Just watched the video.
Gears 5...
The improvements are great on an already graphical masterpiece.
Global illumination is beautiful.
More particles, better textures and shadows.
I’ll replay the campaign when the series X patch will be available.

I've always thought Gears 5 looks terrible visually but couldn't put my finger on it.
I think I know what it is looking at this XBSX footage.
Even with all the new bells and whistles the game seems to suffer immensely from the lack of accurate physically-based rendering. Or at least that's what it looks like.
All the surface materials on everything simply look all wrong. No visible roughness or iso/anisotropic specular reflectivity at all. Without proper BDRFs the GI simply makes everything look really really flat, with almost uniform diffuse colours that wash out all the fudged specular maps.
I could be wrong but that's what I can read from simply eyeballing footage of this game.

That build took like a week or so to make, remember. It’s also using full path tracing, and NOT just “fancy reflections”.
Show me a card, anywhere, that can run that shit smooth.
It’s more of a tech demo, a way to show you it’s possible. Don’t read too much into performance, it will likely never be used in that way fully anyway.
Same with Gears, it was a small one man project that only had a few weeks on it, and wasn’t set up for correct loading, hence why it loads like this. Older BC games won’t be loading in a second, they weren’t made that way.

I don't know what game you're talking about. If it's Gears 5, I advise to play it.

People think Gears 5 looked bad...? News to me. It’s one of the best looking games of the generation, up there with RDR2, TLOU2 and THPS5. One of these is a shit game.

Yeah, the shitty RDR2 controls got on a lot of people's nerves. Calling it shit is a bit harsh though.

This x1000. The PBR is clearly lacking in Gears, that's that one subtle change that makes all the difference in modern games. It's the same reason why Watch Dogs: Legion looks like shit despite RT being thrown all over the place, without proper PBR everything looks so fake, you can tell that artists manually tried to mimic how metal, wood, rock etc. looks like, but the results will never be as good as actual physical simulation.

I see two GOTY games. What's THPS5?

Not proper rtx if memory serves right.Lol if you didn't told me that gears had rtx activated i would never guess... and minecraft still looks like crap.
Another proof that i don't give an absolute fuck about rtx

I mean, i already tried rtx on pc with control and metro (some of the best implementation out there) and still find that unimpressive for how heavy it is.
Dlss2.0 is the only thing that is gonna push me to use some rtx most probably, i will never scale down raw details, resolutions and framerate to get rtx, i'm just not a shadow\reflection\light enthusiast guy.

Played it on PC with all bells and whistkes on, but the world feels static in Gears, something i never really liked. textures are not really high res at all in this game. So seeing this gameplay from XSX with improvements, i can't see anything that looks really different (maybe because the PC version already looked ok).

Oh definitely, for what you get the performance hit isn’t worth it. Still you can see it. In Gears 5 it’s some bastardized implementation.

100% agreed, had the same thoughts playing it, and the dogshit looking TAA didn't help any either. Worst of all, the weak lighting also negatively affects the HDR which is otherwise properly implemented, but it just doesn't get to shine outside of very few scenes. And it's dead obvious when you compare the snow areas to eg snow areas in Metro Exodus also in HDR but with RTX GI. It's worlds apart.
Imo the staging made Gears 4 look better than 5, even though 5 on a technical level is more advanced. But it's like buying a newer camera, just because the tech is better doesn't mean it'll automatically take a good photo if you don't have skills as a photographer.

You guys probably know this, but just in case, having watched a Fortnite one of these Unreal showcases/developer outreaches. I wouldn’t expect much but high-level technical details, and some fascinating insights.

So much for 'no loading times'
