The texture quality was low in The Last of Us Part II. Even the draw distance wasn't that great in many areas due to the PlayStation 4's limitations.
Ratchet and Clank is the only truly next gen game that's been shown so far IMO. It looks way better than this.
Horizon 2, in some areas, also looks as good as Ratchet, but is fairly inconsistent.
IMO Deathloop is the next best looking. People laugh at that idea because they can't see past the rather strange art style, but the actual fidelity of the lighting, draw distance, overall geometry etc is excellent. Again, much better than this.
Returnal and Demon's Souls are probably the next best. Returnal has higher highs - at times it just looks staggeringly good - but is VERY inconsistent.
As for your images: here, please peruse this screen of TLOU2, which likewise 'proves' that it's better looking than this remake.
They'll have more success attracting more gamers with a remake than a 9 year old PS3 port.
No, its not you. It's their marketing. For example, "leveraging ALL of latest PS5 tech."The way that our melee system has evolved is monumental,” Wohlwend said. “So we were able to use all those new development tools from the Last of Us Part II in this remake. It makes it much more flexible, easier to improve and prevent bugs, and elevates everything there.”
In italy we call this "having your face like your ass"
Boy it must be sad for these devs to lie with a smile on their face to make jimbo happy.
Monumental...i'm still laughin
Barely any game in existence from the same saga change the combat in a monumental way, let alone this thing being less evolved than the previous entry from 4 years ago.
See, this is the type of shit that people call out sony for when they talk about false marketing.
But english in not my native language, maybe monumental really means barely...
Demons Souls deserves its place in the top 3 best looking games man. The game is insane looking. Tesselation had never been used in a console game to the extent it is in DS. The lighting is phenomenal. Game looks next gen. It's a close race between DS, Ratchet and Forbidden West. I agree Deathloop is criminally underrated graphically.
Not defending anybody I’m stating the facts of what it take to do what you are suggesting. Understand That everything you mentioned would require a complete redesign of the game. There is No quick port of anything you mentioned At all. Its so great when gamer fanboys try to expend their immense knowledge of game design as fact lol. Suggest that to a dev, I would love to see that reaction.
Look at the question being replied to though. “Why would anyone buy this?” To me, that is not calling out Sony on their practices. People can call out Sony all they want, and each individual should vote with their own wallet as a consumer.
Sony is treating me very well. All I can ask is that they provide games and if it's something that I want to buy, I buy it
yeah it looks good but not Part II good and still waiting on devs to match UE5 Matrix graphics.....
Can you post the link? Does it has good quality gameplay footage?
0 footage just podcast
I wonder what used prices are going to be for this. Sony games hold there launch price for quite a while.
Curious to know as well. Digital will stay high for a while as usual.
I was considering buying new and then selling like a month later, i do this and got to olay the game for like £10, but im unsure how much this game will come down in price.
Smart move if you don’t plan on keeping it
Most single player game I play until I complete it, then I wont touch it again for months or years at which point its probably a lot cheaper.
Naughy dog would never use nanite being that they have their own in house engine. Ray traced audio, and shadows possibly.
Because they’re remaking the first game, not part 2. Of course they’re going to talk about differences from the game they’re remaking.
People who bought a ps5 would want to know this though. Seems pretty valid and relevant to this release. It IS ND's next game after Part 2 and first game on Ps5 as well as a Ps5 exclusive. They're not addressing the elephant in the room.
Probably don't need to since YouTubers are going to do it.
the reddit leaker also said the game was the best lookin game on PS5 and then he released videos that dont look any better than whats been shown already. its just hyperbole. ignore it.
the 4k 40 fps mode is an improvement but other than that if you know the history of this game you know this was built on TLOU2 engine so it is bound to look identical to it. they are reusing assets from that game. foliage looks the same. ellie and joel's character models are very close to what we saw in the flashback levels. Wouldnt be surprised if they lifted them from the sequel and used them as a starting point.
prone are dodge are not tools it’s a gameplay mechanic. motion matching is tool and a game changer. There are many other things they are doing with the remake that did not exist when tlou first came out. Some of it looks simple like how the gameplay camera moves and blends, most people would just overlook it. Some how prone and dodge represents everything they have learned over the past 10 years lol this shit is hilarious.

The game simply looks phenomenal in cutscenes.
We see the same thing here. Remake looks phenomenal in cutscenes. Not so much during gameplay.
