Have you seen the first Horizon game? It would be pretty underwhelming if the game they release on a next-gen machine looked anything less than what this screenshot alludes to.
Lighting alone looks significantly better.
Have you seen R&C on PS4 pro? It looks just as good,
If the original didnt look bonkers, you'd have a point. NT can make hardware sing.
If its not realtime then neither was Horizon 2.
I think Horizon 2 and Hellblade 2 both look really impressive, it just depends what look you like better. I always thought Horizon had "surreal" look it was going for, overly colorful, vibrant and bright. Where as Hellblade 2 is going for a more realistic/grounded look. I agree with Flight Sim, I'm impressed by the tech they're using more than anything.
You could even tell a clear difference during the livestream, unless you were blind.
As I always mention,
I can only speak for myself, sure it looks like "photo realistic" but I personally don't find hyper realism visuals exciting.
I mean 20 people created this beauty. On Current gen tech.
The Character model is amazeballs but the LOD on the skills sinking in the mud to me Trump's everything. The hands hanging and then senua's model
just the foliage and the amount of moving shit makes it a world apart from the first one in my book. First games it's pretty sterile but now it looks a lot more like BoTW in how lively the world looks.
You're comparing a game with closed environmental and probably worse performance to a game that simulates the ENTIRE planet earth along with its clouds, weather and wind simulations...yeah idk how you cant be more impressed with that.Didn't forget, just not as impressed.
Games have always been good at making stuff that's far away look real especially when you are looking at it through a glass window. This takes it to the next level, but the illusion constantly breaks if you look at videos instead of screenshots.
The planes and some upclose shots themselves are about as impressive as GT7. I'm ridiculously impressed at all they do to transform their data into proper terrain but that's not really graphical fidelity.
most impressive thing when it comes to the actual graphics to me are the Clouds. But overall Rachet and Clank and Horizon are definitely beating it right now. Perhaps at launch it will look much better.
They hold up at a distance? Imo they blow everything out of the water at a distance.
Look at the way the underwater foliage moves aside, that's gameplay-quality animation.just the foliage and the amount of moving shit makes it a world apart from the first one in my book. First games it's pretty sterile but now it looks a lot more like BoTW in how lively the world looks.
One recurring graphics feature in what sony first party games showed it's the amount of variety in assets while keeping high fidelity.
That's fine, but when you are not that far from the ground and there is nothing obscuring the view all i see is a bunch of noticeably low poly map data with textures slapped on. In my eyes it's fakeness is extremely obvious.
You don't need 4k to see difference, but video with bitrate that don't turn image quality into mush. Youtube already has problem with showing details in current gen games. That's why people watch trailers in 4k on youtube. It's bitrate is enough to make it OK to watch it on 1080p.
not to pile on, but I'm replying R&C 2016 and Rift Apart is significantly better. Also note, I'm comparing the actual game to a "4K" compressed YouTube video.
You wouldn't believe how many people LOVE flight simulator, not just your average gamer Joe but even people who usually don't play vgs at all.
Yes, but this was "low res and inconsistent textures, the game". Many scripted walkthroughs and samey environments and enemies......The biggest focus/budget on Hellblade 1 was Senua…..I mean 20 people created this beauty. On Current gen tech.
I can only imagine what NT has been cooking up with that MS money bag now that their team has grown in size 5X's on next gen hardware
I'm sorry but these look weak AF. I'm super hyped for Infinite and I hope that next month's showcase will blow our minds.
Yes I have and no it doesn't.
