I didnt bother to watch the trailer in full but it seems pretty obviously in game. Doesn't look that different from the last game.
CGI looks much better usually.

It literally says "Captured on PS5" on the bottom left corner lol, idk how people don't catch this. It's the very first thing I look for in a game trailer.

They're using Decima, the Decima logo's shown in the trailer.

Only when it was first released. I didn't bother to go back and look and was just judging the screenshots in the thread.
It's definitely in-game then.

It looks like the last game on PS4. PS4 had very good looking games. I dont think this is some PS5 showcase game though for impossible graphics, but it will obviously look great.Jesus F***ing Christ I don't want to hear another goofus state how underpowered these consoles are ever again. This is higher quality than the PS5 CGI advertisements. Fight me.
Real-Time on PS5, 30fps
Offline CGI, 1 frame every 20hrs or so

Dare I say Guerrilla has surpassed Naughty Dog for best animation (at least for now)!? The animation work is the most impressive aspect of the trailer. There's very little uncanny valley to be seen here. So convincing!

To me it looks like the same character model as the last game with improved lighting and improved skin. Mo cap animation.
Looks awesome though. You asked for opinions, not trying to shit on it.

Guerrilla has nothing to do with that footage, besides the engine. That cinematic was animated primarily by PlayStation Studios Visual Arts, (the same people who do most of the cinematic animation for Naughty Dog, Insomniac, etc,) and of course by Kojima Productions as well.
"Tell me you havent Played Death Stranding 1 without t....."
It 80% looked the same as 1st game. Outside of the desert,mech,and ground clutter of unicycle parts. Characters looked the same with some improved SSS shading.
Nothing leap frogging this cross gen period. Outside of what I mentioned above it could have just as well been a trailer for PS4 DLC. :/

I can assure that bottom image diddnt take anwhere near 20hr to render. People still regurgatating offline render times from decadds ago. That shot isnt exactly ILM or Pixar complex.Jesus F***ing Christ I don't want to hear another goofus state how underpowered these consoles are ever again.

Gifs are such a stupid and inaccurrate way to show off graphics.
Trend needs to end or at least be banned from serious conversations on the matter.
Yah it looks slightly better. No gen leap and def no where near real or cgi level. This thread is just packed with hype based hyperbole.

I don’t see how could it look any better. This is how the actress looks

Easy in-engine.
Just look at the hair.
Any offline renderer would resolve that better.

It looks in-game. The visuals are better than the first game, obviously, because it's a next gen game that will have improved that aspect, but not by such a huge margin that it would be doubtful that it's not in-engine footage.

“In engine” which is in game without all the constraints on hitting a certain framerate with all the game logic running in the background.
It’s as BS as CG but not quite as ridiculously far away from gameplay. Go back and watch the Battlefield in engine trailers then as yourself did it look anything like as good as that in game while running on a console. The answer is no.

Captured could mean playing back a cgi video. That said his last game had very good quality characters.

This. I’m tired of gamers who want SO BADLY for in-game visuals to be “CGI quality.” Top-of-the-line CGI is always going to be way better looking.
Gifs can be 100% lossless. So actually better than lossy formats.

Ok? That was real-time footage either way, but I’m not expecting a downgrade in visuals since it’s on the Decima engine & it’s a first-party being published by Sony.
What? No lol, they could just post the CG trailer on YouTube instead of playing it back on a PS5 & recording that, why go through the extra hassle? That doesn’t make any sense. CG trailers always have the disclaimer below, the ones that say “Captured on PS5” are all real-time in-game footage.
That’s how the game will look like on console or better by retail release.
My issue isnt the bitrate or quality.

Is it really that surprising?
Given the first game was a walking sim and so all resources can go into graphics since there's no gameplay.
