Is there an Nvidia stream or something going on? So many RTX feature trailers dropping at the same time.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks very pretty!!

 

[OverHeat]

My wallet is crying lol

 

[Mister Wolf]

Them additional light bounces. The software raytracing of Lumen still looks good though.

 

[Zathalus]

Graphically this game has improved quite a bit. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint, the combat and voice acting of the previous trailers were pretty terrible.

 

[Punished Miku]

The most graphically impressive thing Obsidian has ever done by a mile. As a few of us have been saying for months.

UE5 is a blessing. Nanite and Lumen are delivering on the promise Epic made years ago. The one I'm actually most excited for is Stalker 2.

 

[Bojji]

Them additional light bounces.

Looks better with RT off.

Isn't this game on UE5? It already has lumen.

 

[Gaiff]

Them additional light bounces.

See, this is why more realistic/accurate=/=prettier. I kind of like the more moody and darker look of the non-RT scene. At the same time, I can recognize that the cave is way too dark for how much light is pouring into it.

 

[Roberts]

Looks miles better than Outer Worlds and as much as I adore Grounded visually (even if its cartoony), this is a big step forward. Can't wait.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I'm happy this game was delayed. Trying to play Black Myth + WoW expansion starting in two days then a gauntlet of games until October/November, so I wasn't going to play it until 2025 probably anyways.

The caverns look a lot better with ray tracing. Really sets the ambience. Hopefully the game itself is good.

Both scenes are raytraced Gaiff. Lumen is raytracing. Just not per pixel raytracing.

 

[LordCBH]

Quite looking forward to this!

 

[Rockman33]

Looks beautiful

Will be neat to see an Unreal 5 Outer Worlds 2.

 

[Moochi]

I didn't know Knack was in this game.

 

[mansoor1980]

looks good , i am vowed

 

[Mister Wolf]

Lumen's big flaw is it isn't accurate enough to cover small foliage:

 

[amigastar]

I have high hopes vor avowed, it could turn out really good.

 

[DanEON]

lol, wtf? Am I missing something? It looks like a PS4 game in 4k.

 

[Little Chicken]

Avowed managed to look more current gen than FFXVI did with x10 the budget

 

[Snake29]

Some parts look ok with RTX On, other parts do not look good with RTX On. Also, the enviroment is really generic looking.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Them additional light bounces. The software raytracing of Lumen still looks good though.

looks like it removed some of the fog

 

[ChiefDada]

Looks very nice. RTGI really is transformative.

 

[Punished Miku]

lol, wtf? Am I missing something? It looks like a PS4 game in 4k.

Obsidian is a small developer and they always make multiple projects. This is pretty good for them. Really good.

Avowed managed to look more current gen than FFXVI did with x10 the budget

In terms of environments, that is definitely true. XVI has great art design but a lot of flat areas that look like they're from an MMO.

We'll have to wait and see for the final opinions. Some of those desert areas in Avowed also look flat at times, but better than XVI's environmental geometry. Unreal 5 is definitely helping them out.

Lumen was supposed to fix this. It was literally in the first PS5 UE5 demo.

 

[Bojji]

Lumen's big flaw is it isn't accurate enough to cover small foliage:

Hardware RT might be more accurate here but I prefer darker look of lumen.

Last gen games looked bad in places because everything was lit, even in dark places there was not enough AO and shadow. Full RT seems to introduce too much light again and that's why in my opinion it looks worse.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Lumen was supposed to fix this. It was literally in the first PS5 UE5 demo.

Lumen is better than previous lighting tech but it still has to maintain performance. Baby steps. Lumen(raytracing with screenspace and signed distance fields) < SVOGI(CryEngine)(raytracing with voxels) < Nvidia Full Raytracing

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'm still getting used to having a 32inch 4k monitor in front of my face.
Everything looks great. ha!

 

[Buggy Loop]

So hyped for this game

Looks like PoE 3D, I Hope there's no more delays

 

[Von Hugh]

lol, wtf? Am I missing something? It looks like a PS4 game in 4k.

Yeah, I'm not really seeing what other people are seeing.

 

[Senua]

The game looks really nice, but everything has kind of a clay model look to it

 

[adamsapple]

I'm still getting used to having a 32inch 4k monitor in front of my face.

I like gaming to a monitor closer than sitting 10 ft back from a TV, myself, too. All my consoles have been moved a 4K/120hz/VRR monitor.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Graphically looks poor from all the footage shown so far. Artistic design is pretty atrocious too

 

[Dr.D00p]

Is there an Nvidia stream or something going on? So many RTX feature trailers dropping at the same time.

All to do with it being Gamescon this week.

 

[Denton]

I am not vibing with Obsidian's art design/art style for some reason. But I did quite like it in their older games.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I just got this PC and monitor this weekend after my 9 year old gaming PC died.
Being this close to 4k has me questioning if my TV is 4k, haha. It's definitely a lot more defined when it's right in front of your face.

Oh yeah, you're getting a fuck ton more PPI (pixel per inch) on a 32 inch monitor compared to a 55/65 inch screen, so things are gonna look sharper.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Looks great to me, excited to play it.

 

[Gaiff]

Both scenes are raytraced Gaiff. Lumen is raytracing. Just not per pixel raytracing.

I know. I just tend to just say rt for hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Environments looks great. Too bad the characters will look like shit.

 

[JCK75]

I find the look and art very blah... but it's the type of game I typically enjoy so I'm very interested in it.

 

[Spyxos]

Or rather, how to lose more than half of the performance. Looks nice, but I usually don't use RT.
