I've been more impressed with Destiny's graphics, but hopefully the scale of this game makes up for that.
Horizon's facial animations are a nice step above ME:A's. Both of these gifs of the games are with NPC's using the conversation wheel rather than some important story cutscene too. In Horizon's case, this was with some side quest character.
It's kind of hard without context, but to me the bottom one is considerably more realistic.
The ME:A example looks like the person has botox.
The HZD might be a bit overstated, but it also looks like the character is speaking in a louder maner based on the body language, and people certainly can do all of those movements / twists with their mouth while talking. There's a lotta strange people here in Texas, and I've seen worse than this lol
For those wondering, the minimum and recommended specs are for 30fps:
Seems a bit steep to me...

Also, SLI support confirmed:
I bet we get DF coverage next week when the preview comes out.What's the general consensus over PC optimisation in previews ? good or shit ?

Now I'm really curious on how this would run on a i7-6700k, 1070 and 16GB RAM. Also, why Windows 10 for recommended?

It's the latest OS and probably has a better scheduler, which helps out in multithreaded scenarios.Also, why Windows 10 for recommended?
Ah ok, that makes sense, yeah I need Windows 10.It's the latest OS and probably has a better scheduler, which helps out in multithreaded scenarios.
Of course, the scheduler doesn't work right now if you have a Ryzen CPU right now, so that's not entirely true.
I'd prepare for the worst if they recommend a 1060/480 for high settings at 30 fps. If that's actually true then it's probably the most demanding game ever. It certainly doesn't look like it would need that much power.

If the ones in Andromeda bother you, you should never play The Division or Wildlands.
I get that. I was actually getting frustrated with the Storm Coast until I got a grasp of all the treaded paths up and down those hills. I didn't loathe it nearly as much in my second run through the game because I knew right where to go.Not just the large worlds but the way they were designed, take storm coast as a huge headache to walk around. It was sort of open but forecful to make sure you couldn't walk in many areas. The maps kept doing that sort of design as well as what the mission variety was or wasn't
I had seen storm coast in a review as I was playing and people were like, holly shit storm coast is wicked. But god damn that map was designed so poorly (even if realistically) but they tend to make so many rough paths, and having to walk around and eh man it's easier to show it and talk about it but boy was it a headache.
Remember that the High and Ultra preset may include crazy PPAA techniques that aren't normally necessary.
At this point, it's pretty impossible to tell what performance will be like until we get benchmarks and a breakdown of each setting.
Hoping for an NVIDIA perf guide.
There's no way that 30 fps @ 1080p for reccomended specs is true. If it is, then what in the actual fuck were they ever doing talking about 4k
The bottom one honestly looks worse to me. Whose mouth does that? Top one is rough too, but I'd rather have too little emoting than too much. Bottom dude is like he's trying to chew food while talking. No one opens their mouth that much while talking, he's like shouting every word.
God damn she looks like a robot. Horizon might be overdone with that character but it looks much more pleasing. Her eyes are just....dead. I love mass effect and I'm getting andromeda but for a game that is known to focus on deep character emotions the facial animations are bad consistently from what I have seen and the eyes make the characters look super fake. Something about the eyes completely ruin the characters face. The models as a whole look really good (over 100k polys judging by one of their tech vids).
"bu...bu...Commander Ryder!"

Well I mind as well have stuck with the ps4 version if the recommended specs is for 30 fps and not 60.
We have no idea what the equivalent settings will be for PC to PS4 or PS4 Pro. Relax. It'll be fine.
The game doesn't even looks that impressive, probably a mistake.
Solid 60fps on High would be nice on a 970 at 1080.
Prove it.
I've personally seen people talk similar to the ME one because like you say, botox and it's easy to have no emotions. But no ones face moves like the one on bottom. No one. I'm talking about how jerky or snappy the animations are on the face. Your muscles simply don't snap like that unless you are having a seizure.
And even if you could find me one person who did. That is one rare individual. I have yet to see animations that don't have that ridiculous exaggeration and snappiness between expressions on any other character.
1800c30I'm guessing by the looks of things it won't do a native 4k on the PS Pro.
Huge open world + tons of lighting effects.Why is this game so demanding for such mediocre graphics? I wanted to run 4k on a single 1080, but I wonder how successful that will be.
Is that Horizon GIF supposed to be in its favor? Looks like the dude's face is being controlled by a puppeteer on speed.Even botox intoxicated celebs have more emotion than that ME gif man.
Meet Colby.
Frostbite games tend toward somewhat overestimating requirements, not the other way around. I continue to be amazed how worried so many 970 owners are, unless people are afraid their master race cards will be pulled if they run anything less than locked 1080p60 on Ultra.even though the 'Recommended' specs continue to say that a GTX 970 is enough I'm still worried that it won't be...I currently have a 970 and am thinking about upgrading to a 1070 for Andromeda...is that overkill at 1920 x 1200 with all settings maxed out (with AA 4X)?
