What a gorgeous game
will smith rewind GIF
 
Only 3 more months. Crazy how Series X went from having "no graphical showcases" to having arguably two of the best in the span of a year!*

*I mean in terms of photorealism. Tho artistically I think FH5 and FS 2020 are very strong, too. In any case it's really a free-for-fall between those two, Rift Apart, and Demon's Souls for best current-gen visuals ATM, and it completely comes down to personal preference at that point.
 
Should I jump in day 1 or should I wait for patches? How has their track record day 1?

Am enjoying FH4 right now. It's pretty good but wouldn't mind dropping if FH5 turns out solid from start.

Battle 2042 will win. Battlefield 5 was super hot.

Don't get me wrong, I freaking love the Forza Horizons series and am going to buy an Xbox Series X just for 5(if I can find a system).

Not matter if it was streamed or not, I just can't stand "next gen" previews/trailers that are uploaded in 1080p when we know the native resolution is above that.
Call it a pet peeve or whatever but I don't think it helps with impressions or hype when you have tech that's capable of capturing the native gameplay resolution.

Stream it in 4k.

Oh okay.



Yeah, but it's possible they weren't able to take FULL advantage of the next-gen console since it's also on the Xbox One. Maybe full SSD streaming isn't being fully utilized.
i see what youre getting at but

playing on a One X i do not ever remember seeing this much pop up

Looks great I just hope a logitech g920 works great like it did on forza games before horizon 4 which was garbage on a 920.

That's a possibility, that sandstorm is really impressive in the game for sure. That said 2042 is stretched over more platforms to support than the other games mentioned, and I don't know if a game super laser-focused on competitive MP will afford certain fidelity touches to parts of the visuals (because they could get in the way of the gameplay and intended game physics for competitive play).

It'll be one of the best lookers of the year tho regardless, especially on Series X, PS5 and PC.

Battlefield was on base xbox and ps4, yet it looked gorgeous. Same thing will happen to battlefield 2042 on those platform. But the beauty will be shined on the next gen console, especially when the graphics are cranked up.

Here is just a preview.


Actual game might be little different though. Better or worst.

The environment in the trailer has insane details. Especially the tornado.
