It looks like an oil painting. Absolutely beautiful! I think these realistic looking games with a bit of stylization and good lighting/shadows thrown in always feel better to me than games that go for a 1:1 look in photorealism. It feels alive instead of just looking real.You guys are crazy, in motion, on the PRO, this game is going to look like a goddamn painting.
Phenomenal.
ChiefDada im with you
The only other city is from watch dogs 3.
The point was that nd is vastly better than both (in theory).
I love the art and overall visuals, but man, I wanted a little more realism
Yeah, nah
Isn't vaseline look caused by the image being soft? (Even on pc)
It is not. I regularly play RDR2 near maxed out at 4K DLSS, and there’s no “shine” not “Vaseline” to speak of. It is, to this day, one of the best, most realistic looking games ever made, with some of the best draw distances and skyboxes in a game, some of the best texture work and surfaces in a game, as well as lighting and overall image quality.
Huh? RDR2 has fantastic shaders. This GOT2 horse shaders looks like shit for 2024.
Your memories fine. People are letting there hype for a new GOT delude them.Isn't vaseline look caused by the image being soft? (Even on pc)
Color wise it doesn't look overly shiny
I thought the game had more natural colors than most games tbh.
Is my memory that badly fucked?
There are way better looking parts of the game as well, I'm sure you are aware.The first game was very overrated. It looked like this
The only great looking thing about part 1 was the grass, and foilage in general.
This absolutely does not look a gen ahead at all, similar to how less of a graphical jump there was between Spider-Man to Spider-Man 2. We shall see but hoping for the best.
I'm gonna cry like a bitch if they still use precanned dogshit animations for kills instead of a tlou2 dynamic system...
Now THAT I agree with
Prepare to cry like a bitch. The final few shots of the trailer show sword animations and takedowns and its the same exact animations from the first game.
something on new hardware being a "notable improvement" over a last gen product is such a low bar, though.

that we`d probably have been better off if everybody would have just adopted UE5 this gen......
It's sony samurai assassins creed, so an ac game with better combat (if you like parry style over souls light, i don't) and slightly better plot, i think that both bayek and kassandra are way more charming characters than jin but tsushi has better side characters by far (mostly bow master and old lady).
Overall it's really pretty average imho. The game is beautiful and has nice combat, but the open world design is really rote and feels ancient, even for last gen, and imho the story is not really interesting despite some nice moments.
I didn't wanted to say that to not sound too negative on the game, but that's what i thought aswell tbh.
I will say that the art style and some particularly good content like the legends tales are worth a 7, 6 is more outlaws\valhalla territory imo.
It’s properly alright, with some genuinely cool moments sprinkled throughout, and tons of flair. If you’re a fan of samurais and ninjas, or just ancient Japanese culture like I am, then it’s a solid samurai game. It doesn’t break any ground, and the combat and movement are both a little wonky/janky, but ultimately a fun time.
Yes, it's a great game with a great combat system and the same great sony storytelling you cant get anywhere else. At least not at this level of fidelity.
I always wondered what the fuck is the ICE team doing if they don't even share tech between studios.
The new Lead Core tech at Guerrilla was previously focused on loading and streaming systems so it would be surprising if improvements on this aspect are not planned for their next game. Maybe we'll already see this on Sunday with DS 2 if we see more gameplay.This is disappointing. The HZD remake has the same amazing character models and near field detail but the same trash draw distance despite being a PS5 only title. Compare it to Avatar, Star Wars Outlaws and even Ghost of Tsushima and its clear that GG just cant figure out how to push the draw distance. Resorting instead to hide everything with fog.
Love how good this character model looks during gameplay though.
DS2 has the draw distance and improved faces but the asset quality and geometry is still dated compared to UE5.
Are face really noticeably improved or it's just a matter of famous actors just looking more real than made up faces, the brain make more of a connection with something that actually exist.

, I had hoped the last half of the gen, after crossgen ended would see a return to 30fps and pushing fidelity to the max like every generation before, but after the pro reveal and hearing Cerny talk it’s clear to me the 60fps crowd won and Sony’s boner for 60fps will never go away now. For better or worse.

was right about Forbidden West, according to Digital Foundry, performance mode on Pro is visually better than fidelity mode on PS5 but obviously runs at 60 FPS. That's interesting to know that Guerrilla has developed a completely new anti-aliasing reconstruction method that looks incredibly impressive that they will be using in future titles.Forbidden West with FFVII seems to be the most impressive game running on Pro.
There is lots to like here. I went softer on graphics last year while everyone here gave me shit for finding star wars, ff16, starfield and spiderman 2 impressive and next gen at times. I just think that we all expected Sony studios to blow away ubisoft's efforts with AC shadows and Star wars outlaws, but it seems to be roughly on par with both games. With some strengths and weakness, no big Matrix Awakens, Wukong, Hellblade 2 or Marvel's 1943 leap we were expecting from sony studios.I dunno maybe I’m softer on ghosts of Yotei because I’ve recalibrated my expectations for graphics this gen and especially from Sony first party studios
Previously, like
You can have a generational leap, or you can have 60fps, you can’t have both unless the console cost $1000+. So given that they’ve gone with the latter, essentially rendering the PS5 a 5-6 tflop machine, this is about what I expect. Maybe ND will push technical boundaries a little more but uhhh yeah, Demon Souls, Yotei, Spider-Man 2, I think this is as good as it gets until the PS6 guys. These are 60fps games, souped up for fidelity mode.
No chance for the next nd game to be at 60, them and rockstar are still gonna use the good ol 30fps lock.I dunno maybe I’m softer on ghosts of Yotei because I’ve recalibrated my expectations for graphics this gen and especially from Sony first party studios

GTA 6 sure, ND? I dunno man. These PlayStation studios have lost their way, they won’t lead graphics anymore like they did. I think ND will do 60FPS on their next game.
