Graphical Fidelity I Expect This Gen

lol this looks dated as fuck. only the chase sequence holds up. the market scene looks bland in terms of lighting, the forest areas look even worse. and people are comparing this to bond?



I mean I played Lost Legacy on PC less than a year ago and it easily looks better than Bond and it's not particularly close. Gameplay, cinematics, character detail, asset quality, texture quality, LOD, animations, you name it. Bond has more impressive lighting and probably hair, but outside of that, Uncharted beats Bond. Still having an awesome time with Bond, mind you. But purely visually speaking it's just not that impressive.


Some of my shots when I played Lost Legacy:

i mean that level isnt representative of the full game. but if you look at the footage in the DF video, you will see just how dated the lighting looks in u4.

Most people will not see the problem you're referring to at all. The difference is quite small in most scenes.

Lighting is a component of graphics and does not supersede other components.

Regardless of how the lighting looks in 007, it'll never be believable with those terrible animations. Even more than the low res textures, nothing ruins a game's graphics for me more than terrible animations.

I don't view it that drastically, but yeah, it's the lighting that drags it down. It has the polish, animations and whatnot, but that's the difference between its best vs worst, the lighting.

I noticed this also in TLOU2, played it recently on PC, amazing looking. But there are moments, especially the island level at night, where exactly the lighting is what drags it down.
