that really does look like shit, but I just watched that 1 minute trailer on my C9 and it looks great. Maybe they should have remastered Halo 3 and gave this game another year or two in the oven.
Why? Becuse they didn’t show Spider-Man gameplay? If they did they would’ve been roasted for it being 30 FPS no matter what. The biggest difference between the shows is that Sony didn’t show gameplay for their launch game.Create a decimal scale if you have to, but Sony's was better, even if its a 5.1 outta 10
I don't give Sony any passes...if they piss me off I'll rip them a new one any day of the week.Sony’s was much the same, they just get a pass for being Sony
To be fair I have no dog in this fight, but it's going to be equivalent to what we see in the finished productLmao. Don’t be naive.
Yes and wtf do cutscenes run on? Even Hellblade 2 is said to be running "in-engine". None of this was gameplay and this screen doesn’t disprove that at all.
Agreed #FireGreenbergCompanies do this all the time in the big shows.
I don't get why it's that hard to even make a great video game show. All you have to do is show recorded clips which most of them aren't even a minute or two long. And for shows that aren't even live, you have months to prepare clips and a bunch of people talking into a screen. If any clips aren't good, then re-record it and submit to Sony or MS and they compile into a big hour long show.
The problem with console makers is multifold, but as core gamers we look for gameplay and details. The general public checking out an MS or Sony show they heard about on a Facebook news feed just cares about hyped trailers. After they watch the show, they don't care about games until 6 months later when it's time to buy FIFA.
But if these shows by them are truly trying their best to get hardcore early adopters I think the core problems they have are these:
1. Too many games jammed in, so depending on the game could be anything from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. And half that time is showing the credits of who made it and what the title of the game is.
2. Too many CGI, trailers, renders etc..... which IMO comes from high ego studios who have to show great renders they spent months on. Kind of like when you play a game and they force you to watch cut scenes so their artists could feel good about themselves when most games just want to press a button to skip.
3. Also, sketchy marketing teams trying to bullshot their way to getting your dollars. Now someone might say they do this because the game is so early in dev it looks like ass. If that is true, then don't show it. Show it later. When a car company has a new car to show, they show it when it looks nice just as you buy it in the showroom. A car company will show the care a year out in car shows. You can even sit in it. They don't show you a concept stage where it's a clay mould and the R&D team is still figuring out what it looks like.
For you young gamers who grew up with PS1, back in the 80s you had some magazine ads like this. And on computer game boxes, they were generic for all platforms so they might have pics and actually label it PC or Amiga. No BS. Just straight up.
Most likely yes but doesn’t change the fact it wasn’t gameplay.To be fair I have no dog in this fight, but it's going to be equivalent to what we see in the finished product
Every finished game we have seen on PS4 has been extremely close to the teasesr trailers they got
Yeah Gears 5 campaign was good and the multiplayer rubbish. Horizon? Hands down the only racing game I enjoy. But as you said, where are the games that challenges games such as God of War, Horizon...etc?
Thats where MS lacks and it seems to me that they haven't learned
It's not though. Thanks for comin by. You're still wrong.I remember OP being dismissive when I said Phil be out there marketing a next-gen console when the Series X was by all intent and purposes an Xbox One X mid-gen refresh. Same controller, same OS, and games tied to 2013 hardware.
I guess everyone lives to learn.
Create a decimal scale if you have to, but Sony's was better, even if its a 5.1 outta 10
I feel more grounded after today in building a great PC or buying one from NZXT BLD than "next gen consoles" after this summer.I don't write long threads.
So for me to sit here and post something even this long means I'm dead serious about this
XBOX forced this show. Games were not fully ready to show and they were writing all sorts of checks their ass couldn't cash.
Yes I'm referring to Halo Infinite mainly. The game was just not ready to be shown and they did it anyway. They felt the pressure, and they banked on the power of suggestion to shroud this mediocre showing.
Eagle Eyed tweets show the pop-in...the bad textures, the simply passable gameplay. There was nothing exciting happening in the trailer. The grappling hook was a black line from Chief's hand to whatever object or enemy he was grabbing. Where's the fuckin hook?
I came away from this reveal feeling betrayed...feeling like my intelligence was being mocked. I don't know what decisions brought us to this point, but I am very worried about the state of gaming in general. Sony's show was not great. Xbox's show was not great. Maybe my expectations are really high, but this is supposed to be showing off Next Gen games. I think I'm entitled to the expectation that I will see SOMETHING mindblowing. Neither show hit that bar.
Sony was smarter to not show gameplay at this point and right now, I'm pretty confident we aren't going to see anything definitive any time soon. Sony was smarter to be very matter of fact about their presentation. They didn't build up expectations. They just said, here's the date, hope to see you there. So after Sony's show, though it was also just "okay" it didn't sting as bad.
I respect Phil, but he can't be saying crap like he has this whole time then have an "okay" showing with like 1 or 2 instances of gameplay. I suppose I'm a victim of my own enthusiasm.
I don't even know if this warrants a thread, but I think Xbox hopefuls need to keep it real. Sony fans should recognize the calculus behind this. Regardless, everything I said and the title preceding stands.
It's not though. Thanks for comin by. You're still wrong.
Then it shouldn't. Delay it. This year shouldn't be business as usual. Blame it on Covid, we get it.what do you mean the game is not ready, It's coming out in November lol
I agree to some extent but at the same time it isn’t an excuse. They didn’t take notes from Sony after all those years? Look at how Sony are building their fanbase. Why? Because they DELIVER. Yes, even if they announce games early but they still deliver at the end. I don’t remember the last time MS delivered something worth noting.
There was gameplay of Spider-Man, it looked that good you thought it was all a cutscene?Why? Becuse they didn’t show Spider-Man gameplay? If they did they would’ve been roasted for it being 30 FPS no matter what. The biggest difference between the shows is that Sony didn’t show gameplay for their launch game.

Agreed. Although it's clear what they showed was an old build.
The left is what they showed live, and the right is from the 1 minute trailer.
This picture also shows more detailed textures and shadows from what we saw in the live reveal:
Still. It should be looking and performing better. I honestly hope they delay it.
You just activated my trap card.That’s not real gameplay. Spider-Man never gets that close to the camera in that sort of animation in normal gameplay, and it would suck if he did, how on earthy would you control where you’re going? That’s a dev mode shot for promo, or a cutscene
Horizon didn’t show a second of gameplay.
Done.
Seriously. How have people still not learn what gameplay is after all those years? Some people legit believed the first cinematic trailer of AC:Valhalla was gameplay. Like WTF? How is it not obvious?That’s not real gameplay. Spider-Man never gets that close to the camera in that sort of animation in normal gameplay, and it would suck if he did, how on earthy would you control where you’re going? That’s a dev mode shot for promo, or a cutscene
The onus is on you to prove that, because the company itself is saying the exact opposite. I don't have to support a damn thing.I would like to see you make a case for why "the wrong"...
You just activated my trap card.
Not gameplay. Cutscenes again.This video featured in game footage, you just had to look for it.
It's just the price of cross-gen, the game will be fine it just lacks the next gen features.If halo isn't ready to be shown then there's no way in hell it's gonna be ready in a few months because it looked terrible
I really like how the swinging looks lol, its just a little "extra" compared to Peter's swinging. More erm... Acrobatic? If that's the right word.So the new spider man, all about fluidity is going to constantly remove control of the character and camera for glam shots. Even worse! If this is a real shot of something that makes it to the final game, it’s 100% in a scripted sequence out of a cutscene. And That guy isn’t even at Insomniac anymore
Most of it was building a new engine.Hasn't this game been in development for a really long time?
So how can they blame it on Covid-19?
Not gameplay. Cutscenes again.
I said it wasn't gameplay which it isn't, that's all. The game can look reasonably close to this but this isn't gameplay they showed and it's damn obvious.Even if what you think is true do you really expect a difference between the two? It would be jarring especially in scenes that look exactly like gameplay.
Most of it was building a new engine.
Why bring it up then though?Most likely yes but doesn’t change the fact it wasn’t gameplay.
It's just the price of cross-gen, the game will be fine it just lacks the next gen features.

So what? It's still being rendered on PS5 hardware. By your metric TLOU2, Uncharted 4, God of War, cutscenes, GT Sport replays are Pre-Rendered?Not gameplay. Cutscenes again.
The onus is on you to prove that, because the company itself is saying the exact opposite. I don't have to support a damn thing.

The discussion was very clear. HZFW didn't show a second of gameplay. Some guy responds showing obvious cutscenes and "captured on PS5". Neither of which proves it's gameplay especially given the glaringly obvious camera shots of the scenes.Why bring it up then though?
Points scoring on the internet?, that's the kind of shit that degrades discourse to the point of name calling and such

Seems about the same to me (platinumed the PS4 game but my memory is really fucking bad lol).Yeah they’ve already said he has new swinging animations that are a lot less refined as he’s a much newer Spider-Man, there’s just no way he’s gunna get so close to the camera and they’ll pan into him. It’s completely contrary to what they were going for in the PS4 title
You just activated my trap card.
Nice strawman and hilariously, the cutscenes of Uncharted 4 do look significantly better than the gameplay shots.So what? It's still being rendered on PS5 hardware. By your metric TLOU2, Uncharted 4, God of War, cutscenes, GT Sport replays are Pre-Rendered?
PC has always been where performance lies, and Nvidia's 3000 series will be a game-changer (and possibly AMD's next gen) but I still need somewhere to play Sony's first-party games. I mean let's be honest, there's only one God of War.I need to turn in my consoles anyway. Fucking things sound like fighter jets. I have a decent enough PC too.
But that leaves me wondering, after pointing out that the level of fidelity good or bad we have been shown by Horizon 2 is going to be VERY indicative of what we see in the finished product, why you would continue with this thought processThe discussion was very clear. HZFW didn't show a second of gameplay. Some guy responds showing obvious cutscenes and "captured on PS5". Neither of which proves it's gameplay especially given the glaringly obvious camera shots of the scenes.
Ratchet & Clank was gameplay. HZFW was not. That's all.
Ok, at risk of derailing the point of this thread...which is address some very real problems with next gen prospects and to call out the most recent show for what it is. I'll stop to humor you because you brought up a conversation from a completely different thread.It's my opinion and I gave some of the reasons why I believe that to be the case. The company can say whatever the hell they want - they can sell a turd and call it chocolate on a wrap (it's still a turd). It's called misleading marketing and PR - which is clearly the main critique. You claim my opinion is wrong then there are two options: you can explain why you have a different opinion and lay it out or simply ignore it cause you're not forced to explain yourself to me. But don't come at me with the "onus is one me" BS... please....

Might be like he's just jumped off a building and isn't in the full swing so he's a bit closer.
