we all know that much, but they are fresh off of SH2 so let's talk visuals
the game use nanite, it can be disabled with a mod and the results on some surfaces are terrible, very low lod!
Witcher 3 is 10 years old, come onStill a big upgrade over this:
And this:
And this:
For sure Unity character models looked amazing ...still do to this day actually. What a looker that game was in 2014. Pretty gross what has become of Ubisoftd character models in recent years.
Lmao dude you need to pick tougher guys, like if we ain't considering unreal5 nanite titles, how about ubisoft's very own Avatar, Watch Dogs 2&legion?Or Day's gone&KCD2? Or if you want to mess around further, considering modded rdr2?Even spiderman 2 ain't a bad choice you know. Btw you don't even have to lock 30 fps to accomplish better results for testing these ones.Still a big upgrade over this:

No, high resolution ingame screenshots from various spots are the most accurate way to showcase all the stuff. We taking shots of what we are playing, what we've seen, it's not like we are judging scenes that ain't belong to the final product. It's ugly because that's what it is, because they made it this way, then we noticed. And it's perfectly fine if you choose to ignore it, but it doesn't mean the problems don't exist, and frankly for an open world game it do happens a lot. You can say the same thing the other way around, and that's when consistency matters.
There’s a lot of content here, but not much that was actually said. I’m not choosing to ignore anything; I’m describing what I’m seeing whilst playing the moving picture in front of me. Video games are motion pictures, and thus, the most accurate way to get an accurate gauge on them is by looking at them either in-person, or through high quality video with a lot bitrate, not screenshots, no matter if they’re in-game and high quality or otherwise.
Thats actually from the new remaster that added RTGI, RT Shadows and RT reflecttions along with massively boosted NPCs and foliage.
I think you must have missed my subsequent posts where I compare it to KCD2, Avatar and agreed that they warrant criticism.Lmao dude you need to pick tougher guys, like if we ain't considering unreal5 nanite titles, how about ubisoft's very own Avatar, Watch Dogs 2&legion?Or Day's gone&KCD2?

Back to your choice, about Horizon and GOT's lod, I'd say anything else from ps4-ps5 era comparing to these two there goes a "generational leap", except for cp2077 maybe? In Witcher 3 there are mods to extend lod further away so it's actually not staying in the same league. From my testing, Horizon's draw distance is totally hopeless as turning up lodslider via camera tool can push a 5090 to its knee when you flying in that slow ass robot dinosaur, and the end result is the game itself visually goes toward minimum uplifts, almost like the rendering engine itself is never meant for this job.
Anyway, all these stuff, doesn't change the fact for asscreed we certainly deserve better,. I'm not asking the scene to have high quality models and textures in every spot, no, no open world can achieve perfect results in this gen, but at least devs should handle the scene better to hide the flaws away. In 2025 you still choose to turn mid-distance terrain into a absolutely mud painting without any textures details at all, lacking distant grass despite set the game world in a lushy mountainous country, and label itself as a proper graphics evolution? And ppl think this looks like a graphical showcase deserving to stargaze on top-end pcs? Seriously? Things like these are hard to ignore even when you view on phone and tablet screens let alone bigass monitors and tvs.
BTW, AC Shadows' virtualized geometry system only works on buildings, it doesnt support foliage yet which is whyJack Howitzer is seeing somewhat unflattering LODs in AC Shadows. I personally think they are ok, and a decent upgrade from last gen games, but they had 5 years to add support for foliage so its worth criticizing a bit. Maybe by the time the Black Flags remake comes out later this year, they wouldve been able to add nanite support for foliage.
Do you think this looks better than GoT2? I’m guessing that game won’t have RTGI.
We haven't seen enough of ghost 2 to judge but i'm fairly unimpressed by both titles.
Crossgen with nextgen features could really describe the majority of this gen...
yes indeed
Pretty sure the game run on ue5...
dev in the video says they experimented with UE5 but it wasnt as fast as UE4 , so they didnt switch to ue5
RTGI with decent IQ at 60fps on a $700 box. In a World where an RTX 4070 costs $800 alone it's impressive.
What exactly do you want them to do?... do 100% better GPU, 50% better CPU, more RAM and release a $1200 console
Thats basically what this is. Hell, i was more impressed by KCD2's lighting and foliage. This basically feels like valhalla with RTGI, weather effects, and better hair.
We need the PS5 ultra and with its 90 GPU cores, 24GB Ram, 4TB SSD for only $1200
Yeah, but you know what's the difference here, one in realistic (Shadows), one is more artistic (Avatar). You can't really compare these 2 styles.Here is a comparison of night time in Avatar and AC Shadows. The lighting really feels dated here. Downloading Outlaws now to check that game too.

wrong thread buddy
I felt the graphics actually looked really good here, it was even more impressive once flooded with enemies and destruction. Like someone else commented on, I was convinced it was UE5.
Huh? This looks fun as hell I don’t understand
I am hoping that this will markedly improve for the PS6. This gen is practically in stone now. Between a hold on 4K resolution, Nishino as sole CEO, adaptation to real-time rendering, and pressure to actually impress with a PS6 that will be dealing with a 600 USD price tag and a massive lagging cross-gen issue, there should be more than enough room and incentive to push on the hardware front and push 1st party devs back into kino shape.
I hope so and I wish I had your optimism, but seeing the output and direction from the studios doesn't paint an optimistic picture. Microsoft threw in the towel and Sony is basically uncontested in their market segment, they have become lazy, arrogant and no longer driven to push themselves as they see no need. The middling specs of the pro, lackluster support and showcases and the near double price for the hardware pretty much happened because there was no competition.
What's with the interlacing looking lines in the distance?reduce sharpening to 0 in ac shadows. it helps with poor tree textures in the distance. they look horrible even with 0.25 sharpening
they blend nicely with the environment if you don't use any sharpening
Best deal in gaming™
seems like a DLSS bug that sometimes happens when you pan the camera over sky
Yup,this is the new bug introduced by dlss4 transformer model,making certain surfaces like water and especially fog effects have these small interlacing lines and patterns.Pretty noticeable in rdr2 from my testing,and folks been saying mh wilds is also being afffected
