If you still playing on series s on any base console in 2026 then you just hate yourself and you are masochist.

[Sept Terrion Of Nothing]

This looks amazing

Tides of Annihilation is one of my top tier anticipated game. I really hope they deliver.

 

[Gonzito]

Man...what are these assets?

There is so much laziness in this game's graphics.

FFS, are they reusing assets from Hitman Blood money, from 2006?

 

[Cumulus]

FFS, are they reusing assets from Hitman Blood money, from 2006?

I honestly don´t know what some people in this thread expected from that game. It`s IOI with at best AA budget and it never looked beyond "ok" in most of the released gameplay material.

 

[Gonzito]

The amount of shitty textures and assets I am finding while I am playing is just ridiculous man. I am having ff7 Remake-Rebirth flashbacks

I understand where you are coming from but I don't think this is a fair assessment
I think its fair to expect the game to meet the quality standard of a ps5 videogame.

But these textures are from the ps3 era and I am being generous

This is not normal in a 2026 videogame

 

[roosnam1980]

dont worry guys ,upcoming path tracing patch will fix everything

 

[Cumulus]

That looks "placeholder level" bad. Maybe a major texture loading bug like Wukong had? If not....well

 

[Gonzito]

No it isn't. Its just how the game looks in the second big level with all the settings at max. Its lazy and unacceptable

You sure it's not a VRAM streaming issue?

 

[Gonzito]

You sure it's not a VRAM streaming issue?

My brother I have 4090 and I am using 8gb of VRAM, its impossible

 

[mindfreak191]

You sure it's not a VRAM streaming issue?

Yeah, looking at those it does look like something is not loading correctly, gonna try to get to this level today and report back.

 

[Lootlord]

Yeah, could still be a bug though.

Yep, it's late PS3/early PS4.

8GB bros from this thread:

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Yeah, I just played the first real mission in that chess tournament, and holy moly, there are some serious graphical issues, especially the low-res textures and very weird looking assets. The first mission fooled me, but this is definitely a PS4 game alright.

Yeah, even Spider-Man 2, which is pretty underwhelming graphically, the infiltration scene smokes 007

I'm tired of this shit. Like seriously, let people with a lot of VRAM download a high rez texture pack FFS.
Maybe by the time I'll play this with PT, modder will have high rez textures pak. Hopefully.

The quality of these assets is so fundamentally broken that I dont even know how a modder could fix something like this. I am not expert but I think it would require to remake the asset completely from scratch lol

And to be honest, the hitman games never had this issue. This is a problem with this game, it's probably been rushed

 

[Vick]

Yep, it's late PS3/early PS4.

After the amount of hours I've just recently spent on God of War 3.. not even close.
Drake's Fortune textures from 2007 were generations above this thing, I don't recall a single asset looking even remotely as bad.

Just referring to the 2003 PS2 trash posted, not the heights of the game obviously.

 

[roosnam1980]

looks like the whole budget went to 007s character model

I think they did a good job for FF7 for example. It's far from perfect mind you, but it's far better:

Now with 007 the geometry is so low that it could indeed be more complicated.

 

[archangelmorph]

This looks amazing

Fuck me did I misread the genre for this game?

It looks like Chinese God of War 3.

 

[Vick]

Speaking of God of War, just played Valhalla to get an idea of GoW Remakes and man, Kratos models look so damn good.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah, at this point in judging how good a game looks, I believe animations are just as important as fidelity. Uncharted 4 in motion is still more impressive to me for that reason

But I much prefer the combat in 007. I will probably enjoy 007 more as an overall game than UC4, which doesn't have enough depth in combat for me

They have always been, i'm probably more of a fan of animations than raw graphic if i have to chose.


Btw i want to start the game but right now i'm a fucking cyclops so it would probably wiser to start tomorrow when i can remove the bandages

 

[GymWolf]

This looks amazing

Always looked very promising.

decima engine strikes again.

santa monica always use 99% of their raw power to render kratos so the other characters must battle for that 1% left, i still remember puking when i saw the model of hera...

Same console that made this

let's not even start with the new gows...

Can anyone else confirm this? I have a feeling that papito's GPU is dying with all these poo textures he keeps posting game after game
I refuse to believe

They definitely tend to prioritize their hero model..

But what kind of screenshot is that? lol
Hera looked definitely kind of bad compared to the rest of game, but still in line with regular PS3 secondary models from 2010.

I think she looks very subpar.

Santa monica have always had their weird stylized characters style except for kratos that is somehow realistic, so they clash a lot.

I never liked santa monica character rendering\faces, i think it has always been their weak point.

I mean, how are these fuckers ps5 characters?

 

[viveks86]

let's not even start with the new gows...

Now i definitely want to

Ragnarok is so damn uneven. One moment it's like this:

And the next, it's like this:

Most of Vanaheim is just a gross mess of PS3 era foliage. It's like each realm was designed by different art leads and the one who got Vanaheim was the black sheep in the group. Couldn't even get the baking right

Please do

Ok, haven't gotten to that exact part, only managed to get past the first fist fight in Aleph, but all the carpets looked fine to me, none like the one in your screenshot :/ Washing machine, while not super ultra detail also didn't look as yours, it almost seems as if the game is loading the lowest LOD possible. I might be wrong and maybe it looks like crap later on, but so far so good.

Yeah, I'm already ahead so I don't really feel like going back to that level right now and admitedly I didn't pay much attention but those screenshots made me curious and I've been trying to find equally shitty textures in the level I'm at and I haven't found any yet as well.
Either that particular level was made in a rush or the problem is not the game me thinks.

I'll report back if I find anything as atrocious as that.

Papitos these textures are there for everyone

I am a 100% positive I am right

You have to go to the right places to find them, in this case the area of these textures is

Spoiler

where you open certain container and there is ambush as a result

 

[SlimySnake]

really good texture work here on the walls. Great lighting on the building as well.

 

[GymWolf]

Bojji if 007 already has the latest dlss file and dlss 4.5, do i actually need to change to profile M or you think it's already using profile M??

And i guess that with 4.5 i can just use perf mode and save resources for other things.

Have you tried multiple dlss modes?

Game has native support similar to "nvidia recommended" - so K for DLAA, Quality, Balanced, M for Performance and L for UP.

yeah wait until you get to the next mission

Man some npc look hideous lol, I guess pathtracing might help in these cases

 

[anyasok]

If you ask me, requiem is the graphic king of this year, the highs are insane.

Hb2 if you just want the best of the best but it is barely a game.

Highs are high but lows on par or worse than Bond

 

[GymWolf]

Better ingame model than aloy uh...

Spoiler

 

[GymWolf]

Highs are high but lows on par or worse than Bond

disagree a bit, pt on pc make look even mid ass areas like raccoon city, at least decent, the lows i saw of 007 are ps4 launch level, but i still have to play the game.

And every game has lows, no game is virtually perfect everywhere, you judge the graphic king for the highs, who has the highest highs, win.

I think that part on the street with grace at the beginning is gonna remain unbeaten this year unless gta6 is gonna have some stricted alley part where they can pump the graphic like crazy and recreate that level of photorealism, but without pt it's gonna be hard.

And people know how much i usually shit on RE engine and japanese developers

 

[CGNoire]

Some of Bond's levels look straight out of the PS4 era. But then randomly within the same level, the lighting just comes together and it looks next gen. Talking specifically about the big club scene. So many NPCs but the lighting is mid and the whole thing just feels last gen. And then you go into a bathroom and it looks next gen again. Great destruction too.

Can you disable the hud elements?

No

no but seriously, still no
