Oh shit. Is CoD finally get a next gen only version 6 years in?

Yep. Was explicitly confirmed 2 weeks ago:

Which means that 60 fps held back graphics. You can't have all of them, something have to give. Since there is no other GPUs in these consoles we're down to two options.

Again, only in games from devs who chose to target those high resolutions. Aside from Sony, most devs went with 1440p 30 fps starting late 2022 with Callisto, Plague's Tale both targeting that resolution despite shipping 60 fps modes. Callisto gave up ray tracing for its 60 fps mode while Plague's tale shipped their 60 fps mode a bit later with toned down graphics.

By 2023, Star Wars jedi survivor, starfield, ff16, alan wake 2, and avatar were targeting 1440p 30 fps and i wouldnt say any of those games were held back by the inclusion of a 60 fps target.

Devs have only improved their RT pipelines since then. AC Black Flags wont be stripping out RT in its 60 fps mode like AC Shadows did. Epic has made software lumen available at 1080p 60 fps after 720p-864p 60 fps games up until last year. And Im ok with 1080p 60 fps target since they are basically equivalent to 1440p 30 fps in terms of the pixel budget. like i said, any lower and you run into scenarios where graphics fidelity jsut doesnt translate on to the screen because the IQ is too low. its why DriveClub and batman AK look like garbage on 4k screens.

Leaked Virtua Fighter footage.

I must say that the animation quality & lighting looks sick.

Looking forward to this.

Yes - MW4 is current gen only, on a completely new/ revamped engine, so it should look amazing, and rumor has it there's Destruction now.

Looks much better now, looks great.

They did.
RT disables after the spider battle in the first part of Raccoon City, then it reactivates in the bike chase, thankfully R.P.D. and Orphanage are identical to pre-patch, then disables again until you reach the ARK and right after you enter RT stays on until the end.
I'd recommend playing with 1.00 disc version (still has PSSR2) until a patch, for consistency sake. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

The inconsistency of that is absurd. Fuck Capcom

Looks much better now, looks great.

Other than GTA6 this is the game Im most excited for. It's going to be great.

This one looks good

Cory new game will top everything this generation

I went back and played some GoW 2018 yesterday and in some ways it looks better than Ragnarok. That game was mind blowing in 2018 on the Pro. Balrog is the goat. Ragnarok looks more refined graphically but it also lost something that's hard to put my finger on. The impact and hit reactions you see from enemies was done better in 2018. The set pieces were better too. Fighting Thor and Odin wasn't as impressive as even the very first fight against Baulder.

Having a good director versus a goat tier director like Corey can make all the difference. Like the way one game gave us hints while still respecting our intelligence while the other had to tell us exactly what to do to solve every puzzle. When do you think we'll see Balrogs game? It has been so long.

I'd be disappointed if it's not in the upcoming SoP. They are showing it off in theaters and inviting journalists. It's about time!

Great. Almost CGI'ish visuals because of great AA.

 

[ResetEraVetVIP]

The character faces are great, wonder how the rest will fare.

Agreed. Ragnarok has better faces than 2018, but 2018 has better effects, materials, and physics imo. 2018 just looks… Sharper and tighter overall to me.
