This looks godawful
 
You realize Sucker Punch never shared that the game has an RT mode in any of the pre-release coverage right? It's their own fault.

The rasterized, non-RT, lighting looks the same as the first game per DF, so all those comments are correct.
Yea, it's just gotchas now which would be entirely justified if they showed any of those features off pre release. Not just vague statements like Skifi28 Skifi28 brought up

Of course it is marketing department's fault. I'm not blaming the comments or the commentators. Just saying it didn't age well.

I'm sure several comments defending the lack of RTGI didn't age well either.

Hahaha, that's true. But how can we know that when devs are not talking about this at all and constantly show awful videos?

Agreed! You can't. No one can.

The last 3-4 minutes of the video caught my attention.
If the game really has more uniquely crafted scenarios and better pacing, less repetitive stuff, that sounds great.
Still not a day one for me but probably a buy at 50% discount in the future.
 
The Pro is delivering a great improvement over the base console in this game!

RTGI at 60fps with image quality similar to the non ray-traced quality mode. And it doesn't look like there's any foliage flickering caused by PSSR either.
 
Several issues led to this being underestimated graphically:

- YouTube compression, can't believe I need to mention this, but it completely kills micro detail, especially in a game like this with plenty of tiny foliage details, the codec simply can't keep up and everything starts to blur. It's one of the reasons DF uses the often mocked 400% zoom.
- Sucker punch simply not showing off the RT mode, or even mentioning it at all. Who the hell thought it was a good idea? Although looking back at the marketing it appears the game was taking a while to optimise and they were still updating graphical features. They even have a launch patch coming to further improve performance.
- Finally, I'm sure some wanted this to fail, especially with the recent controversy.

So yes, the game is significantly better looking than GoT.
 
so 2 RT modes on ps5pro
-one runs at 30 fps close to 1800p
-other runs at 60 fps slightly above 1080p with pssr upscaling
I need to know how good is the pisser upscaling in perf mode because that doesn't sound like quality mode at 60 fps like sony promised for pro enhanced games...

I hope it's better than mh wilds perf mode upscaling because that shit was eye melting bad...

Hopefully it's close to ds2 perf mode.

Have you seen the DF video?

performance mode does not use any pssr
and quality mode is 4k , graphical detail settings remain the same across performance/quality modes based on the DF video

Didn't DF say it looks 4K-ish. So... nothing like MH wilds.

I hope there is DLC next year so we get a 2026 PSSR update. Going to look glorious!

Ooooooh, i thought one of the 2 modes you were talking about was perf, but you were talking about 2 rt modes and perf mode is another thing, gatcha.

Well good to have a nice pro version, that's how it should be.

Wow, Atsu is kinda hot!

Much more attractive than the Orang Utang that voices the character. Well done Sucker Punch for giving us an attractive female protagonist for a change.
I told people that her ingame model was better looking than the real actress but people didn't believed me.

She look like a perfectly ok middle age average japanese woman, not a top model but hardly a fugly.

-ps5 base gets perf/quality/RT mode
-pro gets all of the above modes plus RT pro mode with PSSR at 60fps

You know that if a woman that looked like this, in modern clothing, approached you as you walked down the streets of Tokyo, half of Gaf would agree to follow her to a love hotel to tap dat ass.

30fps RT mode on Pro it is for me, I want games to have great IQ + the best possible graphics.

Okay, I watched the video on my TV and its hard to tell IQ differences between the various modes on Pro from this and other videos, I'm just gonna evaluate it natively when I get the game.

If the RT mode is pretty much 1800p at all times then it makes the Fidelity mode pointless and if the RT Pro mode really does hold up that well IQ wise natively then it makes the Performance mode pointless too, so I guess its between the two RT modes, since the indoor lighting is subtley but noticeably better with RT.

It doesnt make much sense to me that the RT Pro mode would have near the same IQ despite such a lower internal res so will check in-game, its a no brainer to play at 60fps with RT if thats true though.

Looks like RTGI only works for Atsu and static geometry, npcs are not covered with it:

Comparison:

But even with all that game still look mediocre:

TxH29BVwMdMtgd5E.jpg
mHAFpVgPw0LiNkCX.jpg



Also Sony dropped mandate for 1440p resolution in performance modes on base PS5 for their games, 1080p for raster only mode is not so great.... SlimySnake SlimySnake

Whoaaa. PSSR ate native 4k's breakfast! With RT and 60 fps too!

60fps RT mode is 1080p on Pro.

60fps RT mode is 1080p on Pro.

These are the worst screenshots of the game I've seen and are not at all reflective of how the game actually looks. Hell, even the compressed YouTube footage is a million miles above this.

Did you export them at 320p or run them through a smear filter before posting these?
 
Sure, but the in-game character is both slimmer and more attractive than the actress.

It's like the opposite of what Guerilla did with Aloy.
Aloy has better body and bigger tits than the skinny flat corpse that is the real actress, they just puffed her cheeks a bit to much and gave her the most retarded haircut, you change that alone and she look good.
