The traversal in this game is legit breathtaking. Hope they really iron out the framerate issues with that delay and make sure the story lands!

It looks freaking great! With that delay, I hope they can make it even a better experience.

The traversal and the combat/action look so damn good, but it's the other stuff around it that I'm a bit iffy on.

Looks a ton better than it did last time.

This looks really good, but they need to sort out the performance. I am not playing a game like this at that framerate.

Combat and traversal remind me of Infamous. My main concern is that it will be an empty hollow world, will wait to see more.

For some reason this game isn't really doing it for me, I had the same issues with GOTG, but thankfully, I gave it a chance when it went on sale, enjoyed every single bit of it. I hope this is another similar case of poor marketing lol.

Some nice looking environments and particle effects in this trailer, but the whole premise still seems rather boring.

well maybe u should watch 90 days fiance and stfu urself
I thought it looked a bit better in the SOP, but watching it back now, Christ. Looks fucking TERRIBLE, still.
Wtf are they doing over there? Hands down the ugliest PS5 game I've seen yet. And one of the most drastic downgrades I've ever seen. Like, they must have just straight lied about the original reveal running on the PS5, right? It looked at least a generation better than this shit.

The spell / skill effects look very cool. I hope this turns out well.

When it was first revealed I thought it looked slick. Now it looks a bit rough. Ghosts on PS4 Pro looks more impressive imo.
I'm conscious of straying into hyperbole, but I genuinely think it looks worse than an average PS4 title. It's miles behind average next gen stuff like Deathloop and Returnal. And just completely and utterly obliterated by the best visuals like Horizon 2 and R&C.

Hate to say it, but looks downgraded a bunch.

I wasn’t overly impressed with Returnal tbh
Horizon and R&C on the other hand, definitely. It doesn’t get mentioned much but I thought the Ratchet Remaster on PS4 was great looking too.

This looks really good. 2022 is stacked.

Good trailer. The gameplay and visuals looks good, it's just the rest kinda seems weirdly off. Im not convinced on the writing/dialogue even though it's suppose to be from decent writers?!. At the end of the day though, gameplay is king to me so if it's really good in that regards, that's what matters the most with me with these type of games.
IMO Returnal was a real mixed bag. Sometimes it was just incredibly beautiful, and then others it was pretty rough. On the whole though I thought it was a reasonable early next gen game.
PS4 Ratchet was indeed great looking. Most SIE games were, tbf.

I think that looks pretty cool actually. Much better than previous times thanks yahweh, I don't believe there were any really egregious frame drops/frame-pacing issues this time, outside of when she did a mega spell, but that may be a pause for effect (but could be framedrop on heavy alpha effect overlap/usage ofc).
Even though I said the former I do think its not a game you want to play at 30fps and thats why this looks less than stellar, hardly any motion blur makes everything look so jerky and so much fast movement/animations makes that double bad. It will be a bum to lose IQ but even if you have to go to ~1080p on this one and it looks crusty/blurry from fixing the crust, then its probably still worth it.

Yup. If it runs higher than 30 FPS I am in

Graphically speaking this looks very good! Don't care about anything else tho

That looked really good, the combat and visuals are what have sold me

There were plenty of issues in the visuals back then, I don't see the teaser as being miles away. Comparing them, the foliage system was cleaner, maybe (there's no like-for-like shots, and comparable highlands is more uniform and mossy now but it's different terrain and flocked much more heavily; there's greater variety when she's surfing, plus foliage is now more responsive than say Horizon FW so there's that, but then the draw-in is very apparent.) Also the big belly-fire dragon at the end of the teaser is worse than the same dragon at the beginning of the SoP trailer, but that was probably CGI or the cutscene models; they show a glowing wolf at the beginning of the teaser and it's a pretty standard glow effect. Otherwise what else from 2020 would seem unfathomable today, if not already represented in the Forspoken clips we've seen since? I'm not seeing a gen's difference; some things about the reveal teaser were great but the mechanics, scope, and FX has been fairly consistent.

Gameplay, style, monster design - it just all looks so damn good. The only thing that stands out as this is, while looking ok, it doesn't really seem like it should be new gen only. I wonder what the chances are it'll be on PS4 too.

Yea they can cut cool gameplay snippet trailers, but I still don't have high hopes for the actual game.

I think the trailer looks amazing. The traversal, the combats, the flow, the animations, it all looks super fun, and the surf is a really nice bonus point for me too, I love it.
HOWEVER, I would still be super cautious, because while the combats do look amazing on video, Final Fantasy XV does too, but once you are actually playing it it's a whole different thing with a very weird feeling, where you don't really control the action and it's kind of automatic.
It's difficult to explain to someone who never played it, but people who did play it will probably understand what I mean. In videos, you could think Final Fantasy XV plays like Kingdom Hearts X Devil May Cry, but it's not the case at all.

I’m still really hype for this, looks like the jrpg version of Prototype or something. I’m expecting a fun sandbox to just run around in and blow stuff up with magic
Also, i liked FFXV’s combat so theres almost no way i can not like this, even teh animations look lifted from FFXV. My problem with the latter was the storytelling and pacing but i dont really have the same expectations for this games story

Maybe the Japanese dub version would be more palatable (or easier to ignore the dialog)?
