You are right, and its just some ppl being obtuse, disingenuous for some reason...... Its easy to tell whats gameplay in the clip. Especially if you played the PS4 game. Grappling and rails were in that game.

I have no issue telling which parts are gameplay. I'm saying that for a "gameplay" trailer, the trailer didn't have nearly enough gameplay.
I'm aware there will be more later, I'm just saying this trailer didn't have enough.

Know one is technically denying that. The point is that this isn't the PS1 and PS2 era days where there was a massive difference between gameplay and pre-rendered video/cutscenes. Your average gamer isn't going to notice and thats a huge achievement.

What's more astonishing is the fact that his game will also have a 60fps mode, and the 30fps mode is just the game running with added ray tracing (and probably higher resolution?).

That means the PS5 is able to run this game at 60fps WITH THAT VISUALS - now think about what devs still could do with the graphics, if they would want to utilize the every last single drop of power out of the console (besides just adding ray tracing).

No hes wrong Because XSX has no exclusive games. You cant critique what doesn't exist. Also the PC version will be superior anyways.

About the graphics, tbh I'm not impressed.

This.

Normally it would be just a... trailer. When they put Gameplay Trailer on the title, you expect a lot more than what they showed.

My last post on this topic. Its Intresting and partly curious, that you don't see this type of critical analysis coming from vx and tdiddy on Xbox releases, but on PS games they absolutely have to get their opinions heard.

No ill will to anyone that has a counter opinion on particular games. I just find it somewhat hypocritical.

There aren't yet any games on Xbox to analyze.

They'll most likely have RT in the 60fps mode, probably at a lower res, like in both Spiderman games. But even in those games the average res is actually 1440p at 60fps with RT.

So, yes, they should have just called it "Trailer".

But also... get used to it? Game companies have to title their Youtube footage in a certain way to best meet YT SEO, and putting "Gameplay Trailer" will sort better and connect to "Game" recommendation systems better than the generic term Trailer and generate more views overall, especially given that there are multiple R&C Rift Apart trailers already in the system. Ideally, they'll title it in a way that's best for gamers as well as best for the Google spiders.

This one's not a crime. There's lots of gameplay in there, it's a gameplay-focused trailer instead of a story or character trailer (they might have called it the "Rivet Trailer" since she's a big part of it, but then maybe we'd be having these same 90/10 arguments since Ratchet's in it more,) there's going to be an entire Showcase in 3 days that'll be full of live gameplay, it's called a "Gameplay Trailer" not "Gameplay Showcase" so that already indicates that it's cut for the Trailer experience of best-of clips rather than a detailed display of how the game plays, we've already seen the game running in gameplay, and really, the only thing wrong with calling it "Gameplay Trailer" is that you had different expectations from the video title. Seems like one problem is easier to fix than another?

I get maybe you're trying to protect from. (I was pissed when Nacon had the balls to call the newest Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown video a "Trailer" when they've gone two events now and haven't shown a frame of footage,) but nobody's being ripped off here. It's a click to free content, and it doesn't clickbait you into something it doesn't deliver in the title (maybe not to your full satisfaction, but there's no pleasing everybody.) They showed the game being played (for the third? fourth time now?,) and they will show more real soon, and if you didn't get enough gameplay in the Gameplay Trailer, come back Thursday.

I liked your Demon's Souls thread. Looking forward to it.

You must forgive the Sony faithful. I think they've had a hard few months. They really need this right now.

LOL
I just thought it was funny to call that a 'gameplay trailer' for what they had shown, it was just a simple comment... and some were already calling me obtuse for that LOL

But I get it, I know how this place works. People get very sensitive with their console warring. Any comment they don't like is seen as ammo for their war. I'm def not going into this.

I was hoping for this too. It's going to look even better in person in 6 weeks when I get it home.

Feels like Insomniac is out in front of everyone.

It is a 4K trailer, check your device. If you are using Safari it has no 4K, so go to Chrome or Firefox. All of them are 4K though since months. Here is a 4K screenshot from the trailer:
