Honestly...
At this point I have from Thursday and the following week off to play this.
But im really starting to worry with these screenshots, I want my PS5 games to look current gen, this looks like a PS5 port of a PS4 game.
I have a pro so it will look the best its going too at launch, so only way to know for sure.

Yeah judge the final product.
Are you for real? Ghost's isn't going for the realism that AC Shadows is. Your budget and resources make a huge difference in the audio visual department. I don't expect a game made on a fraction of the budget and with a fraction of the developers to have the same technical audio visual quality as something like AC Shadows. Ghost's is a stylised game.
Again let's see the final product.
You are right, lets see the final product. But, they are marketing what they are marketing and it is fair to judge what we are seeing based on what we are showing. Your proposing a world where no one discusses anything at all until something is actually released. It is fair to judge what we are seeing because that's what they are showing.

Just don't buy it. It's simple don't reward them if in your opinion the game isn't visually good enough for you.

Can now load millions of question marks more on the map. The possibilities for repetitive busy work is endless.

The access woke gaming press worked very hard through the years to loose all their credibility ... so they should be very proud of this outcome

There's discussion and then there is Gaf. If your a visuals whore then AC Shadows will be right up your street. Looks spectacular. You don't even need to worry about this game being technically a PS4 game.
Graphics are only one aspect of a game. They are not the be end of all when it comes to the final finished product.
How are you not getting how online discourse works? If all they are showing are boring gameplay videos and what we see is visual marketing, of course the discourse is going to be about the games visuals. If Sony wanted to change the discourse, they could've hands on demoed the game at Gamescom. When all they do is give us visual marketing, people are going to dissect and poke holes in those visuals. Maybe the game plays amazingly and improves on the rigidness and clunkiness of the first, but we won't know that at this point so theres no point, but we do know how it looks at this point.

Well...
AC shadow development cost was like around $116m almost 120m. Yotei is 60m almost half. Death stranding 1 was around $100m don't know about DS2 more than that? Spiderman 2 was around $300-315m. I suppose maybe the budget could affect that generational leap too.

Only thing that really matters to me is the general player reception in aggregate, and seeing extended gameplay footage than short snippets in marketing where they mow through enemies.
I don't care about "critic" reviews, when so many will hand out an 8/10 to slop, and very often AAA cinematic titles seem to do better even if the gameplay is ho-hum.
Just hoping the increased variety of content in the open-world is good quality, and I might pick up at some point.

And you were saying?????
Games in development aren't going to look amazing right off the bat. If you actually knew about actual games development you'd know the spit and polish comes right at the end of development.
Are you an actual moron? If a company releases footage that looks unimpressive and we aren't happy with it, that's fine. The final game being more polished doesn't change the fact that I (we) felt they showed lackluster footage leading up to it.
you think you got one over on me? "IF YuO aCtuAlLy knew aBouT actUAl gAMe deVEloPmEnt."

You should ask yourself that question as it's more apt.
The fact you were convinced it looked a poor game due to the in-developement footage released. It's not exactly rocket science to know the game would look far better when finished due to the game being on PS5 and coming from SP.
But you couldn't help yourself like others shitting on the game and now trumpeting that it's Sony's fault for showing poor in-developement footage.
Meanwhile I'll enjoy my PS4 quality graphics game.
When people said it was a ps5 title, I can't believe it. It can run easily in a gameboy, with some adjustment.Lighting in their engine seriously needs a major overhaul. It looks okay in certain parts, but there are many sections when the weather or climate changes; it looks barely above the PS3 era graphically.
All the power to you. I'll enjoy it when it's sub $30. If the game cost half the budget of other $70 AAA games (and to me it still shows) then I'll pay half the price.

By that logic, all Nintendo games (small teams in underpaid labour market, Japan) with the exception of MP4 cost peanuts to produce and should be sold at sub 20$ price.
Not gonna get into a whataboutism console war argument, but that all depends on what is being presented and what the content of the game is. For example we are comparing two triple AAA open world action games that have a lot of similarities.
