Everything looks like crap after playing TLOU2

What they don't want you to know is how they motion captured the death animations.

The weapon upgrade animations was cool as hell. It was realistic but was only once in a while so it didn't get in the way of things like the looting in RDR2.

Some people clearly haven't played RDR2 on the XB1X. TLOU2 is only 1440p/30fps.
Play Gears 5 and tell me a game that looks better at 60fps from ANY Sony 1st party game. Go ahead!
Play Doom Eternal (60fps and 1800-4k on XB1X)

And wait for Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077, and AC Valhalla.

TLOU2 is the best look PS4 game, so it makes sense that some of you are omitting RDR2 on XB1X.
Read the OP again and come back here with a straight face?


Graphics. Animation. Emotion. Design. Cinematics. Camera work. Not only is RDR not as visually impressive, but the camera and animation on that game is no where near LOU 2. For a tense game, the controls and camera work needs to be excellent, also the animation in LOU 2 perches way above that title. No need to bring Gears 5 here, I played that on PC, Part 4 looks better in more ways than one, with actual physics too.....Gears unfortunately does not shine this gen as it did in the 360 era visually. Gears has always played second fiddle to ND games visually in every generation PS3 and this one is no different.......Gears 5 vs UC4 and LOU2 is not even a contest for the ND games visually......And just think, in all the categories the OP mentioned, plus gameplay, it's a clean sweep.

On an artistic and animation level I'm with you. Of course my PC pumps out better graphics on a technical level, but the sheer amount of detail in the environment and animation work raises the bar.

Excited to see where we go from here for next gen.

Hard disagree. TLOU 2 is still quite limited in terms of GI and overall shadowing. A lot of the time the lighting simply looks flat. I played SotTR after and didn't feel like that looked worse - the contrary, in many areas it looks much better, but then again, the privilege of high-end PC gaming. ;)

BS. RDR2 on the XB1X is better in literally every category. The animations are very realistic in RDR2. From the mud tracks, horses, shooting hats off etc...

Gears 5 is 60 fps. Again, tell me a single PS4 1st part exclusive that looks as good as Gears 5 that's a 60fps game. Do it! That's right, Sony has no 1st party 60fps games. They sacrifice framerate to get visuals like TLOU2. TLOU2 would be a 1080p game if it were at 60fps.



In summary, you've not played RDR2 on XB1X. You're incorrect about the animations. Or the fact that RDR2 has far more AI on screen, open world,dynamic weather,near native 4k etc...

You're comparing Gears 5(a 60fps game at higher resolution to boot that runs at TWICE the framerate) vs two 30fps games at 1440p that clearly have MAJOR cutbacks.

Just like you don't see people saying The Order looks better than RDR2 you shouldn't say TLOU2 looks better neither simply because The Order and TLOU2 are level based games. Anyone with sense knows its much more difficult pulling off an open world game especially one with the visuals of RDR2. The very fact that one could compare the visuals between the two with that great a distance in scale is an indictment on TLOU2.

The mistake that you guys always make is telling people what they've played and they have not. RDR 2 is not an XBOX exclusive, it's on PS4 and on PC, where I have both platforms. RDR2 does not run at 60fps on XBONEX, the console versions even have settings at low and below low in some instances. The PC version is the stalwart of settings for that game especially AMD cards using Vulkan. The 60fps you speak for Gears, guess what, I played it at better settings than XBONEX on PC. The only place you are getting 60fps on RDR 2 is PC as well......None of these games at the best settings on PC is as impressive as TLOU2, in the categories the OP has specified........You are doubting that people have played games that are available on multiple platforms, yet it would be interesting if you've actually seen LOU2 in realtime....I'm just about to wrap it up....34 hours in....

It's a good looking game but the art direction is nothing we haven't seen before in numerous titles this and last gen.
Lots to like if your a fan of olive drab and plaid though.
 
Holy fuck i was literally gonna make a thread about this same thing got the plat last night of part 2 and started doom eternal and it looks like trash

Please tell me, this is not Cyberpunk? Which DF spilled their moist kittens into severe hyperdrive overhype. Said it was next gen and the most impressive thing they'd ever seen to date...

I have not watched the previews yet, too busy playing LOU 2, but it seems I should take a break to watch these videos....Is there a technical analysis on these previews yet?
 
Imagine having never played a PC game before...
I've never bothered playing PC felt it was way too nerdy for my taste.. Having to update pieces of a computer seems like something a bottom feeder would be into... LOL could you imagine wanting to play a game a having to boot up a stupid computer..lol so dumb

Finishing up FFVIIR between TLOU Remastered replay and TLOU2 was like nails on a fucking chalkboard with those awfully acted animu bullshit cutscenes. The animation, acting, and direction of TLOU 1 and 2 are really second to none. And some of the gameplay segments were simply jaw dropping, even on a base PS4/1080p TV

If you have this PC, you don't need to ask the question. You know from having that PC and seeing it with your own eyes.

Yeah exactly, I do know. TLOU2 looks better than any game I've seen on PC.

So what are these "PC games" (and not just ports) that are supposed to blow this game out of the water?

I mean, you seemed so confident with your post. Care to share?

not the way i play it. i go full melee and it is actually much faster than ghost of tshushima because enemies dont take turns.
I would say play the game before you judge that, because thats what I thought when I saw God of War (2018) gameplay footage for the first time, then I played the actual game and boy I was wrong.

I dont think it makes other games look like crap but it probably is the most impressive game on consoles this gen. It looks amazing and the attention to detail is pretty absurd. It also has the most convincing human characters I think I've ever seen in a game. Yes, this includes Abbys 24" phythons.

that is sound advice. i am a big fan of infamous and sucker punch always gets the gameplay right so i dont have many concerns.

Its Cyberpunk lol

To be fair its a compressed video and the final build isn't done yet. And the game will surely look amazing on PCs and PS5/XSX. But there's no question when it comes to PS4, TLOU2 will end up the better looking (and performing) game. And if we count animation quality in the discussion too, then the gap widens even farther.
 

This is real? Looks like stop-motion.

Put yes TLoU2 has the best visuals ever. The attention to detail is crazy. The UI is clean as fuck. I told the guy that worked on UI to do the PS5’s UI. Sometimes even the camera work impresses me.

Dont get me started in the gameplay. One of the best. Theres so many ways to tackle a “kill room” in the last of us. Every freaking streamer just runs towards the enemys which means they get shot like 3 times. Painful.
