Imagine if ghost of yotei looks anywhere close to this, especially with a similar art direction as GoT

Just ordered a Pro... Cheers Kojima
Yesterday's trailer was captured on base PS5, and Kojima (apart from the initial MGS 4 reveal) has a great reputation for graphical accuracy in his trailers.
Either way, this game will be a showcase for the Pro in the same way that Horizon: Forbidden West (also Decima Engine 2) was.

And we'll all know exactly why won't we.

I'd love to get a look at who's voting no
Clear
CliffyB's Cock Holster
True, but a bit of extra headroom won't hurt, and as I've had my PS5 for close to 5 years at this point. Upgrading/trading in seems reasonable.
As to the vote thing. Look I said yes, because of basically that one shot of the trailer of the little kid hiding behind the boxes. Which is insanely good.

I'd love to know what games are better looking then this honestly.
I imagine if this wasn't an exclusive title the results would look really different.

The graphics and art direction look great but it's also difficult to appreciate due to low res YT compression.

The actual gameplay segments don't look any more impressive than what we've seen this generation. Doesn't look better than this.

It won't be downgraded. This was running on PS5 at 30fps which is why graphics are better than the first game (with possibly some light RTGI). I am expecting this at 60fps on Pro, possibly with a 60fps mode with reduced resolution on PS5.
Exactly. The fact that they are pushing only one hardware is the reason it looks so good. It was also the main reason Demon's Souls Remake looked so good.

Best looking game? No.
Best looking vistas and cutscenes yes. Not much of a game here.

Tag, you're it.
Will look even better with the "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Director's Cut" PC version.
Sorry but this is a terrible example, you could have chosen much better moments. It's blurry, it's empty and the textures on the ground aren't THAT good. Tessellation is doing the heavy work here to give those textures a nice look. Lightning is great tho.
Overall an impressive trailer.
Yeah...suuure

Cutscenes and characters perhaps, it also has a cool art direction going for it. Enviroments look mid, way less impressive than crossgen Forbidden West on the same engine, doesnt look like itll be the best even just on consoles specifically.
It looks great artistically/visually, but dont mistake visuals (cool artstyle and design) for graphics.

Now compare those brief segments of actual gameplay to the video I posted.

Best looking game ever? I don't think so.. but it's definitely up there.
However, it's got to be the most impressive production in gaming. A huge cast of insanely detailed characters, and some incredible artwork and designs.

Will this have ray tracing? Path tracing?
That has to be answered before anything can be said.

Exactly, DS2 nails every aspect
- Character models
- Character animation
- Envoronment detail
- Environment motion
- Open world
The only thing missing is a day/night cycle

nah. But the game looks super good of course.

Really? I mean, the draw distance is really cool but surely you've seen better graphics than a photogrammetry rock landscape. There are other shots in the trailer that have more going on than that.

It's already obvious and this thread isn't even done with page one.
We've even got someone who only owns a series s asking about path/ray tracing. You couldn't make this up.

this one looks the most striking to me , i have a thing for vistas

At least put some effort into the OP and include some screenshots or gifs with the things that impressed you visually instead of just linking to yesterday's trailer, which we already have a thread for.
Anyway, John from DF is really hyped for DS2.

ds2 using the horizon engine, it's going to look amazing

I think when you add up the sum of all its parts, DS2 is certainly in the conversation. The character animations look amazing (I especially love the doll), the environments look stunning (we've seen water fluidly destroying the environment, along with collapsing mountains, so it's more than just a static open world), the lighting looks a step up from the original game, and there is an abundance in variety to the characters, enemies, vehicles, etc.,
This game could really sing on the PS5 Pro, especially when you consider how pristine HFW looks on the Pro, using the Decima engine.

No offense but this is the worst part of what they showed. Some seriously aggressive LoD going on here.
Character models and animation it is definitely going to set the bar and maybe the Pro will do better with some of this.

That's also comparing a high end PC 4090 vs what was captured on a regular PS5
The fact DS2 was captured on a non pro PS5 kind of blows my mind

A zoomed in Jpeg cut out from a jpg. We need to go deeper until we reach compresception.
Is this what we are really doing in 2025?
