So the ps5 game i guess is just that at a higher res and fps?

 

[mejin]

Seems like some shitty current-gen-wannabe games have muddied your memory. There are good games, and there are Sony-good games.

There is a monopoly here. A monopoly of high quality games.

 

[sircaw]

Rejoice brothers and sisters, the time of excellence is soon upon us

 

[Punished Miku]

I have the HZD platinum and every DLC trophy lol.

This looks noticeably better.

It's better looking, but I honestly think the largest difference is the color saturation and lighting. It's the direct sequel to the 2017 game, and it looks like it. That's not a knock on the game. I just think people forget how good the first one looked.

 

[Akuji]

Have you seen the mega scam that is the $50 Uncharted Collection ?

2 games with New modes and everything for 50€ seems ok to me?

 

[Arioco]

Wow! The game looks stunning on Pro too.

I'm very curious to see how it running on base PS4 and find out how well it stacks up against PS5.

 

[Bramble]

Dear lord not this again please. They already explained the differences months ago and it's way more than res and fps. Google it.

Nah to me what stands out as noticeably better are:

- materials quality / textures
- geometric density
- all the vegetation lol
- anti-aliasing quality
- draw distances

And even the lighting and animation look improved. Especially the human NPC animation.

Guerrilla might be about to ship the best looking game ever released on PS4. Top 3 definitely.

 

[Kaiserstark]

Look really good, I'm sure there will be differences but at a quick glance it doesn't look any different from the Ps5 version.

Will be interesting to see a more detailed comparison when it's out.

In the screenshots they also shared today, you can see the limitation of the PS4 with for example the corals on the right of the image are quite low polygon, whereas they've been extremely detailed in PS5 footage. Aloy's model has less complex lighting and the foliage doesn't seem to have any interaction on PS4

 

[NeoGiffer]

What about base ps4?

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Incredible achievement. Makes me wonder how open world games will look like by the end of the current generation.

 

[spartan30gr]

 

[Elios83]

Incredible achievement on PS4 as expected from Guerrilla.
But people claiming there are no differences...emmm vegetation, ground and general polygonal detail took a serious hit.
It's not a matter of just res and frame rate.

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

edit: Know what, I erased what I wrote here.
Why? because VFXVeteran liked.
No, whatever you agree I disagree dude and don't be a fucking pain in everyone asses when the game launch, we already had enough of you with Ratchet.

 

[Vr46]

Guerrilla is working on another game. Not only Horizon Forbidden West.

What? When?

 

[sncvsrtoip]

lol looks pretty much identical to the ps5 version. I told you guys it will look the same. No one makes two different versions of cross gen games. It's just like forza, just higher pc settings.

diminishing returns

 

[HitCtrlAltDel]

I wonder how loud the PS4 Pro fan will be when playing this. Damn thing used to sound like it was taxiing for the runway when I played Monster Hunter World.

Looks decent be interested in the side by side comparison videos come launch.

I really don't get this. I had a loud launch PS4 Pro and I opened it up, cleaned the fan and heat sink, applied Kryonaut thermal compound and (probably most important) replaced the thermal pads with 17 W/mK fujipoly ones. I can I can barely hear it now, even under heavy load. Most people just repaste, I think the thermal pads are most important since I think it's the memory that is signaling the fan to ramp up.

 

[AGRacing]

My old PS4 Pro playing this game:

This is what I was thinking. I couldn't enjoy God of War at all with that fricken fan making all that noise. It was absolutely nuts.

 

[Sosokrates]

Told ya it would still look great on PS4

Most people don't ever open up their games consoles at all...

Like I understand we are all in our own little community bubbles, but this is a pretty huge bubble dude. Like I did repairs during the Xbox to Xbox 360 era before Microsoft decided to start having every console sent in and my solution to the PS4 Pro was to put some headphones on.

But yeah I lucked out on my PS5 its wisper quiet, I think if starts making noise il be opening it up though, already had to do it to get the new SSD in anyway.

 

[GymWolf]

Best looking game on ps4??

Those gifs can pass for the ps5 version tbh.

Edit: of if you rewatch very close some stuff is inferior, but less than i expected.

Horizon 3 exclusive on ps5 is gonna make look h2 like a polished turd in 5 years from now.

 

[Punished Miku]

This and TLOU2 tied probably.

 

[roosnam1980]

this shows that both of the mid-gen consoles still have potential in them

 

[skit_data]

The geometric complexity on those rocks are way worse than the PS5 version, but it still looks good. Looking forward to DFs deep dive on the differences because I think they'll be pretty obvious.

 

[VFXVeteran]

Can't lie, this doesn't look that different from the PS5 version. Shout out to GG for having such a great understanding of how to leverage that hardware.

Yes. And that's because the engine is the same. They did some refinements but overall the game looks the same as the previous with a lot of changed environments, different art set pieces and props and gameplay. The graphics engine's capabilities are pretty much what it was last gen.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Swan song for sure

 

[GymWolf]

This and TLOU2 tied probably.

This get the edge for being open world imo.

 

[Max Payne’s Baretta]

I can see that. It also looks like the game isn't really all that CPU heavy. But that's a spillover from almost every game from that generation.

I guess this is why the new UC collection didn't change all that much. The engine is what it is.

 

[Riky]

Looks pretty much the same but I presume half the framerate. Is there any news if the Pro version has more than one mode?

 

[STARSBarry]

So essentially what people are saying is that Horizon on PS5 is good looking... for a PS4 title, since it's so close.

Glad it's working out of the PS4, but I really wonder what was cut and scaled back from the PS5 version to get it even working on the system. I really am looking forward to the Comparison videos now to see side by side how much diffrence there is.

Jungle. full of robotic monsters, fire, poisons land..... naked toes .. like.. fuck this man..

Will do, thanks!

Sony 1st Party are God tier.

This and TLOU 2 look like PS5 games.

Doesn't it work the other way around? Surely it was designed around the PS4.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Looking at those gif's i can almost feel the warm wind tickling my nuts!
Looks awsome on ps4 pro , hopefully i finish this game , i never finished the 1st one , me and damn open worlds man!, i can't finish them ..
I keep buying them and i never finish them

 

[Hitchyhero]

Surely this game can't look good on a ps4, if a base series s is holding games back?

 

[Airbus Jr]

Looking great on ps4pro but im still getting it on ps5

 

[Swift_Star]

Suberb. GG is at the top of their games. Talent wins.

Lets just wait for Digital Foundry analysis before making early assumptions here

Forgot to mention something important here..ps4pro is really loud compared to ps5..

I cant play game til midnight back then on pro cos it annoys my family sleeptime

 

[iHaunter]

People playing this on PS4/Pro. Get some sound dampening around your consoles.

 

[Represent.]

Also that combat looks fucking awesome. The amount of freedom and verticality. Paired with the vastly improved presentation, and motion capture in faces. This will be the best open world game for me since GTA 5.

 

[Swift_Star]

Have you seen the mega scam that is the $50 Uncharted Collection ?

the game you'll be able to buy for $10~$20 in two months? I don't get why on forums where everyone is rich to buy $5000 pcs people are crying over $50 remaster that will be in deep sales in a short amount of time.

This is what John is saying :

 

[Swift_Star]

Why would she change the way she does that move? People are so weird.

 

[remember_spinal]

kinda wish people wouldn't give obvious console war trolls so much attention on twitter but it probably helps teh game in the long run so whatever i guess
