- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Horizon Forbidden West returns and looks better than ever in its Burning Shores expansion. Freed from the constraints imposed by having to deliver a last-gen version, Guerrilla Games adds extra detail and new technology to the Decima Engine. Forbidden West looked beautiful, and Burning Shores only adds to the spectacle. Oliver Mackenzie reviews.

Finally something that is designed for “current-gen” 😍 Update: I just finished it in performance mode. The graphics are stunning. Maybe the best so far this gen.
redfall better
@@Luhiner wake up
designed for “current-gen” ? the game is on ps4 its cross gen
@@HassanMohamoud-lg2xw This DLC is not
Amen.
When Guerilla was hyping up clouds, I was like yeah ok, whatever....but here I am 10 hours into Burning Shores and I can't get missions done because I keep flying up, down, and through clouds the whole time. Absolutely stunning work and the level of ground detail when you're up so high is unmatched.
Meanwhile Xbox has redfail at 30fps at launch lmao
really?
@Ben G sadly yes
@@JamieRobert_ Xbox also has a flight sim with better clouds than this.
@@rahulpandey9472 flight sim runs at 30fps
So good to see devs letting loose on PS5 properly without PS4 support weighing them down.
Not a from the ground up game completely but part 3 is gonna be which is gonna raise the bar.
@@samza9622 but ps5 will weigh down part 3. It’ll prolly be a x gen game like part 2.
This is a PS4 gamer liking this comment and it hits hard, but it's true😢
@@XgamerdaveX nah itll be more scalable the biggest thing holding back last gen is the HDD.
They should dump PS5 support and make Horizon 3 a PC-exclusive that requires an RTX 4090 to run…
Not going to spoil it, but that final boss fight, visually, was incredible
Makes you wonder what they have in store for Horizon 3.
Cheers bud. You've just ruined the WHOLE GAME FOR ME!!! Now I know there's a final boss fight which is visually incredible. Lol 👀
@@user-b1b2b think that's a spoiler wait for the human and machine sex scene
@@illdrainyoursoul. I can't wait for that my fellow gamer. I'll be pressing that X button rapid response. Lol 👀
@@user-b1b2b ha ha
The Decima Engine is next level
Yes, it is a great engine.
Correction Insomniac's engine, God of War engine, Bluepoint engine > Decima
@@CheckmateStallioN nah
@@CheckmateStallioN not even close lol
I would love to see what a new Killzone would like.
DEVS: take notes from Guerrilla here. We want a performance mode that is locked 60fps. Not “constantly dips below”. Thanks. Great job GG team!
Decima Engine is definitely the most impressive open world engine I’ve seen so far. The jump from Horizon 1 to Horizon 2 is also huge when you compare the water and lighting. It is massive.
In therms of Physics Simulation, RAGE (Rockstar Engine) is the top one, but the engine kinda sucks on render objects and characters with lots of polygons. But Decima is also really good: can render everything in real time with high poly, really impressive.
@@jimboland699 Shame its let down by the LoD pop-in and tons of light bleed indoors. I really hope they add pathtracing when this comes to PC as GPUs should be fast enough by then, though they'd probably have to tweak some interiors.
@@jimboland699 well having played so many games rage engine used in red dead 2 is still the best looking game ever made till date n the
game kind of nailed shadows and gi too without ray tracing the game looks phenomenal n I think red dead cloud is up their with horizons cloud
@@alexatkin Really? I think Rage engines indoors look insanely great. Red Dead 2 indoors look insane.
@@alexatkin would rather deal with pop in than fps drops any day of the week
Can you even imagine how beautiful Horizon 3 will look ???
Running in Native 4K 60fps is a must on PS6!
Ps5 pro or 6 would probably be out by then. Everything looks amazing already imagine those consoles😅.
@@KillerZxAce Running a decent performing raytracing / pathtracing is a must on PS6. Rasterization was yesterday
No
@@KillerZxAce ,
"native 4K" is never going to be a thing in the future. That's just no longer an efficient way to render for the best image. EVERY game will have some form of upscaling from a lower rendered resolution... although, if there's extra processing power there may be some benefit to render at 4K or even higher... but almost certainly on a console they would use that for added ray-tracing elements.
Once again, the fact that this game received no awards at the Game Awards is ridiculous! It's a stunning and impressive piece of software with outstanding performance.
Elden ring over shadowed this one
Man I love fromsoftware ...but looking back Elden Ring is just so overrated. It really is Big Dark Souls. After neglecting this title..I finally platinumed it and am working on the DLC. This game is an acheivement. The graphics are jaw dropping. The hunting machine loop is great and its just so immersive. Its not perfect. But it deserved so much more praise than it got.
Yeah ask me anytime and I will always tell you Id rather boot this up than any from software overhyped games that are all the same. Elder Ring did nothing special compared to this.
I like the console performance options Sony offers so far this generation
Redfall is better
@@leoni7649 fortnite graphics and 30fps? No thanks
@@leoni7649 c'est pas gdc ici :hap:
@@aterraxanime I was kidding hahaha
@@leoni7649 😂😂
Props to all the talented artists who create all these assets and environments. It’s all about engines sometimes which are exciting but art direction and talented artists need mentioning.
thanks for mentioning this, I'm kinda annoyed by everyone only giving the decima engine all the praise and forgetting about the amazing artists at guerilla. way too few people talk about how amazing the music is too.
Absolutely agree, take Elden Ring. I wouldn't say it was anywhere near as technically impressive as this but it is a beautiful game due to the excellent art direction. BoTW is another example, technically there are tonnes of issues but the game is 'pretty' due to the art direction - just don't look too closely. It's also great that Guerilla' Decima engine is pioneering in a world where Unreal is really starting to dominate.
yes like just staring at the flowers
@@pubsnacks4926 art design trumps everything else. Immersion is what matters the most.
Proof - as if it were even needed - that last-gen ports hold back games. Please leave older consoles behind already.
I agree, however 99% of the DLC could easily be played on PS4 ( that 1% is the ending , of course)
Problem is poor people keep playing video games instead of working. That’s why we have to play last gen ports and stores have no employees
@@ihmpall 😂😂
@@ihmpall wtf???
@@wizzenberry 😭😭
The best looking console game so far this generation. When I upgraded to an OLED, it looked even better. This game is such a visual great.
Agreed, the best we've seen so far 👌
It's the best looking game on any platform tbh. Or at least in the top 3 we've seen. And that's in spite of it having any form of RT.
Now if it would just come to PC!!!
@@TheDarksideFNothing PC port is no doubt coming at some point, but hopefully they will do it well. Some of their ports have been quite poor and games in general these days are asking for some crazy specs for good performance.
@@AbhijeetMishra The Zero Dawn port ended up being absolutely excellent despite being launched in rough shape. I'm optimistic. I really hope Nixxes is who ports it, they always do an excellent job.
So what you’re telling me a open world game can be this pretty and still have a performance mode up to 80fps but xbox can’t give me redfall at 60 fps delay redfall or im about to switch to playstation
There are doll-like characters in Redfall!
They consume a big chunk of 12 TF!
Hahaha!
Playing it in Balanced Mode and this is the best looking game I’ve ever played this gen.
Yeap. Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing is far above because of the light. But for texture (except wood trees) vegetation etc Horizon look so good. Image a Horizon game with path tracing light ?!! Maybe on PS6 !
@@devilduc artistically I think HFW looks better, putting crazy reflections or shadows on top of CP doesn’t make a lot of the game not look very good.
@@devilduc Cyberpunk has horrible and distracting Pop ins especially while driving. It's a poorly made game developed by amateurs
@@devilduc DF themselves said path tracing is basically only good for photo mode since it can sometimes make the game look WORSE than traditional Raytracing.
@@wanted247ha8 euuh no they didn't say that, neether in there df week or the 5 video Alex made about path tracing. It generate noise but it worth it. I mean try it for yourself in hdr on YOUR screen. It is just unbeleavable
I would love an interview with Decima Engine team.
There is a documentation called "The making of Horizon Zero Dawn" with tons of Interviews on the channel "no clip". I would argue that no clip is the best documentary channel on TH-cam
@@TheNerd I’ll check this out. Thanks for recommendation.
@@TheNerd No Clip is great but they are advertainments not documentaries
@@EmperorOfMan They are absolutely documentaries. That they also serve to promote a product doesn't change that.
This looks amazing. Can't wait to get back to my ps5 and play this.
Im excited to see what Kojima does with the Decima engine in DS2
So this is Sony's answer to cloud gaming. I get it.
I enjoyed this joke more than I should have, thanks 👍
you mean a game they sell from their cloud servers, with DLC only from those servers, that you will never access if you lose your internet connection for too long (until you get it back) or if your account has something go wrong with - the disc for the base game even being a glorified key, as much of the updates and DLC requires "the cloud".
Yes, so totally not cloud at all - it just involved the cloud in many glaring, marring ways. But hey, executive said thing I was to hear!!!
I loved it. This game and DLC do not get enough credit. Cant wait for the 3rd one. I love hunting machines and exploring the beautiful world.
At first I didn’t really get why they were talking about clouds of all things so much when they were revealing this DLC, until I actually played it myself. They’re breathtaking to behold up close
Genuine question: don't photorealistic clouds visually clash with the rest of the game, which has that 3D HDR look? In the video, the two feel like two different "layers"; I wonder if it's just more immersive so blends better when actually playing the game.
@@Lishtenbird No the clouds don't clash with the visuals
This is personally one of my favorite open world games to explore. The game is truly gorgeous.
Fun game so far. I’m amazed they were able to make it look even better
Well it helps that they didn't have to take the PS4 into account.
It's a PS4 game ported to PS5 with some enchaments. This DLC is only for PS5 so that's why it looks much better.
@@doctorsilva1345 Still held back by the PS4 though since the base game was made for it. I cant imagine how good the game would have looked if it was that way from the start. I cant wait to see how good Spiderman 2 will looks since its ps5 only as opposed to Miles Morales who although it looks incredible on the ps5, was also held back by Ps4. Its right around the time developers are dropping ps4 so we can finally see that the ps5 tech can really do.
@@TheBlurReturns16 eh if we’re being real, shit still looks amazing. But yeah can’t wait to see what things are like when they finally cut ties with last gen
this DLC is the best i have ever played, the graphics are just insane as well.
Playstation Studios are on another whole level.
@@PsychoSaucisseYou’re right, it excels past PC.
*whole other level
You meant Guerrilla Games!
@@AceRazor which is a Playstation Studio.
@@itycagameplays While a subsidiary indeed, let's give credit to the development studios who are making these amazing games and not generalize their hard work.
The "Animal-robots" animations are the best in any game by far...soo smooth.
I'm amazed no one talks about Robot animations during combat. The way big machines fall with Knockout damage is absolutely incredible. So many different parts on a machine. If you remove a weapon like tail, gun, blasters etc. They will not be able to use it. It's physical. Think about the code they have to write for each individual machines to react.
Imagine Guerrilla Games making a Trsansformers game.
@Vikas Kumar Patel the animations are so seamless and fluid that it's just one of those things that people don't even notice or think about
Best looking game so far this gen
100% facts!
💯 🤙
Very closely followed by demons souls remake
Pathtraced Cyberpunk beats it obviously.
@@ihebmhamdi3451 I agree, but that doesn't even count as "this gen" because you can't just buy a $400 device and run that path tracing game like you can run horizon on PS5. A Pc that runs that game costs waaaaay more
Meanwhile Xbox exclusive Red fall is at 30fps on Series X hahahahahahahahahaha
🤣
Meanwhile xbox lives in your head rent free. 😂🤣😂
This is quickly becoming my favorite Non fighting game franchise with every iteration of the games release
What is your favourite fighting game franchise?
If they can stick the landing with Horizon III, it'll be up there with Mass Effect in my gaming list.
@@sofajockeyUKMass Effect is legendary and not comparable imo. Its an RPG after all with so many different ways to play.
@@Carinthian_Oak There's a lot of players like me who plays ME trilogy exactly the same each time, so considering this, comparison to Horizon series is quite fitting.
@@natalia499 not really, its an RPG. My first run took me over 150 Hours through all games combined. And i have so many great memories with it, i mean, isn’t that with every „good“ RPG that took you so many Hours?! Wish we had Games like that nowadays with really good writing and choices etc. those were good times.
damn, with this new tech on Decima, Death Stranding 2 will be a treat to see ❤
for an opened world game to look this good is hard to believe. These guys are wizards
Maybe someday we will see one game like this on "the most powerful console"
Hahaha!
30fps give you twice as long to admire each frame. Checkmate
Let's not forget they changed it to "the most powerful Xbox"
Don’t get your hopes up. There are PS4 titles that look better than anything on XBox.
Watching videos for pc ports lately then seeing videos for the same game on the PS5 or its exclusives really make me just wanna get a ps5 instead of upgrading my pc. 😅
I say go for it, you won't regret it. Love my PS5
Exactly what I did and haven't looked back.
Decima is a testament to what is so great about sony’s first party studios.
Horizon fan here. Burning Shores blew me away. The series may not appeal to everyone, but this game has set the bar for visual fidelity. Amazing!
Seemed more buggy than the first game though to me, possibly I overlooked the issues though due to how absorbed I was in the narrative and world.
But it’s so boring tho zzzzzzz
Yeah, and some games need 2080super for 1080p with garbage graphics. Playing forbidden west on HDR will definitely be a great experience.
the 120/40 mode is really awesome in this game!
The most impressive part to me is how well the image holds up in performance mode
Yeah when they fixed it in the main game it really means 30fps just isn’t worth it for the sudden drop to 30fps. Any half decent 60fps mode and that drop isn’t worth it, and Sonys first parties have delivered in spades with that, though sadly us usually after a few weeks or months and a patch update eventually.
@@DavidHunteri dunno, i still preffer the resolution mode, i can still SEE the difference and that native 4k is just too crisp and beautiful to pass.
@@nicolaslabra2225i like the balance mode with VRR on
This is what I expected from Xbox Series X :(
Horizon Forbidden West is quite possibly the best looking game ever.
It's absolutely stunning, breathtaking so many times and the fact that the dlc looks even better is incredible. I can't wait to play it.
Horizon is by far my favorite traditional open-world franchise. Definitely underrated in my opinion.
PS5 shows once again how much hardware matters. 😂
It does but it’s just a very efficient and optimised piece of hardware.
The graphical detail is awesome. It can be little things, like details in the distance.
Guerrilla Games engine could teach a thing or two to the unreal engine. I’m just shocked out how good this game looks and runs while the unreal engine struggles on games. I could only imagine if all open world games used this engine. What a great every game could be.
I mean you are talking about unreal engine 4...which was made 11 years ago. Ue5 is vastly upgraded and we have not seen what is possible yet
@@MrInuhanyou123 UE5 is too demanding. Only impressive looking game so far is Fortnite
@@vandammage1747 the only game out so far with UE5 is fortnite. So I guess they’re doing great on that front.
@@MrInuhanyou123 I hope you are right. Because as of late every unreal engine 4 games are having massive performance issues... Dead Space stutters, Hogwarts stutters with frame rate issues(its gotten a lot better recently) and now the new star wars game has performance issues. I just see how well optimized this engine is and it blows me away.
I'm curious how The Witcher 4 will turn out (using Unreal 5).
I love Oliver's content and presentation - direct, to the point and so calm. Definitely becoming my fav among the DF bunch - John, Tom and Oliver.
What about Alex and rich 😅
4k mode, 60 fps mode, 40 fps mode, VRR mode, all hitting frame targets while adding new visual elements!? This is the benchmark for future ps5 releases.
This is visually incredible. Truly next level graphics! Great to hear that it performs smoothly on top of that.
Our sister Kylie Liya Page plays Seyka in the game - has been fun to watch her in such an awesome world. Hope everyone enjoys.
Bro I have a 4080 gpu I swear even with the highest settings on cyberpunk . Horizon sets the bar too high.. I can't..
god damn how incredible this game engine is, it has nothing to envy from unreal engine 5
Looks better than UE5 tbh. UE5 is overhyped 1080p30 engine
@@vandammage1747 ue5 is amazing, i'm actually developing stuff on it, but the fact that horizon forbidden west looks so good that almost looks like a pre render, is something i haven't seen in games so far, no even pc games
@@NicolasSilvaVasault yeah it's good for visualization but not games unless you're on a rtx40 and a very capable cpu which is a minority.
Decima, RE engine, id tech etc will be more impressive
It just goes to show that a good enough in-house engine can easily compete with Unreal Engine 5. THat's one of the positives of Sony.
Ue5 and decima show games still have a lot to give
Easily the best looking game of all time. And an absolutely amazing blast to play!
That's a stretch. Perhaps the best looking console game and amazing what the developers can do on rather limited hardware but Plagues Tale Requiem on a high end pc looks better. True 4k 60fps, more realistic textures, less pop in ......
@@LeeLee-fi7mx oh no, it's not true 4K. Like my eyes care. Also completely different games, Ill wait until I can fly through clouds in Plague Tale
@@LeeLee-fi7mx it has true 4k 40 fps and 1800p 60 fps so I don't give a F u can cope because it not on you trash PC
@@LeeLee-fi7mx Plague Tales is a very bad comparison. Probably The Witcher or Red Dead with tons of mods on high end PC can look and move similarly or a tad bit better.
But standard, nothing is close to this.
Pathtraced Cyberpunk is ahead of it. It's a remarkable achievement in videogame graphics.
Decima Engine continues to impress me more than any other engine. UE5 looks nice, but I wouldn’t fault Sony if they decided to go all in on this engine.
Looks phenomenal. I'm looking forward to play it upon finishing the main game. Horizon is one of the best video game series out there but unfortunately somewhat underrated. Great work Oliver, I enjoy your content a lot.
It's totally mind-blowing. A must have. I'm lost in it. Don't miss out. 💯💯💯💯
5:21. Oh my goodness. Look at how much better it look than the base game. That is sweet stuff right there 👌
6:54 "a kind of scale that's reminiscent of the older God of War games" - THANK YOU. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I've seen modern games and thought, "....God of War on PS2 felt bigger..."
Now i see why MS thinks it can't compete with Sony in-house studio's...Outstanding!!
Real life looks so garbage now.
Maybe you just live in some kind of urban hellscape, in which case you should really consider moving.
DF you need to seriously turn up the sound mix of your videos. They are so much quieter than other channels and ads.
Guerilla really nailed the beauty of the game world in both day time and night. Almost all open world games I prefer to mostly play during the day time because the night never looks quite right. Both times are stunning in this game
When you look at the visuals and how beautifully they run, then compare to games like Jedi Survivor and Redfall, it really highlights the difference.
I want to see a mashup video where this one dovetails into Redfall or Starfield’s inevitable tech breakdown, complete with sad trumpet fanfare.
*Wah, Wah, waaaaaaaah*
I still to this day, cant understand why anyone would ever play at 30fps. Ill take a lame 1080 60 any day. 30 is unbearable.
Wow! This looks great, imagine how the true next generation PS5 games will look like, upcoming games such as "Wolverine" will look even better than this
eh...i've been a pc gamer for my entire life, but thinking more and more about console..this looks amazing, guess it will need 1000+ euros gpus to run when it will eventually come to pc..
Well said Ollie, loved HFW:BS, it was good on so many levels, just simple things like flying around exploring are really enjoyable and complemented by a great sound scape.
And on the other side we have microsoft who will release redfall with only a 30 fps mode while looking much worse than this. Take notes
The visuals are incredible! Can’t wait to play it on my 120 Hz tv.
Shame it does only 30 fps on 4k.
@@insatiateire4784 *4k 40fps and 1800p 60fps with an vrr hfr mode up to 80/90 fps. Stop nitpicking, it's making you look very desperate lmao 😂
@@bryankowalczyk3982 sniff less copium.
The Clouds remind me of the Killzone 2 and 3 clouds.
This game is still a crossgen title and It Is terrific however. I Can't Think what Guerrilla Will do with their First real Next Gen production 🤤
This expansion is not. If you bought the game on PS4 you're SOL.
These developers are wizards man, you can't tell me otherwise. How is this not magic?🧙🧙♀️
@@exzero4384 You mean Kojima, he is the responsible one who did the engine.
@@KyleSetFire more than Half of this release Is Build on models and assets of the previous release... It looks Like something new or Is it extremely similiar to Forbidden West?
@@alessandrosciarra7612 Well, but they were able to push things beyond. So yeah, the foundation isn't completely current gen. But this couldn't have been possible on last gen either. But the next game, everything will be current gen. THis is easily one if not the best looking game. It's open world too, very few linear games look this good let alone open world.
It is so crazy how far we are coming with the tech these days used in games. I know this is a small thing and Im pretty sure this was in the other Horizon games but, I like to play around with the grass in particular. And what I noticed was this insane attention to detail in that when you walk on a heavy patch of grassy area, that grass will trample down just like in real life. I love stuff like that.
The game is stunning from the visual standpoint, but the story is lackluster and the characters are not interesting at all. It is sad to see such a great game is being killed by its own narrative designers.
PlayStation 5 is the only actual next gen console.
Lol
Meanwhile us Xbox series peasants are still waiting for a current gen first party game.
Who's readying the popcorn for DF's Star Wars Jedi Survivor coverage?
Not me ✅
At this point I'm just worried for Alex's sanity
Yep, just cancelled my pre order. I want the game, but will wait for the 500 patches to fix performance.
Jedi survivor is a good game but graphically its not mind blowing especially considering its a current gen title. Horizon Forbidden West on the other hand is a last gen title and still manages to look impressive while being an open world game
@@ajdaniel8128 who?
Excited to play this on the PC. For Horizon Zero Dawn, there was a big difference in facial animation and texture quality for many characters in the base game vs. Frozen Wilds. I wonder if we will observe the same for Horizon Forbidden West and Burning Shores areas.
Is this the best looking game out there? It’s crazy… Even UE5 could learn something from Decima.
Not sure what UE5 could learn, especially when it hasn't been out that long with basically only 1-2 games out using it. Some of the technical showcases I've seen done with it go past what Decima is doing here
@@crestofhonor2349 “Technical showcases” is the key word here.
@@Miha-ii3dy The engine is still fairly new so I'm not sure what they can learn, especially with how fast development is going on UE5.
Incredible! Thanks for this content, Oliver!
Please Guerrilla games make Killzone 4 last great shooter from you please I can’t imagine Killzone 4 with power of Decima engine 😭
Playstation has the most talanted developers out of any platform including the pc platform considering how much more powerful pc hardware is compared to consoles tells you what sony first party studios can do in terms of utilizing the ps5 hardware and we haven't seen spiderman 2 yet lol.. no pc game can't top this
PS5 better than PC
the details!! come on sony make ps5 slim already as base ps5 still costs 800 euros..
This looks fantastic and really makes me think of how lacking Tears of the Kingdom is as far as graphics and performance.
Sure but games don’t have to have amazing graphics to be fun. Ys VIII has PS2 level graphics and is still some of the most fun I had in recent years.
I played in 40FPS mode on my LG Oled. I really want that 40FPS mode in every game, it feels so smooth compared to 30, in my opinion the difference between 30 and 40 feels much more than 40 vs 60.
Law of diminishing returns
You get more than 60 if your TV support VRR.
@@insatiateire4784 It does support VRR but i like that combination of quality and frame rate in balance mode, i have played God of War Ragnarok and Ratchet & Clank Rift apart in 40fps mode too and its the best for me. The only game i played in 60fps+ mode was Modern Warfare 2.
60 is better in every way, actually 60 is SLUGGISH, 120FPS should be the new standard.
@@Cricis11700 ok kiddo
Can't wait until Andrew Schneider's next presentation on cloud rendering. Nearly an entire career dedicated to cloud rendering in movies and games. Insane.
I hope Guerrilla make another Killzone again. Come on Sony, I'm getting tired of Horizon, TLOUS and such. They are great games of course but why not make another great Killzone like Killzone 2?
Okay Oliver, now you got my interest!
What's that "hidden encounter" you spoke about? I got 100% in Burning Shores and can't remember seeing something like that 👀
Ha! I am wondering the same thing.
Might be referring to the returning chracter from HZD's DLC.
@@gothpunkboy89 That's what I thought, but he references the three side quests earlier in the video so I'm confused what the hidden encounter is as well. I've 100% the main game and Burning Shores (the only thing I can think of is the new challenges added to the Arena? But that isn't an "encounter").
Gildun is kinda a hidden encounter as you really unlock that while doing the Relic Ruin - but again he mentioned the three side quests earlier in the video and that is one of the three so I'm kinda stumped too.
Agreed. The scale and size of the final boss fight was truly breathtaking. I imagined this would technically not be possible on PS4.
Best looking game on any platform so far.
Crysis looks EONS better.....
@@Cricis11700put the pipe down grandpa
Sony first party engines are one of the few engines that might compete with Unreal Engine 5. Yeah, they did it. Guerilla has the best looking open world game. Honestly, only thing that can compete is Rockstar or Unreal Engine 5 games. Insomniac has to really showcase with Spiderman 2.
When you point out that the clouds don't move but you'd only notice in a timelapse, I'm like "well, not now that you pointed it out! Now I can't look at them without thinking they're static!" That line shoulda had a spoiler warning on it 😂. Gave away the secret to the magic trick and spoiled it!
Because there's no tone of voice in text, the above is light hearted and in jest. Have a lovely day!
How is redfall not 60fps when we see games with this level of fidelity existing on consoles?
It’s free on gamepass so don’t complain
its xbox. that is who they are...
@@danny.4506 "Free on Gamepass" is like saying "Free on Netflix". You pay, so it's not free
@@danny.4506 using that same excuse every time acting like these developers don’t have a budget from a company like Microsoft
@@danny.4506 We should absolutely complain. MS needs to get their shit together. We pay for GP I expect quality. Look at what Sony provides.
13/10 for tech. But they f❤❤❤❤❤ the combat. Way to much weapon/ammo combinations, slow archery and no time to aim, even with slow motion. Loved part 1 + DLC, but forbidden west didn't feel that great. Also I quit Burning Shores after 3 hours, fighting was just too frustrating.
I don't regard that as a F up. I regard it as good, but could be better. But yes, when you compare to how ridiculous it looks, then compared to that the combat is a step below
Sony is 10 years ahead of anything Microsoft can do. They push this tflop power narrative, but y'all should have listened to Mark Cerney when he said relying on tflops is dangerous. Microsoft won't match the PS5 graphically. They keep saying wait for the tools, wait for this, wait for that. I've seen first hand the PS5 runs almost all games I've tested better
Thing is, even the base map looks better also after patch 1.21. Decima engine is one of the best engines seriously!!!
Might be the best Single player DLC if seen in a while, you even get more fidelity
Meanwhile on pc Age of Wonders 4 looks like a iPad first generation game with disabled textures loading bug in 2023....ffs.
Love the base game but so far I'm not so impressed with the DLC, way to many pop ins and the player area itself is kinda meh for me. But I'm not done yet.
i really like the lighting around the character, it's not realistic but something you often see in cgi cutscene and movies
This is solid proof that the 2013 consoles are holding us back in a major way.
Too bad AC Mirage is still cross gen
And Series S

That brief shot at 3:25 is incredible. I can't think of any other game that can give you a view like that.
