Looks like a lot of us are in a Cauldron right now. lol

Since it came up earlier in the thread, I threw the 2 images side by side with some fun info:

*edit...fixed spelling error >_<

Aki Ross was around 500K polys which was much.at that time We aren't that far from reaching such polycount in current AAA games.

This is a great shot. Looks like something they'd put on the cover of a magazine.

So much fun lighting in the cauldrons.

Jeepers. Should probably leave this thread alone now.

I knew Cauldrons existed and that they were "future-y", but are those shots spoilerific at all? Simple yes or no would be great. Cheers!

Only in a general "this is what cauldrons look like" way.

Man, I'm gonna have to start increasing the brightness for some of these night pics. They look fine on my TV, then I lose a lot of detail when I upload them.

I have to say it now... XD Aloy's model is amazing, but her hairline bothers me. Why are there some hairs located about 1cm down her forehead. That looks a little weird. About 5mm down would have looked much better and more natural.

Hats off to all the contributors here, seeing a ton of great shots, nice stuff.

The game looks unreal. However I noticed that they overuse the "fog" effect during daytime. Sometimes rarely, this effect is not pronounced and you see everything in the distance and its simply breathtaking.

But they generally overuse it, why is that?

Because they wanted to showcase their new tech, ray marched fog...

Think it fits the setting. It's a post apocalyptic world so deserts will have loads of dust, and forests, mountain areas will have heavy fog set in them.

What armor is that? Looks awesome

Shield Weaver Armor, you get it in the

Spoiler

Ancient Armory quest for finding the 5 power cells. It basically makes you impervious to damage for a few hits then the shield replenishes again after a little while.

When people complain about 5mm unnatural hairline in your game... You know you did it right.

I haven't experienced night time for the moment in the game, but I think I will fall off my chair when I will have access to photomode !!

I agree, it does look a bit weird
Still, her model is amazing indeed, especially since that was captured ingame and not during a cutscene.

The lighting for this game is absolutely bonkers. Here's another 2 screenshots in another time of day.

There is a bit of an obvious AF filter "stepping" if you really pay attention to it.

It's mostly not apparent because of fog or foliage in the way though.

At the same time using fog liberally and then revealing the terrain occasionally kind of gives you that "breathtaking" feeling each time you do get to see it, so I don't mind it so much.
