OMG! I was floored when I reached this area. Saros is such an overlooked gem, I'm close to finishing it too.

Bought SW Outlaws Gold at a good discount, it's a gorgeous game with gorgeous lighting, but man is it still full of bugs. It's just short of being one of the best visually if not for the issues.
I don't understand Ubi man, they're just content with being mediocre, decent or just good enough. They just don't want to make an effort to polish things a bit.

I don't know what improvements they have made since shadows but the game seems to use more stylized visuals and more vibrant color tone, which, mixed with the water, looks more pleasing, perhaps. Shadows had a much bigger budget, and I feel it is more consistent and more detailed from what I've seen so far. Also lets see if this has the same granular destruction as shadows, which allowed you to cut multiple bamboo shoots and vegetation, etc. I feel shadows gets overlooked due to his more subdued and muted tone, which comes across as more boring to many.

Thoughts on Star Fox? Looks like a PS3.5 game to me.
In terms of gameplay, i was shocked at how basic it was. Both Avatar and Outlaws feel like ps3 era games. I am pretty down on ps4 feeling Sony games this gen, but i never expected to play ps3 era gameplay this gen.
It's insane how much effort they put into the visuals and how little effort they put into the cutscenes and storytelling. Just garbage all around. I appreciate Massive trying to do single player games, but you need to get the cutscenes right. This game looks a generation ahead of Death Stranding 2, but two gens behind in cutscenes. This simply should not happen.Bought SW Outlaws Gold at a good discount, it's a gorgeous game with gorgeous lighting, but man is it still full of bugs.

yep. i think the more vibrant color tone is making it pop more. there were certain times of day/weather/season where Shadows could really pop too but due to the dynamic nature of the weather system, it wasnt as consistently bright and in your face.
The Caribbean gets a lot more sunshine which is probably why they went with a brighter more punchier look. it looks stunning.

It's a mixed bag all around. The highs are fantastic like shown on the other thread, but it also doesn't have a lot going on. Compared to Bananza and MK World though? A gen ahead easily.

Yeah, but even on the visual side, it can easily be on top of everything. I mean with RTXDI every light casts shadows and emits the light on surfaces, even those little buttons, it's insane.
But it also has issues even on the highest settings with RTXDI and RR with reflections, smearing and just a general lack of polish. It's also hungry a with the Vram, something like 21 GB.
Even though I don't care that much for cutscenes or take them too much into consideration for visuals, yeah they are weak and given its a SW game they should have been much better.
But again, this is just Ubi, not caring too much or thinking it's good enough, its their motto.
On the gameplay side, yeah, very basic, but you know, underneath it all, there are some interesting ideas and concepts there. The feeling is there, but it's just like with the rest, everything is "half-assed" not explored to its full potential and also the bugs, Jesus Christ.

Ultra meh imo.
I'm sure the final game will deliver, but there's absolutely nothing pleasing in this footage to me. Aside from a kind of confirmation of RT reflections finally implemented in the ND Engine.

I mean, this is either bait or you suck at looking at things. I'm betting on bait though, lol
