It's obvious after 2+ years that the industry has already taken on the PC model when it comes to console development so might as well bring on the mid gen refreshes at some point. Is your worry that if that happens they'll not put a full effort into the OG ps5/sx?
The funny thing with ray tracing is that generally speaking it isnt even that big of a difference. At best, you are getting accurate lighting, reflections and shadows, not always better.
I made some cyberpunk comparisons and plan to do the same with witcher 3. im one of the biggest graphics whores around and i cant tell the difference.
This is Psycho RT maxed out vs no RT. I mean i cant tell you which one is RT because i never bothered labeling it back when i first uploaded it on twitter.
If Portal had gotten a next gen remake, it would seriously look that good even if it didnt have RT.
Dying Light 2 pre downgrade wasnt using RT and it looked a million times better than the downgraded version with RT.
Even the Matrix demo looks stunning if you switch from hardware accelerated Lumens which is using Ray tracing to Software Lumens which doesnt use ray tracing. There is a slight drop in quality but its no different than going from high to medium in PC games. Id rather consoles target Software Lumen until midgen consoles arrive.
these comparisons are rare and its mostly the reflections that stand out. most of the time you wont be able to tell the difference. especially if they had bothered to put accurate SSR reflections on that ground panel.
Rtx is extremely situational.

What about Xbox?
Its actually closer to 900p in pixel count because of the letterboxing. Most of the games last gen on PS4 targeted 1080p which meant giving up 44% of the GPU to just rendering pixels where as The Order and HFW target 900p and were able to do far more with the GPU. People wonder just how they were able to fix and upgrade so many graphical features.
Days Gone and Detroit were robbed.
yes. They will not put in as much effort to use hardware and we will be getting more mid gen refreshes to combat that.

People wonder just how they were able to fix and upgrade so many graphical features like water, interactive foliage, lighting, and character models. This is why ive always said that tflops matter. every single shader core can be used for either pushing graphical fidelity like HFW, AC Unity and Order do, or push pixels. Now we are seeing all these studios target native 4k like morons when they could be doing so much more. Starfield, Ratchet, NFS, TLOU Part 1, Demon Souls... all targeting native 4k 30 fps despite being next gen only. Just a bunch of idiots.
yeah some areas look good. Two of those are in midgard which looks great. the rest of the game, not so much. its a very mediocre looking title in 2022. But then again, so are 90% of the games on that list.Some caves and underground locations look amazing

This attitude isnt helping anyone. ;p
Yes.
I agree, I loved the look of Ragnarok. Superb looking game and I loved the scale.Sure,, but for Ragnarok not to make top 10 is pretty funny considering how many cross gen games are on that list. GoWR is sitll one of the most visually impressive games released this year. I’d say its on the same level of Plague Tale but far better designed
Gameplay > graphics, but he didn't answer the question. You don't rant about how graphics are more important when someone is asking a question specifically about graphics. He's a known Xbox fanboy on this forum and I'm sure he wanted to rant about HFW because the visuals was getting a lot of praise recently.
This guy represents the average undergrown manbaby who thinks everyone plays games for the same reason or that there's right and wrong preferences, he is stupid, and needs constant validation.
He loves to pretend he is not a mega fanboy because he "owns all the systems" but he never lets a moment go by where he tells people how he never switches his PS5 on, how it is gathering dust, he would rather wait 2 years to play a game on his Xbox, or how a Sony game is shit or overrated. I've never seen somebody so unaware of his own bias.
It is an opinion, and one I disagree with in this instance.The sentiment expressed is correct.
It is, but it's also not answering the question. Just a cursory glance at his previous tweets makes his intentions pretty clear.The sentiment expressed is correct.
Oh no, you're here again to defend your Xbox friends.The sentiment expressed is correct.
It's a simple question. Graphics. Graphics technology. He's not asking about gameplay.
I live rent-free in your head because you keep following me around.
The sentiment expressed is correct.
This is a league above anything else out there right now. Especially considering this is an open world game.
I was in the camp that thought GOWR didn't look that much better... until I went back and looked at 2018. We all suffer from remembering things "better" than they were. In my minds eye... the TLOU pt.1 looked like the remake version when I played it on PS3 LOL but clearly when looking at them side by side, I was dead wrong. I think GOWR looks pretty damn good and I'm surprised it didn't make the list at all... I've played Unbound, it doesn't "look" better than GOWR.
Yes, yes, yes Horizon Forbidden West is frick'n gorgeous....keep'em comin...
Damn, these look like real-life photos of wildlife at a glance.
