That is some serious praise - nice!

[onQ123]

This game is just beautiful

 

[sncvsrtoip]

df knows how to capture footage, game looks so much better here than on few reviews I watched

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Game looks *chef's kiss*

 

[TheGodfather07]

half my playtime will probably consist of standing still and looking at the environments.

 

[Fake]

As much I don't like Pokemon Arceus, IDK if was a good ideia to make such a silly comparison with a photorealism games as HFW.

 

[nowhat]

Having watched that, I only have one wish for Guerrilla...

 

[TheShocker]

Watching now. The one thing that has me excited is the "….is an open world game that seems like it was made for people growing weary of open world games."

I know that's not tech related, but it is refreshing to hear that.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Can anyone post a summary of the information on the video please, can't watch at work. Thanks.

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

I was watching reviews earlier and was surprised how the game basically looked identical to the first one but put side by side like this there is actually a really huge visual upgrade imo.

The human memory is strange I guess.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Red Dead 2 dethroned? IDK if I'll get it but I want to see it in person before I make a conclusion.

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[M1chl]

Look s really good, also it's porting that sort of high contrast look of Killzone (specially 3rd) which got my paycheck senses tingling and they I remembered that simply no matter how good looking open-world game are I am not a fan. Sucks for me I guess.

 

[jaysius]

So she's uglier on PS5?

I guess this is what fiedlity brought?

 

[Tripolygon]

How can it be a masterclass, it is cross gen i tell you, cross gen.

Your brain fills in details that weren't there

 

[Interfectum]

Don't have time to watch it right now, how much of a hit does the PS5 version take when playing at 60 FPS?

 

[Punished Miku]

Is this where I'm supposed to pretend I'm impressed and know everything about textures and photoshop? Because I honestly can hardly tell a meaningful difference here.

 

[Cyborg]

Shiiiiit looks amazing! I cant wait

She waxed on PS4.
Skin and the shape look more realistic on the PS5.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

John should of compared to the PC version a bit I think.

No hit. Mostly locked 60 FPS with minor 1-second when scenes change during cutscenes. Res is 1800p CB and looks fantastic.

I mean if you and J jaysius like wax dolls then I'm not one to judge.

Yeah, I wonder what he means by that. Makes me curious.

 

[Interfectum]

No hit. Mostly locked 60 FPS with minor 1-second when scenes change during cutscenes. Res is 1800p CB and looks fantastic.

So the only difference is the resolution hit? Post processing, textures, etc unaffected?

 

[Mr Moose]

Yeah, I wonder what he means by that. Makes me curious.

I think Oleksandr Battalislavsky will do a HZD PC vs HFW PS5 comparison.

 

[Punished Miku]

I mean if you and J jaysius like wax dolls then I'm not one to judge.

I guess. This is how most of these threads go. Just insult people so they all pretend they see it. It is literally the most barely perceptible difference ever. But I guess that's good news for everyone playing the game, since it looks phenomenal.

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Haha yeah some people didn't finish the video before posting. His answer though can be said for pretty much every open world game of late. John just liked this one better.

 

[roosnam1980]

big improvement over the original in every way

 

[Swift_Star]

Will now the hyperbolic comments stop? And lmao DF played mostly in resolution mode. Guess fps is not the end all be all even to them.

 

[Represent.]

4k30 wins again. Looks the best by a significant margin. I want no visual compromises.

Googled that and got some footballer. If it's a joke, I don't get it.

that guote makes no sense because the first one was worse than the ubisoft checklist style games

 

[Ozriel]

Will this finally make people shut up about cross-gen games now?

I hope so. I truly hope so.

Masterful decision making by Sony. Delivering outstanding visuals on the PS5 and still not neglecting the huge install base of the PS4.

 

[Shmunter]

Omg, finally a dev tackling the god awful rendering technique that is ssr.

Ssr must be the biggest offender of making games look shit. Obviously varies depending on the composition of the game and scene, but large bodies with ssr are simply hideous.

Now finally, the effect is mitigated to the point of no longer being distracting.

Alleluia!

 

[pratyush]

Me want 40 fps 1800p native. It will be great compromise. Image will be basically same but lot smoother

 

[Markio128]

I remember there being a lot of criticism from gafter's regarding the surface interactions, but damn, they look good. When that badger ran through the grass leaving a trail…. Amazing detail. And the ground textures! By the time John started talking about the water, I was already majorly impressed. Stunning, and I can't wait to wander around the world, especially the forest and beach areas.

Spoiler: Sogood

Yea this obliterates the first Horizon in the visuals department.

 

[onQ123]

Yeah, I wonder what he means by that. Makes me curious.

Edit: answered already

 

[ZywyPL]

Try his artistic nickname, Alex Battalion.

 

[Markio128]

I got massive Witcher 3 vibes when he showed the rainy, blustery forest area; the way the trees and grass were swaying in the wind.

It was a joke and now I get it. Thanks.
