Graphical Fidelity I Expect This Gen

Made it to the late afternoon section. Sadly, I'm not sure you can disable all these visual effects in photo mode so it looks a little bit cluttered.

Playing it on fidelity, after two hours - graphically I am not impressed at all. I do like how fast it is though? Also after checking out Brooklyn and queens - they’re so different from the actual Brooklyn and queens I thought it’d be closer to the actual area

Quality of RT reflections

Nice to see that car mirrors work like mirrors. That's something that even Forza Motorsport can't do

Ok now i'm serious, that first pic can't be with maxed quality rtx right in fidelity mode, right?

This can't be the rtx reflections that df was bragging about as the best in the business...right?

It's fidelity at 40FPS. I've tried 30FPS mode but it gave me a headache after a couple of minutes.

Imagine buying this game and not being able to find any enjoyment from it because you're too busy looking for all the flaws. Why not post some actual shots that impressed you?

I legit feel sorry for some of you..
Thread whining is a banable offense.

Interesting. I've never been to NY but what's really disapointing for me is how many iconic buildings are not in the game. As someone who at one point in time was involved in SkyscraperCity forum, it really hurts.

Also, there's a feeling of graphical disparity between old Manhattan island from the last 2 games and the new area. There's just more detail packed into Brooklyn.

Is max difficulty harder than max difficulty on morales (that was kind of a joke with the venom powers)?

Too early to tell but yeah you have a lot of powers at the start + some moves that were blocked behind a skill before are now unlocked at the start.

Right click on the image. Click on Copy Image Address. click on the picture icon next to the emoji icon or do CTRL+P, and paste the url there.

P.S I didnt know zombies could wield weapons in Days Gone.

Maybe i wasn't clear, i don't want to use imgur to upload the img, i just want to post the img that is already uploaded into imgur, but the usual method doens't work.
and if i download the img to use the forum uploader it looks tiny and low res, not how it appear in reeee at full res.

Sorry, I'm playing this new next-gen game and I've misread your post. SlimySnake SlimySnake got you covered!

Dude i know how to post img, it's because the usual method doesn't work that i asked.

Is it because i'm from a tablet and not on my pc?

Insomniac's human models in general are kinda wack. I remember one character artist was trashing human models in Detroit Become Human for some reason, and it's like bruh, even Quantic Dream's PS3 character models are a generation ahead of yours.

Yeah I mean graphically it looks a little better in Bk/queens building wise - it’s a small nitpick because obviously it’d be insane to do 1:1… I understand they have to heavily condense - I guess I just thought it’d be closer to it than it actually is.

I always tought Spider-Man 2 looked quite average from the first gameplay reveal, not much better than the first one and DLC remastered. But I admit I've always visited this topic and seen trailers on my smartphone, now that I'm visiting this thread from my PC on a 4K screen, it look a lot worse than I tought. Is not a bad looking game obviously, but you have to be crazy to think this looks much better than the first one (in some aspect actually it seems worse, like textures and even main characters models).

City looks super cool from this perspective. That skybox is gorgeous. Freedom Tower wannabe doesn't blend well.

So much contrast between this shot and the one's you posted that where ground level or the one's at the beginning with the smoke and sand. Those looked horrible, this looks amazing.

Game is extremely uneven graphically and you really need to work hard to make it look its best.

I'm still very early on but so far I don't like the mission design. Opening was bombastic but it was the same on-rails QTE ride that we've been before oh so many times, just on a bigger scale.

Then it was back to doing stuff like setting up radio towers and fighting small-time goons on the street.

After that the game made me clean up the house and now I'm riding a bicycle.

Is this really what they think we want to do in a super-hero game? Really?

I miss those Batman games….

Old rocksteady and old WB Montreal were light years ahead of this woke AAA casualized slop
 
Not to far of this

Days gone characters looked better imo - feels like something’s off with the lighting or something in sm2, at least at a lot of points. Looks like flat with their skin/clothes or something - like it’s painted on or not textured properly - I don’t know how to describe it. Maybe it gets better in that respect
 
Lol I’ve seen enough… looks like SP2 gets dunked on by demon souls and horizon 2

Insomniac further solidifies themselves as the B grade studio they are

They were honestly not too bad last gen. I think something went horribly wrong with this game's polishing phase. The trailers had way better quality character models in cutscenes. I am honestly blown away by how mediocre these characters look. It's like they didnt bother doing the second pass on some of these cutscenes.

These are from the PS4 version.

This is the before and after the character change. both look better than the Peter above.

Even MJ looked better.

Here is the bullshot they released at the end of the Miles reveal so called captured on PS5 trailer. Why couldnt they simply put this in a next gen only Spiderman game?

Gents, for your viewing pleasure.
Between you and my nephew I'm fuckin dead. Was browsing your post when he turns up to pick some stuff up, tell him to come in the doors open. He walks in has no idea wtf i'm looking at and he just opens up with a drive by comment "what's that, I always new you were into midget porn but browsing down syndrome porn is a new low even for you."

This is ultimately why I'm not touching the game yet, but will eventually get it because my sons fav super hero is Spiderman. The last one I stopped playing after about 6 hours and this one just kind of looks more or less the same, just a visually improved world and better traversal, but the same core gameplay loop that didn't interest me.

I was pretty impressed what they did with the sand intro. Not gonna lie, it takes balls to do a major setpiece like that completely changing the look of your open world knowing full well it wont look great.

Could they have made better looking sand? Maybe. but half of ny was covered in sand and they chose NOT to just switch to 6 months later right away. They let the sand stay there after the boss fight and let you do story missions while the city is half, destroyed covered in sand etc.. I admire that.

I still fail to be impressed by SM2.
It's just the sm1 but running faster, higher res and loading much faster.
And there is RT if you squint hard enough.

imagine if uncharted4 looked exactly 3 but just ran at 60fps 1440p. yay ?
Are we really pretending these are some big changes? Aside from loading/traversal speed, there is nothing new
