel that looks mostly at objectively quantifiable aspects of the presentation

 

[JaksGhost]

I agree with Alex that Yotei is graphically disappointing. It looks like a high resolution PS4 game in a lot of shots. The mountains in distance look good. But it should be better for a game coming 4 years into the PS5’s lifecycle.

If we're being honest nothing has really looked remotely next-gen aside from Hellblade 2 and we see how that game came and went after the graphic circle jerk was over. PS4 games were already pushing the boundary at 30fps. Next-gen is more than just graphics.

How PlayStation 5 Pro lays the groundwork for PS6 and beyond

A new DF Direct Weekly lands - as usual - today, with the team's thoughts on the recent State of Play, reaction to the most recent RTX 5080/5090 leaks and, perhaps inevitably, more PlayStation 5 Pro. However, it's actually a point raised in last week's Direct that I want to tackle in this week's blog. Many believe - with some justification - that the PS5 Pro is a step too far and that such a console isn't needed. In fact, we've made the argument ourselves. Looking back at that piece, I warned about higher costs of a Pro console, but also looked at the potential improvements it could bring - all of which have come to pass with PS5 Pro. Microsoft declined the opportunity to follow likewise, but now we have some idea of why Sony has taken a different route and perhaps more of the strategy is now understandable.

 

[solidus12]

Lmao, Bugga is upset that Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster is being worked on by Nixxes. He said that Guerrilla should be doing the work and let Nixxes port other games to pc.

The console is still the priority here Alex.

Lmao dude you need to relax. Calling someone a bitch just because he stated facts which many people have agreed with.

No, Alex is a bitch and it's a general consensus around here. No need to defend your man.

I remember when he jumped through hoops to damage control Halo Infinite and Craig's graphics after that reveal.

Good times.

It was that day that I learned that ray tracing also increases geometric density and model quality. What a technology!

 

[Bojanglez]

Yes as soon as they announced it and PSSR I thought this is as much an early access to that tech for devs as it is a benefit for consumers. If Sony and devs use this next 2-3 years to build these tools into their pipelines and PS6 uses this extensively, then it will hit the ground running with full dev support by all studios.

Much tech site. Many expertise.

DF: "do not expect PS5 Pro to run 30fps PS5 games at 60fps with that CPU"


PS5 Pro: running 30fps PS5 game around 60fps


DF: " Hey look we found a way to run the game at or near 60fps on PS5 that we didn't tell you about & there for you still shouldn't expect PS5 Pro to run other 30fps PS5 games at 60fps"

Lol

then maybe stop laughing?

So funny. Now go back to your BF.

Why is Alex excited about the 5090? all these games are going to be CPU limited to 30fps i so sad

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Good times.

Someone post the clips of him drooling all over it

 

[Bojji]

RTGI can improve look of every game but for sure it doesn't improve geometry hahaha.

 

[Senua]

3600x is the only CPU. It is known

 

[DenchDeckard]

Where the fuck do you guys find these pics of Alex?

hahaha, it's wild.

 

[kevboard]

So funny. Now go back to your BF.

It's always funny how the Sony fanboys get their panties twisted on here the moment anyone who isn't a bootlicker talks about their games, or tells them that the PS5 Pro isn't magic

Me too. They must hate women protagonists. /s

Playstation fanboys will eat them alive.

Good to see them shitting all over Ghosts 2. Hate when big outlets are soft.
Only way to make developers step it up is to call them out.

What game is this? I have to watch this when I get home.

Where the fuck do you guys find these pics of Alex?

They probably have folders full of them and links to our posts, hahaha.

Playstation fanboys will eat them alive.

Alex crossdress can make a video saying how Ray Tracing can improve the graphics too... will he do it?

There's the skirt one.
The others seem to be from Facebook.

It still looks beautiful. Like a work of art.

Ask him, not me LOL. I hate Ray Tracing, so you never gonna get me recommending this kinda of stuff.

the presentation was sublime.
