It's because not everyone gives that many fucks about realistic lights and we can apprecciate how the game destroy 95% of games in the market in other aspects while being a 2 years old crossgen massive open world.
Its probably the saturated artstyle, you might prefer more muted/realistic colors and artstyle.
Did you expected much life in the topic when the biggest game of the moment is fucking dragon dogma 2?
If horizon graphics are dated then what does that say about 95percent of games released so far that are inferior. The lighting engine is a weak point but that's simply because most everything else is very high tier and the end package is gorgeous. The lighting engine itself is up there with most other games not using rt gi and its using baked lighting and standard gi just like spiderman 2 which you hype to high heavens despite its lighting being unremarkable outside select scenarios and times of the day just like horizon.
Definitely that is true, sadly they were made to create a cross gen release for the ps4 and they did an amazing job with that in mind. That being said to claim the game looks dated and on the same side say spiderman 2 is in contention for best graphics is jarring especially when being critical of inconsistent lighting.
The game was crossgen, let them cook on a proper ps5.
I wanna see more of the "gameplay", some nice animations (that still look worse compared to tlou2) during the 1vs1 is not enough to pay full price.
I really hope this comes to ps5 at some point, my pc is really out of date now and don't want to spend the money upgrading it or buying an xbox, but want to play this.
This is the same guy who lost his mind over Spider-Man 2, rational thought is not on his agenda.
I say a lot of stupid shit myself, we all have irrational thoughts sometimes
I agree. PS5 pro wont magically make the games look that much different.
Adding rtx can just mean adding rtx shadows or reflections.
That's why i said that they are gonna make something that a base ps5 can sustain and just add bells and whistles in the pro version, raytraced reflections and shadows are exactly that, not something as transformative as a complete new light system.
Like alan wake 2, its only $40. $10 if you get it on gamepass. cant hurt to try it for graphics.
Nope, sorry, i'm a gamer before being a graphic whore, i never bought a game just for the graphic, at worse i double dipped on pc to play the better version of games that i already liked on console.
Didnt DF say that the Death Stranding 2 trailer showed off glimpses of RTGI? I think GG will definitely add RTGI to their game. It helps with these forest and wilderness areas the most and especially with day and night cycles. So its possible the base PS5 version already has RTGI and the PS5 Pro likely uses more rays or more bounce per rays similar to the cyberpunk and dragons dogma 2 mods.
I'm gonna be severely unimpressed if that is what we get with h3.Didnt DF say that the Death Stranding 2 trailer showed off glimpses of RTGI? I think GG will definitely add RTGI to their game.

But I also dont think we are getting lighting anywhere close to that cg trailer this gen though. The biggest lighting upgrade in that trailer are the volumetric lighting effects which RTGI will enhance for sure but those are very heavy even in linear games. Even Avatar eschews those volumetric lighting effects in the open world, and spiderman 2 straight up cut them after the original reveal.
Here is that CG trailer for TLOU2. Look at the volumetric fog effects. yes, the animations are amazing, and asset quality is higher but nothing we havent seen from nanite. its that thick fog and volumetric effects that give games a cg feel and you are not getting that in an open world game this gen.
Most people dont realize that the very first Horizon trailer had this very cg look before it was downgraded. So this was likely their target before suits came in and forced them to downgrade the PS5 version. You can see some great draw distance, way more impressive foliage, way better asset quality, lighting quality, god rays, and shadows far into the distance.
I bet this is what we finally get in Horizon 3 with a slightly more realistic color tone.
PR material from a, in this form, not actually existing game is not exactly a strong argument for the PS5 Pro being basically capable to 1-up CP2077s 4090-PC pathtracing.
Amy said its a linear action adventure game.
Dude, the one not paying attention is you.
Linear like a dmc or "linear" like past 2 gow?
I don't think that even a 4090 can make that trailer fully playable tbh.
Then there is a chance that all the footage is actually real.I think the order. the paris rooftop level gave me the order vibes.
The combat looks fucking visceral as fuck and hard hitting as fuck. 1 vs 1 encounters and literally every encounter is mo capped. This thing is gonna be special for graphic whores.
yeah, i can run cyberpunk PT at 30 fps at 4k dlss performance though not consistently as it drops to 27 and 25 fps at times. with some settings downgrades and maybe one PT ray instead of two they should be able to run it on the PS5 pro if the leaks are true and the RT performance is roughly equivalent to a 3080. The question is will anyone bother?
I don't like the whole mocapped thing, it means that you are not gonna see unscripted/dynamic/physics based moments, it looks fake compared to tlou2, like a coreographed dance instead of a brutal fight.
in the dev Q&A at GDC, they said 20-30% of the trailer was gameplay footage. the whole trailer was realtime but apparently a lot of it was actual gameplay.
i remember going from TLOU2 to Ghost of Tsushima in a span of a couple of weeks and I was like wtf is this janky mess. but i got used to it after a few hours and even learned to love the flashy and yes, i concede, gamey animations.
Love the faces in this game. Also, I now recognize that the ML rigs 3Lateral developed for 1946 (and presumably Hellblade 2) are superior in the amount of animation/motion capture they’re able to provide. It’s the leap in facial animations that sets apart what we’re seeing in 1946.A couple more Horizon Forbidden Screenshots on PC in 4K Ultrawide with DLSS Quality
Fighting games are never gonna do that because you rely on predictability.
Would a path tracing solution be possible on the Pro though? Using smaller samples to minimise demand on the GPU?
