'resting on their laurels' is something that sucker punch's never done, even with their sequels. that they've now obviously chosen to do so after finding success with what's easily their most unimaginative game is, to me, just one more facet of what's gone wrong with the current 'state of play'...
that list is something I'd have safely put into "concern trolling" in every gen before this one. Can't believe that's actually reality now....
its is ?? whats the point of nextgen fidelity if you cant see all the glory of it ??? its like watching japanese porn, the good part is blurred outbetter to be blurry and push nextgen fidelity
rather than be sharp and stuck with lastgen fidelity
you know we could've 4k 60 fps ps3 graphics with ps4
thankfully we had 1080p 30 fps last of us part 2
it is blurry though. but not necessarily the problem with the actual internal resolution. it is rather the problem with the upscaling method being used. same internal resolution with PSSR or DLSS should look MUCH better. i wish ps5 and xbox series x were equipped with proper high quality upscalers from the start
Keighley got it. check back on friday.
Surprised to read stuff like this. Especially recently considering we've gotten reveals for GTA6, Mafia 4, and Witcher 4.
switch 2 dlss run cyberpunk 120 fps best PS5 pro derstoys steemdeck oled annnnd ps4 pro better dlss thens fssr series s crud ahahaha ahahahahahaha i
I think people are bummed because we keep expecting Sony to redeem itself and lead the pack
Don't do this shit.
The power of DLSS
its been five years. its time to let it go. honestly i was going to make a big post about how they will not show up today but i didnt want to be a downer. it's been 5 years of either cross gen or them being completely MIA. thats almost an entire generation. At this point, shame on us.
This really is the best looking game ever at the moment. I know this is just a tech demo but the fact that it runs at 60fps on ps5 with hw lumen really does give me hope. Everything is just so geometrically dense and that soft lighting really does give it that cg look
Something in me just can't give up on ND SSM or GG, I mean ND has not actually released a new game this gen, horizon is still one of the better looking games, SSM's only released ragnarok which was clearly a holdover from Ps4. We haven't seen a fully next gen (not cross gen) effort from any of them in any sort of depth
To me this demo looks much better, gta6 has amazing character models but this has an insane amount of detail density packed in every scene, not to mention hardware lumen GI and reflections (maybe?) virtual shadows and 60fps
Personally think for what GTA6 is doing it looks better - but you could make an argument either way. The cloth on her cape and all the materials and trees and the horse in the Witcher demo look insane.

Why do you still watch this trash live instead of just watching the trailers on 4k the day after?
They should still have Nvidia hairworks tech (like in Witcher 3) but it might not be feasible on base PS5 for performance reasons. I'm sure we'll see something for hair on PC.
Amazing? With those dogshit Characters models?
Did they reallly picked this twink for a 007 role? Lmaothat's where!
[the new Bond reminds me of him]
and no, that's not a good thing
The absolute weakest part of all the Hitman games was the shooting and the abysmal animations.
here's hoping they have fixed them. but I am not holding my breath
Yeah, no idea where he see the incredible graphic...too early too judge , they always use pre-rendered in-engine cutscenes, so that's that
both gameplay and facial animations are still too stiff
the main character looks, unlikeable to me
but this could actually be interesting on the whole
P.S. watched it a second time and it looks last-gen , as bad as the Hitman trilogy
SlimySnake the only impressive shot was the opening one showing the mountain- a clearly pre-rendered shot
I knew they wouldn't/couldn't upgrade their bloody Glacier
Masterfull impression

Can't unsee those ps4-looking teeth.Lmao the wolf mouth was the only good thing from the reveal and they fucking downgraded it
I just can't with these cunts.
Watch the reveal, the teeth are better.
Might be but that wolf never looked good imo.
F the teeth, the game looks PS4 as hell.
I thought the mouth in the reveal looked good, the model in general was nothing special.
Bizzarro world.
I at least need one more generation if there's ever a chance they decide to slow down or stop. PS6 will iron out the RT/PT issues and scaling issues that PS5 and the Pro are facing.
I agree with you on most of your takes, but bond looked very meh visually imo.
You're talking about console hardware and I'm talking about first party focus on games. It's pretty obvious Sony will release another console and improve on PS5, but having to worry about wowing gamers with games isn't their priority anymore since there's no competition in high end console market. Sony can just sit back and rake that 30% from third party and put out games that can make them the big bucks. Less risk, less innovation, less focus on spending crazy money on development is what I expect from them going forward. It's what we got this gen.
Especially considering also that RT / PT is a free win for developers in a way. Improves the graphics quality significantly and the devs don't have to waste months baking lighting.
These gifs look decent, but I'm gonna have to see a lot more before I'm convinced, IO's stiff animation just throws me off too much. The car scenes in the trailer looked terrible especially.cutscenes are meh, but the gameplay looked phenomenal. Lighting is excellent during the gameplay shots, and the scope of the game is AAA we'd expect from Sony first party.
Honestly, the cutscenes dont even impress me. I was like these character models are last gen, but then Bond showed up and they started cutting in combat sequences with great hero lighting everywhere. it's a huge upgrade from hitman 3. I also really like the driving sequences during which the cutscenes looked the best as well.
You guys have to compare it to the 2020 Hitman game. It's on par with Mafia to me.
This was just a state of play though, them and other first party will likely show up at a playstation showcase later this summer
Honestly, i dont understand how a studio that spent five years researching and nailing the fantastic grass tech can bring absolutely nothing new this gen five years later. The work they put into cinematography was also evident in their gameplay trailers for the first game. Yet this time around, even the cinematography has taken a step back. At least kojima brought his A game with the cutscenes with incredible character models and great lighting, even if its exclusive to cutscenes. I dont even know wtf happened here.
I also find it hilarious that these guys had five years to prep an E3 demo and they still missed the deadline, now doing a random state of play in the middle of july. like did you not know that e3 is this time of the year every year?
There's no summer showcase lol, they're doing Ghost of Yotei state of play in a month and that's it for the summer. They don't have much to show at the moment, so expect them to slow drip the games at different events instead of showing a ton of stuff at one event.
The bear in the demo reminded me of the hairworks demos, it does seem a shame they're pushing basically every other type of tech forward but are just using standard hair for people.
Surely there has to be, there's no way I can believe Sony's only summer event was a shortish event for mostly japanese 3rd party games. My money is on a proper 1st party showcase later this summer. Guess we'll see , maybe I'm just in denial over 1st party output this gen, maybe it's maybelline.
not relevant to the topic but bear reminded me of metro exodus bear boss fight
No. I've stated this in another thread but Sony has been doing State of Plays like this for over 5 years now.
They already announced Ghost SoT next month so that rules out July. They don't do major events in August so that's out too. Nothing is happening in summer because they have little to show.
Its looking somewhat unrealistic/cartoonish/clay figures characters, not saying it looks bad, its for sure very heavy fidelity/next gen, i just would prefer more realistic look, speaking from artistic choice.
Yes, I know state of plays are this format, I'm saying I'm expecting a playstation showcase event which is where they show more 1st party focused productions.
