I don't see anything current gen here. Last gen hair, no RT reflections (just saw SSR in puddles), baked lighting (?), low res shadows and so on. Looks barely better than 2022 Ragnarok
(that looked barely better than PS4 GOW2018).
 
I had to fucking leave half way and saw bits and pieces of Faye on my phone. Looks upgraded, but not a major leap? Will have to watch again tonight, but not having much hope.

Fuck me. Only ND left…

Please at least make a next gen patch to overhaul your lighting systems, Sony. Might be 2 years before I get around to these games anyway. lol.

the models are visibly improved, I´ll give them that. Environmental assets and textures seem to be about the same.
The indirect lighting is garbage, so if there is any RT at play here it`s very very low quality.
All in all this could`ve been a Ragnarok DLC from a visual standpoint.

Faye looks amazing don't disappointed
 
Definitely better than the rest of Sony's non-UE5 projects. Santa Monica is just ahead Insomniac.

This moment was insane at 4K/60fps, even on YouTube.

Many cool designs and creatures, Barlog games are always so imaginative.

This one with image quality and performance looks ahead above ue5 and just how Insane Faye model upgraded over her model on previous frame titles

I'm very excited about the technology leap coming up on PS6 with a multifaceted array of efficiency gains and the passing of certain thresholds in making them viable; things I don't think most people are really cottoning on to and appreciating because of all the doomerism...I am however concerned about whether all that many devs will actually show up and try to do anything with it, particularly with the bulk of Sony's own devs being absolute D-Tier for damn near this entire generation.

I tend to agree with you most of the time but I am afraid the vwhole concept is uninteresting,
the art direction and characters look lackluster [if not downright ludicrous], visually not anything special by current gen standards
the set piece was ok but we have already seen Kratos do the same thing, nothing that beats GOD3 in terms of scale
the animations look janky and childish

all in all it is not a good look for Sony

I was wholy impressed. Gonna look immaculate on an OLED. Good signs for Intergalactic, should look even better

HB2 had more interesting combat and moves, higher quality animations, and let's not even discuss the visuals
and I am a Sony fan through and through

Wolverine looks so underwhelming, but liked a lot the brutality. Such a difference afterwards seeing Tomb Raider, which looks good, nothing amazing, the visual strength will be on PC. Also, Lara looks fucking good.
 
Faye game is definitely a step up. I don't think the environmental lighting of the level showed what it will look like at its best. Combat animations were smooth af
you might be right about the lighting [in cutscenes]
but I personally think those floaty, disjointed, janky animations are just ridiculous
 
Ill looks fantstic as usual.

tomb raider look decent i guess, i was expecting a bit better.

only watched 15 sec of gow cutscene and it look...decent?

need to watch the entire trailer and wolverine.
 
You guys are so harsh on this one which looks amazing this gow ragnarok

Low res picture?

Faye model in Ragnarok was weak because she was in the game for like... 5 minutes.

Here's a couple of my own shots of when I played God of War 2018:

And a few of my own shots of God of War Ragnarok:

YouTube compression or not, God of War Laufey is doing virtually nothing to set itself apart from the previous games, visually speaking.

I don't know, I thought GOW looked at least decent. Not talking about her aesthetically, but when she wakes up she looks so good, the lighting and colors gave me a photorealistic vibe.

I mean, this scene looks good, no matter the rest of it.

Exactly, it's in the same ballpark. Old ass engine is holding them back.

How on the fuck this looks the same as ragnarok

Compare above pictures to those Faye looks gen ahead

These two shots do look really good. Still not "generational leap" good, but really good.


The rest you could've told me were from Ragnarok and I'd 100% believe you.

The enviroment in the fight arena looked awful, cutscenes in prior parts of the trailer were a lot better. Huge quality difference between the first half and the second, well more like 60% and 40%, but i dig the designs and animations.

They absolutely shouldnt have shown the final sequence, how could they let this through?

Hair looks fabulous

Oh and this is NOT Cory Barlog's game - He's probably doing something with Kratos.

hair is definitely next gen. i dont think this kind of game needs rt reflections. lighting is fine too. alan wake 2 also had baked lighting.

this to me looks way better than the ragnorak forest. way more foliage and way better indirect lighting and ao.

Same scene here show the engine upgrades

Everything in that scene is a reused asset and not just from Ragnarok :)
then the least they could do was to provide modest upgrades.
the scene does look better but games from much earlier this generation have had far better lighting and visuals, facial and combat animations [even random NPCs in HFW's [an open world game!} would blow you away in all these aspects
