Some Avatar gifs. Im honestly blown away by how consistently beautiful this game looks. During day time, night time when all plants start glowing, during rain and storms. Their weather tech is basically what ghost of tsushima promised but thanks to physics being applied to pretty much all foliage here, it helps the world feel so much more dynamic. wind effects are great too.
But what surprised me the most was how beautiful every single area looks so far. I have no idea wtf these previews were playing but this is by far the most consistently good looking game ive played this gen. I must have played for like 2 hours walking from one mission to another and I was continuously encountering areas like these.
BTW, those bamboo like plants are fully destructible. ran into a rhino nearby and he started chasing me destroying everything in its path like in the movies. The fire effects arent like far cry 2 unfortunately but if you use explosives in these places, plants, leaves and branches all fall down from trees creating the illusion of destruction.
The hdr black level raise hurts the night time a bit, and the ray traced water looks way too grainy probably because im using medium RT reflections instead of ultra, but aside from those two complaints, this is as good as it gets.
