Yes. I singled-out GTA 6 mainly for that reason, also Witcher 4 won't have anywhere near the city simulation of GTA 6. Graphics though I think it'll be something that will blow us away!
Sorry i wasnt clear. The big battles i played before the patch. I am not sure if those effects were the entire screen gets pixelated have been fixed.
the witcher 4 demo had all of the things you see in Crimson Desert's cities. Huge NPC variety, kids picking up dropped fruits, bears, shop owners haggling etc. They may not be going for destruction and physics but the actual city will be next gen. The graphics already look next gen and it was running at 60 fps on a base PS5 using hardware RT. the base PS5 version of Crimson Desert looks like pixelated garbage. you and I will be running that game on Path Tracing.
RenoDX added shadows and AO to the grass and foilage that helped a lot with this, but it's not currently working due to the patch.I think i figured out why the foliage looks that color. The screenspace shadows are the cause, and the fact that they only come on when you look directly at them. it thinks you are the sun lol.
Also the second part of the gif shows how the plants lose their green texture as you get just a little bit away from them. can someone mod in RT shadows in this game?
Reflections are mostly fine because they are RT. Only the side of the screen seem to be relying on screenspace. Leaving out RT shadows for performance reasons was another huge mistake by this dev team.
lol the Steam Engine area is beautiful until you turn it on and it completely falls apart. the basement has a sprinkler system that completely destroys the lighting creating what is inarguably the most noisiest RT game ive ever seen.
The gif actually doesnt capture just how noisy the artifacts look on the character's armor. Once i got up, the wheels had so much noise on them that it was pretty much impossible to see them behind all the RT noise artifacts. Had to check and see if Ray reconstruction was on. The game is mostly fine outdoors and in some indoor areas with no movement but add in some godrays and other dynamic elements like water and movement and it completely falls apart.
If it was snake slime it could have been perfect.
Not really. It reduced noise for me in some situations. Shadows are also higher res, but still flicker, since there is unfortunately still nothing that can be done regarding LOD.
I went back and forth with this mod last night and found no differences anywhere. Maybe it's setting dependent, but right from the description it lists cloud fixes as a bullet point and they are identical without the mod, so I'm pretty sure they just changed a bunch of xml settings that don't actually do anything.
After checking more carefully I must admit it's a placebo unfortunately... Sorry guys!
been playing with lighting on Cinematic and RR off 4k DLAA and yeah, the game loses its next gen sheen even outdoors.Ray Reconstruction can change interior rendering dramatically. Though without it, Crimson Desert does not necessarily look shitty:
RR off:
RR on:
Too bad that DLSS still degrades terrain details, so I'm constantly switching between 'DLSS + RR' for indoors and 'Upscalers off' for outdoors.
I honestly tried everything and the game ALWAYS looks off to me. Different version of DLSS, FSR, upscaling off, DLAA, RR on and off. I ended up using cinematic settings and DLSS4 quality with RR off. RR on makes the game a blurry mess
you can try it yourself. He fixed the issue. Anything over LOD values 1 causes issues but they fixed the grass shadows as well.
its simply unacceptable but try DLAA with lighting set to Cinematic instead of MAX and ray reconstruction off. yes, it doesnt look next gen anymore, but at least it doesnt look like 240p during combat and rain.
But let's glaze this engine just because it doesn't stutter, shall we?!
Yeah i dont like this engine at all. If you turn on everything, it still really demanding engine and the image quality looks like garbage. I just really hate how this game looks
Game looks great in gifs and still frame pics, way less in motion and even way less when you don't cherry pick, i saw some pics of boji in the ot where the game look like an early ps4 game and i'm not even joking.
Something most people dont talk about is how blurry or rather non-sharp this game looks even at 4k DLAA. I thought i would be getting this crisp, clear and clean image but it's still retain a very soft look. Not blurry per se but just not the eye melting goodness ive come to expect from DLAA in other games.
lol dont tempt me. But yes, night time in this game looks rough at times.
I can safely challenge you because horizon never turn into a commodore64 game with special effects on screen so yeah, do your worse.Something most people dont talk about is how blurry or rather non-sharp this game looks even at 4k DLAA.

And yes, lighting at MAX drops framerates by 60%! Ray reconstruction by another 20%. This is much heavier than Snowdrop, Anvil and UE5 titles despite using a lot of last gen techniques to save on performance. The rockstar guy was looking at brick walls showing deplacement maps and i couldnt help but compare it to the brick walls in mafia. It's a generation behind in both textures and tesselation.
How the fuck does his game look so colorfull? Is he playing in vivid mode
It does but only to vehicles' windows and a few of the highly reflective vehicle bodies. It's the only underwhelming thing I guess. Should've went PSSR2 upscale from internal 1080p resolution.
It's a $25 game. Reviewers don't seem to take this into account.
