Thats my GOAT right there, look at her shineShared this in the DF thread but sharing here as well for those that appreciate it:
Image quality is absolutely jaw dropping at 4k/DLAA/max settings:
Holding damn near a locked 120fps so far on my rig as well.
you need a 4070 Super to get base PS5 performance in TLOU2.
One thing the PS5 remaster did to TLOU2 was fix the awful texture upscaling of the 1440p PS4 Pro version. 4k textures have way better range especially on clothes which looked like a garbled mess even on PS5 before the ps5 upgrade.Shared this in the DF thread but sharing here as well for those that appreciate it:

It’s a pussycat honestly. You can genuinely set your PC up to act as a giant console these days, just with the ability to do more stuff on it.
I thought Alex said you needed a 4070 Super to get performance close to the Base PS5's performance mode. Weird.
Not bad tbh, Last gen territory but at least not ps2 quality like donkey kong and mario kart.
What is this?Best looking switch 2 game
I Have no doubt the Art direction, Combat and Animtion will all be Vastly superior to ACS.Is it just me or does this look really dated after playing AC Shadows?
I wonder if youtube compression is doing its thing. I am willing to give it a shot of course, but this looks cross gen to me.
Shinen's Switch 2 game. They also made one of the best-looking Switch 1 games, Fast RMX, at a solid framerate.
While those stones look good, the rocks overall, dont look as good as nanite rocks, but I really like the materials on the wooden houses. They can look absolutely stunning in some time of day settings. Went to a shrine on the eastern coast of Kii and my goodness, red paint on those wood just popped off the screen. I think Japan is just a marvel to behold. Beautiful streams, forests, trees, architecture, and homes. Every game should be set there lol.Love these stones here
If they dont want to be an underrated developer, they need to stop making wipeout games that were outdated and forgotten by the end of the PS2 era.Shinen's Switch 2 game. They also made one of the best-looking Switch 1 games, Fast RMX, at a solid framerate.
Unfortunately they're a talented underrated developer who doesn't get much attention.
Yep the PC version of GOT looked alot better than I expected.Is this from the University dorm area in TLOU1? Honestly, the only good looking screenshot of the lot.
I played TLOU1 on PC maxed out. And a little bit on the Pro. played TLOU2 PS5 remaster both on the PS5 at native 4k and on the Pro using PSSR. Outdoors in some levels it can pass for a next gen game. Indoors is another story. I do not know why the interiors dont pass the eye test and outdoor areas do. I had figured it was due to the lack of electricity and ND having to rely on indirect lighting from peaking in from outside, but if baking takes day and is literally using offline rendering then why doesnt it look as good as the same time of day/grey skies lighting interiors properly in SH2.
it's a great game. story is way better than shadows, and combat has its own twist thanks to the three different stances. you will have fun with the gameplay even if the graphics dont hold up all that well.
play on PC on your 3080. They vastly improved the foliage draw distance. The PS5 remaster does not do this and its a big knock against the visuals. Trust me you dont want the game looking like this.
I agree with most of your take, but instead I think they should drop racing games entirely and make a shooter that's a graphical showcase for Switch 2, like what Killzone was 2/3 for PS3 or like The Order was for PS4.
Art is subjective, combat may be, but the first one didn't impress me at all, all fights where enemies attacking me one at a time, this is one of the reasons I dropped it, so if they improve that I'm all for it.
Of course it isn't at the level of nanite, also textures up close are a bit poor, it's more a combination of color, time of day and GI that for me gives them a photorealistic look.
Looks waaaaaay better than the switch 1 version. Surprised
U dont need to know about shaders, im willing to bet 90%+ pc players even if they heard the word somewhere cant explain what it is
I am going to buy the Switch 2 but I was thinking a year or two after its release, but when I saw Miyazaki’s new game The Duskbloods exclusive I said to myself “Alright, Switch 2 day one” I’m a sucker for From Software games, also DK Bananza looks fantastic.
Fast Fusion. The guys who are making it are known to be very good at pushing hardware to the max. They also made Fast RMX for Switch 1. Why they limit themselves to singular console is something I'll never know though.
Guess this is our Killzone moment? Inferior when it comes to animations and cinematography due to being crossgen, of course...
I get what you’re saying but Mario Kart World is running at native 1440p 60fps if you didn’t know, one would argue that running it at 1440p is a waste of GPU power but that’s their rendering target, and it looks fantastic, the ones that say it looks like a PS2 game are absolutely delusional & should go seek mental help immediately. I get being disappointed, but let's not get crazy...
It technically does have a visual jump (someone even posted MK8 Emulation pics with AA in another topic here to point it out), just on a Switch-specific graphical timeline.
Maybe they don't have graphics like Uncharted 4 and such but Zelda Links Aweakening still looked very good on an old system like Switch 1.
If the ceiling continues to raise everywhere else, wouldn't a game with PS4 level graphics in 2030 technically be cheaper to produce?
He’s a habitual excuser. He feels compelled to make excuses for cross Gen games. Did that all the time earlier this gen. Now he’s doing the same with Nintendo games.
I’ve watched more MK World footage and I’m honestly impressed by what they did, levels are substantially bigger in size & scope compared to MK8 & scene geometry is much more complex & denser, lighting is better, models & even effects like explosions (Blue shell explosion) look much more “next-gen” you could say, they have PBR-looking materials, I don’t think MK8 had that, of course it’s not a generational leap over MK8 but it’s still a good appreciative leap nonetheless, all that with 24 cars on screen with more expressive character animations apparently, running at native 1440p 60fps according to Digital Foundry’s preliminary pixel counts.
It's not a full generation, RDNA2 and Ampere are equals just in case. I thought the geometry was the worst offender compared to the boost everything else got, tracks have no tesselation outright.
Why don’t you count HB2?
Art direction is very pleasing, but technically it could be better. This is judging by the trailer. Hopefully it looks as good as this trailer and RTGI is implemented.Is it just me or does this look really dated after playing AC Shadows?

Yes I agree, by generation I meant PS5 processing power is vastly more powerful than Switch 2 still.
First two shots are from the CGI intro cutscene
They are both overrated 7/10 games, you are gonna feel at home after shadows.
And you ask that in a topic about graphic fidelity?
Yeah, John's excuses are getting lamer and lamer. DF is supposed to critique videogame graphics, instead they are now a platform for making excuses for publishers and developers. As long as your game is not a stuttering mess and doesn't have serious technical issues then you get a free pass from these guys.
Yes, but the end product still looks pretty impressive because the art direction is impeccable. The game also has very good texture work and really pops. I'm definitely not a Nintendo fanboy as my posts here show, but Prime 4 looks very impressive given the fact that it's a cross gen game. Mario Kart and new DK game look terrible though for Switch 2 exclusives. MK geometry is especially poor.
The art direction is decent but it's crazy to see such basic things missing on the rendering side
