Stellar Blade - PC Demo out now

What's amazing about it? Generic environment with a green filter on top.

Kinda does look sharper, but as you've said, the aesthetic of the environment and its detail is lauch ps4 level. Something like Killzone Shadowfall had more details going into its environment than this.

Its night and day between your screen shot and his.
I think you borked something in the settings cuz yours looks scaled by Capcoms Interlace mode from 720p or lower.
Her hair doesnt even look like hair.

Reminds me of the Pixel art hack in Arnold where you set the Camera AA to a negative value.

You are mixing art with graphics

I was literally talking about the artstyle if you scroll up to my other comment :)
But either way, even technically Expedition 33 is above Stellar Blade with it's Lumen and Nanite use.
It's not a technical showcase though and yes, you better turn off all the filters... still a solid game technically for such a small studio.
 
You've not played gears 3 or n some time… the art is amazing. Graphics too imo
You'd be lying if you said that the similarities aren't very close. And those pics are screen grabs from youtube vids, so much blurrier than it would be if taken natively.

There is barely any settings there, so not much to bork. But i'll log in a take a picture with FSR set on quality, and then you will see what pixel art is😁
 
This is the same settings but with FSR3 set to Quality. Might very well be the shittiest i have ever seen in a game. Blurry as hell, while aslo having a ton of jaggies everywhere.

With FSR4 Quality mode and Chromatic aberration disabled, it does look better.
Though the level design still looks simplistic.

Environments are shit, but remember this is gaf. If it has a sexy ass protagonist they'd defend it to the ends of the world. There were people claming Nier Automata having gorgeous environments lmao. At least that game had an excellent story. Dunno yet about Stellar Blade.

Yes, those are shit lmao, but then again, you're also the guy who defended that other game with absolute dog shit environments. I dont want to say its name else you might get an aneurysm.

The has to be something wrong with your settings. Check if your Resolution Scale is set to 100% in the options menu.
This is FSR3 quality enabled on my system. It's clearly not as good as FSR4, but it's better than what you are getting.

We are talking about art here. But graphics is good too.
I never said the graphics are amazing. The graphics are good. Even very good but art is the king here of which I gave you plenty of examples.
You don't have to like it but it's not shit.
I don't know what other games you play that meet your art standards because stellar blade got some of best environments and art design in recent years and I am not talking about the character.
 
so shit environments!

Those are absolutely outdated as fuck, washed out visuals. All the polygons wen't into her body, while the rest of the game uses just 10%

Bro calm down, there's no reason to start directly insulting someone over different opinions about a video game. This is why you come off kind of unhinged dude. It's fine if you disagree, it's not a big deal, but you're over here calling folks dumb ass and shit for not liking the environments in a video game that you like.

Come on dude. Get a drink or something, relax. It's all gonna be ok.

It is of course set to 100%. This is not the kind of mistakes i would have made lol. When i activate supersampling, and set it to 200%, the game looks waaay sharper, but who plays at 200%? And is this with FSR4? Cuz i am on a 6800xt.

There is plenty of reason to attack this guy. he baits me and attacks me. he knows it.
I didn't start this. I posted a ton of my screenshots. Took some effort to post. Only for some guy to attack me with forspoken ? really?
no man. I am not unhinged. I like games. This is why I am here. It's my hobby.
The other guy clearly does not. What is he doing here.

edit: and it's not calling someone "names". If someone is an idiot, the mildest thing I can do is calling him an idiot. We are not even getting in the names and profanity here. This is so mild, nobody should even flinch lol. cmon now

Love you too blind guy.
 
Love you too blind guy.
try enjoying something for once.
I am taking hundreds of screenshots from games I play. I always liked doing that.
I don't spend my day bitching about what other people like and convincing them it's bad.
You are an asshole. And you know it.
And I am not getting banned because of some stupid ignorant like you

Brother I can name 50games that came out before Stellar Blade that have better environments and Im talking about art style and technical aspects. Heres one of them

Environment of a non washed out game from seven years ago.

All right man, that's fine. I just think we can speak to each other in a kinder manner than that. I'm of the opinion that conversation degrades when we resort to that type of discourse. If you guys don't wanna play nice, maybe you shouldn't be playing together? Just a thought, hugs to the both of ya.

go on then. name 50 games.
When did I say that stellar blade is king of art?
I am saying the art is great and some of better I've seen recently. And that's true.
And no. rdr2 does not have better art. not at all. rdr2 is aiming for realism and graphics.

I didn't came here to insult anyone.
It's the other users who are toxic behind internet shield. I hate the internet sometimes.
I have a right to respond. cheers

I didn't say you didn't have a right, just thought you could do it nicer, that's all. Hey, do your thing bud, not trying to get into it.
 
I've spent 50+ hours in this game doing everything needed so far for the platinum and the DLC and I'm just at the start of Spire 4. I'm still hours from beating the actual game.
 
I'm glad demos exist. It runs very well and looks good, and yeah, Eve's damn hot. But it's super boring and the combat doesn't feel as snappy as it should for this type of game. Not saying that it's bad, but I always use Lies of P now as a point of reference for anything that isn't made by From, and this doesn't quite reach that level. And the story.. from what I've heard the story/concept is basically dollar store Nier Automata? Ehh, not sure if that is something for me. Kudos again to the optimization though, it's really refreshing to see something run this well. Might give it another try because of that if I've nothing else to play and it's on a deep discount, but not something I'm keeping my eye on right now.

Looking forward to what modders will do though!
 
I understand and thanks.
But I won't be nice to trolls. Doesn't work and they don't deserve it
Just because you're an ignorant and disagree with people doesnt mean those people are trolls. Good to have your own opinion, not a fact, about a game or games, but stop being a child about it. Shitposting aside, it seems you are very personal about this, so just stop.
 
Personally, I think that Final Fantasy IX, and Chrono Cross visually look better than Clair Obscur, and for me Clair Obscur has 9/10 graphics, so figure that shit out.
 
Posts modded rdr2.
Meanwhile, you should try playing stellar blade with HDR. it's not washed out.
I played the ps5 version with HDR. Its washed. Your own pictures are washed out, so i am not sure why you're even trying to deny this.

And the game being modded or not makes no difference because its not a washed out title to begin with, and its environment are made by Rockstar, not modders. Here's the launch trailer of the game. It has zero mods, and the difference between it and Stellar Blade is generational.
 
4k ,Dlss 4 quality , maxed out with frame gen at 130FPS-140FPS looks amazing on my C1 Oled with HDR.

Loving the music too , buying the deluxe version

Combat is quite fun but it's missing the finishing touches that you can't get from FromSoftware. The hit damage feedback reminds me of Lies of P , lacking the ommph. Just a nitpick , not end of the world. Otherwise dodge , blink , and parry feels good
 
guys think about playing with korean vo. It's kinda intended as it was in the trailers.
English is not bad but korean sounds better
 
Maybe something else is set weirdly in your setup?
I think I only added +2 to sensitivity on X and Y in that game and it felt great.
There is no input lag or delay in this game on ps5 and not on ps5 pro. It's one of more responsive games this gen

Didn't say there was input lag, the game just feels weird, but i'ma try the PC demo again when I get time.

Clair Obscur, like many other modern games, is riddled with shit postprocessing effects and ugly fog.

Muted colors, fog everywhere, blur up the ass, dof to the point where you can't tell what the fuck is in front of you and you can't even see the blue in the sky.

Now compare it to a game from the 90's, notice how there are no shitty effects obscuring what's in front of you, everything is clearly visible and the colors are warm and vibrant.

And yeah, it's true that they're clearly behind when it comes to technology, but visual appeal? I prefer those old games for sure.

Plus it's not just a visual thing. Gameplay wise I think the old graphics are better because the player can process the visual information much faster. Modern games are cluttered with assets and props and shit that many times they have to resort to things like the yellow paint just so the player can have a hint about where to go or what objects are interactable or not. This would never happen in an old game.
 
This is FSR3 set to high performance while having MAXED OUT VISUALS. Like wtf bruh.

Either you are trolling or your computer is fucked. Check out the 1080p HP in Mr Moose's post versus yours.
FSR in performance looks like shit as expected but yours looks like its at the native FSR high performance resolution but then FSR didn't upscale.

Playing this demo made me reinstall Nier Automata and damn the combat is soooo much better. And the inspiration is so incredibly obvious. You even have a little drone. This game just feels like a poor man's Nier.

Clair obscur aims for that specific look and it makes a lot of sense.
I don't understand some pc gamers hatred for full screen effects. Sometimes it's tacky but it's fully arted for clair obscur

Who tf plays hexen 2 with glide. It's a software game !
