Those floors could easily be screen-space reflections. Remember SSR is dynamic and it would be very hard to distinquish between it and ray-tracing if your camera is directly in front of the mirror surface.

Digital Foundry said the gif going around had raytraced reflections on the ground, this is an early internal gameplay video so it might not have been implemented yet here

Edit: They could have been speculating as well

 

[Fbh]

Quick reminder that this is being worked on by a rather small team that has only released one game which was a F2P card game that looked like this:

Godfall looks pretty decent and I personally like the art style but I'm not sure why some people are reacting to it as if this was supposed to be a representation of the pinnacle of what next gen will have to offer

random question:

Am I the only one around here who loved Paragon? I played the crap out of it. Was sad it failed

I really liked it but something about it stopped me from ever going h=into it hardcore. It seemed like Epic just couldn't find the right balance.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Are you expecting a dramatic difference, because you're not going to get it at launch. This has almost never been the case for launch window games or even games within the first year of a console generation.

Condemned on the 360
Infamous second son on the PS4
Halo on the original Xbox

All say hello.

They said they "think" it could. Not that it did.

I liked it. It was the only moba I got into.

It will be a little embarrassing if this is Sony's only launch exclusive. You want to launch a console with a bang. Given how successful they were this gen I wouldn't be surprised if they will have a killer app planned on release day, would make me buy a PS5 to make my main console and have the X to play the xbox stuff for the next 2 years.

 

[ethomaz]

Lighting and ray-tracing looks pretty impressive and way ahead what we have on PS4 gen.

Don’t see anything lighting wise that’s impressive. RT hasn’t been confirmed.

Looks unnaturally shinny.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I found it. They said the reflection underneath the shrine would be impossible with SSR, they also mentioned the hammer like weapon passing in front of the reflection of a bush at 22:00

It is definitely ray-traced lol
C’mon.
Real life is shinny.

Surface, reflections and lighting effects are pretty impressive.

Launch titles are rarely that impressive tbh and this isn't made by Sony. It's still looking very good nonetheless and PS5 would never launch with just one game lol

 

[Psykodad]

Lol people arguing about cross-gen, I'm just happy to see some gameplay.
Cautiously optimistic.


And those who prefer cross-gen games, there's a console for you.

I can't see what he's talking about with the reflection under the shrine. It could very well be ray-traced reflections, but it was probably playing on a PC to begin with. Most of these demos are and have in the past.

 

[GymWolf]

I don't think you can judge anything from that short video.

Maybe an incomplete idea about the graphics and animations...

 

[GymWolf]

Not true.
Killzone 4 and inf3 were leagues better than anything on ps3 in terms of graphics.

All say hello.

The dreamcast launch hands down by far had the biggest wow factor. It was just a ginormous leap from the PS1. Soul Caliber and NFL 2K just blew the doors off what was possible on a console. We will never get an upgrade like that again. SNES to n64 for 3d was great but for visuals it was just shocking the upgrade from the PS1 to the dreamcast.

Godfall looks great for a modern launch game especially with the one x to spoil us.

 

[iHaunter]

Looks like a Monster Hunter/Warframe wannabe F2P game.

You must be a genius to decipher that from a 7 second video.

 

[GHG]

It's also a year old but people are ignoring that fact for some reason.

No point in judging the graphical quality until we get up to date high quality footage.

This game will live and die by the quality of it's combat though so I'm just waiting to hear impressions on that. Hopefully we don't need to wait too long before someone gets hands on with it.

How could I forget Soul Caliber? Ho-lee-shit I spent more hours on that fighting game than any others, combined.

Maybe that is the biggest confusion here... people are comparing mid-gen upgrades to next-gen.

Next-gen is PS4 to PS5
Not Pro to PS5.

In any case even comparing mid-gen upgrades Gol Fall lighting, reflections and effects are better than anything on Pro or X.

Impressive even with the generic art style..

 

[Tragic Denial]

Who's gonna be the first youtuber to dub it Godawful if it's a mediocre game

 

[ethomaz]

Sometimes I found it weird some comments.

Hellblade 2
No next-gen feature, in engine, no gameplay.
Posters: WOW next-gen, beautiful.

God Fall
Next-gen features, ray-tracking, gameplay.
Posters: Looks crap.



I'm not found of the generic art style of God Fall but it is doing way more than Hellblade 2 for next-gen... it looks really impressive.

PS4 BC or PS 1-3 BC?

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Current gen can run it easily

 

[Fake]

PS4 BC or PS 1-3 BC?

I'll be happy with PS4 BC games, but my dream is PS1 to PS4 games. As much people keep telling about crossgen games, I played a crossgen game on PS4 and don't look too good.

i still remember beinh blown away by NFL 2k’s graphics at the time

 

[Alexios]

Looks a bit floaty and without real impact to the hits, like Code Vein, rather than their common inspiration (Souls).

 

[Games of Today]

Godfall for PS5 and PC is looking good!

Wow I'm actually pleasantly surprised. If this shitty third party game looks this good, the PS5 exclusives are going to be mind blowing.

Hellblade looks miles better than Godfall. It’s coming to PC as well meaning they’re gonna gimp it for low level systems which is the same thing Microsoft is doing for the base Xbox.....nice effort though.

You mean a CGI trailer vs an old build of actual gameplay?

 

[Filthy Casual]

Why are people judging this game as if it's going to be the showcase of next gen? Let's wait for the big boys to show what they've got first lads.

 

[Sussoloc]

Actually it's only 6 seconds so i am a super genius!

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah i kinda thought the same but the video is too short to judge.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’m not sure anyone is holding it to that light, as far as THE Next-Gen Showcase.

Fact is it’s some of the first/only next-gen gameplay footage we have so far. We are just going off what we are being given.

 

[Burrito Bandito]

I thought we were just talking graphically but sure I would agree with you otherwise.

But speaking pure graphically you should take a look at early 360 games and compare them to late PS2 games and ya.

As we go on the difference is going to appear less and less.

Ryse on XB1 looked significantly better than any late-gen 360/ps3 games

 

[Gamernyc78]

Condemned on the 360
Infamous second son on the PS4
Halo on the original Xbox

All say hello.

Yeah but Infamous still looks better than most the games releasing today. Tht was first party and we know first party will bring the crazy goods.

 

[Fuz]

Seems like it will have a shitty camera.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

If this is like Borderlands then I'm in, if its like Destiny then I'm staying far away.

 

[Verdanth]

If this is supposed to kickoff the next generation of games, consider me not interested.

 

[Meowzers]

Looks decent..but that's about it. Though I think playing it in 4K/60 natively it will look more impressive. It's hard to see subtle details from a standard video.

Now if they showed off a new Uncharted game, it would look insane even watching at 144p.

 

[DonF]

It's not really shown in this video but this game has raytraced floors and other raytraced reflections and it's 4K 60FPS, you'd have to run it at 30FPS and lower the effects, you'd be right then

But we've had reflexions on 3d games for a while now. Yes, raytracing is way more accurate, but it's not a new concept.
Also, it's more of a devs tool than a visual thing.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Looking good, love the armor and looks like definitely will be free action as opposed to some cutscene/slice trailer of a series we know whose initial entry was repetitive, lacked great combat, repetitive enemies and was restrictive.

I'm in. Anything like God of War combat (traditional) and its a plus. Let's see how this shapes up. The studio isn't a well known one so I dont expect too much though.

Looking forward to the best devs in the industry showing what PS5 can do though.

 

[it_wasn't_me]

lol how is this not possible on PS4?

4k, 60fps, ray tracing, advanced particle effects....yeah, not possible on PS4

 

[Terenty]

Something about this game looks generic and stale as fuck

More unique games like Death Stranding for next gen please, enough with this Souls like, uncharted like, witcher like etc. shit already, we've had enough. Use some imagination devs, graphics is not everything

 

[DeepEnigma]

The leaks are gaining intentionally now.

FTFY

 

[JLMC469]

Something about this game looks generic and stale as fuck

I think people actually wanna play games instead of walking or watching cutscenes.
