Wait.... are those shots CGI from the new film?Its not even cherry picked at this point lol, they just cut out zoomed in compressed youtube video's. If you need to do all that shit, it tells you enough about how good CP2077 looks lol.
And now in gameplay without the Insomniac photoshoped promoshots.
Because Rasterization has become excellent at rendering direct lighting. Its the indirrect lit dynamic scenes that pathtracing improves the most.
Those rocks in the background look copy and pasted from Skyrim.And just to give starfield it's props. It can look damn great. Something that vids and low res doesn't do justice.
It will be UE6 with a heavy focus on physics like voxel based dynamic fluid sim etc...
We are only at the beginning stages in terms of implementing RT/PT in realtime. There is plenty of room for improvement. New research papers about improving/optimising RT&PT and adjacent technologies are being released all the time.
The game is not some crazy next gen graphics showcase but I genuinely think it looks good. Even very good with HDR.
On ps6/next xbox (not that joke of a refresh that leaked where they take away disc drive and keep same price lol) rt wont be as expensive, back in the days anti aliasing solutions were crazy expensive too, and games to look semi not blurry had to use msaax4 or even x8, nowadays its basically almost free, just need to live long enough where hardware catches up to software =D
Yeah that movie looked crazy good at the time. I mean it still looks hella good today, it’s one of my favorite movies actually. I love futuristic scifi cities like that and always wanted a game to resemble FE. I thought CP was gonna be it but alas it wasn’t. Once we reach graphics similar to their latest cinematic trailer that Gymwolf posted last week then that’s when my dream of playing in a proper futuristic city that looks fantastic comes true.
They have finally got you brotherOk, just tried Cyberpunk. At first, i was like yeah, thats the game i remember, but then i turned on path tracing with ray reconstruction and wow. I honestly dont know if its a massive difference from regular RT, but it does look magnificent at times. There are some lighting conditions in this game that look straight up CG. The blurry look of path tracing at 1440p dlss balanced is pretty much gone and now it looks like a 1440p image. it must be the ray reconstruction at work.
also, The game's hdr doesnt get enough lol. without hdr, it looks underwhelming. The NPC animations, and overall asset modeling is still fairly last gen, but when you are driving around and looking at the buildings and neon signs, its an incredible sight. Best looking game out there.
Here are some path tracing and regular ray tracing comparisons. The biggest difference is in shadows.

My 7yo daughter everytime I ask her to smile for a picture.
They did the actress big unjustice, she is actually cute af ( i might be quite biased here since she has polish roots
)Yah same. Between Blade Runner, BTTF2 , Judge Dredd, Fifth Element and Coruscant I have been simply obsessed with getting my flying car in dense traffic in a sky scraping city on. I do think the aesthetics of Art Deco old New York architecture meets sci fi city they presented in FE to be the peak of the aesthetic. Hoping someone in Dreams comes through on a game prototype.Yeah that movie looked crazy good at the time. I mean it still looks hella good today, it’s one of my favorite movies actually.

Ahh you mention flying cars, been a dream of mine since I was a kid to play a game with flying cars. We are in 2023 and we still do not have that. A city like CP with even longer towers, cranes, more density and stuff and flying cars would be the dream. Blade Runner is a good shout, too. A game based off of that would be sweet.
Speaking of creating maps 1:1, I wonder if it is feasible to, say, create a 1:1 city in games like GTA for example creating a 1:1 scale of LA. The game will probably have terabytes of data but I wonder if we will get there one day. Though imagine driving from point A to point B in the game and it being an actual half an hour ride, lol.
This looks mighty impressive actually. Not too shabby!The First Descendant is impressing the fuck out of me graphically. It's using UE5 and on my 4090 it's really eye popping
The character models and environments are extremely detailed. This is the kin of graphics I expect this gen. I've played it on my PS5 too and it looks really good there as well although not as sharp resolution wise.
My guy you have been bouncing between pathtracing being mid and not worth it compared to medium level rt and now to this, that being said I have to agree PT has a distinct look that is simply special if you have the option for it.Ok, just tried Cyberpunk.

Looks pretty good from what i have seen. Its not Overdrive quality but it still looks amazing and has its moments.
Yes you need the base game for the DLC.
Probably because the game also bounces between looking great to looking really rough. It also doesnt help that ray reconstruction is either bugged or doesnt work all the time because im now seeing more ghosting than ever.
I've taken quite a lot of shots comparing ULTRA Raster, to Max RT(overdrive). Both DLSS balanced at 4k.
The difference is staggering in some examples.
Full set here:
You will have to figure out which one is which.
If you open each image in different tab and switch between, the difference is huge.
Btw - New cars with guns are awesome. You can even fire misslies from that police apc
My 2 fav ones:
Jesus, this one I saw it too on the new DF video and had to take a screenshot, it looks bonkers.
I think RT will always be more expensive though, its just what it is. there is no approximating path tracing, its path tracing. Just look at whats happened with ps5 first party games. We all said that cerny will figure out some magic rt solution. he didnt. we all hoped that sony first party studios will figure out RT optimization. they didnt. ND, GG, Bluepoint, PD, SSM all shipped without RT. BP and PD even advertised RT but either took it out of the game or couldnt get it to work during gameplay. Insomniac is literally the only first party studio thats doing RT and they are sticking with RT reflections. Metro exodus and Control were doing so much more with RT in 2019 because they had access to better hardware.
Tempting
Fuck.
Graphical Fidelity I Expect NEXT Gen:
no, but you have to play it to reach Phantom Liberty missions. And yes the base game is also updated graphically since its on the same map. but the map is epxanded and they made some adjustments on the older map.
At this point we should just rename the thread to something like “CP 2077 jizz fest” or somethingGraphical Fidelity I Expect NEXT Gen:
Outside of Insomniac Games and the folks who did "Returnal," most of Sony's first party studios haven't shipped a proper PS5 games yet.
The highest fidelity gif I've ever seen.....
