Graphical Fidelity I Expect This Gen

Nah, im talking about the grainyness of the picture. Its too noisy, especially the effects
Maybe i need to watch it on the big screen, small screens always tend to improve the iq.

Even fable look pristine in the tablet and that one was much worse quality :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

What do we think fellas??
Really looking forward to the combat in this one. Graphics are solid enough, but I'm seeing a lot of pixelation artifacts and graininess throughout the trailer. With all of the particles and effects they're using in the game, image quality might end up being pretty poor.

I just hope the control scheme is not as complicated as someone said, i heard that you have palm strikes on r3 and l3, and if you use these often, those buttons are faaar from ideal.

Captured on PS5 Pro. PSSR cant handle certain particle effects.

DLSS should handle them better on PC. Still, very impressive showing on consoles. The 1GB source trailer is pristine.

Here are couple of gifs showing the different lighting conditions that show up late in the game in Mafia. yes, golden hour lighting looks great in every game, but i really like the new volumetric effects. Also, this is perhaps the first UE5 open world game with a dense forest. And it looks really good. Shame how they only briefly take you for a short mission.

Looks better than most western dev studio games, including most ps5 exclusives lool :D
I think most western devs have delivered great graphics this gen. Sony studios are the exception, not the norm. What most western studios havent done is produce great next gen gameplay. Or great gameplay in general.

Bluepoint started the gen out strong with demon souls, insomniac followed with a pretty decent Ratchet game though they did take a step back with spiderman 2. Asobo studios made Flight Sim in 2021 and Plague's tale in 2022, both stunners. Cyberpunk, Callisto and HFW were cross gen but they all looked absolutely insane. Respawn did a great job with jedi survivor, performance notwithstanding. Remedy with Alan Wake 2, Massive with Avatar, Teyon with Robocop, Ninja Theory with HB2, Bloober with SH2, and plenty more since.

What this game is doing is showing Western devs that you can do more than just DLC feeling sequels or Games with safe last gen ideas. They have ambition simply missing from Western studios. People are hating on it because its trying to do so many different things but since when is variety a bad thing? I swear most open world games are a 100 hours long nowadays and after the first 10 hours you are literally repeating content 10 time over. id rather fly a dragon than play some dumb card game every fucking western studio insists on adding in their dumb game.
