It's not vaporware, it's Xcloudware.

 

[Negotiator101]

DriveClub is a generation ahead! Never seen dynamic clouds as realistic as that ever before!

Looks like a different tech, and best clouds ever are Flight sim, not even up for debate.

 

[Vasto]

I did say these guys would be at the top of the pile when it comes to graphical fidelity this generation, looks like I was right

If they can do this on last gen hardware just imagine what they do on the X.

Hmm, won't argue on that as well.

Just a small team then as well, with a small budget (in comparison to what they have now).

 

[Negotiator101]

I'm interested to see what Horizon 2 is doing with its sky. I love this kind of thing, am hoping Halo is using similar tech to this as last year the sky was very basic.

 

[reksveks]

It would be great if we could get some technical analysis on the different ways to make realistic cloud and weather patterns. What makes this different to DriveClub, RDR2 etc?

 

[abacab driver]

Besides flight simulator..none of those other examples show clouds forming and dissolving (as specified in the twitter post) anywhere near as naturally like this.

Flow maps I would wager.

Need a ELI5 of Flow Maps honestly but I might try and have a look later

This is the tech they are using I imagine, looks like anyway.

[elliot5]

Literally impossible to observe and enjoy a small update on cloud tech. Needs to be compared to other games immediately and called not revolutionary, as if that's what it's all been about.

John Linneman putting some respect on Ninja Theory's name.

It does look quite like it but the YouTube link still seems a very static form of cloud creation. It might be a different setting or a minor update to the tech

Yeah they could well have improved it but it's Unreal engine tech and Ninja Theory use that engine so I presumed its the same technology.

 

[Stuart360]

Well that much was obvious by your first sentence

What?, care to enlighten why i'm wrong to think if they are working on cloud tech they could be at a dev point to have a trailer or demo ready?.

 

[Fake]

E3 is back.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Base line Senua, in game model.

Looks impressive.
And good thing they covered her mouth, that initial reveal trailer with Senua’s gummy mouth was fucking ugly and awful to look at. Looked so exageratted

 

[Dr Bass]

Flow maps I would wager.

You would wager?

Are you ignoring the fact this was stated quite clearly in the very first post in an effort to look like you are making some kind of educated guess?

Guys .. we are looking at clouds, which have been done very, very well ... for years. You're not going to sit there and look at clouds on a time lapse like this video is showing, when you're playing a video game.

It looks good. So do tons of other weather environments in games. Let's move on and wait for something actually real.

 

[cormack12]

The first Hellblade was really good. Some parts of the shipwrecked beach were as good as the surrounding side areas on god of war.



Absolutely looking forward to this one 100%

 

[Loope]

These are really nice, I love those!

Here are more real-time 3d clouds in games:

And some more!

 

[Stuart360]

Base line Senua, in game model.

What the....i wasnt trying to be funny when i said that was the actress in costume, i honestly thought it was, but i just read the white text and thats her actual ingame model?, pretty crazy lol.

Calm down dear, I was answering in response to what makes these clouds different to other games, ok sweetheart

Horizon for example:

While the Cloud tech in Hellblade 2 looks great, i'm not sure it's looking mind-blowing, compared to other games.

 

[GeekyDad]

Clouds...now folks are getting excited about clouds.

Wow...

 

[Negotiator101]

No I think this the real actress in costume before being rendered in game, this is too good.

 

[Negotiator101]

Horizon for example:

It's far smoother than Horizon which updates in stages. Plus one is a tiny low quality gif.

 

[Stuart360]

Read the white text, and look at the folds in the leather and fabric on the different models. Its ingame i think.
Very impressive. Probably the first time i have been honestly fooled.

If this is an in game model then a new level of fidelity has been reached, hopefully we find out at E3

It's not like clouds are moving that fast all the time in real life. It looks good, not impressive. They didn't set a new standard at Ninja theory if that's what they wanted you to believe.

They never said they did, unless i missed it. Its just tiresome little warriors trying to start shit when there is no need.

It's not ingame lol, it's just a model to show the costume, with some photoshop work. If this was ingame model, why the mask....?

Is it hard for you to discuss things, instead to go this route again?

 

[Stuart360]

You were the one with the insecure post.
Poor devs cant even tweet little harnless stuff like this without an inquest.

 

[Insane Metal]

That looks freaking beautiful. What's with the laughing reactions?

 

[oldergamer]

Driveclub did it first.

Drive club was NOT the first game to use volumetric clouds

Poor baby, it's like i'm hurting you or something.

 

[abel empire]

E3 here we come.





Ninja Theory are just on another level.

Weve seen raymarched clouds in ps3 games ace combat on ps4 and xbone had them at 60fps horizon zero dawn red dead 2 drive club and so much games, i need to see something new please

 

[Negotiator101]

Nervous laugh? as the HB2 trailer is looking a lot more attainable now.

Horizon is a far bigger game. If that is what at least 6,5x stronger console than vanilla PS4 can achieve in Hellblade 2, then naaah. Not better at all

 

[TonyK]

That's a photo. A real person wearing real clothes... and a covid mask.

 

[elliot5]

Holy moly they're just clouds using recent unreal engine features called flow maps. That's it. You don't have to go on a crusade because a Sony game had volumetric clouds, too. Nobody is claiming this is groundbreaking never-before-seen-technology quietly shared in a 10 second tweet. It just looks nice.

 

[Stuart360]

That's a photo. A real person wearing real clothes... and a covid mask.

Yeah it has to be real. The white text is a bit weird though with the way are wording it like its an ingame asset.

 

[RavageX]

Some better examples from DriveClub.

I just don't understand. A PS5 version of Drive club w/ PSVR would be something...

But it won't happen.

 

[Negotiator101]

It's obviously better looking its a new game running on next gen hardware. I'm not downplaying Horizon its a lovely looking game, I'm just saying what I see.

 

[Snake29]

The text is not weird at all. It doesn't indicate at all that this is an ingame model, rather it indicates what elements of this costume they still need to change or remove. They talk about the word "costume".

I just don't understand. A PS5 version of Drive club w/ PSVR would be something...

But it won't happen.

Just imagine, 4K/60 -120 next-gen visual. This would just be the best looking race game ever created...such a shame.

 

[Balducci30]

Wait this is really in game?

EDIT: no it’s a covid mask

Don't even try with the PS3 crap mate

It is really not that better looking.
