not even close.
I have absolutely no doubt that a gigantic open world with hell on screen that push a lot of city simulation with countless npcs on screen is not gonna have the granular detail of wukong or hb2, money and manpower can only get you that far.
*If you have that unannounced nVidia graphics card.
The character models are stylized, so they don’t look photo realistic - but I’d argue they ultimately look better in a crowd than say: walking around in the matrix demo with all the metahumans
I wasn’t ever impressed by it much, that area with the robot screams “60 FPS” game, though the lighting & reflections (look to be Ray Traced) looked phenomenal, but yeah overall I’m not really impressed…
Everyone should be. You can make killer realtime cinematics within UE5 nowadays like we saw from Marvel's 1943. But they went out of their way to not just pre-render it but also pre-render it on a 5090. Clearly leveraging some kind of new path tracing tech only available on that GPU.
Curious, ill probably get clowned on for saying this, but id be pretty disappointed if the game ends up looking like the trailer. Hoping for a decent upgrade because it looked roughly in line with most UE5 games ive played, except with much better lightning.
It’s always funny when I see comments like this criticizing others for not liking a trailer for an upcoming game, I don’t think you’d use the same language if we were happy & hyped about it, you wouldn’t say “some of you thrive on too much positivity & happiness. It’s ridiculous.”
At the end of 2022, meaning 2 years ago, only 25% of their total staff was allocated to Polaris, and that was pre-production.
that still means they had a couple of hundreds devs working on it even back then. I am sorry but i dont understand how hundreds of developers can work on a game for 4 years and not have any gameplay to show. Or have to create a pre-rendered trailer from scratch instead of taking one from the game. it took them 2.5 years to make TLOU2 after launching Uncharted Lost Legacy and they were hacked, had to do rewrites and reshoots after the awful focus testing on Abby's levels and saw a final 2 month delay due to covid. CDPR made two massive expansions for Witcher 3 and still shipped Cyberpunk in 5 years.At the end of 2022, meaning 2 years ago, only 25% of their total staff was allocated to Polaris, and that was pre-production.
Now in 2024 they have 400 allocated to Polaris which is ~66%
Hey I’m not complaining, gives us proper next-gen visuals now, I’ll be there.
They completed the bulk of pre-production for the entire saga between 2022 and now. Why? Their plan is to release all three games of the new saga within six years of W4's release. I imagine the new saga will have a more connected story, and they want to avoid long gaps between games.
I think Xbox Studios now have that title, honestly, at least over PlayStation’s current line up, what with Flight Sim ‘24, Hellblade 2, Stalker 2, Indiana Jones (yes, Indiana Jones), and more like DOOM Dark Ages, Expedition 33 and Avowed coming up.
That's because of the animations that make them believable, not because they are actually more detailed.
Depends when it comes out, for this gen, it's incredible, for nextgen, i'm gonna riot if that is not the baseline graphic for every AAA.
Like what?
That "yes indiana jones" would sound much more badass and authoritary if you didn't also included remilk part 2 between fucking wukong and anal wake 2, one definitely doesn't look like the others dude, just saying
If you didn't know that the guy was full of shit after the bit about ue5 being stable and great for open worlds, it's kinda on you
Not that I fully disagree with you on this, but just a couple of things.
Really? Every time i watch some footage i see the most retarded ai since redfall, super basic stealth mechanics and clunky ass combat, where they are exactly getting on par with sony best gameplay exactly? Even the puzzles seems mostly pretty easy from the comments on the ot.
honestly, i had no issues with the matrix aside from some cpu related drops that were fixed in UE5.4.If you didn't know that the guy was full of shit after the bit about ue5 being stable and great for open worlds, it's kinda on you
I love the engine, but it's probably not the best choice if you want something super stable for a massive open world.
It's simply an excellent single player game. I hate immersive sims because they are boring. This game is anything but. World is well designed and full of side quests and secrets to find like sony's action adventure game pre-open world era. I am still early in the game but it's a breath of fresh air after playing nothing but crap all year. Kinda like Silent Hill 2 which felt like playing a PS2 or PS3 game, but in a good way. Game looked awfully boring in videos but playing it feels completely different. It honestly might be my GOTY.
SlimySnake
is right about the RE engine
Ah okay, wasn’t aware that this wasn’t under the MS umbrella.
Yes, they are working on it.. What's important, some of those optimisations will land in the main branch of UE, so the rest of devs can benefit from it.
Nothing phenomenal about that if you take into account that every reveal Naughty Dog ever did was always touched up bullshot trailers. Also, it's no surprise they're targeting 60fps, all Sony studios are doing that because they haven't invested in the next generation tech on the level of Unreal. Decima is the inly one so far that seems to have had serious investment. I'm sure the game will still look solid and Naughty Dog are very good at animations, but nothing about that trailer blew anyone away like what Naughty Dog did in the past (even though their reveals have always had elements of pre-rendered graphics).
I am not with you in models and environment but we will see when gta vi released in the end for me currently both rage and ue5 are the top of industry
So this is what it feels like to read my pessimistic posts. Fuck, I feel like shit right now lmao.
I have the opposite feeling, game look super boring compared to a proper immersive sim like prey or dishonored.
Matrix is a tech demo tho, it lacks a lot of things that make a complete game, and of course on pc w4 is gonna run good on high end hardware, but is it gonna be a stable engine on console?
We are gonna eat good either way, that's for sure.
I'm just glad we have a new onimusha, i stopped believing in re engine years ago so i'm not surprised one bit.ok , upon further inspection ...
as for Intergallatica, I think ND had better step up their game
they have a lot to prove if they wish to stay at the top
I liked the trailer but there was nothing extraordinary about it.
Dude, no reason to feel down, we're in a fifth year of this generation and we can count on one hand games that have had generational leaps. Even with some of those games we can call "next gen" there are still some elements that are stuck in the past. It's not us that have become pessimistic in our view of games, it's the industry that has completely stalled this gen and publishers have become miserly penny pinchers.
I would argue that wukong looks much better than re4r or onimusha while being almost open world size at times.
i mean yes wukong or ue5 games look better but that game needs a monster rig.
Username checks out.
Capcom are selling you last gen looking games with last gen animations and charging you more money. Nah dude, they can go and stuff themselves with that strategy.
I loved when we got 10 min vertical slices to get hyped a couple of years before release tbh.
Of course, only thing that looked great was the lighting & the RT reflections, but ND does have a history of bullshotting their 1st reveals, even if that was bullshot, it didn't impress me much, only the RT effects looked good I guess with the art style ND is known for.
Maybe it will be 60fps on Pro on 30fps on base?
You and others on here are the reason why I am here lol. I adore this thread.
TW4 was pre-rendered.
