Ghost of Yotei dev details technical leap on PS5 (can now load millions of assets)

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.

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.

Because we are the ones that have to fork over the money for the product so it's fair for us to judge it?


As a consumer I don't care how many people developed a game when you're charging the same price for it. If one $70 AAA game looks worse technically than another $70 AAA game, it's fair to call it out.
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.

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.

But I do think the game doesn't have a generational leap like Ac shadows. Same for Death stranding 2, Spiderman 2.
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."
