I just took Aloy for a swim. Happy to report she does get wet

No, I'm comparing both pre-release and Forbidden West's pre-release footage looks a lot better overall than Ragnarok's.

I *want* it to improve to the point that it blows Forbidden West out of the water. But in all likelihood it won't.

Your opinion is irrelevant to me, and I'm unsure why you're so invested in mine.

Afterall your known angle is that of the rabid Sony 1st party defender, and all I'm doing is comparing two Sony 1st party games.

It's not like I brought up an Xbox studio game which is what would normally trigger your smarmy, defensive posts. Lol

I'm not investing in you.
Just your option is not exactly what you can see in the footage.

Now if you say Horizon now looks better than Ragnarok released footage I will definitively agree.

The store strikes yet again. Time to get started.

Please buy another copy because that one is in Performance mode.
Too blurry to my tastes.

From the sharpness... Res Mode... even so it is a compressed JPG.

I have no interest in the game as the first one bored me.

But damn does it look great, cross gen or not.

It's sad but it looks better than Ragnarok despite it being open world and coming out before.

Sony Santa Monica needs to step up their game. They were the graphics kings of Sony studios on PS3 with GOW3 and Ascension but they lost that crown last gen.

Ragnarok will probably look much better in the next showing

Man this game looks fucking good on my 4k Sony Oled mann.. i have never seen such a beautiful game,, like ever. This game has soul. Its reminds me of Witcher 3. Definitely deserves GOTY. This game surpasses all the Open World RPG out there, the animation the details the song tracks. Except the storyline cause i haven't finished yet.

I can’t believe I’ve started to really enjoy Cyberpunk and this drops tomorrow.

I think this looks too good to be cross gen. Only guerilla could confirm I guess but this looks ps5 then dumbed down to ps4 after the fact rather than planned for ps4 from the start.

Probs became a ps4 game when the scope of the shortage became clear.

No, the game started development on the PlayStation 4 right after HZD came out.

Horizon Forbidden West – A Lot of Development, Playtesting is Done on PS4

gamingbolt.com

Speaking to Game Informer in a new video interview, game director Mathijs de Jonge revealed that much of the development and playtesting has already been done on PS4. “A lot of the development has taken place on the PlayStation 4 and a lot of playtesting is also done on PlayStation 4 so we are ensuring that owners of that console will have a great experience and that the game will look fantastic on that console.”

Of course, the PS5 affords the potential to go much further.

Fair does, guess we are in for a visual treat with the next one then.

Ascension and Gow3 looked better than TLOU.

Way bigger scale, way more effects on screen, better textures and zero LOD whereas rocks from only a few meters ahead in TLOU often had to load in.

 

[Strider Highwind]

My big C1 is waiting downstairs(75 inch) and I've got a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow and the same for Elden Ring next week. My co-workers are hating

Yep both ps3's Gow look better although I'm not so sure about the LOD part.I do think there is a lod system in place but it has been fine tuned thanks to the fix camera(or scripted camera travelling if you rather).And furthermore I do think that the camera they use allowed them to push graphics way more than it could've been possible with a free camera.
But other than that small nitpick they looked and still look amazing.

Just don't imagine her as you f*ck toy and it'll be alright. She could just be your badass sister or something...

You can clearly see some features/effects being hold back by PS4.
The lack of RT is the main one.

Do you think she is not good enough as a f*ck toy? I disagree.

 

[saintjules]

I've been toggling between perf and res for a bit. As much as I love the detail and how everything pops in res, performance will be the way to go for me. It looks great as is on my OLED display. No complaints so far.

The £59.99 PS4 version on PSN gives you the PS5 version too. I bought some PSN credit on ShopTo so I think it cost about £53 - still not cheap of course but slightly more palatable.

Get the PS4 version, is £59.99 and has free upgrade to PS5 version digital version:

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/playstation-horizon-forbidden-west-10234772.html

Enter code ALOY15 at the checkout for 15% off taking it down to £51, maybe too late to definitely get it delivered by tomorrow now, they dispatched mine at midday today and DPD says its coming by 2pm tomorrow. You can do pickup at local shop though.

I could kiss you two. I wont, mind you, you dont know where i've been..

I'll grab this tomorrow

There's too much compression in these images. Maybe it's possible to grab them uncompressed (maybe only HDR will be lost)

No worries, I'm only up in Scotland so pop on a plane if you change your mind about the smooch.

I don't even mean she is ugly in the traditional sense, something just looks very off. That giant oddly shaped head looks weird.

 

[Putonahappyface]

This one is gameplay btw. Credit to imapioneer from the other side.

Score one for rim lighting. This level of detail and character lighting during gameplay is a step up not only from the first game but other games as well.

 

[Kuranghi]

You must have kissed your mother at least surely?

My aunt has a beard AND a mustache. super nice lady.

If this releases on PC and someone doesn't give her a big ol' Kratos beard then modders have failed the community.

Lets all make fun of the guy that's never been this close to a womans face in daylight.

As a child on the cheek. But I don't recall kissing Rubeus Hagrid.

Of course. I'm down south a bit, i'll just bring the car up. We'll grab a bit of dogging after

Anyone been watching CohhCarnage's stream of this just now?. Holy smokes the game has a memory leak problem or something. he's playing on performance mode and after a while the audio started going out of sync, then the whole game was running at like 15fps in the middle of this big fight lol.
Restarting the console fixed the problem, which makes it look like a memory leak. He's had to restart twice.
So just keep an eye out for that if it happens to you, save and restart.

I think in the Skillup review he mentions that problem, though it was gone with the day one patch.
