Just wrapped up 007 First Light. I'm a bit mixed on the game overall, but visually it was frequently impressive, if inconsistent. Reminded me a bit of Control, actually.

A few more of my shots

I am near the end of 007. The outdoor environments do not look anywhere close to the photos above, especially the further you get in the game.

I have no idea how this game could cost 200mil dollars. The Last of Us 2 cost the same amount with developers living in Santa Monica vs Finland. The Last of Us 2 was fully motion captured. Cutscenes in 007 have background NPC's standing motionless. Outside a few cinematic action scenes, the cinematics are not on the level they should be for a James Bond game

It is too bad because the story of 007 is phenomenal. I really hope IO can fully motion capture their next game. They deserve it

We are almost reaching that Wii U tech demo

If they can deliver this I'll buy my first Nintendo console since the Wii. They should be shooting for this.

Alright man if you're going to do this then I'm going to have to bring my own 2018/Ragnorak screenshots. Screenshots that I grabbed myself while playing each of these games on PC.

Does Laufey look better than this? Sure, I guess. In the same way Assassin's Creed Odyssey looks better than Assassin's Creed Origins, maybe.

The "jump" to Laufey from God of War 2018 is what we would've expected to see within the same generation , ala Uncharted to Uncharted 2 or Bioshock to Bioshock Infinite. Not 9 years later on next generation hardware.

I've played and beaten the game three times. Then put in almost 100 hours into valhalla and the game does not look like that all the time.

I can literally count the areas that look good.
1) opening scene in the snow.
2) atreus climbing the mountain to asgard
3) arreus exploring jotenheim
4) midgard open world/frozen lake

The rest is all ps4 era garbage. Hellheim, musphelheim, vanaheim, the crater and alfheims desert all look like utter garbage. Game looks great during cutscenes like most Sony games and some linear areas but for a 50 hour game to look good only 5 hours is not acceptable. im hoping faye is a lot more consistent.

Thanks for these pictures my friend but fact faye looks hugely better, here's your direct feed pc version pictures(which is better than any ps5 version) compared to Faye ps5 youtube pictures

Lighting, environment, character models and hair all looks hugely better and considering Faye run at 60fps with those visuals I really like it.

It doesn't look that different to me. Maybe a little better but nothing crazy. But sometimes this happens and then when you play it it's a whole other ball game

"Looks even better in motion" is definitely a thing, but at the same time I do think the new one looks better by a small margin.

Character animation should be EA Sports next #1 priority.

That sudden animation 'snap' when they decide to stop running needs to be smoother, especially since we will be heading into next gen soon and the snow will look even better.

For me looks the same as 2018 , a Jaguar and 1.8TFs engine

I think part of it is that Gears 5 was arguably one of the top 5 best looking games of last gen, so the expectation was for E-Day to follow suite. Instead E-Day just looks like a mid UE5 game.

Again, hopefully the PC version surprises us.

I Personaly think YT is decimating the detail in Gears. Mark my words.

Most of the games shown were indeed next gen. problem is that wolverine and gears fail to look better than indie games, that will dominate the discussion.

i think this was a good e3 with lots of stunning games shown.

my top 10:
- ILL
- Halo remake
- God Of War Laundry
- Silent Hill Townfall
- College Football
- genAtlas
- Stellar Blade 2
- Until Dawn 2
- RE Code Veronica
- Crossfire

I feel like Im the only one here who thinks YT did Gears dirty and its gonna blow minds upon direct observation....no one else??

Odissey doesnt really look better than origins...

I would kinda say the opposite even just because egypt is much more visually starking and interesting than greece, at least in the games.

GymWolf · 2026-06-10T08:38:52+0100

Western developers really did a number on us over the years if that is what we consider "pretty"
